Car Bombs (the drink)

[mason55]

So I was at a bar tonight and they refused to serve me and my friends car bombs. This isn't the first time it's happened. When we asked why, they told us "The owners said so." I've had this happen 3 or 4 other times and I'm wondering if anyone knows why certain bars won't server car bombs. No one will give me a straight answer when they deny me so I want a straight answer from 2+2;

For anyone that doesn't know what a car bomb is.

1/2 glass guiness
1/2 shot baileys
1/2 shot irish whiskey

drop shot glass in guiness and chug.

so why won't 50% of bar serve this to me???

People break a lot of glasses this way. (No, its not because you get too drunk too fast, otherwise they wouldn't serve me glasses of gin in places where they refrain from car bombs). I don't know if this is the real answer, but it makes sense.

Either that or its a particularly pernicious example of lingering prejudice,

Quit baiting me you lousy git.

I know several bars around here won't serve them because people have gotten too [censored] up off them. Most bars have Guiness on tap too. The local 'wine bar' won't serve them because one of the chefs got trashed and crashed his car into somebody's house drinking them.

They also don't like to do it cause they think it's too gonzo, not classy enough or whatever.

So basically, it's probably got something to do with them not knowing you, or you already being drunk, or them having problems with it. Car bombs do wreck you pretty fast.

Have to go with Jameson for the whiskey.

I used to have the same problem when I was in college. They don't want you breaking glasses, which does actually happen semi-frequently.

Wow, I've never seen a glass get broken from drinking these, and I've probably consumed my weight in Guiness several times over... weird.

See what happens when we let the Irish become white folk?

Start spreading their filthy misinformation...

You didn't let us become white folk, you had no choice. We were the only ones violent and hateful enough to kill all the blacks for you. Such ingrates, you waspy bastards.

Nice loc.

I've personally broken a glass drinking a car bomb and I've seen it happen other times. It usually happens on the slam down after you finish. When "racing" is involved, the probability increases dramatically.
