41 EDIT: Yes, and fixed, too!
How did you calibrate your taste buds for this comparison? Yuck.
There's more than one recipe, so it's a complex answer. Nothing like an amber after work, an Indian pale ale on a hot day, or a stout in the winter. I'm too new world tho', in that I like my Guinness cold.
Simply put: it's taste. I'm too old to drink to drunkenness. Hic.
And now I feel 41. Thanks.

my dad is 43 and i didn't mean it to offend you i just thought it was funny/
No offense, my friend.
But now I know how my wife feels when a younger person calls her "Lady". Actually, I wish my kids were older, so I could have a beer with them, or at least relate on a higher level than "Don't eat that". 16-43 is a good spread. You'll have a long life together.
No offense, my friend.
how old are your kids if you dont mind me asking (if you do mind thats fine too.)
3 and 6. Today's dinner conversation from the 6-year-old: "I want an iPod".
It's the circle of life.

your kids are really young! i love you profile picture by the way.
13 years young. And I'm not sure the exact time I was born, but I will be 14 in 43 minutes
you mean 53 right (as in when you made that post)
I will be 62 in November. That makes me 61
And don't tell me I'm old.

The bottom of the full forums list has a birthday field. There are three 67 year olds around here.

I thought you only had to be 18 to order the "whacky"?
Wait...what?
Yes and I really needed and appreciated the attention and help I got from some elderly great-great aunts who lived with us at my grandparents' home in their old age; one taught me how to sew and the other how to bake bread and play card games like hearts and canasta. So it's a two-way street with multiple generations in a household. Everybody can benefit. Maybe the economic crash will bring some of that back around and make it seem more viable and even desirable again, who knows.
In retrospect, I so admire the patience of my elderly tutors! Back then i just thought it was all fun. I must have driven them nuts because I was always one for skipping ahead instead of honing a skill or even understanding the process fully. Why knead bread for more than a couple minutes
when getting it into the oven seemed the main thing? Why take little stitches when you get round the hem in a hurry with big stitches? My great-great aunts patiently allowed me to see the folly of my shortcuts play out (as long as it was not dangerous) instead of just forcing me to do it their way. I baked a lot of grimy little marble-sized experiments... and ripped out a lot of what might as well have been basting stitches.Nowadays of course I am trying to practice having more patience in taking up the elder's end of that teaching role, but I'm a lot better at helping the young ones with computer issues than in trying to persuade them that they might ever want to know how to sew or bake. One of my adult nephews likes to cook and bake and one of my young nephews does too. The younger nieces better hope they marry someone like that or they'll starve.
Around here, groups like the scouts and 4H kids go visit people at the nursing homes. Not just at holiday times, but for special projects like making posters or fun ornaments for residents' doors, sharing a meal with them on such occasions, and sometimes it's reversed with the elderly offering to teach the kids how to do something or other, one time maybe scrapbooking, another time repotting some overgrown houseplants.
There are now more assisted living and even nursing homes that have cats or dogs that residents can enjoy if they wish. And kitchen-sharing nights where residents get to share recipe secrets to produce special meals. The more we can make nursing homes be a place of ongoing involvement in life, the better it works for everyone, staff and resident alike.
sigh because I can't go to bars and get drunk yet.sigh? Dont give me that. You can order off infomercials

I have to do it at home or at friends parties.

Plus there is this place called the Opera house near where I live that has live local bands and drinks on Friday / Sat nights, but it's 21 at the door check -.-
