From Wikipedia - "a German 70-proof digestif made with 56 different herbs and spices"

and

"Jägermeister?s ingredients include 56 herbs, fruits, roots and spices including citrus peel, liquorice, anise, poppy seeds, saffron, ginger, juniper berries and ginseng.[5] These ingredients are ground, then steeped in water and alcohol for 2?3 days. Afterwards, this mixture is filtered and stored in oak barrels for about a year. When a year has passed, the liqueur is filtered again, then mixed with sugar, caramel, alcohol and water. It is filtered one last time and then bottled."

Sounds fairly fatal - sweet and highly alcoholic. I forsee messiness :)

I think I will give it a wide berth

Reminds me of the multiple bottles of absinthe that I have in the cupboard!

I can drink Jager but the Red Bull is just nasty.

I had some awesome shots a couple of weekends ago called Fisu which is vodka with a fishermans friend dissolved in it. Surpringly tasty and clears your sinuses out

I thought you were going to protest against their clothes...

Eeeewwwww! So that's why I have never tried one. You are not doing a good job of convincing me

Think I'll stick to the G&T's!

A real German like me (as opposed to a fake one ?) drinks a Jaegerbomb not with Red Bull but with the shot glass of Jaegermeister dumped into a small glass of beer. Down all in one go.
Any takers for the authentic version?

What's the German for "No way Jose"?

The stories of the last time I went out drinking Lager can still not be told as the narrator doubles up laughing just at the thought! I'm still not sure what I did that was so hilarious

I should probably stop talking about alcohol. I get drunk really quickly these days.
All this bombs talk is not going to do me any favours should anyone actually challenge me to a drink off.

OK, so long as whoever feeds me lager gets me home

Did I tell you my 'how posh is Justine' story from the last meetup?

We was standing at the bar and I was burbling on about wondering if they only sold wine. Justine said that she thought they sold everything. I said 'lovely I will have a smirnoff ice then'

Cue Justine's puzzled face and 'what is Smirnoffice?' in the manner of kinder (and much younger) version of Lady Bracknell.

It was then I knew that I would never quite fit in at MN

OhDoAdmit you just made me laugh! I will be the one drinking pints of lager hiding in the corner

very MN not knowing what a smirnoff ice or a jeiger bomb is.

i shall be alcohol free all night

i think not Custy! aren't we meeting in a bar in brighton late morning?!

shhhhhhhh

:)

Do you guys mind if I bring my husband?

I just realized it is our 13th wedding anniversary on the 26th!!???

Pretty please.

Does he really want to come?!

erm, of course not.

It was a joke.

My weird and unfunny sense of humour seems to have been confirmed.
