But then we have had the very popular Caffrey's (NOT Boddingtons -- oops) beer recently relaunched with a lower alcohol content -- because, apparently, Englishmen couldn't hack it at its previous strength. A nation hangs its head in shame... Can't say I've ever seen Coors, though. Or maybe I just averted my eyes... Actually, what has displaced ye old traditional English ale more than anything else is the dreaded alcopop -- you know, pretty bottle with a little bit of spirit plus toothrotting, neon-bright candy mixer to appeal to all those pre-teen alcoholics out there. And, of course, Vodka Red Bull. [ Edited by: theandrewssister on 2002-05-21 03:51 ]
