it's funny how a thread about stella artois lager turns into a 'my fav beer is this and that and it's top quality unlike that garbage stella blablabla' if you seriously think one type of lager makes you behave in odd ways or gives you a freakish hangover time after time, you probably shouldn't be drinking at all. oooh yeah we're so cool we all LOVE beers, lagers and ales innit. Drinking alcohol is so hip on xltronic I sure am glad to be part of the movement. Did i mention i LOVE stella artois? |

stella was the only beer possible to drink when i was in scotland. those 237 ml or whatever bottles were shit though. |

I don't mind stella. Id rather drink ales though. Stella definitely gives you a worse hangover than the ales, and noone likes having a hangover really. My preference is nothing to do with being 'cool' - have you ever been to a real ale festival? The peeps there are anything but 'cool'. But hey have a rant moment if you like it's all personal preference. Well that, or I'm cool as fuck cos i drink beer. |

i agree of course, it's personal, but this thread is about stella and i'm just wondering why people are replying in the thread if they don't like the stuff. you haven't been on the board very long i think so you probably missed a few of these threads: to link just a few. |
||||||||

well it's the 'stella' thread not the 'i love stella' thread so i guess the denizens can comment as they please. nothing like being a pedant tho. |

I'm still wondering if you actually believe that nonsense about a certain brand of lager turning people into train wrecks and wife beaters. my goodness you really must be absolutely deranged if you do. thanks for keeping the thread balanced in true xlt fashion i suppose. |

on tap stella has a higher alcohol content than your average beer, so your general punter is generally going to considerably be more the worse for wear after 6 stella than 6 harp or whatever- ergo more messiness- "wifebeater" is a very common nickname for stella in the uk. I assume you are from elsewhere. so if you don't think there's a correlation between violent behaviour and alcohol i suggest you go on a friday night. do you have anything else to add? |

oh dont ask him that. |

his brain links everything in the shortest distance it shouldn't take long. |

|

|

He didn't even mention anything about wifebeater in that post? So your post was a complete non sequitir? Stella is just over 5%, which is quite a lot stronger than many other beers. No wonder 8 pints of the stuff will make you go a bit loopy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

bottles are just over 5 but on pints on tap can be closer to 6 and over - i was informed by a friend who's been a bar man for 6+ years. harp and shit is usually down 3-4%. |

Ha! I'm sorry for dispensing false information. I've had it a couple of times with seafood and it was a nice combination. There's something citrusy about it. |

if a certain lager is stronger than others, you can't blame it for making you behave differently. alcohol is alcohol and if you notice that a certain drink is knocking you off your feet too soon, you should slow down or stop fucking drinking. you think the higher alcohol content in stella is some kind of excuse for being an irresponsible cunt? as if most people don't drink any other type of lager and don't stop until they're absolutely shitfaced (on a friday night at least). as for the correlation between alcohol and violence, yes i think we are all aware of that so honestly, is putting a 'wifebeater' tag on a lager not the most ridiculous, ignorant and cowardly thing you people can possibly come up with? please get a grip on yourself. |

stoz that'll be the one known as 'big tescos'. lupus: i'm 97% sure that stella from a tap or stella from the bottle or stella from the can have the same % alcohol by volume it used to be 5.2% but wiki and quick trip to my fridge have confirmed that it is now 5% this thread was fine until the last few posts when it took on a typical xlt bitch fest. phuck you sir. |

honestly, this is getting really tiresome. Firstly do you take everything you read literally? I personally did not make a line that said EVERYONE that drinks stella is aggressive. It's a GENERALIZATION. It was a 20 word personal opinion based on experience. can you make that distinction? Secondly at no point did I state that I myself had used stella as an excuse my own violence? Where on earth did you make this connection? I'm not a binge drinker and i'm not a fighter. I didn't state anywhere that it was an excuse for anything by anyone. but thanks for your paragraph of haughty advice. Thirdly I didn't personally make up the "wifebeater" nickname. Do you think it makes sense to tell someone to get a grip on themselves because someone else in their country made up a slang? more confused dribble. I personally think a stella hangover isn't worth it and there's better beers in the world. But honestly if you can't help but get sanctimonious when someone has an opinion that doesn't agree with yours then maybe you should get another pastime. being priggish isn't really called for, with me or anyone else. i'm considering that the end of this. |

i'm quoting you directly here 'stella's pretty horrible. Turns people into train wrecks and gives you a serious chemical hangover, the 'wifebeater' tag is for a reason. ' don't repeat the rubbish you've been brainwashed with. If you get a heavy hangover from this it has as much to do with your physiology. Please show us evidence that there are chemicals in stella which cause this instead of just assuming or repeating it. there are tons of people who can drink the stuff without any problems so it annoys me that a group of idiots is determined to give it a bad name, yourself included. a type or brand of drink can not be responsible for any problems arising after people willingly choose to consume it and that's all i'm trying to get you to acknowledge. |

do you work for stella or something? Here's an adjustment- maybe you can swallow this. The following is a personal opinion not the work of a defamatory gestalt against the stella corporation:- I think stella's pretty horrible. In my experience it turns some people into train wrecks and can give you a mingeing chemical hangover. I think the 'wifebeater' image reflects this is because it is stronger than your average beer, and people do not consider this. The stella corporation encourages the responsible use of their products. |

no i don't work for stella. i would've defended any brand like this no matter if i enjoy the product or not. your opinion is useless to me however 'funny' you try to word it because you still fail to see the fallacies associated with your point of view. |

Without going down the whole chemical / wifebeater route. It's fairly easy to see why stella has a fairly bad rep, and is well known for getting you very pissed. Whereas lager such as Carlsberg or Carling is only 3.8% or 4% respectively Stella is a whopping 5.2% in comparison. The price difference between these drinks is normally about 10p. The difference in drinking 8 pints of each of these lagers, and the extra units you'd drink drinking stella is a substantial amount. That is why people get so fucked up on it, whether or not it contains chemicals. The wifebeater tag has only strung about because of how much stronger it is than people appreciate. Saying things like you get a heavy hangover from Stella because of your physiology is one the one hand so obviously true its not worth pointing out (your physiology will dictate your hangover no matter what the drink), surely the main point here is that it is just as easily to put away 6 cans of stella as it is 6 cans of carlsberg. There is for most people, hard drinkers or not, a noticeable difference in the hangover. Without even getting into the whole 'chemical shit' debate you're not making any sense. |
