I thought that was part of the fun (or it is for me, stinky, foot-rot and the others under the arches). Nothing like a taste of a pigeon roasted over a burning Nissan Micra after a few can't of tramp juice. ;-)
So did I, till the doctor said my ulcer didn't enjoy it as much as I did. ;-(

I think my favourite (at the time) was Colt 45, but I also enjoy(ed) a can of Special Brew, Tennants Super, Breaker or more recently, Kestrel Super:

If I fancied something a bit lighter a bottle or two of Pils would often go down nicely (in fact one of the two times I've been drunk in my life was on a free stream of Pils that I only realised what affect it was having when I tried to get off the bar stool. I was also reminded that I didn't want to do such again whilst laying in bed and feeling the room spin round and in the morning when offered a 'Full English' breakfast.
Now I'm down to the '4 for a pound' 2% things from the supermarkets that just make a change from tea, coffee or squash. ;-(
Maybe I better get a few cases of Kestrel in and put them with my stash of 60W incandescent light bulbs. ;-)

p.s. I also went though the wine and beer brewing fad and at one time had 4 'RotoKegs' [1] filled with lager, bitter, mild (< those two were for my mates and Mrs) and red wine. From what I remember they were dangerous times.
[1] If that was what they were called? They had two metal plates that you bolted together with the pressure release valve that formed the seal of the top with the use of a rubber gasket?
In the US in the '902, I had a couple of Beer Sacks, basically a brew mix to which you added water, and hung it up in a cupboard to ferment, and then drew off when you wanted a decent drink. I had one working in a hotel, I wonder what the maids thought! See:

Made in the UK (for now), sold in the US. How to export to the World.
Now that's the sort of 'utility' I like to go for. ;-)
The thing is 'most' people either want to make more of a hobby out of the whole process (like many do with food) or they get suckered into thing by good marketing or sales persons.
And don't get me wrong, I can (have) been suckered into getting all the stuff, like more fishing gear than I'd ever need or enough brewing kit to start a small brewery / bottling plant. ;-)
