A Dark and Stormy made with Black Seal and Crabbies Ginger Beer, instead of regular ginger "beer," is mighty tasty.
Coke + beer? No way. Since I've put on a few pounds over the past two years I no longer drink calories. Maybe coke zero + beer?
You no longer drink calories? But you drink beer?
I saw this today at a restaurant. I've never heard of this but it sounds vile.

The logic is a little lacking there, isn't it?You no longer drink calories? But you drink beer?
Beer calories don't count...they contain alcohol
I bet it's better than budweiser, the great american lager!

Then the solution is to just add alcohol to your cola.
And THEN mix it with beer?

That is certainly one option.
how else are you gonna have a Bourbon Barrel Royal Crown Cola Grande Cru?
That reminds me - at the University of Wisconsin Union they used to serve this stuff called BB Lemon. It was this awful, sickly sweet 5ish ABV lemon stuff.
Funny, it sounds a lot like a Japanese soda called CC Lemon which was non-alcoholic and had 1,500mg of Vitamin C in it. I loved that stuff, but it was very sweet also.
I was also a fan. It's pretty crazy carbonated too.
In Japan they have what's called "Lemon Sour" which is not a whiskey sour or anything similar. It's actually like a mixture of lemon soda (like CC lemon) and shochu (usually 21% ABV), which in the end comes out to around 5% or 6% ABV.
By extension "sour" in Japan means "carbonated soda beverage with alcohol in it" and you'll get stuff like "Grape Sour" and "Orange Sour" and so on which are not sour at all.
I remember hearing these as a "Squash" also. I loved the Lemon Squash (Lemon Sukasshu).
Squash doesn't have alcohol in it though. It's basically just a type of carbonated lemon-flavored drink. Pretty damn good, though. I think the term is a distortion of the UK English term "squash."
Reminds me of "Cider" in Japan, which has nothing to do with apples, but is actually a pretty much unflavored (but sweetened) carbonated drink. Some "ciders" are flavored, though, such as Ramune (which is, yes, considered "cider" in Japan). For the alcoholic drink from apples, the Japanese use the French word "Cidre" (Shiidoru) instead of the English word "cider," which means "soda."
Then the solution is to just add alcohol to your cola.
Maybe because by your reasoning, the calories will negated by the alcohol, the same as the calories in your beer? (and alcohol actually has 7 calories per gram, vs 4 calories per gram of sugar...)I'm confused...I said I don't drink calories . Cola has calories, no matter how much alcohol you add to it

berry punches!! all of you!!!!
Are you trying to tell me there are calories in beer?
Edit: I just googled this and it looks like you are correct. Sh*t the bed, I'm going to have rethink this whole thing!

Yes, there are lots and lots of calories in beer (how much really depends specifically on the beer). Haven't you ever heard people call beer "liquid bread"?
And alcohol (ethanol) is actually pretty dense with calories, just so you know.
...and now, back to funny
Hmmm...Are you trying to tell me there are calories in beer?

http://www.homebrewing.org/How-to-Chill-a-Beer_ep_33-1.html said:The quickest solution is to pour a warm beer into your glass, then hold it up around eye level and tell your wife/girlfriend that she’s way overweight and needs to go on a diet or you might accept the advances of her little sister. Her freezing glare will frost up your glass and cool it within 3 seconds! Don’t hold that pose more than 5 seconds or your beer will become frozen, your face will become frost-bitten, and your head will likely be dented by the soon-to-follow rolling pin!
Hmmm...
