What's cool?

[Advocate]

Weird that some parts of the country have a different name for snakebite & black.

It's known by both terms where I am... although I think "Diesel" is supposed to make it sounder cooler to the young(er) 'uns.

Only ever known as Diesel to me. Does that mean I'm cool. Or was, whenever this drink was common, before the advent of alco pops?

Are you both from more rural areas? As in red diesel?

Known as the pink drink at our uni since only the girls sports teams (and the mens hockey) ever drank it.

A drink for schoolgirls.

When we were drinking, (20 years ago) we drank Depth Charges Tennants Extra with a shot of Drambuie, still in the glass, dropped into it, washed down with a Tequilla Slammer or three.








Then get arrested.

Do they still sell Tennants super? it was stronger than extra. Guaranteed to kill any southern man.

Actually, yeah - done them. Never got arrested as any shot (Especially whisky) has a high probability to invoke involuntary vomiting on my part. Usually with no warning, over the nearest bar/table and causing no end of collateral damage to innocent spectators.

Normally has the side benefit of sobering me up very quickly.

Why anybody (other than gentleman of the road) would want to drink 9% alcohol lager is beyond me.

Probably for the same reason Jackeys (Scottish term for Rab C Nesbitt types) drink Buckfast Tonic Wine in the west of Scotland. It ge's you pished quickly, for a minimal outlay of cash.

The taste of that stuff when you get towards the bottom of the can is really quite remarkably bad.
