sounds...erm, delicious. Of course you could just go for snakebites...
half cider and half lager. I was a little silly as a drinker. I hated
beer so much I switched to spirits, which I hated almost as much, so I
started flavouring them (before alcopops were invented) and became
addicted to Pernod and orange. The real problem with this stuff is I
could drink a heck of a lot of it while still inside a building, but
cold air would have the effect of rendering me insane and blind within
seconds. I could leave a pub stone cold sober and be found singing songs
to the white lines in the middle of the road outside.
