Well, I'm not much of a drinker and never have been, but on a really hot day or with certain meals where I feel it would be almost sacriligious not to have a beer to accompany it I do endulge.

Since Canadian beers are almost impossible to find in Brazil I haven't had a Labatt's Blue or Molson Canadian in the 12+ years that I've been in Brazil. I was used to drinking US brands back in Canada because I (right or wrong) found them to be a little weaker that the Canadian suds. So I'm quite content with Brazilian beer when I do drink. I drink Brahma because it to me is more like the American brew and weaker than Skol which I just find too strong.

So if you drink beer, what do you prefer and why? Post your replies below.
