I tried Guinness for the first time on the 4th of April. It smelled like the morning after a party, but tasted like chocolate.
You seem quite open about drug misuse, would you be willing to start or post in an existing thread about it?
Somehow I knew you'd either be as clean as a whistle, or as filthy as a jack rabbit in a trash can.
heh heh... yeah... I'm pretty much what users in America call a lightweight junkie or garbagehead (!) (I say lightweight because I don't use stuff like heroine, morphine or metamphetamines).
well, there was an addiction thread, but it veered off into chocolates and TV and rot like that... I'm not saying they're not important, but drug use (includes alcohol, because alcohol is a drug, and people need to stop saying alcohol and drugs because it makes it seem like alcohol is somehow better or more benign than) is different to such a degree that it becomes, for all intents and purposes, different in kind.
You know, if I can't find a (good) drug use thread I'll start my own. Not now though... gotta go study, mate!

Oh... and there's one thing about Guinness... you redcoats over there like your Guinness warm, with a frothy head. We, on the other hand, drink it chilled (NOT lukewarm).
As for descriptions, I like that... Guinness smells like "the morning after a party"... in NYC I've most commonly heard it referred to as resembling "motor oil".
