Strangely, I occasionally get a taste for Old Style. Of all the craptacular
mass-market beers out there, I find it to be rather tasty at times. Of
course, this is one of my habits that horrifies my girlfriend to no end
(she's more of a beer snob than I am).

I've never tried rats piss, so I'm not as qualified to judge, but I take
them in much the same was as Old Style, PC, or Windows: maybe not the Real
Thing, but occastionally enjoyable  (NOTE: this is not an invitation to
dredge up *that* thread again).

I'm a fan of:

 Young's Double Chocolate Stout
(http://www.youngs.co.uk/htmldocs/products/products.asp?SelectedID=12)

Boddingtons (http://www.boddingtons.com/)

And my new favorite, La Fin Du Monde
(http://www.unibroue.com/products/fin.cfm)

I havn't yet had the pleasure of getting into Scotch. Perhaps some pointers
anyone?

And I can quit whenever I want.
