Jim Beam and Cola stubbies
-
Are these available elsewhere? They are a very new thing at the pub I occaisionaly visit. 2 for $6 means they are almost as much value as beer, plus the fact they are stubbies so it is as socially acceptable as beer, and then there is the fact that you dont have to actually drink something that tastes like beer. How good! Are they anywhere else? -- David Wengier Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k

If we don't our mates will dress us up in a skirt and call us Sheila. As for Jim Beam, that is a whiskey drink here in SA (think it is of American origin) and our bars only serve beer, beer, and more beer, so you don't even get a chance to wuss out on cola (and don't think of drinking the tap water in the toilets, it is beer too.) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

What in the world is a stubbie? P.S. - sounds like a whiskey and coke to me. In the US you can get all kinds of flavored malt drinks, wine cooles, and pre-mixed drinks in a bottle. Is it something like one of those? P.P.S. - Call me Sheila and fit me for a dress. I like wine coolers and mixed drinks, especially 7&7's (Seagrams 7 crown whiskey and 7 up) or long island iced teas (tastes like cola, kicks like a mule)

The reason it isnt socially acceptable has nothing to do with a stigma, it is the price. When my friends have one drink, they have a beer at $2 each. When I have one drink, I have a burboun and coke, and it costs $5. So you see, the idea of "buying a round" doesnt work, because nobody wants to include me, since I jack up the prices. -- David Wengier Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k

I'm getting a bar fitted in my bedroom so that when I am staying at home I don't need to bother to walk to the minibar in the front room anymore. Very handy, especially when you consider I will be getting Coca Cola on-tap, pumped out of a large 10 litre plastic barrel! Can anyone point me to a store that sells intravenous needles... And BTW, I think you got your phrase backwards! ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v. Chiefly British Dave's Code Project Screensaver and Wallpaper page.

Yup UDL's they're called here (that's the brand name) there's also Vodka and Rasberry UDLs and Bourbon & Cola, and a bunch of others I can't remember....

These arent UDLs though, its actual Jim Beam brand, only in bottles not in cans (which was up until now, the only pre-packaged Jim Beam that bottle shops sell) Liam OHagan wrote: here I'm in Melbourne ;P -- David Wengier Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k

What is backward about that? I am saying that I think it is sad that social and peer pressure force us to drink at pubs. If I go to a pub and ask for a coke my mates, and most of everyones mates, would have a laugh and call me a wuss. It is a fact. So I think it is even sadder that cola has to be sold in beer-look-alike-stubbies to be socially acceptable.

And if you are the desegnated driver, there is little else you can drink. Paul Watson wrote: They say that is last step in alchoholism The last? Oh heck - why didn't anyone say anything before now?!?! ;P Actually, I probably shouldn't smile 'cause I have seen what alchoholism can do do a person's life... but it wont happen to me for at least another thirty years -- I'm still enjoying life. ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v.

OIC now, you meant the skirt and Sheila bit being backwards, not the peer pressure pub-drinking bit. LOL Ok, maybe I worded it wrong. You know what I meant though!

That is such a lame excuse *looks around hoping nobody peer presussers me into drinking* ;) David Wulff wrote: The last? Oh heck - why didn't anyone say anything before now?!?! Maybe people saw you as being happy with your bar-setup, so they let it slide. David Wulff wrote: but it wont happen to me for at least another thirty years -- I'm still enjoying life. God, could you be anymore depressing? Jeeesh, it's a friday! Be happy!

My best friend at school lost his mom to it at 15 and then his dad at 17. He turned out very bitter and twisted.
