Whatever it is I agree.

Actually it's 1oo proof, not 100% proof. But you're right about it being 100-proof = 50% alcohol. I think it's because it makes 151 Rum sound prettier.. or that 190-proof Grain Alcohol sound as bad as it is.

Double with a chaser, if you please, menza.
(aka boilermaker)

Oops.. maybe I've had too many already... 1oo was naturally supposed to be 100... should've worn my glasses.

Oh.. and Moon Shadow was Cat Stevens.. Moonlight Shadow was Mike Oldfield.

Naw.. was a local metal band. They were quite good, actually, but all the members save one had well-paying day jobs and were afraid to give them up for the risks of breaking into the business.

Another round, please.

I could do with a nice and spicy bloody mary, if anyone could knock one up for me

I'd like a Sloe Comfortable Screw please.

A woman went into a bar and asked for a Double Entendre, so the barman gave her one.

Follow it up with a juice.

Seems like a well balanced diet, Nonny!

I think I'll have the same - and a pizza!

*pours , 4 and a few for good measure*

Here you go.

Ah yes, thank you.. that will fill out the diet.. Must have our yeast.

I only get yeast when I put my foot in my mouth

How can you make (or for that matter) without brewer's yeast??

Yep, melons and marrows have a natural yeast in them. you can Scrape them out and fill them with the stuff you want to brew

don't use brewer's yeast, use somebode slse's

Well I'd still rather use melon yeast rather than the stuff between 's toes!

if you really want alcohol without using yeast for some ethical reason then you'd have to go via the chemical route, unless someone out there knows any other biological processes that produce alcohol as a by-product.

I know that you can get some types of alcohol related substaces from wood, but you wouldn't want to drink those.
