    Stella Artois aka Wife Beater

    Why do they call Stella Artois wife beater?
    Stella Artois used to market itself under the slogan "reassuringly expensive" but became popularly known in Britain as the "wife beater" beer because of its high alcohol content and perceived connection with aggression and binge drinking.

    Can't see the point in it myself prefer a relaxing mellow drink.

    I did drink Stella on a night out in the 90's and ended up in the cells, so what is the attraction with this gassy beer apart from the indigestion?

    It must be an a admiration for old warriors as they appear to be the ambassadors for the beverage.

    Shalom

    Indeed so. Probably should have added a smilie to indicate the ‘again’ was being used sarcastically.

    Pissed himself, a night in the monkey cells.

    Bet he thinks everyone does it at least once. But we don’t. We really don’t, Joe: it’s just you and your mates.
