Sunjester claims the reason one person's beer goes down quicker than the others is micro climes. These obviously move round the table, as different people suffer through the evening.

However, drinking with a friend (in the Bear in Oxford) I proposed Beer Goblins, stealing your beer when you aren't looking.

Gentlemen, and Nobby, I throw this question open to The Mess.

Do my mates empty?

Typed on tablet, and autocorrect missed the apostrophe, and I didn't spot it.

Drink enough, and you need to empty quite urgently, don't you? I'm not a beer man, so have to go on hearsay. (or beersay)

I don't have any friends.

I drink alone.

Quel surprise!

Its probab;ly due to your habit of chewing coats !!

Oh...Thanks a bunch.

My beer goes out of date, due to my hatred of drinking alone!

I meant real people. Not just the voices in my head. 

In our case one new year it was because no one knew the dog was lapping it up from the glass.

I think its beer goblins.

In our house when Mrs Orcs and I have a bottle of wine it works slightly differently. - The glass that contains the most wine belongs to Mrs Orcs.  That is until the glass she is using hold less than mine.  At that point the glass I have been using becomes hers. 

Not quite on topic, but...

Can remember going out with 20p for a 1/2 and making it LAST. £1 on Fri/Sat...3 PINTS! and 5p for the Bandit...win a quid and you were Rollin'!   

Back in the Good ol' Days, a guaranteed way to make sure that YOUR beer did not 'disappear', was to drop a tab end in it!  

Also...to keep your seat and pint when going to 'The Bog'...you would leave a Fag packet on top of the glass. At £10+ a packet, you wouldn't do that now!    

Times change...don't go out much now...but some antisocial  B****r has been dumping empty whisky bottles in my garage! I stay in to catch him but get drowsy and then there is always another one in the buckets. Grrr!

Yes I think that is appropriate.
