Watching NASCAR, or even being there in person, is roughly tolerable, but not drinking Bud or its equivalent!
No comparison between a good local brew like Fort Collins' Odell's 90 Shilling or Easy Street Wheat and piss-ass swill like Bud (which has a giant plant in Fort Collins).
But you Brits are weenies when it comes to beer. Even stuff like your 5.4% whatever (good as it is in other ways) is wimpy by comparison.
