Sand in my pants

Why do Americans make such rubbish beer? Millers is like dishwater, Budweiser leaves a nasty taste and Amstel is inconsequential. Except I stand corrected - Amstel is apparently Dutch. They usually make a great beer. They should be ashamed of this one. I must have assumed it was American because it tastes so bad!

Still, that didn't stop me from going to a media party last night for the launch of Amstel Pulse - a funkily bottled beer that is low in carbs but still has the same alcohol content. So you can get smashed but your arse won't get quite so fat. A fine idea except that the beer tastes of precisely nothing. So naturally I drank too much of it - because it is as easy to swill as water - the last half-hour of my evening is a blur, and I have a raging hangover today. On the upside though, I have been told that I cut a fine, fine figure on the dancefloor.
