Reviewing Beer every week until I go back to work
I made this!
I tried making a 'Youtube Thumbnail' for this one but I don't know if I've quite got the hang of it yet. Thanks for the nice words you've given me thus far, and feel free to not give me them any more or else.
Oh, the beer is genuinely SKOL

Cool. Anything else about my appearance and my personality you want to get down in writing? Any other abusers you want to compare me to?

In writing?
Is daddy a top libel lawyer?

So I'm a fat unfunny less hairy Justin Lee Brooker who is only making videos to get free beer. The positives are overwhelming.

Good effort
I'd say try and make it a bit more concise. Honestly, this is down to practise and experience and looking at what you've done and critically asking if you could pace it more effectively.
Your backing music could be better, though I'm afraid I can't think of a suggestion off-hand.
You could shoot different sections from different angles e.g. one from above as you take a drink, one from the side, move the camera around for each section - that'd break things up.
The sound is fine, but you'd be amazed at how getting the sound really good will make it seem a lot more professional. Maybe a lav mic? You'll get a sort of richness and exaggerating your drinking sounds could be a laugh.
If you want to see a masterclass in one-person-to-camera check out Adam Neely (yes, I know, he's a smug muso and he's very annoying but fuck me he's a cracking musician and epic-good at making this stuff)

Another person who makes very entertaining content about drinking stuff is Big Clive.

Can you engage with people? Get questions from viewers or social media? It would help make the film more dynamic AND you'd know you were giving the people what they want.
Anyway, keep at it and good luck, you'll get better the more you do it.

Thank you very much for this input. I think making it tighter and more concise would help a lot with how it flows. So I'll take a critical look at what I could change. The music is just the first music I found so again, I'll have a look. Perhaps not even having music could help?
I actually have a couple of alright mics I could be using, but they seem to pick up more than I want them to in terms of sound.
I'll give the camera angles a go and check out the guys you said to check out. Thank you for the constructive input. It helps a lot.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to sit awkwardly on a bench with Konnie Huq.

Strap a go-pro to the bottom of the glass
give us a pints-eye-view down your gullet as you knock it back. Go on! It'll make compelling telly.
