| 1. If it is being advertised as costing a quarter, I'd go with draft |

|
On the other hand, being forced to kill, no Mmmm there.
I vote for beer, every time :-)

| 3. Draught Guinness, Draft Miller |
|
Sadly, I had a professor in college who insisted in pronouncing draught "drot," as in aught. I never had the guts to correct her.

what they'll do to my son when he turns 18.
Besides, I'll bet you'll find better brews on draught than on draft! :beer:

A beer has to be "gezapft". The british pump system is ok for people who like cacoa or tea, but nor for beer drinkers. And Miller, well don't get me started ("A real pilsner"... yeah, sure; next please).
(Don't get me wrong; I have nothing against the occasional Ale, at least not if the next day is free. However stout is just not for me. As for the beer pumps: they're OK if the keg is really fresh, like one or two days open. Most pubs have kegs far older than that.)

Budwieser, Miller, Coors(american fascist brew), and anyone I forgot all suck. Now I like draft (or draught), but only if it's good import or micro brew.
