Love it, keep it below 20 pints and you are ok
Am in my garage, sorting my bike out for the morning as was a bit neglected, pc on MP3 duties and near the (Stella Branded) fridge enjoying its contents along to Dark Side of the Moon, to be honest,its small stolen moments like this that make life worthwhile, forget beaches in the sun, a Cheshire garage in January just above freezing with the smell of GT 85 hanging heavy in the air is the pinnacle, bike is nice and shiny, rear wheel trued, lubricated, lights on charge, its all about small pleasures, if you enjoy it then its all good !

I like having about 2/3 Stellas in the house once and a while as it gets my cheeks rosey enough to chill-ax!
From my own experience and from reading thru this thread, I think people use Stella as an excuse of acting like a complete dick whilst out drinking. I do believe if you gave someone a lesser beer and told them it was Stella within a few pints they'd be acting like a complete tosser due to the "Stella-effect"
As for hangovers, Budweiser is the worst!

Not a fan of Stella.
This is the best I've ever had!
Only available at one place on the planet though! ......and it's not local!
Hochwälder Brauhaus (¯`·-> Keine Feier ohne Hochwälder, das Brauhaus in Losheim am See
If you're ever in the Rhineland-Palatinate area of Germany (Trier is the closest City) then I highly recommend a visit!

I'd probably do 10-12 Stellas/Kroney a few years back, perhaps a couple more for an extended session.
I'm more of a distance man these days and prefer the weaker % beers, but still like a bit of bite. (hence the Becks Vier)
I'm normally up by 7 on a Saturday morning, take the dogs for an hours walk and never drive before noon, if I have to get off early on a Saturday then I won't go out, it's all or nothing for me.
I admire anybody that can go for a pint or two on the way home and call it a day.
Carling Premier, that's a blast from the past, bloody horrible stuff, flat as a witches tit and tastes just as sour.

As for bitters and ales. Don't touch them and never will.
I'll miss it though. 2010 is the year of sobreity and exercise. Sober is the new drunk!

I shall "man up" as it were and admit to drinking Stella and quite enjoying it. Never used to drink it in the UK, but I do over here. If it's not Stella then it'll be Heineken or Rickards Red.
Fosters is evil, evil stuff and always gives me a hangover, even if it's just one pint. Very odd indeed.
I also recall Carling Premier, and do also recall it being very drinkable but rather potent.

I know it has a bad rep, I remember as a young man in the late eighties early nineties it was the drink of the lager connesuir, the riff raff drank Carling or whatever bu over time reassuringly expensive has become cheap and pikey, if I serve it at a Bonfire or party it goes down like wildfire but I get the impression that the blokes drinking it and their wive think I sleep in Bus Stations with (barking) Dog a string, but get this, I think it tastes pretty good, ok people may start rattling on about Peroni or Leffe but Stella is still an eminently decent tasting beer, I am not talking about the weirdos that drink warm beer with twigs in but the real men who like Lager, the one true drink, bitter is only acceptable if there is no lager !
I have tasted many many beers and I am not saying Stella is the best by any stretch but I have tasted some utter turd juice dressed up as real ale, really disgusting insipid lagers and Stella seems to be fairly acceptable most of the time,
Discuss !

FTW = ******* Tremendous Wee's
or No.1 choice, for the win, is the best, rather splendid etc
I really like Heineken, another bonus is that the factory tour is something to do during the day in Amsterdam

I reckon all you youngsters have turned soft - Now in my day 10 pints of Fullers ESB was considered brain damage and possibly coma inducing. It is a London brew and is well supported by Youngs Special and Courage Directors. Its just not the alcohol content but also the SG of the beer which results in the hang over intensity.
