Flimsy drinks

Last night I ended up as part of an international entourage (two Romanians, a Serb, and someone from the United Arab Emirates) that went to the student bar at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). While I originally intended to stay in most of the night and study, the prospect of cheap beers with some people was too much to pass up, and I ended up not reading anything at all.

One thing I realized while there: No words exist that will stop me from drinking a brand of beer faster than "reduced alcohol". There was a type of beverage on tap that we had never heard of, "Worthington's Creamflow", so I inquired if it was a beer or alcohol cider. "Oh, it's a beer, but it has less alcohol in it." Why, I never! They might as well just put a label on the bottle that says, "Now with 33% less fun!" Bollocks, I claim.
