I don't know why I feel like alcoholic root beer is okay but alcoholic ginger ale is not
I actually liked the alcoholic ginger beer better than the root beer. Though I haven't tried that many varieties.
Flea, I would be annoyed by a coworker because it's awkward to make them leave, but a 10 year old I'd kick out without compunction. You don't even work there, kid! Go nap under moms desk?
Alcoholic root beer is now a thing and is delicious!
I tried the alcoholic orange soda at a liquor store a while back. Very sweet but might be nice mixed with something else.
Not all ginger beer is alcoholic, is it?
All I know of ginger beer is that it was used in a threatening manner in one of Pratchett's Night Watch books, as a potential part in a dirty interrogation (though only as a threat, and Vimes was disgusted with himself). I have no idea what is so threatening about ginger beer.
Health~ma for your Mom Matt

Nope. It generally is not.
Aw, Theo, sorry about Sylvia. Kinda glad she didn't die while under your care, though.
And Happy Cat.
My critters better all stay healthy, dammit! We will have a stern talk this evening, I expect.
Home-made ginger (and root) beer tends to be highly carbonated/explosive (or not at all, if the batch goes bad). My mom has many great stories of her dad's experiments with trying to make his own. Very messy, apparently.
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Gud.
Went to the Negro League Baseball Museum and the Jazz Museum today. Very nice.
Nope. It generally is not.
Okay, that is what I thought because they sell it around here in stores that don't sell alcohol.
The instructions for making kvass include stern warnings about tying down the corks so they don't pop off during the fermentation process. And that's a small beer, I guess a little alcoholic but that's not the point of it.
Biyi is quite into the (non-alcoholic) ginger beer. Which led at one point to an intervention by her father, who was very concerned about the amount of beer she was drinking. She had to explain to him that it was not the same as regular beer.
She found him afterwards with an empty bottle and a dictionary, translating the whole thing back into Chinese to make sure.

I'm not sure if this is what Pratchett was thinking of, but I've heard of it being used by shaking it up and forcing it up the target's nose. Apparently that can get very painful.
