I think you're fairly safe there mate.
Guinness is just over 4%, and Budweiser has no alcohol whatsoever, along with no taste.
I've no idea what the fuck Dragon Soop is.
My advice would be to replace the Budweiser with the Guinness.

I thought for an awful moment you'd taken the pledge,Fetters.
People make light of it but the percentage of the population whohave "drinking" as one of their hobbies is worrying.
Its not just raving alkies who are dependent on drink. There are thousands and thousands of 'nonalkies' who have to have a drink every evening "just to wind down" or have to get pissed every weekend, without fail, because they can't enjoy themselves or relax without getting booze in their system.
If you would have a big hole in your life and genuinely "miss" booze if someone told you that you couldn't have it for six months then you like it too much IMO.
Put it this way, if I told someone that I have four bottles of irn bru some nights and then get a load of it down my neck at weekends they'd want me sectioned for being a fucking weirdo. Yet say the same about cider, wine or Guinness and most would not view it as dependency.

I am alcohol dependent, but it doesn't bother me unduly.
Some folk are addicted to cigarettes, or chocolate, or crystal meth - addiction is often a coping mechanism for folk who need an escape from the past, or the present, or the future.
Alcohol is indeed a dangerous killer drug - far more so than the illegal ones, but our society has weirdly decreed that the two biggest killers are socially acceptable and available virtually everywhere.
People will always drink to wind down because alcohol is a depressant that acts upon the brain as a rather poor pain killer, and it is cheap.
Prohibition wouldn't work - America under the Volstead Act bears testament to that.
Maybe I do have a hole in my life.
I suppose it's preferable to the ones I used to have in my arms.

Their called Alkies as well mate, they just haven't accepted it.
It takes a big person to admit they are reliant on alcohol as most are in denial about it.
I can take or leave alcohol, in fact my intake for 2013 was probably what some people drink in a month. But each to their own i guess as long as everyone is happy.

I'm dependant on alcohol, just recently I have been afflicted by acid reflux and could not drink without severe acid for a week, I now have some amazing strength, prescription Antacid pills so Im back on ait again. The only side effect is that I shit myself every now and then and Im not talking skidmarks here either... Order has been restored as far as im concerned, if im out and Pete Collins decides to ride his bike in my skiddies, I just go and drink in the rags pubs, they are used to such smells emanating from one another so its only mrs death that protests as she rubs Pernod around her nostrils.
