i'm a little intrigued by this

i am a fan of alcoholic drinks that

1) are not beer
and
2) do not burn a hole in my stomach (jack daniels' watermelon spike, mikes hard lemonade, etc..)
3) offer a little something extra, like an olive, a cherry, caffeine etc...

these sort of prerequisites mean the following to me, as far as drinking goes.

1) i really only drink martinis, bloody marys and margaritas
2) these drinks (in boston) cost about $9-$10
3) these drinks are very alcoholic
so thus
4) i am the drunkest and the poorest at the end of the night.

really, i wish i could drink beer. it's cheap, and portable.. but i physically can't. the reason being that i cannot burp. i don't know if it is a lack of gag reflex or what, but i have never burped in my life. and i think this somehow must contribute to the fact that if i drink more than two beers, i feel really very gross.

so maybe this new drink will be the answer to my wanna-be-a-beer-drinker woes. or maybe it will be yet another beverage that i like, and that adam's brother refers to as "a bitch drink".

i am holding a taste test at my apartment tomorrow. i will let you know the results.

i know!! i can drink soda as long as there is ice in it(thank god, i love me some diet pepsi), its just beer that bothers me..maybe it's more carbonated?

I can't vouch for this version of caffeinated beer, but there have been a few others on the market for at least a year that have totally failed to take off, and we had some called Moonshot for promo purposes at Charlie's when I worked there that tasted like garbage juice.
