I was only talking to an Aussie exile about this the other day. Would seem ideal for the current Irish soft cock/more clean living society we have here now. Would work really well on a fairly long session which none of us are able for anymore.
Will it be the next big thing here after Guinness zero and the likes

Yeah, it makes sense, think jts popular in NZ too

Its been there for ages though but like the flat white and the magic we are behind

I think more people would go out if that was an option

Surely the big brewers here did market reaearch and decided not to go for it

I googled that yesterday, smithwicks is 3.8% so peobably a bit over the mod strenghth classification

Master brewer @Mac got it completely.wrong when he went for craft beer with a high %

The driverless cars are going to be a huge boon for the alcohol industry and country pubs anyway though

Been saying this for years! You’ll probably have to have someone sober behind the wheel of them for a long time after they come in, but at some stage they’ll be picking up and dropping people home from rural pubs.

Surely for driverless cars to work, all cars will have to be driverless.

If AI is praising Hitler and even calling itself Hitler, I wouldn’t be very confident in AI’s ability to navigate roads filled with idiot human drivers.

Then you might also have AI cars which differ in terms of temperament and driving ability based the amount of money you’re willing to pay.

You might have the Mercedes Professor, a very expensive and intelligent AI model which drives like Alain Prost - fast and safe.

But then you might have the Honda Joyrider - a souped up model which is fast but unsafe. You take your chances.

Then at the lower end, you might have the Dacia Nervous Nuala - slow, tries to be safe and doesn’t take risks, because it’s so underpowered, is inherently dangerous.

Surely jetpacks will obviate the need for sobriety?

Good point. I hadn’t thought of that.
