Disagree with alcohol.

Once I bought about 20 frozen chicken 'portions' for £4 and as you can imagine I ate about one portion then binned it. The chickens were literally about 50% bone/bristle, 10% skin, 20% fat and 20% chicken, was disgusting.

yeah because all i wanna do is get drunk right

you gotta remember i'm an old man and dont really drink to party down unless the festivities necessitate it. the intoxicating factor is usually the least enjoyable part of any crafted alcohol product. anyone who prefers decent well crafted beers would rightly scratch their head at this phrase - 'ethanol is ethanol'

paging esfandyar, where are you buddy

wine, however, i agree... it's pretty standard all around on the 'meh' scale, one really doesn't stand out against another for me, regardless of grape

i definitely agree. you just said "alcohol" so to me it sounded like alcohol for the sake of getting drunk
