Drussky, Everyone knows that Guinness rules for vitamin and food source content. Thus is it great if you want to go on a diet, and even better if you have a cold and have been told to drink plenty of liquids. And since it doesn't take too much room in the stomach you can have as much as you want (while still able to stand). In fact, with all it's healthful properties and the addition of proper exercise, food is no longer necessary (hic).

Later that same day.. the literary one is somewhere.. but in the meantime I have been trying various combinations of that drink. I think they are all ok. Everything is great. Luckily I taped the festivities. I will review it later. Glad to be of service in this fine experiment.

Druss, I believe the beer you are referring to is called "Vietnamese red beer". A friend of mine, who is a Vietnam vet, told me they would mix their beer with tomato juice (and anything else available), because tomato juice was refrigerated and beer was not. Best Regards, NM

>>>>I view adding something to beer as a sacrilege including lime in Corona. All are dilutions that reduce the quality of the experience.<<<<< BBBBBRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH....(interrupting rudely in this conversation) Your statement assumes that what you had was BEER to begin with, eh? I would not hang that title on the horrid little offering in the clear bottle....unless one widens the definition to include various and sordid "effluent" from the Mexico City Public Works Dept. (which is no where near the standards of ours suffice to say) The only decent beer available is that which is brewed in one's home, from scratch, with purified water and malted barley of impeccable origins....where nary a single rodent hair, much less the hindquarters of various road kill, is allowed into the mash tun. I don't drink store bought beer for the same reason I would never take a hit of "street acid". If I can't make it (and that covers MANY things) it ain't going in this boy's stomach! Cheers!
