Are people really that desperate in the US to have something that attempts to bear a vague resemblance to cider?! I'm beginning to reconsider my move if I can't get a 4-pint container of proper natural cider, straight from the barrel, for a fiver, get nicely plastered on it, and have no ill effects the next day! (Joking - I'd rather move and go without than succumb to fizzy chemicals)

Sorry if that sounds harsh - I'm joking. Everybody's taste is different! :p

Not just in the cut but the way it's crucified too. Again, something to avoid unless there is a good alternative.

Such as the plastic containers cider comes in.

Maybe it's a South Wales thing...me and the girls used to head down the pub for a Bo and Black - Strongbow and Blackcurrant Juice - on occasion...usually at the start of legendary night on the tiles.

Makes me sound live a right chav!
