Well, if it's a breakfast date, I'd advise against it!

MyBrilliantDisguise · 01/03/2018 11:58

Would you be ordering a pint or half?

WonderWhippet · 01/03/2018 11:58

What thoughts are you expecting us to have?

TellsEveryoneRealFacts · 01/03/2018 11:58

Whose business is it what drink you order?

OfficerVanHalen · 01/03/2018 11:58

A ‘girl’ is a child and You have to be 18 to drink alcohol so i’m against it personally.

WTFIsThisVirus · 01/03/2018 11:58

She wanted a beer

Lol

Thoughts on a woman ordering whatever drink she likes? Why wouldn't she? Hmm

KidLorneRoll · 01/03/2018 11:58

Maybe she likes beer?

LouseHouse · 01/03/2018 11:59

I quite enjoy a breakfast beer Grin

Shoxfordian · 01/03/2018 11:59

Woman drinks beer

I'm shocked Hmm

scampimom · 01/03/2018 11:59

If she's a girl, she's not old enough to order beer ;)

Ducktalesooooh · 01/03/2018 11:59

I didn't realise it was a subject I needed to have an opinion on!

SnibbleAgain · 01/03/2018 11:59

What do you want her to have with her pie?

acquiesce · 01/03/2018 11:59

Why would this even be up for discussion? Unless the girl is pregnant / an alcoholic / the date is at 9 in the morning

A relative was refused service in a pub in the 60s as she wanted a pint of beer.

Fucking stupid fragile masculinity.

Adult requires perfectly legal drink of choice when meeting another adult. Um...not sure what thoughts I'm supposed to have?

Someone quote Al Murray and get it over with.

I'd hope she would go for a real ale instead of crappy lager.

PollyMolly1234 · 01/03/2018 12:02

CAMRA a few years back reported that their fastest growing membership segment was women.

I haven't kept wholly up to date with CAMRA matters I confess but still.

Is the answer, to be pleased?

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 01/03/2018 12:04

A boilermaker would be much classier... By the way, women can drink what they like. HTH.

theknackster · 01/03/2018 12:04

Real ale, stout, lager, weissbier? I really can't give an opinion unless I know the details.
