   • Haha, the beer was good too I remember, didn't taste like arse, didn't summon the shit demon, didn't get bad hangovers.
     
     Holland wins.

7. • tom.a
   • after 4 days of a diet of insane amounts of beer (both good and bad) , hot dogs and two Mexican meals trust me the hangover has now hit.
     
     agreed though the beer is better lots better and not as gassy either.
     and yeah Holland wins hands down.

      Sorry for being anal, I just love it when people do more effort than is required, apostrophe-wise. Yes it's often pointless pointing it out, often, not always...

      Desperados is excellent drinkage! It's very very easy to drink and very strong so it's quite easy to get shitfaced with it!! We were going to go Roadburn last year but with that and ATP being so close not all of us could afford to make it. We're planning on going to next year's Roadburn and now I know they sell Desperados it'll tick another box off the 'pro' list!!!
