I've not really tired alot of mead will have to remember next time I'm in cornwall. Coincidently the only time I remember having it was at a pagan ritual in a ruin in cornwall

Not quite sure i would do it at a ritual in a ruin. Id rather be ruined by it listening to heavy rock music. Suited my LARP character well though. Pitty i drink it before it gets to LARP.

i live in Belgium, which is west of Germany, north of France and east of the UK so we have some good alcohols (beer from the Netherlands though globally known is TERRIBLE, don't waste your money on it). many different kinds of beer here, some are very good, most no outsiders will have ever heard of. Kasteelbier is one of my favourites, it comes in brown and blonde versions (i guess in english that would be dark and light?), as well as a rouge version too which is with cherries and surprisingly good. some good lagers are Cristal from my province, Stella and Leffe (there's also Leffe 9, for 9%, an ale version). Duvel is also mighty good, a brown ale. West-Vleteren is considered our best beer and best kept secret, there's a limited supply and pretty expensive as it's still brewed by monks using traditional methods, you have to reserve it months ahead. the wine is also quite good if you order it in decent restaurants, but my wine knowledge pales in comparison to my beer knowledge.:p

my area is also famous for its gin, not a big fan of it but it's fun once in a while. my father in law makes his own with lemons. there's a yearly festival here kind of like oktoberfest where it comes in all flavours you can imagine (cactus ftw) and there's a fountain statue called the Gin Man that starts pouring gin instead of water 24/7 until the festival is over. they had a new flavour this year with violets (the flower) which i loved but can't find it anywhere anymore.

the irish pub i frequent (The Hedgehog) makes something called deadly medicine, not sure what's in it but i like it, though many people don't hence the name i guess. it's at least a few different varieties of Guinness with a raw egg and some kind of liquor added.:p

also like me some baileys for sipping, mojitos and blue lagoons for cocktails, and sambuca and tequila for partying.:p

I'm taking chemo atm.

What good bears are out there for me?

I've tasted hard liquor for too long. I also bought a six pack of angry orchard. It was okay, didn't really finish it due too nausea.

Well I am Danish and oddly not really fond of beer. Most know of Carlsberg and Tuborg - enough said

However what I really like is a hotshot which is best if you make it yourself. 1 bottle of vodka mix with 1-1½ bag of the candy, Turkish Pepper and preferable a roll of Salmiakki (also a type of candy) - leave it for a week at least.
Voila you got Litte Greys /Små Grå. Yummy... Oh well - dark rum isnt half bad either.

Here is relevant picture of me drinking scrumpy in suitable scrumpy-drinking attire:

Why did God gave you a shoulder and middlefinger ?!? To drink Cider

Heh I remember putting skittles (coloured sweets) in vodka when I was a fresher, didn't realise it was a more proper thing. will have to do it again sometime but we don't have those sorts of sweets you mentioned, they sound wierd.

I concur that dark rum is pretty good. but white rum is the goddam worst.

I am blessed with this place a few blocks away, i do not go as often as I used to (or would like). But its nice to have one of many such places close by within the city.

If nausea is an issue, probably better to stay away from any alcohol. If I may be so bold, get to a location where you can get marijuana legally. It's a shame that the best nausea cure is illegal for the most cockamamie of reasons.
