One of my criteria for a St. Patrick's Day bar is to walk in and loudly ask if they serve green beer.  If they reply in the affirmative, I turn on my heel and walk out.  Ain't no beer gonna turn a good shade of green unless it's Coors Lite or something, and that's no kind of beer to drink if you're pretending to be Irish for a day (and HELLS NO if you're actually of descent).

[wombat]

No.

I had some nice green tea cake today though.

When I went to a fun college we were sometimes allowed to drink beer in class. St.Patricks Day was one of those times. My afternoon lecture was filled with young men drinking forty-ounce bottles of green colored beer. It disgusted me then and it disgusts me now.

[littlefallsmets]

No, it is never acceptable.

It is acceptable to get such as a Heineken in a green-glass bottle, if you're into the green beer thing.

That is pretty much as far as it goes.

[jaydub]

It is a low thing to drink green beer.

Make a black and tan out of Harps and Guinness.  That is a much more appropriate way to observe the Feast Day of St Patrick.  Brandish a cudgel at any snakes you come across as well.

As far as I'm aware you can't get such a thing in Britain... I mean, hell, I don't like to consider Northern Ireland as part of the UK (not for wont of getting rid of the, merely for letting them be rid of us), but we're close enough to only accept Guinness as St. Patrick's day beer (maybe a Caffreys or something if, god forbid, you are unwilling to drink Guinness). Thereafter it's just about being Iri^h^h^h drunk, so it doesn't matter so much.

I'm shuddering just at the thought...

I don't know that it's acceptable to drink anything but Guinness on St. Patrick's. Guinness is not green.

Beer is not a toy or a game.

Hah hah, I like that.

For me it's Jameson or Tullemore, or last year was Michael Collins in that long neck bottle since it looked so intriguing.

But coloring the whiskey?  That's a new thread altogether.

So I just recently had someone tell me that they made something called "beer margaritas" in college. I guess it is beer and lime juice and margarita mix (tequila optional). I shanked him just like Red Sheets.

I top off my beer with nothing.  Why are people messing with the beer? What did the beer ever do to them?

[Nabubrush]

Sometimes you just wish you woke up with the gin already in you.

My wife and I say this to each other often. Unfortunately we more or less mean it.

In Alaska, Gin drinks you.


(I had to copy and paste that comma from another post)

[Teatime]

In everywhere, gin tastes like awful.

[theinevitable]

I have never tried gin.
And I still can't really enjoy beer. Getting closer, maybe.
