my wife is vegitarian, so i am most of the time. but when i'm not, it's no red meat for me. i just don't want to be involved in the politics of red meat, not to mention that blood taste doesn't do it for me. i can't resist chicken/turkey tho... especially a good shawerma!
as for the beer issue... i pretty much drink hoegaarden, heffeweissen, or black velvets (cider and guiness, poured like a black and tan).
