So it's 14 units a week now is it?

THey seldom buy a drink. I always assumed this was why their recommended consumption was lower. Also, they tend to be a nuisance when drunk whereas men are generally a laugh (apart from those who start fights)

Don't you find that an excess of Guinness results in a firm, black stool with a fine, honest, earthy aroma?

Admittedly, I say this on the back of a week where I achieved an historic level of sobriety only to discover that I totaled 36 units. :-\

Surely the finger-wagging is an example of intolerance which is, in turn, a hate crime (punishable with imprisonment, btw). If I wagged my finger at a demi-boy on the street then I would be arrested immediately for doing a hate crime. Why no difference here?

They do tend to be a nuisance, don't they? Not all of them, but as a rule. If you can't/don't want to have sex with them (or vice versa, he adds hurriedly), drunk women really aren't a lot of use, it must be said.

'Demi-boy'? I am befuddled by this terminology, r.

It's the blackness I find alarming.

An excess of lager is much harder on the bowels than either bitter or Guinness. I blame the fizziness.

I do remember cider being a bit dangerous, mind.

A demiboy is a gender identity describing someone who partially, but not wholly, identifies as a man, boy or otherwise masculine, whatever their assigned gender at birth. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to feeling partially a boy or man.

I would feel no compunction about wagging my finger at such a person, r. Indeed, a good kick up the hole is what they need.

They get loud and tend to start using the word 'mate' which never seems to sound right coming from a woman.

Not really. I think this Guinness was fairly weak actually. I know for a fact I had 11 pints one evening and I wasn't massively plastered- in England 11 pints would floor me.
