Originally posted by Dr StrangelovePaddy and Murphy go on holiday to Italy. They're in Rome one day, and decide to visit the Vatican. On the way, they see the new Pope being carried into St. Pauls in a pallanquin. After wandering round all day, they decide to go into the nearest bar for a drink.
Any of this you buy these days mostly has a percentage of methanol added, making it undrinkable. Also it would taste bloody awful.
Paddy: "2 pints of Guinness, please."
Barman: "Sorry, is a no a here a Guinness. And inna Roma, we don'ta sella pintas. We gotta halfa lita glasses..."
Murphy: "Lets have whatever the Pope drinks, after all, this is his home city."
Paddy: "Sure you're right, Murphy. Barman, what does the Pope drink?"
Barman: "He drinka Creme de Menthe..."
Paddy: "Alright, let's have some of that. Barman, 2 half litres of Creme de menthe, please."
Barman: "2 halfa litas of Creme de menthe..."
The drinks arrive, and are duly downed...
Murphy: "Hey, Paddy, it's no wonder they have to carry him around in that box-chair thing, is it?"

THE POTEEN SONG
Now learned men who use the pen have wrote your praises high
That sweet Poteen from Ireland green, distilled from wheat and rye:
Throw away your pills, it will cure all ills of Pagan, Christian, or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat with the real old mountain dew
It would have to be something horribly undrinkable. something even the most recless idiots of us, with no sense of self-preservation would even consider consuming in any way. something like methanol mixed 50/50 with crude oil, spiced with a little sulphuric acid. now that's what I'd call a Manly Drink. and come to think of it, guinness does come quite close.
I guess napalm would do also.
"Nick Rivers: Do you mind if I have a swig of this?

Chocolate Mousse, Resistance Member: Go right ahead.
Nick Rivers: [takes a mouthful, spits in disgust] What the hell is this stuff?
Chocolate Mousse, Resistance Member: Gasoline.

Nick Rivers: Listen to me Hillary. I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist only to lose her to her childhood lover who she last saw on a deserted island who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French underground.
Hillary Flammond: I know. It all sounds like some bad movie.
[Long pause. Both look at camera]
The manliest drink I have had recently was Marstons 'Owd Roger' a 7.6% ABV Bitter (Strong Ale meets Barley Wine).
Other manly drinks I have enjoyed:
Absinth
Slivovice
Becherovka
Skull Splitter (9% ABV Bitter)
Some unknown Taiwanese Spirit
Farm 'grown' Pear Schnapps from Slovenia.
Edit: not to forget Wray & Nephew Jamaican White Overproof Rum. (62.8% ABV)
Hic!
