William,

I dunno.  But, this is what I do know.  One hot summer day when I had a bar
business, a buddy came in who had just returned from a vacation in Canada, of
all places.  Other than a pocketful of funny looking coins, he brought back a
recipe for a drink he said was the latest craze in the Land of EH?  Take a
tall tumbler half filled with ice, fill it half way with ginger ale then top
it off with beer.  He said it was really refreshing and tasty.  I was
dubious, but I tried one.  It was great.  On a hot day it really hit the spot
so I had a few more.  They got me drunker than shit before I realized what
hit me.  Oh, one other thing, since it seemed like a sissy drink, what with
the ice and ginger ale, I was drinking them through a straw.
