I know you're new here Prostatus... but if you search you'll find plenty of discussions on each of the various threads you've started. Why don't you consider slowing down and getting to know us before taking over the board?
I am afraid that in the UK and certainly at my club drinking beer on the course is unnaceptable behaviour and would result in suspension from the club.
The nearest we have might be the carrying of a gentlemans hip flask containing some type of gentlemans tot (whiskey etc) for " medicinal purposes".
Budweiser or Labatt Blue - but it MUST BE ICE COLD. Warm beer - just... eeeew.

The problem isn't the temperature it's the chosen brew... You can't do anything but "eeeew" with that crap. Life is too short to poison yourself with beer like that, trust me.

You guys can phuck in a park but you can't drink a beer on a golf course? WTH!!!!????

No no no no no..... I can't stand those microbrews or dark beers. They punish you too much the day after for drinking them. What I stated are my present-day preferences, but I'm open minded enough to try any brew once. I just prefer something I can drink (a few or... a good many ) that wont sit so heavy in my stomach or require two bottles of mouthwash to rid myself of the aftertaste. I spent my youth experimenting with that stuff (Labatt Maximum Ice was a favorite back in the day - even drank that kangaroo piss they call Foster's down in Oz - and I knew better, but.. beer - WTF), now I'm not as resistant to the after effects as I once was, though I have a crazy high tolerance as a result of all that experimenting. I'm just mellowed and comfortable now.
NO COMPROMISE - IT HAS TO BE COLD.

Bingo. I like Newcastle, Sapporo and black and tans (thats Guiness and Harp or Bass for you amateurs.) ,but on the golf course Miller Lite is the way to go. Not too heavy. Miller Lite is my usual default setting in bars as well. It's about quantity.
Beer stopped being about quantity when I became legal....
I've never found beer to be all that heavy myself. I guess if I wanted something that lacked flavor I'd just go with water.
Those high viscosity beers (that do taste better) get me full before they get me buzzed. I guess if I wanted calories with no buzz I'd just go with doughnuts.

Redhook for me with Sam Adams as a back-up.
Hey Edgey, since we're on the subject what's the deal with beer being warm over there and why don't they have ice in the UK?

You see this is one of the great differences between two nations with a common languages and heritage.
We have a number of beers that are served at room temp i.e not chilled.
These are mild and bitter beer and scrumpy cider
We only chill lager, Guiness and some types of cider
Over here i am afraid that Bud etc is virtually unheard of. I think all of our beers are far stronger than Bud etc.
I am afraid drinking on a golf course is frowned upon, other than via a hip flask whch must contain a spirit (usually whiskey or brandy) to keep you "warm" in the winter.
Beer/Guiness/Spirits is the refuge of the mature drinker, lager is for kids

All logical and defensible. But why can't I get a f-ckin ice cube in England? If they don't know how to make ice over there, I can send them the recipe.

Yes well you see Edgey that is where we differ somewhat. During the time that I resided in London I preferred Beer/Guiness in those freezing cold,dark and dim days of winter and reverted to being a lager lout in the sunny warm months of spring and summer.
Still found it hard to get used to drinking the stuff (real ale) at room temperature though and usually preferred Guiness for that very reason. The only problem with Guiness was that it varied so much in quality depending where you were drinking it. Served correctly it was had a rich creamy consistency and a creamy frothy head. Fabulous! Prepared poorly and you might as well have been drinking diet coke. As one of my Irish buddies once commented "Really tin with no consistency!"

Got to say i have never had a problem getting an ice cube in any pub around me. In fatcit is offered by the bar staff every time.

Welcome to the fold either way.
Why would I want to get to know a bunch of guys who always turn a pretty reasonable thread into a trash talking fiasco. It is okay to have some sarcasm but you guys go way overboard sometimes, and its a bit childish if you ask me. I think all my threads have caused some good and credible conversation amongst the masses and is what a golf forum should be about. No golfer that I know and play with would even think about saying what most of you fellas type. But then again this is the internet and people do get a bit more courage to say what they feel. And really wouldn't say the things they say on here in person. I noticed some of the senior members put people down in a comical way which I find very amusing, and funny at times, and thats very fine with me. But some of the others tend to get a bit out of hand ,and seem to take a few thing the wrong way. All I can say is that some of you fellas should learn a little GOLF FORUM ETIQUETTE, and take it down just a notch, so it can be fun for everyone
never on the course.... only the one time HB forced me to partake of MILLER LITE have i indulged in alcohol on the course. the cold only affects the vagina so if you dont have one you dont need spirits to warm it.
Off the course i will have New castle.

