Is this really appetizing?

mousepod · 08-08-2007, 01:10 PM

OK, I admit that I haven't enjoyed alcohol beverages for quite some time, but I can appreciate much of the cocktail talk that goes on here at LoT.

However, today when I stopped at my local 7-11 to grab a Coke and Honest Tea, I noticed this in the case:

While I was taking the above picture (because I couldn't believe such a disgusting product existed), another patron said "Oh yeah. Bloody Beer. I like mixing it myself, though."

So drinkers: is this appetizing?

I know this drink as bloody beer. Never had it myself because I've never suffered the condition under which I most people I know drink it: as a hair of the dog cure for a hangover.

Um, no, not at all. Ew.

I say gross but yes have heard of it as a hair of the dog drink. Although not pre-packaged. But hey you do get to choose between Bud or Bud Light.

My grandfather's choice was beer in orange juice - also gross.

Bleh.

I once mixed a beer with my gin & tonic on a dare and it actually wasn't all that bad. Certainly made beer more palatable.

Dude I saw this somewhere recently too...and quickly averted my eyes. Yikes.

It may be a cultural thing:

Quote:

STAMFORD, CONN.--Mott's clamato brand and Anheuser-Busch partner for a Hispanic promotion themed, "Es Hora de Celebrar" (It's time to celebrate), that marks Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16. The effort builds on the popularity of red beer, a blend of Clamato and beer, which Hispanics consume at parties, festivals and family gatherings.

Oofah!

I rarely drink these days and when I do, it's a maximum of two cocktails and no more. I also stick to drinks like margaritas. Most people here can attest to the fact I'm like, the world's worst drunk and I cannot hold my liquor. My late blossoming partying days were no joy, that's for sure.

Having said that, I'm not wasting a special drinking occasion on malted clamato or whatever the hell that is. Grody.
