    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).

    That is so wrong in so many ways. :-D Sounds like a student beer.

      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.

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

              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*

                    When I lived there I lived at the base of Whiskey Ridge but was only allowed there when I took I guy I met home from work one day and I was watched from the time I went in until I left.

                    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...

                                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.

                                  Maragaritas are always welcome. Hmm, Saturday afternoon, sitting on the patio, Margarita in hand, bar-b-que sizzling away, balmy 90 degrees in the shade... Yeah, I love summer in California! And I grew rather fond of Tequila Sunrise while vacationing in Cozumel last year (but it might have been the free bar, rather than the drink itself :cool: )

                                  I like the local variety called "Bad Juan's", made at our local hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. A pitcher is just the thing to end a long, bad day. Especially since you'll be unconscious after a whole pitcher!

                                    I prefer Bacardi. Especially the Bacardi Anelo (sp?). I find that light rums taste better mixed with sodas than dark rums. However, for a good shot of rum, you've got to go with the dark stuff. :cool:

                                      How can you like single malt Scotch and still like bourbon?

                                      Because he doesn't really like scotch - how can you when you adulterate it with soda (or ice). Neat is the one true way of scotch.

                                        I agree about soda and most times I don't like ice in scotch but a tiny splash of water really can open a scotch up.
