You are part Guinness, Jameson Irish Whiskey and Bailey's Irish Creme. When mixed, you tend to make people to strange things once consumed. You must be taken in moderation or you're sure to encite bar fights, sleeping in gutters, or waking-up with unfamiliar aquaintences. You're often a hit in Irish pubs, but are shunned by maternal organizations. Though quite refreshing, you also pack one hell of a punch after about five minutes.

You're often a hit in Irish pubs, but are shunned by maternal organizations.

This took me about 60 seconds to figure out and I'm still guiltily giggling over it.

It's interesting that people have different drinks with the same name. I've been to bars that say a carbomb is just a boilermaker with Harp and Jamisons. I also used to frequent a bar in Louisville, KY that called a carbomb a balck and tan made with Guinness and a hard cider - also called a snakebite by some (had this confirmed in Solsbury England when I ordered it as Guinness and Cider at a pub and was told they didn't serve car bombs there).

My real name is that of a drink.

Beer and lemonade.

Tried it, not bad, rather refreshing.

That's a shandy for the English speakers, a radler in Germany, (A russ if you're using wheat beer) and some people incorrectly call it an Arnold Palmer, which is actually iced tea and lemonade and totally non-alcoholic. But still yummy.

Take a pint of Guinness and watch that waterfall.
Drink it halfway down and stop... you dare not drink it all.
Take half a shot of whiskey... make Jameson the call,
Then top the shot with Bailey's and get ready for a ball.

Line those glasses up, me boys, it's time to face the fray.
If you ain't got the gonads... get up and walk away.
Drop that shot right in the beer, then quickly drink it down.
Last one empty on the bar will buy another round.

Oh, vodka's in the bottle and rum is in the flask.
I've got a shot of brandy and tequila's in me glass.
Imported wines from off the vines will sometimes serve the task,
but whiskey, Bailey's, Guinness... will knock me on my a$$.

"Whiskey, Bailey's, Guinness"

Michael[/b], Hebrew, "One who is like God" (now that's a bit better!)

Common mis-translation, I had to live with it for years. Actual translation is the question that Michael was famed for asking "Who is like God?" Somewhere along the line the question mark got lost.
