Not if you use my Dad's model, and keep a supply of Coors Lite for the guests (including me) while having cases of Budvar in the garage for personal consumption. Old git.

Maybe that's just an Irish thing, or the way I was brought up.[/quote:1r4qk96r]
I feel the same way. Unfortunately, I tend to feel this way in pubs as well, which isn't appropriate...

Well, I would have to draw the line at Coors Lite (the sly dog).

I'd generally agree that it's rude to refuse, but I draw the line at bud, in the same way that I refuse to lower my standards to McDonalds, although I will extremely occasionally stoop to BurgerKing.

So does that mean that he can never share a beer with someone, cos they'd see him getting 500mls of decent beer vs their miserable 330ml of piss? Or does he suffer that too on occasion, to save his Budvar?

Occasionally he'll suffer the Coors, but more often he'll eschew beer altogether and drink spirits in company. I've seen him offer a beer, hand over a Coors, and come back with a tumbler of single malt for himself. Ahh, hospitality.

That reminds me a bit of this joke:

After an international beer conference in London, all the world's top brewery bosses decide to go out for a beer together.

The Chairman of Budweiser says, "I'd like the most refreshing beer in the world, 'The King Of Beers': give me a Budweiser."

The bartender takes a bottle from the shelf and opens it for him.

The Chairman of Carlsberg says, " I would like the world's best beer, drunk in more countries than any other: give me a Carlsberg."

He gets it.

The Chairman of Guiness sits down, looks around and says, "Just give me a Coke."

The bartender looks at him, shrugs, and serves him.

The other brewery bosses laugh loudly and say, "Hey, how come you aren't drinking a Guinness?"

"Listen," he says, "If you pussys aren't drinking, then neither am I"
