Thanks Guys!

I was right to think I'll get more alcohol in the SYM than sitting in the pub to make the list by ourselves.
I'm going to suggest my friend we should research if our local pubs carry those alcohol mentioned here, before the big day... I don't drink much myself (particularly just after having gasritis. I'm very careful

). But my friend is from the north, did undergraduate in Scotland and have some Irish friend, and they are coming. She's up for it...
Please keep posting.

I come out of my cabin and am surrounded by whippersnappers.

Long Island Icetea (v. good)
Alabama Slammer
Lynchburg Lemonade (made with Tennessee whiskey, Jack Daniels)
Interesting suggestion... I've actually read
Alabama Spammer and thought, " Sounds rather familiar..."

@Minerva - you should know that tea is our national drink!
though that is boring. A good pint of bitter, personally I like the fruity ones - not the creamy pints
Also - do not overlook our revered Newcastle Brown ale - and what a generous size bottle too...if you try this, remember there is the street cred way of drinking it
Oh!! and if you want Cobra - just hit the curry house at the end of the night....most curry houses sell eastern beers...our local sells Cobra!
Of course, we'll have Newcastle Brown Ale!

There are also some nice local cider in this area. It would be nice if we can reach Indian take away for Cobra, or Chinese for Lao-chu (sp?).
@der Moench: I love German beer. They are great! Also, I actually love good quality Riesling.
@Bloodstalker: Wild Turkey! How could we forget...
