Saying that, a lot of canned beer is not giving me much of a hit these days which is rather worrying. My craving for spirits which I generally cannot afford ATM is overriding my senses and I do pride myself on being able to consume lots of alcohol without it affecting any day to day aspects of my life but spirits are a different thing entirely.