Good morning all you fine gentleman at Golf Review!
And to get back to the topic (keeping with proper forum decorum), drinking heavy beers is fine and dandy off the course. I love me some good Smithwicks or Bass, but if you are drinking it on the course, you have either one of the following serious problems...
1.) You're not committed to drinking. Full calorie beers fill you up, limiting your intake.
2.) Your drinking commitment is strong, but full calorie beers DON'T fill you up. You obviously have a drinking problem in this case.

I prefer to two BEST brands world wide!
They can be found at any pub or bar in the world. Most golf courses serve theses brands as well. Pretty much any establishment that sells beer sells these brand

If I'm with respectable golfers, I will enjoy a cold Sierra-Nevada. If I am with my buddies (NOT respectable golfers) we will drink one Miller Lite per hole. By the 7th hole, I can hit my putter 300 yards, or at least I think I can.

Becks, Stella, Pete's Wicked Ale, Sam Adams, Blue Moon, Carlsberg, New Castle, Magic Hat, Hobgoblin English Dark Ale, Brooklyn Brown Ale, Eli's Brown Ale Avery, etc......pretty much anything but weak watered down p1ss like Bud or Miller and most domestics............
I can guess by your comments that you're access to quality beer is limited. Try a nice scotch ale at 7-10% alcohol. You won't be full before your drunk. Probably hard to find in most states but we are quite spoiled here in Oregon - especially Portland.
Personally don't drink beer much on the course. Mostly because I play early in the morning most of the time. Also it's hard to carry enough to make it worth my while and I'm not going to pay $4 for cheap beer.
Nothing wrong with a little whiskey. Prefer bourbon but I'm not too particular. Neat is fine if the quality is good. Maybe a very small splash or water to open it up but rocks in good whiskey is a crime.
I prefer to drink my Flask of Johnny Walker Blue Label, its easier to conceal and less filling . And offers a way better buzz than say 5 beers and 25 bucks. Plus that cart girl picks some lame azz places to serve up her tight shorts and expensive beer. Ithink the tee box is better than the middle of the fairway or cart path half way between holes

Poe4soul may be right in giving you a doubtful out... but you're way off base IMO.
1. I can't comment on my commitment to drinking as I've never thought of it in those terms. I DO, however, have a commitment to quality. I could care less about the calorie content of my beer. I'm fit and able to quaff a few beers a side (5%-10% beers) without it impacting my game enough to worry about it. A few times I've started too aggressively or the beer hits me quicker than expected (I tend to get cocky if playing well and imbibe more to give my friend a chance... maybe subconsciously?). I would rather drink water than a Coors, bud or miller. Life is too short and I'm well off enough where I don't need to drink that crap.
2. I think I'd be able to identify if I had a drinking problem. I don't have one. If I did have one I'd freely admit it. It wouldn't matter in this audience anyway.
I haven't had a light beer since someone gave me a Coors Light about 10 years ago. I drank it because it was bought for me by a friend and it would've been rude to spit it out. I think I secretly tossed the last 3rd of it.
To me nothing screams alcoholic like cheap domestic beers where the only reason I can see someone downing them is for a cheap drunk. Maybe the headache should tell you how bad the poison is?
The only "doubtful out" I gave them is they are ignorant and don't have access to quality beer. We are a bit spoiled in the NW.
I'll drink a pilsner or a good ale when it's hot (both not filling) but not some POS mass quantity beer (miller, bud, corona, fosters, etc.).
Even Guiness is not the best stout around Portland. It's mass quantity average beer. Drinkable but not something I would put down on a list. In fact listing the good beers in the NW would mean next to nothing to our GR friends on the east coast or around the world.
Calling miller beer is about the same as calling folgers coffee, malboro's tobacco, or MD 20/20 wine. They're all what cheap, got to get a fix, users buy. Nothing to do with quality, only quantity. Nothing. I'd rather drink water than have a miller.
The reason you have to serve these POS beers ice cold is that if you actually tasted them you would want to spit the foul beer out.

I can agree with you Poe the NW has some of the best beer and micro breweries in the US. I really dont know why the east coast has such sh.ity beer besides Yeunglings on tap. One of my favorites is Hopp outtin IPA , Acme IPA, and Fat Tire brews. I think anything that says Lite beer is just garbage. I have way too much respect for myself than to put nothing but a good quality brew in my belly HOORAH FOR BEER...good beer
Newcastle or two...but no more than two. I had a six pack during a game...a new Panama Canal was almost dug by my irons. Bier is good but not too much "during" a round for me...Too much of one good thing tends to spoil the other.
Pictured below is Gus Riley's Redfoot Brewery. Taking some of the product from here to the golf course is illegal unfortunately...I couldn't get through one of the beirs produced here without my game going south anyway.
