Got beer?
From Leuven, the City of Beer, this was Silencer, NMA News.
Leuven ain't the city of beer, dude.
Plus: this so-called beer contains like 1% alcohol or something. They used to serve it to schoolchildren in the old days. It's true what they say, though: it's definitely healthier than all that Coca-Cola crap, but it tastes just as bad really (the taste is pretty sweet). Water is even healthier, though.

belgian beer = good, mkay? i wish they served beer when i was at school... i wouldn't have had to sneak out all the time to go to the nearest pub. (would've been healthier for my wallet as well)
as for your source... 'The Latest News' (aka Het Laatste Nieuws) is a newspaper (if you can even call that rag that) i wouldnt even put in my cats litterbox... fucking moronic shite 24/7.

Well, it's a Dutch newspaper, and while it's the lowest quality newspaper of the Netherlands, it's more respectable than that piece of shit "Het Laatste Nieuws". Still a crappy, crappy newspaper, with lots of gossip.Silencer said:

one Stella Artois factory does not one beer city make.
seriously man...
1) it's belgium. it's the fucking LAND of beer.
2) every goddamn city has at least 5 distinct beers they brew... every goddamn city in belgium calls itself the city of beer...
3) Google has betrayed you! try googling city of beer, you'll get brussels for instance. it's all BS.
No age limit? Eh? That's news.Pajari said:
The age limit's 16 in Belgium, not non-existant.

I'd probably end up choosing the chocolate milk. Even assuming that the beer actually tastes good (I am, after all, an ignorant American when it comes to finer Belgian culture) there's a philosophical issue I have with drinking a normally alcoholic beverage without getting buzzed.
I mean, you guys started drinking beer because you had no alternatives. Why would somebody want to give it to schoolchildren?

Beer
Studies show that beer has immense salutary potential when applied to children, that is not to say that it has no morals lacking however. As said already it is of lower sugar amounts than nasty cooperate soft drinks and thus the children will be less fat.

How would it be more immoral to give children alcohol-free beer than alcohol-free soft drinks? The extremely small percentage of alcohol in 'alcohol-free beer' won't make them drunk, so it doesn't count. At least where I live, there's no age limit for beer up to 2,25% in alcohol strength. You'd probably die before you'd get drunk or even mildly intoxicated on that kind of beer.

I need to get a filter on my tap water. When I finally quit drinking soda altogether I felt much better... Except about the massive amount of bottled water I drink instead.

Well, you don't need to be 16 to drink table beer, the kind they propose to serve to schoolchildren.
My grandmother always served table beer when we (my sister and I) visited. In fact, when I was a small boy, I remember that those bottles were sometimes decorated with Smurfs and when you bought a certain amount of bottles of table beer, you got a glass (decorated with Smurfs as well) for free. And we all know that Smurfs appeal to small children.
Sander, while the limit for real booze lies at 16, no one except bars give a shit.
a ten year old can walk into a supermarket & buy a crate of beer if he feels like it. in the odd possibility that someone actually might ask why he's buying beer, he can say "dad asked me to get it" and no one will think anything less of it.
and also Luke, table beer is not alcohol-free beer. it's just a lighter beer, thats suitable to drink with about every meal. it has existed for centuries before any lardass thought up the concept of alcohol-free beer...

Eh, so? I never talked about the way in which it was implemented, although I'm very certain that the authorities do give a shit about it (bar owners obviously don't, since it just means more money for them).SuAside said:
Also, Richoid, untrue. Table beer is pretty well-known in Belgium, and it's not going to be announced as 'beer you can get drunk on', since you pretty much can't.

always looking for water.
I think the underlying issue is that its possibly more unhealthy to drink caffeinated beverages than alcoholic ones with barely any alcohol content.
I do agree that some people are addicted to caffeine to the point where they dont know it and its very unhealthy. Plenty of people drink more than one coffee a day and thats bad.
I remember how hard it was to go from two sodas a day to one. I kept craving it so much I had trouble believing I only drank it for the flavor.

Then we shouldn't give them chocolate cigarettes anymore either - because it might serve as a placebo and give them lung cancer!
