You mean compared to:

I think it could be worse tbqh senpai.
England has a weird old prejudice to anything that isn't a cider, an ale, a lager or a snakebite. Wines are for gays, vodkas are for Slavs and whiskey/cognac/brandy is for old snobs. That's a mentality shared by majority of pub blokes. To be honest though as much as we like to drink our livers to death we are rather polite in our drunkenness.

Because we're bored and we have too much leisure time which is unnatural. We've been trained to believe we're incapable of a social outing unless it involves alcohol; if we're not drinking then we're not "fun".
I've recently begun doing long distance walking/hiking/camping and I've discovered how good it feels to just be a "human being" rather than a "human doing". I've taken my friends with me and it turns out we have just as much of a good time; if not a better time hiking up a huge mountain.
People are whats important; not the activity.

There was only ever once a hot British girl I saw online. She was super smoking hot. I saw her collection of pics on like a reddit amateur porn subreddit. She had reddish, auburn hair, a super skinny waste and big tits. There were a lot of pictures of her out with friends at parties, and a few of her in a boat. She wore tight ass dresses and big pumps. She kind of looked like Lindsey Lohan, with the freckles.

Yes wild camping isn't allowed; but if you pitch up in the evening and be smart you're not going to get caught. Even if you do get caught all they'll do is move you on; although I've never been caught yet.

Have you ever had Ale 8 One? It's the unofficial state soda of Kentucky. I'd describe it as a mix of 25% Sprite, 75% ginger ale. It's a citrusy ginger ale. Anyway, it is God-tier to mix with bourbon, and it's all Kentucky local.

Good luck man. I was gonna say your accent should woo her over, but you're in Great Britain so that won't have as much effect as it will here. Word of advice?

Historically speaking Beer may not have been a replacement for water, but it was viewed as a more nutritious alternative than water. Even though it was weakly brewed from barley, at the time beer was a calorie-laden beverage that pulled double-duty with workers and farmers who were thirsty and in need of energy.
It's long been in the British culture we also like to piss in the streets after closing time. much like Indians shitting in the streets. but of course we have toilets at home and at pubs.
we just like doing it because white people are degenerates and smell of wet dog.

kek you're right. I drank Kentucky Gentleman in college but that's not even bourbon. It's like 60% whisky, 40% "spirits."
The cheapest, actual bourbon that you can get is Old Crow. It was once a good brand, preferred by General Ulysses S. Grant. Nowadays, Old Crow is to Jim Beam what Busch Lite is to Budweiser. In huge factory distilling, they have giant grain storage that goes onto elevators and onto conveyor belts to the malting process. Sometimes, huge green balls of moldy corn or wheat will form within the rest of the grain, and it gets pushed into the line and turned into bourbon just like the good batches of corn at these mega-distillers. When they go through and taste the final barrels, all the shitty ones with that moldy taste get bottled as Old Crow and sold for $8 a handle (1.5 L for our Euro friends). Some bottles are not too awful, but some are literally undrinkable because of the mold flavor.
If I want really cheap bourbon at the bar in Kentucky, I ask for Old Crow and a mixer soda to drown out the flavor.
>>71062421
American beer is the same strength as British. It just tastes water downed. Its all around the 5% mark.
>>71060916
Liberal here. After spending so much time in /britfeels/ I can easily say it's a rainy uneducated shithole. The kids there lose virginity during their tweens.
>>71064212
Yeah but it wasnt like a proper pub quiz was it? It lacked the soul and heart.
>>71066612
Plenty m8. Accent+3 years lifting works wonders. I'm a good looking guy though. Americans are more attractive than British in general. If I was average I could probably only pull fat sorority girls
I remember once, I was in Munich with some mates, and we were out drinking in the park, and then my mate just keeled over, so we picked him up and set off home back to the hostel. So then we were sitting there at the tram station waiting for the tram, and we'd laid him out on the ground because there weren't any benches and we were hardly going to hold him up for 15 minutes waiting for a tram like. And then this nurse drove by, and she stopped and got out, and she wanted to take him to hospital, but we were just like, no, this is normal, he does this all the time, but she called the cops on us.
So in answer to your question I'd say we're just fucking banterful madlads and the continentals are dry shites who don't know a drunken stupor from a hole in the head.

You'll notice I said that Molly Malone's is a corporate bar with franchises, and not a pub. Yes, they purposely picked an Irish lady's name because they are supposed to have an Irish theme to the place.
Clearing up the stupid fucking pub/bar argument...
Traditionally a pub is a 'public house'. It doesn't just serve beer and meals but also has rooms for people to stay in. They didn't become centres for the community, more often than not the community developed with the pub as its centre.

