Beer With Extra

[andyf]

From BoingBoing (http://www.boingboing.net/2005/07/03/caffeinated_beer_in_.html):

Anheuser-Busch is launching its caffeinated beer in the UK. BE (Beer With Extra) contains 5% alcohol, 60.4mg of caffeine, guarana, and ginseng. In the US, BE is sold as B-to-the-E (BE). My sister-in-law Heather Sparks points out that there's also a caffeinated and taurine-laden malt liquor on sale in the US called Sparks (no relation).

Just what this country needs, more alcohol for the young masses. Now kids will have no reservations to go out and buy this drink, as they can claim to their neurotic parents that it will keep them awake like coke does.

I speak in reference to parents who dont provide their kids with any moral guidance and the like. Quite opinionated on that subject as we've had a lot of issues in my area.

Have this sneaking suspicion it's going to taste like arse. And where's my Skittlebrau?

Mr Sykes, such a thing does not exist, you must have dreamed it.

I

Since when has "it will keep me up like coke does" been a persuading point in ANY argument? I was never allowed coke because it contains caffeine...

[TE-Hellfire]

What is it with people and soft drinks anyway? I find almost all of them are so pumped up with sugar that as soon as you finish them, you don't feel refreshed, you are instead left with a large phlegmy deposit at the back of your throat which only makes you wanna grab some water to wash it down.

Stick with water, drive those sugar pimping fascists out of business!

My point exactly. Parents who allow their children to drink coke en-mass might think that this will do the same thing.

Despite costing twice as much no doubt.

My statements may be off-track slightly, I hit my head at work and feel semi-concussed :(

[shadow03]

what?:confused: so because my mother lets my younger sisters drink coke now, she will go out and buy them some beer because it does pretty much the same thing?:confused:
Maybe im just tired and mis-understanding you, actually i hope i am.

No he just appears to be a sensationalist idiot.

Add concussed to that lineup and you'll be approaching the truth ;)

I always find that the alcohol in drinks cancel out the effects of caffine or Turine.

I sleep like a baby when I've been on Vodka and Red-bull. To the extent where I can't drink it now cause I can fall asleep anywhere I sit after drinking it.

Plus I can imagine that Caffine in Beer is going to leave a minging after taste like VodkaWild used to before they stopped selling it.

concussed sensationalist idiot

Its going to be another crappy alco pop, just another drink for 16 yr old girls who look like 18 yr olds (damn push ups and make up, damn them to hell)

Most likely it'll taste like crap

[Mingtea]

It'd be the most excitement he's had in a LONNGGG time.

[TE-Hellfire]

Well if anybody would like some excitement then I make the generous offer of stroking anybody's leg for a tenner.
