Not if you live in a multigenerational home. We have three generations squeezed into two bedrooms, like at the start of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. No batin' going on here.

You all still live with your Mum? Or your Mum lives with you?
I'm confused. Is your house small?

I'm the same as well. Sort of. Except with the beer. I've drunk VB all my life (yes, I know, that's sacrilege!) and I still do, especially at pubs on tap. I've tried so many craft type beers and so many of them are pretty crap. They are trying to be too different and fancy I find. I do love a Corona (even after the virus was a thing :) )
I also cheap out with t-shirts from K-Mart/Target, as well as joggers.
I also love my coffee every day yet I am no coffee snob. I mostly get good, and rarely get a bad coffee.
Simply because the coffee culture in this country is so competitive these days.

The worse headaches I've ever had are off craft beers. And as off little as 2. Felt like my head was hit by a hammer.
I'm a VB drinker. It's a good beer.

My local is Jervis Bay Brewing Co so I like to try and support them as much as possible. They're a good bunch of blokes and do a lot for the community. Not too over the top with most of their brews either. Some of the 10% milkshake ipa's and fruited sours from some breweries etc are too far imo.
Agreed. Its a balance. I don't mind the odd 10% f**k off beer but its not sustainable.

The sweet spot for me is 5-7%. My local in Brisbane used to do a couple of ball tearing IPAs in the high 6% region that were dangerously chub-o-licious.

I had a crazy Uncle that was a legend but has since passed. He was a chemical engineer and used to brew his own beer before it was fashionable. Big Guiness and stout fan and could make the most amazing nitro pour beer.

His theory was that commercially brewed beer had preservatives that caused hangovers. He said he never got one when he drunk his own beer.

I take his theory with a grain of salt but thought I'd share.

Mik reckons those small craft beers are known to give headaches cause the merkins don't know what they're doing half the time.