Putting muh on the front of something doesn't enhance your argument. It just makes you look incapable of rhetoric. Anyway, yes if you've ever visited the US you will see that microbrews now have a larger share of the market than macrobrews.
>>71060385
Because it´s a depressing cold windy Island. It force you to drink to forget.
>>71065342
>>everyone knows the everyone
So you might say that it's somewhere" where everybody knows your name"? Cheers was one of the biggest sitcoms ever
>>71066673
Im guessing you've never been in a bar outside of a major city in the US. The point im trying to make is that what you call going to a pub is what we would call going to the bar is. Lots of small town bars have tables, serve food, and have games.

No. Just behind the Printworks.
>>71066397
Cheers. I might take a visit then. My friend's girlfriend is trying out for the Canadian Women's National Lacrosse team, and I believe the world cup of lax is in England next year. They're both lesbians so it will be nice to get away with some local girls.
>>71065342
so what is weatherspoons? a bar or a pub ?
>>71067239
The point is that these bars are not filled with British/Irish culture and people and so they're not pubs, they're bars.
>>71064484
Do you not have happy hour in the UK?
It's a bit of a misnomer more often than not here, my favorite bar has happy "hour" M-F 2 pm to closing, everything half off. Get 22 oz craft beer for $3.50 or so (~£2.50 for you bongs).
But traditionally it's around 4 or 5 pm usually lots of deals for cheap beer and food and such, when people are getting out of school (college) or off work. Of course there are plenty of dirt cheap bars anyway without happy hour.
>>71066267
Most girls I know usually wear sneakers, some times sandals. Heels are exclusively worn by strippers, and not even most strippers wear them (thank god.)
>>71066270
They are completely ridiculous.
>>71067417
It's a half and half. Depends where you live and what time it is
>>71062814
>Here in NYC I have 3 pubs within 5 minutes walking distance owned and ran by actual potato-niggers.
Well anything has to be in walking distance in Joo York. It costs $100,000 to buy, register, maintain a car in NY.
Otherwise, if its not close, you have to take a bus (the scooter). You have a huge chance that you will be robbed, or knocked out.
The buses are nasty and filthy and smell like a wet dog.
So yeah, erryone knows if you cant walk to it, forget it.
>>71067423
you're right. thats why ive been calling them BARS for this entire argument you twat.
>>71066584
Yeah, that's probably true. But every time you say English some damn Scotsman or Northern Irelander jumps down your throat about the definition of the UK and who is represented by the flag, so I played it tolerant.
>>71067417
It's a chain of bars/restaurants known for selling alcohol really cheap.
Plus a decent burger plus any pint of beer/ale/cider is £7 which is alright.
>>71067396
I worked in the Lass O'Gowrie on NYE so I missed out on this beautiful scene.. Where in Manc you from?

It's the same shit you pedantic weirdos.
>>71067239
In American movies, bars often seem to be out in the middle of nowhere and you have to drive to get to them. Is it actually like that outside of big cities?
The thing I'd miss most about moving away from the British Isles is that here you're never more than a brisk walk away from a drinking establishment.
>>71067417
spoons is one of them weird places that is whatever you want it to be on the night that it is. It's a pub, bar, disco, club, drinking dive. 10/10
>>71067550
I don't live in Brownsville or the Bronx, two places like you described so i'm fine.
>>71067553
The argument is whether or not Americans have pubs, thank you for agreeing that you don't.
>>71067622
>implying you could openly piss in the corner of a pub
Try again
Americans who have never been to the UK will never understand
>>71067637
Yes, and there's tumbleweeds and a giant retard with a chainsaw at every place thay serves drinks
>>71067637
those are biker/trucker bars. scary places
>>71067401
Be warned, outside of London the women are rough and nasty. The exception are places where the rich live, but they only socialise with the people at their £30k a year private schools.
>>71067637
It's the reason everyone drink drives in the US. I didn't understand why so many college students got arrested for DUI until I figured out that most bars are at least a 30 minute walk
>>71066973
I thought Germans were cooler about being publicly drunk, like they expected it of you if you were drinking. Guess I was wrong, based on this anecdote.
>>71067673
Except it's depressing as shit and full of old lonely men and chavs and slavs being a bunch of obnoxious belligerent cunts.

Rochdale.
I'm looking to move out. I don't think I need to explain why; it's Rochdale.
Plus I'm sick of Manchester. I've been here all my life and only ventured as far as the Lancs for university. I just want to move somewhere else for a bit.
>>71067815

>>71067637
>never more than a brisk walk away from a drinking establishment.
It's shit I know. I have to drive to the nearest one everytime.
>>71067886
well... yea.
>>71067850
Same here. Plus where I went cops would wait in the parking lot or nearby and arrest anyone who got in their car and turned the keys so everytime you left you had to drunkingly scour the area making sure no cops were waiting.
>>71067472
Sneakers with dresses and jeans even? Girls I know where some type of slip on shoe, they look like the Vans shoes but more stylish, or sandals in the summer. I've also seen short boots with zips on the side that have a small heel.
>>71067886
>not enjoying the cultural circus that is always on show in spoons
I think it's great fun
