I know there's a saying about Beer and Wine but I can't remember it...
something along the lines of Beer/Wine before/after Wine/Beer feeling fine/queer??
I do remember "Never mix the Grape with the Grain"

'Beer after wine and you'll feel fine; wine after beer and you'll feel queer.'
Is that the one you were looking for? We have an equivalent in French :'Blanc sur rouge, rien ne bouge; rouge sur blanc, tout fout le camp.' (White on red won't go to your head; red on white and you're out for the night.) |

I guess it depends on the effect you're looking for! The saying says you should only drink Red then White but it's just a saying ;) I don't think anyone in France really pays attention to what they drink first.
We also have another saying that goes "Après la pomme, plus rien à l'homme; après la poire, il faut boire", which, loosely translated, means that one should drink after eating a pear but not after eating an apple. My grandfather says that one after each meal and he never finishes a meal with an apple!

See, I don't really like that sorta beery taste... I prefer mixed drinks. I'll have half a pint in a pint glass tho, just so I can look manly hahaha.
God, I've gone all excited at the thought of drinking, that's not a good sign is it? |
