    i always take 'beer' to mean anything that appears in pint (or half-pint) glasses, as opposed to those lethal things that come in shot glasses or clinking around with ice. :ugeek:

    hang on... cider comes with the option of ice nowadays doesn't it, youngsters ? dang, that's broken my rule of thumb... i'm confusing myself now...

    i too am not drinking beer (at least not purely) - can't stand the taste of it. but do you british guys know beer+lemonade (we call it radler here in austria/germany), if i would order this at a pub/bar?

    it's more a question of interest, because i do like cider :D - and i think this will be the beverage of my joice. the problem with "radler" is the low alcohol content ;D

    and if it's a nice lady behind the bar then it's always polite to ask for a hand shandy.
