when i was a kid growing up in north east england we used to play with throwing flights? these were made from thin straight branches from trees. we used to split one end about 3 inches and add flights made from cigarette packets or something similar, then we bound around the bottom of the split to stop the flights going further down and then put a notch in the wood three quarters way up and tie a string round as a sling and throw them they went like an arrow through the air at great distances it was great fun.

I think you're kidding me. It sounds like fun, but what's a "flight"? Flights, to me, are groups of about 6 beers - they may be all the same style, but made by different brewers, or they may be 6 different styles, from light to dark. Of course, that doesn't mean they would be low in alcohol to high in alcohol, because some golden beers are much higher in ABV% than many of the dark ones.

When I read your post, I laughed because I thought you meant you were tossing little beers down your throat. LOL!
