    I think he's referring to an American-style beer brewed by Anheiser Busch, named "Busch" and selling for a bit less than their flagship beer, Budwieser.

        It's a very cheap beer that we discovered back in the day driving down to Endfest near Seattle. You can drop into any 7-11 type store on the highway, pick up about 42 Busch for the price of a liter of milk and laugh hysterically while drinking it and finding all the different ways to pronounce "Busch". You can do this because it has very little alcohol in it (to be fair few US beers do).

          Ah. So by cocktail he must be referring to the cocktail of chemicals used to get a beer fermented in 24 hours.

            Very nice with tomato juice, but what's Climato?  Is that kid sister safe? BTW, Underberg also makes for a very good repair tool.  A shot of that chased with a Castle Milk Stout and you're up and away! :cool:

            As Shog has pointed out, this is Clamato[^]. When it was introduced into Canada, they used to have some pretty funny commercials on TV. Like people open a faucet over a sink and out would come some Clamato juice. Or a group of golfers seeking cover from the sprinkler system. Only the the sprinkler system was spouting Clamato again instead of water. Oh and I always misspell the word, too. :)

                Clamato[^]. A salty tomato-and-clam flavored beverage. There's a beef flavored variation called Beefamato. They're delicious, and if you overindulge along with alcohol you will become severely dehydrated. Well, i did at least. My head throbs just thinking about it.

                Clamato is awesome. Never tried Beefamato though. Any particular alcohol you recommend it with? I've only had it straight. BTW, its one of the best cures for a hangover.

                      Vodka. Vodka, orange juice, and clamato is a solid drink. Or just make a bloody mary.

                        Cool. Never tried Kentucky moonshine but we have similar stuff in South Africa. Ireland has a similar drink too. Every country does I guess. In South Africa it is called wit-blitz ("white lighting") though it has other names too. Back home in South Africa I'd be called a red neck too (we say "rooi nek" though, Afrikaans) and I used to drink the cheap beer looked down on by those above me. *shrug*

                              Yeah its was also called White lightning. Come to think of it I've got a 30 yr. old news clipping explaining where the name White Lightning came from. I've have to dig it out and put it on my site. Ours was either a corn or potato mash and just a little-dab-l-do-ya Thanks Mike

                                  Good moonshine is fine stuff. One of my uncles triple-distills the stuff, you can drink it all night long and never get a hangover. Of course, you need something plenty sturdy to lean against while you're drinking it... somehow, the world becomes a good deal more fragile after a while...

                                      None. I don't drink. Heck, I consume something like 2 aerated drinks a year.

                                        Vodka. Vodka, orange juice, and clamato is a solid drink. Or just make a bloody mary.

                                          Generally, scotch & water, though since my doctor recommended a good scotch every night to aid healing, I have been sipping on Glenfiddich as a nightcap. For dessert, it's hard to beat a Rusty Nail, unless you'd prefer to be able to walk home under your own power.
