Had some Sam Adams Boston Lager then some Wild Turkey American Honey...and won $113 in poker.

Is it just me or all mainstream beer brands tastes the same?

Yeah, they all taste like water.  Truthfully though, I find a subtle difference between all the major beers and you can get quite attatched to the nuance. I find a huge difference in aftertaste between Peroni and Moretti and therefore don't drink the former.  A little harder to tell with Australian and American stuff, but I do find a significant difference between the two.

I generally drink mainstream lager bc other beers are way too expensive in my country. I prefer to "invest" that money in a better red wine for example.

"I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it—unless I’m thirsty."

I love Champagne for all the same reasons as Lilly.

I need no excuse I love decent champagne.
Spent a while near Rheims and tasted champagne they hardly ever exported.
Fantastic place

I used to drink a Champagne cocktail at the Atlantic Bar and Grill (deceased) that is apparently unknown (as I can't find a reference to it anywhere). It was called a "Screaming Eagle" and it was basically Champagne (preferably Cristal) and a shot of Crème de menthe. It was the absolute dogs doodahs.
