Mostly I've always stuck to lager, with the occasional Guinness thrown in, over the years. In the 80's I had a session on Diamond White and, for some reason, went home and threw every piece of furniture that was upstairs, downstairs. No more Cider after that for at least 35 years. Nowadays I like a Peroni or Cobra but have also recently started on the fruity ciders, with no after effect at all. I think for most of us it depends on where your head is in life that will determine how a drink affects you. I think of myself nowadays as a more level headed and placid person, as opposed to the angry young man I was, so a fruity cider or a 5% lager doesn't bother me nowadays.
