What are you drinking right now? - Page 31

yes, imo

I like Canada dry Ginger Ale. That and just carbonated water are my two alternatives to Diet Coke in the soft drink department. Ginger beer has a real bite

That's a different animal from ginger ale isn't it?

Ginger beer burns on the way down.

Ginger beer is actually fermented (like beer) but has almost no alcohol. Ginger ale is carbonated water with ginger flavoring. If you get Ginger ale, check the label - some ginger ales (Canada Dry for a while) didn't have any ginger in it (due to public criticism, they now put a token amount of ginger in it - enough to include it in the list of ingredients).

And, yes, ginger beer burns on the way down. Some folks think it helps with digestion (maybe that's why they serve it with sushi).

Burns on the way up, too.

As long as it doesn't burn on the way out...

When I can't keep anything on my stomach, I drink flat ginger ale, and eat saltless saltine crackers.

Works sometimes.

Well, I tried Reed's Extra Ginger Brew. 26 grams of ginger in the 12 oz bottle.

There is a resemblance to something I've tasted before, and, I cannot identify the something it resembles, other than to say it tastes like mouthwash.

The first swallow is good. Refreshingly so. After that first swallow, though, I'm done with it.

I'm glad, too. Costs too damn much for as much as I'd drink if I liked it as well as ginger ale.

I have a cheap and unsophisticated palate, apparently.

7 Fake Movie And TV Drinks That Got Us Drunk In Real Life

You have got to be a "Real" man to drink wake up juice. Once a long, long time ago... I was sitting with friends at the Bob's Big Boy on 17th Street in Santa Ana Ca. And Turkey (not his real name, the names were changed to protect the guilty.) bet me that I couldn't drink a water glass full of Tabasco Sauce with out puking. Since $20.00 was on the line, I was forced by nature to take said bet. Well to make a long story short. I didn't puke, I farted and cleared the restaurant. Our waiter Rudy the Rude said "i'm in the presence of greatness". The Manager was heard to exclaim that he also was in the "presence of greatness" And since these people had just come in nobody was bummed to see them go.
