Red beer (using simple tomato juice) has been a life saver for me over the years. Takes the sour taste out of the beer and let's you drink enormous quantities without getting hammered/sick.

If you overachieved the night before and are in the midst of enjoying a well-earned, head-banging hangover, red beer lets you hit the ground (bar?) running. Wonderful stuff.

I've always heard it called "Red Beer" and can stand it (barely) if it has extra spicy tomato juice or a bunch of tabasco. Its one of those hair of the dog things.

Yep. If I'm not drinking a tastey Belgian White or Hefe Weizen, T&T with lime is what I drink. I'm told it's an old man drink. My reply is usually something along the lines of "Back in my day....."

In that case, I've been an old man since I was 19.
First "hard" drink I ever had, and still one of my favorites.

I have fond memories of senior year of high school drinking T&Ts while in my buddy's pool. So, I guess I was an old man early too.

i got one for y'all. IRISH CAR BOMB shot of Bailey's, shot of Jameson, shake the [censored] out of it, put it in a shot glass (goes two ways) drop in a pint of Guiness and chug. tastes just like chocolate milk!

Sounds interesting. For a second there I thought you were going to describe a cement mixer.....baileys and lime juice shaken and shot. Lime juice reacts w/ the baileys and creates a thick chunky funky mix....an interesting experience.

The way a cement mixer was first 'administered' to me, I was told,

"Here. Take this shot of Bailey's but don't swallow. Now take this shot of lime juice and don't swallow. OK? Now swish everything around in your mouth and then swallow."

I believe that's the proper way to do one, as your mouth is then the cement mixer.

Peter - I believe you are correct. I hadn't see or done that in a really long time, so I didn't give it much thought. Doing it the right way allows you to experience that transformation in your mouth.....again, an interesting experience.

yeah, ive had that one too. kind of a bizarre experience when your not expectin it!
