Don't try this

[Chanfan]

At first blush, the beer cocktails popular in France disgusted me. I gave them a try, though, and now I'm particularly fond of the demi-p?™che.

Panach?©: beer and French-style lemonade
Demi-p?™che: beer with a shot of peach syrup
Monaco: beer, French lemonade, and grenadine syrup

I recall in German class, the teacher talking about a white beer "mit suss", that is, with sweet fruit syrup. Sounds like what you are talking about?

I know I quite enjoy Fruit Lambics, a Belgian fruit beer, although I just read that the brand largely available here (Liefmans) isn't a true Lambic. Ah well, there's always more to drink in the world!

Story!

Story?Oh there are a million of them..All I can say of my many trysts with Tequila, is that it never goeth well..I normally do not exhibit any real shocking behavior when under the influence of my favourite libation..in fact i can drink quite deeply and i simply become a happier and less inhibited form of my amiable self.

tequila, that evil elixir, does something sinister to my brain.I do things( and sadly, remember them vividly the next day)and say things that i would never do in my right mind. Now, i don't just mean dancing on tables and such...I mean things like, oh..i don't know...kissing my boss...indiscriminately blurting out secrets in public washrooms(things i have kept tight lipped about for a decade)..my last memory of myself under the influence of this diabolic brew?... i raised a glass and toasted debauchery

Weissbier (aka wheat beer) is good with raspberry syrup. I like it best with just a wedge of lemon.

Whats the english name for that flower: Its violet, called fiol/viol in scandinavian languages, nice smell much used in soap. Anyway, the french make a liquor out of it. Don't try it. It tastes like soap smells, like drinking a perfume smell. Not exactly bad tasting, just a bit to surreal for a night cap!

sheltered upbringing!

Well my idea of mixing drinks is having a Beamish after a Guiness! These sorry tales only re-enforce my personal maxim. The liver is evil and must be punished!

Or in most of these cases substitute the word Stomach for liver!

I ate Guinness flavoured Ice Cream last summer...I asked the guy at the counter what it tasted like-he said Guinness-so I ordered some...funny, I notice it's not on the menu this year.[huh]

I saw a piece on TV recently where a bar on Smith St in Brooklyn makes Guinness milkshakes. Sounds gross, but the TV guy took a swallow and pronounced it delicious. Go figure.
My "favorite" disgusting memory has to do with washing down birthday cake with beer. Yecccchhh.

Apparently you're not the only one. I wake up to country music on my clock radio,...makes it so I have to get up to turn the inane gibberish off. Anyway, a few weeks ago the song that woke me up was:
"I don't know what they put in Tequila that makes me,..."
I did not hear the rest as I had to turn it off and get up, but I can imagine. lol

This thread reminds of why it is that I stick to beer.

1. Single malt Scotch right after brushing your teeth with toothpaste FOR the date for which you had busted out the single malt.
If you have to brush your teeth right before a drink, only drink cold vodka after.

2. One pint Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream with a pint of Guinness or other stout on the side and a pint of coffee and a freshly rolled cigarette. You will be in the bathroom for 45 minutes.

...when your friend tries to take the bottle of Goldschl?§ger away from you, let her. Otherwise you will end up drinking the entire contents of the bottle and be violently ill for the remainder of the night.

Oh, and also? Don't let those who don't know the ingredients make Jello Shots...you will forever hate Jello because someone forgot to add the water. :eusa_doh:

It's called Violet And yeah, I've seen that liquor, I can't even stand the smell of violet so I've never tried it.

I'm not 21 so I really can't drink alcohol but

- Orange juice and milk (not such a breakfast of champions)

- Drinking orang juice between 1 minute and 12 hours after brushing your teeth.

- Warm, flat Mountain Dew. For some reason MD, over all other sodas, gets really hard to drink when it's flat and warm

Not sure why, but when we were kids we used to make unsweetened lime (I think...it was green, anyway) kool aid with salt instead of sugar and vinegar instead of water. I think the object was to see who could keep it down the longest. Nasty, I tell you. And all that salt. No wonder I've got high blood pressure today!

Drink it down. I'll collect the gold flakes from the empty bottle.
Maybe that's why they let you drink it. [huh] :eusa_doh:

I used to do that, until I noticed the beer was sticking to me.

 

[MikeBravo]

I used to think I had been adventurous in my drinking, but now I realise I'm just a baby.

Black and Tan is a mix of half draught beer and half Guinness ... not bad at all

Another one we had on a regular basis is a SCAB, stands for Stones, Coke and beer. It's a mix of equal parts of Stones Ginger Beer, coke and beer. Give me a black and tan any time

lol :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Thank You, Olive Bleu. You make it sound so Classy!

I'd share stories if I had any, but rarely drink, and never get Really drunk enough to do anything more entertaining than what I do already when sober.

Now Being in a roomful of drunk friends, That's cheap, easy entertainment. It can be as simple as an instrumental hip-hop CD, a karaoke machine, and an old Freddy Kreuger mask... (Yes, this is on topic: DON'T TRY THIS: )

(if that's me sober, I figure, the world doesn't need to see me me drunk)

Beam's Choice mizes well with Coke, but DO NOT try mixing with RC Cola. Tastes like mold. Waste of good bourbon.

And if you ever read Cannery Row and contemplated Doc's beer milk shake...just in case you every get REAL bored and wonder what a Pepperoni milk shake would taste like....

Don't. Just don't. Leave it at that.

a radler...

Here's one you'd think you shouldn't try, but in fact it's quite good.


Chileans love a concoction they call FANSCHOPP. The "schopp" part is, I believe, the German word for "beer on tap." The "fan" part stands for "Fanta," a brand of orange soda. Fanta is popular in Chile.


Anyway, fanschopp is a half & half mixture of blonde beer and orange soda. Served everywhere there, even in diners and bars. Sounds perfectly awful, yes? I refused to try it for my first three years in Chile. When I finally did, the pleasant taste was a big surprise. It actually works.

.

In Bavaria, we had "radlers" on really hot days...they were 1/2 beer and 1/2 carbonated lemonade (tart, not sweet like orange soda)...surprisingly good on a 95 degree day

That's what that squishy stuff in my mid-section is!
