My favourite drink is Bavaria 8.6 in all its forms but it’s difficult to get hold of in the UK. I can drink Special Brew/Tennents Super in an emergency but they’re not what they used to be.

I’ve had some success by combining mainstream lagers with bourbon and Guinness/Newcastle Brown with whisky.

What do you use to give ordinary pints a kick (no limes + stick of celery + creme de menthe + paper umbrellas please)

half pint glass, a touch under a quarter pint of lager, a touch under a quarter of cola, drop in a shot glass (inc the glass) of amaretto = Dr Pepper

petrol

50/50 Smirnoff Ice and Lager
or
50/50 Stella, Strongbow & a dash of blackcurrant.

I assume you are a student?

I’m sure Ton will have a vast array of receipes 😉

Lager (1/2 pint), Cider (1/2 pint), Vodka, Gin, Blue Curacao, dash of orange juice if you’re feeling flush and don’t mind drinking something that looks like a pint of fairy liquid. This isn’t a session drink mind……

**EDIT** I dread to think what this would cost these days – not drunk it since I was a student.

Nice beer and a nice whyskey, each in their own glass side by side. No need to mix them.
If you want strong beer just check out any decent modern brewery for some stronger brews plenty out there

Think we used to call that green diesel slowbloke. Bloody rocket fuel – one and done IIRC!

Lager, Blue Bols and a double Vodka a la depth charge. Pissed in a Pint, we used to call it the Blue Bastard.

50/50 Smirnoff Ice and Lager

Aka the turbo shandy.

Pint of Guinness and a couple of shots of Tia Maria gives a very passable coffee cocktail.

I’m sure Ton will have a vast array of receipes 😉

no, plain old blonde ale for me. why spoil something so beautiful.

Hmm quite like the variations on the snakebite theme

lager and vodka also

I used to sometimes pop a shot of Jameson in a pint of Guinness when it was last orders.

Assuming this isn’t a wind-up, why not just buy one of the many high ABV “craft ales” kicking about now, or indeed some Belgian beer?

But cold to be out in the park isn’t it?

Larger and Blue Curacao = Frogsnot IIRC.

I have tried them but they’re a bit too artisan for my primitive palate. I prefer a basic but strong pint

btw has anyone tried freezing lager to increase the alcohol content? Apparently the water freezes before the alcohol so you can separate them. i wondered if you could do this in a domestic freezer.

Even something like a Leffe Blonde?

magic rock human (or if you can get it, Inhuman ) cannonball.
12% but tastes like a 5% ipa.

Even something like a Leffe Blonde?

Not for some time but now you’ve mentioned it I’ll try it again

Smirnoff Ice is only 4-5% so a Turbo Shandy wouldn’t be any stronger than a straightforward pint of Stella

Lager and cider – is that called diesel?

Lager and super cider (white lightning) – turbodiesel?

As said above.

Lager + Smirnoff Ice – Power shandy
Drink a doubles worth
Add Vodka – Turbo Power shandy
Drink Half – add wkd of your choice (as reef no longer exists) – Tropical Turbo Power shandy

Tennants Super + Strong white cider + port – Snakebosh.

Or just strawpedo a bottle of white wine.

*I have not been a student for a long time, but that was our general idiocy (except for when the local did a triple vodka and a bottle of alcopop for £5 and bogoff….)

McEwans champion is a nice, strong ale (7.3%). Nothing fancy!

Not for some time but now you’ve mentioned it I’ll try it again

if you can find it, try Leffe Royale.

Many thanks

“Newcastle Brown with whisky”

You need your head examined mate! 😀

Bit of a highjack – but do students still do this kind of ridiculous binge drinking stuff?

It’s not biinge drinking unless it includes an IV drip.

But it depends on the Uni. .

I can drink Special Brew/Tennents Super in an emergency but they’re not what they used to be.

They used to be the tipple of choice for hobos?

What are they now?

Have you considered a nice Merlot and a long, hard look at your life?

I’m with Mike Smith on this one. Except my chaser of choice is a dutch gin / jenever with a pint of lager. Or a kopstoot as it’s known in Holland. Which translates as headbutt.
I’m terribly sophisticated.

Merlot and cocaine?

Guinness, Pernod and black.

Or, if you like Chocolate Oranges, Guinness, vodka and orange.

The only acceptable cocktail for a man to drink is a Manhatten (it’s in the name, yeah 😀 ) or a Bloody Mary.

**** peasants.

Buckfast and mushy peas?

Victory Gin and betrayal?

Tequila and regret?

The only acceptable cocktail for a man to drink is a Manhatten (it’s in the name, yeah 😀 ) or a Bloody Mary.

Rusty nail?
Espresso Martini?

I have no **** idea what a Rusty Nail is.

A Martini Espresso is for someone who won’t drink whisky neat and then snort a line of coke during lunchtime.

Sucks to be you!!

Mike, I am mostly joking/being a bellend. 😛

I am secretly partial to Old Fashioned variations.

@raybanwomble, Old Fashioned is far superior to a Manhattan, and also doesn’t come with the vile cherry.

Spent a couple of months in Korea this year, drink of choice is beer with the local spirit (soju)

Called somaek, widely drunk, and very tasty
