Life after lager
Posted by Martin on January 17, 2007
So far, so good. I’ve managed to last seventeen days on the wagon since my New Year Resolution-fest, and all seems to be going well. The one thing I do miss is a nice, cool relaxing beer at the end of a stressful day, so last night, I tried something which I never thought I’d have to resort to: alcohol-free lager. I know there have been a lot of jokes about the stuff over the years, but I thought to myself, surely it can’t be THAT bad…
Well, it turns out that those jokes were made for a reason. One sip was bearable; a second mirrored the sensation of accidentally drinking paint stripper. Which, incidentally, is slightly preferable to a whole bottle of this stuff. Ah well, it was a nice idea. Guess I’ll be back on the diet cokes next time.
