    Beers in Acadamia

    I think it is important to have a round drinks, to support the students of course.

    Every good student prepares for exams with some good beer

    (OK, I only did it once, and for an economics exam. But it still was kinda cool to be able to truthfully say I was out drinking beer till way after midnight the day before an exam and still passed it easily.)

    So do we. Well, two, actually, but one of them is only open once a week or so.

    We apparently used to, but they got shut down after being caught serving underage students too many times.

    Leeds University is right next to the city centre, so in addition to the three bars in the Union building, there are another 6 within 5 minutes walk, and loads in the city and all over the student area. Some of these I still appreciate (for the quality of booze of course, not staring at hot young students. )

    anyone heard of a mass-produced premium brand called 'Old Speckled Hen'?

    It's my new favourite.

    My new roommate brought Guiness in by the flat, but I think I'm now almost too cultured for Guiness (almost)...

    Beer thread!

    The University I went to had a "night club" on campus run by students that served beer, but I never went there - something about being in North Philly at night kind of disturbed me.

    There are several bars bordering campus. Happy hour at my favorite one tonight.

    I'm not even sure how many pubs there were at UBC and U of T. Off the top of my head, I remember at least five at UBC and three at U of T. However, U of T is a total urban campus, and there must have been at least 15-20 more within a ten minute walk of my school.

    I don't know if I'd be able to count the bars around the Concordia campus. Theres a bar on the 2nd floor of the main building, and several across the street from the Library, and dozens more within a very short walk.

    Wel dis, at least your heart is in the right place.

    And beer I'm going to be quite upset when I go back to the USA in two weeks - here in Austria, nobody cares if I drink when I'm 19. Stupid drinking age.
