    I dunno something about when in the army circa 70's everyone drank VB, done so ever since with the occasional foray into the 'exotics' ie Stella, Becks et al. Yes, I do get the piss taken outa me by the lads (the thrusters) for drinking VB.

    VB was still the grog of choice right up till the early 90's. I remember paying 85 cents a stubby at 1/19's boozer one night. I ended up crawling across Campbelltown rd in the wee hours back to 2 Trg. Gp.
