Guinness drought 😪

[Swanjaxs]

I was in Sainsbury's this afternoon, and they had sold out of Guinness. I got talking to a lady stocking the shelves, and she said they can't get enough in; it's flying off the shelves. Students are buying it due to a trend on TikTok where they "split the G" on the Guinness glass. Pubs are struggling to get Guinness in, too, apparently.

Fooking, young people enjoying themselves, when will this madness end

My normal Guinness routine is to get some cans in for Christmas, not touch them and then end up binge drinking them just before the BBE date.

You're not alone.

I've drunk one can from the twelve I bought for Christmas.

Same here, original plan is January, I'm going to see how long after that I can last without a drink.

I didn’t start until yesterday so was non-compliant 1st to 4th Jan. Breaking habits is key; hurdle #1 is tomorrow, got a work event so will try and manoeuvre myself as designated driver. Hurdle #2 will be Friday night, we like to cook something nice, but it won’t be the same with a lime and soda in hand.

It’s horrible stuff anyway. People always used to tell me “oh it’s different when you drink it in Ireland, you get the proper stuff”. Went to Dublin, Shannon and a few other places there. Still shite.
