Ask your bartender to make you The Three Wise Men.

Call a cab first....and possibly update your will.

Never heard of it, althought the beer + Red Bull comment seems pretty on the mark. I have no desire to waste perfectly good beer (or Red Bull, for that matter) trying it out though.

So, out of the "yes" and the "no", which one applies to my actual comment, and which applies to the imaginary one?
 

---

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
 
Well, supposing your comment to be a complex vector for a moment, the imaginary component would likely be the part where you said I would have said something similar a couple years ago. I don't recall ever thinking alcohol was evil, much less seriously saying so. So that would be the "no". The "yes", though, would indicate that I am indeed aware of the irony of the concept, if not of the specifics.

I should have pegged to this earlier, but this comment too is 100% viral advertisement.

I guess I can't link to the Google search because one of the search terms is "B(E)?" That's nutty. But run the first sentence or two through yourself and look at all the hits.

I was in a public house the other day, and they were advertising this crazy mixture of Red Bull (actually the slightly cheaper Red Square) and larger. It was called "Red Square Larger" I believe, and had the advertising line: "It shouldn't work, but it does". I admire them for their optimism.

It's a sort-of cranbery flavoured drink with a lot of caffeine in it. I've never actually tried it. When you suffer from insomnia so chronic that a cup of filter coffee drunk at 0830 in the morning keeps you awake at night, you tend to avoid caffeine like the plague.

I've tried it once to see if wings would grow out of my bum... but they didn't. And it was a disgusting drink. I forced myself to finish it because they charge some ungodly amount for it and I figured if I downed the entire can, maybe I'd get those wings.

There was some form of caffinated beer at the store today, and my friend bought a can to try it, and it was awful. Or, like, it was weird. I had a bit. It seemed to combine the worst of both worlds: a syrupy flavor with a beery aftertaste.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
 
Red Bull is pretty much pitched as being "legal speed". At least, it is in my mind. About as much caffine as they can get away with (in some countries...it's illegal in France, for instance), along with taurine. And stuff. Quite popular as a nice (if expensive) vodka mixer.

I can't really see it working with larger though. I can drink sweet flavoured alchopops till the cows come home (stuff like Smirnoff Ice, WKDs (although I have to mix them up. And not the blue ones, they make me ill)), but beer doesn't tend to mix well with, well, anything.

I might try and use someone as a guinea pig though. And afterwards I'll get them to buy some Red Bull Beer. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAirockHAHAHAHA.

That's a rather sweeping statement. And one that's demonstrably untrue. I think Liam's hiding something. What could it be? The appalling revelation that, despite his reputation as TEH PARTAY AMINAL!!, he really would sooner have a nice glass of lager shandy, perhaps?

Actually, I forgot that I do like Snakebite & black.

I was dragged to Ireland last week with my family. I had to drink heavily on Wednesday, really heavily on Thursday (for obvious reasons), quite heavily on Friday, and on Saturday I got a plane home, arrive back in Liverpool at half 10 in the evening, and then went straight out. I am a legend. Who drinks mans drinks.

Of course, in Liam-Speak, "drinking heavily" is code for he finished the whole glass!

Here's the skinny:
I've been pretty remiss in visiting them and my Mom announced that "we're going down there to visit you!".

My initial response was "Uh uh...no way." but I eventually relented when they said they were staying in a hotel.

A few days went by and I kinda felt guilty (my new place has two bedrooms and all) so I called to say my sister could say here and save the dough of ahotel room.
No sooner did I say that she could stay, it became (somehow) the greatest insult to my Mother that SHE had to stay in a hotel....

So they're both here.


It's not that I dont miss them when they're gone, it's just that they bring out the very worst in me.
I have zero paitence for things that I'd let slide in anyone else.
It's really not like me and that's aggrivating!

In particular: My Mom smokes- even though she has enphishema, bronchitis and asthma (yeah, my spelling sucks but I'm rushing)....yet, she still has smoked five ciggerettes since arriving at 2PM. Then she complains about being so sick!

My sister just talks as fast as the guy from those old Micromachines comercials and is hard to understand because she sorta mumbles.

These are not traits I share in any way whatsoever.

I had to laugh at dinner though- I realised that it would be a very funny sit-com if my life were on TV.

(sigh)
Unfortunately, that "drink idea" is just a metaphor- my meds prevent me from imbibing.

...I do have some Percocets though....hmmmmm

So, I'm guessing that, far from spelling it correctly, you don't even know how to say "emphysema".

And, more forgivably, it's "cigarette". As in "cigar" + "-ette".

Anyway, the lesson here is: never let yourself feel guilty.

Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
 
Well, see, I've only ever had Canadian and US beer. I've never had anything from Europe, so there may yet be a beer I like.
 

---

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
 
Not European, but Fat Tire is one of my favorites. Alaskan Amber isn't too bad either, if memory serves, but I haven't had one in awhile. Though I am interested to learn that it is partially made from hops from my own backyard, so to speak. And, OK, as for Old Man Europe, the obligatory mention of Guinness, which I sort of figured would not agree with me, but turns out to be quite good indeed. I'm rather surprised I like beer at all, since it took me awhile to get a taste for it, but I do. For cocktails I enjoy the occasional White Russian.

Now, aside from Guinness these are West Coast beers, in one case specifically a Pacific Northwest beer, but there are probably local equivalents that aren't bad.

I should note that I've never had Guinness on tap.

(Also, that I enjoy chances to show off that I am a real adult, even though I am not at all, and I never go out.)

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
 
Oh, and that, despite all this connoisseur talk, beer is basically beer, except for wheat beer. What's up with that stuff? So I'm not sure there is one you'll like, if you just don't like beer.
 

---

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
 
I can't drink Guinness at all. Reminds me of coffee, which I also don't like. My friends who do though say that it actually is much, much nicer in Ireland than it is over here. I presume they are more strict about the quality, since it's roughly 65% of their tourist trade.

I refuse to believe that anyone liked beer the first time they tried it. It's a taste that grows on you. If Simon, the ultimate "slightly odd one" can like it, anyone can.

Your standards are quite odd if you are harsher on someone mispelling a rarely used word like "wmphysema" than getting the much more common "cigarette" wrong. Odd Tim.

Wheat beer is tremendous, especially Leffe Blond and Hoegaarden (both from Belgium).

The only beer I don't like is ale, most types I've tried have felt like murky dishwater, especially the ones served at room temperature.

Posted by Wraith (Member # 779) on :
 
Infidel!!

Actually, I'm not so keen on Leffe and Hoegaarden. Some ales can be revolting but I find most are ok. Most of the stuff brewed by Adnams, Milton and Greene King is nice, as are many local beers. Nethergate brewery products should, however, be avoided at all costs.

I don't blame anyone who's only tasted American beer for not liking it. I can't say I found any of them especially nice when I was over there.

Greek Mythos beer is surprisingly nice: better than ouzo at any rate.

My friends have introduced me to a lot of different beers this past year. Unfortunately, the only two that I have liked have been a German wheat beer (the name of which I can't remember) and Lambic (a series of fruit-flavored beers from Belgium). I have been told, though, that if I like Lambic then I would like Fat Tire. I've never tried it, though. Also, I should mention that I can stomach Bud Light, but I'm not a fan of it.

Well, the point was that what he typed for "cigarette" would at least be pronounced the same. But, if he's been going around pronouncing "emphysema" like "enphishema", he's been sounding pretty silly.
