Fat Frogs banned

[pablo]

time for a drink thread ...

Ingredients (one of each)
Smirnoff Ice
Bacardi Breezer Orange
WKD Original

you can add a shot of vodka for a "fucked frog" :square:

Anyway there was a thing on the news last night that there are moves to ban drinks like this to curb binge drinking. Com'on we're not silly, all you have to do is just ask for them seperately, and mix them yourself !
Pretty lame attempt by the government I must say.

[megxx]

wats da point in banning dem!! exactly wat u said is rite, we can mix dem ourselves!!
dats usually wat i do at home neway!! ( too expensive wen im out)

[stairway 2 hell]

but sure you cant just finger out fat frogs. you might as well go banning long island ice teas and bloody marys and other cocktails, which are actually cheaper than fat frogs, so whats the bloody point?

[the outlaw torn]

i think they are trying to get rid of all breezer type drinks or just get them to have different labelling so people won't know they exist or something.
they are also trying to ban ads for those alco pop type drinks, which would be bad cause the wkd ones are brilliant.

[Faith]

How much is a Fat Frog, when you're out? Wouldn't it be like, €18?

[megxx]

ya depends where usually between 16.50 + 19.50

[JennyPen]

But they're so nummy!! You can't ban them!

I agree with Kev, you'd have to ban every other cocktail in the place! But the way I see it is that us evil youth-types drink it, and that's WRONG ('cos I'm only 19, and all, so it's wrong if I drink too much, as opposed to someone twice my age), so it must be gotten rid of.

The New Irish Government approved fruit flavoured vodka based alcohlic beverage. WKD Grey

[happy joy joy]

its not the goverment its the pubs them selves that r doing it

[the evil belly]

i think they should ban alcopops. they're dangerous to inexperiened drinkers especially girls who drink way too much cos they don't realise they're getting drunk* cocktails on the other hand are generally not something that people hammer back but rather sip and enjoy.



*i am well aware that this does not apply to all female drinkers but it does apply to a lot of them

[happy joy joy]

na! get welleyed in to it i say!

[the evil belly]

thats what tequilas for innit?

[stairway 2 hell]

that and absynthe (oh god, the thought. i'm off to the jacks to hurl)

[the evil belly]

mmm absinthe. me make splans for getting blind drunk in the near future

[Vampira]

but fat frogs!!! the best invention ever! i do tend to do an awful lot of stupid stuff when i have a couple of those in me as most of my friends will testify to but its all harmless and i almost never hurt anybody!

[the evil belly]

i think a big part of the problem is not drunk people hurting people but drunk people being taken advantage of. you only have to open a paper to see cases of rape and assualt that are all too often drink related

[Faith]

Yumm... Tequila...

I keep meaning to try absinthe, but by the time I'm drunk enough to have the nerve, noone will do it with me :'(

I had a dream about a fat frog last night, that I bought the 3 bottles myself, and brought them up to school. School turned into a party, but noone was drinking so i had to drink them all by myself.

i'm sure deb will drink it with you. she seemed to like it on her birthday. failing that i've a bottle of it in the press and kev is easily corrupted

[stairway 2 hell]

i aint touching it. everytime i drink it i feel a bit of my liver going "well fuck this i'm outta here"

[the evil belly]

well it's either that or cliona claims your liver as her own. she's already claimed rights on your spleen as well as you kidneys now. it won't be long before she'll be charging you money just for being in existence

[kidney killer]

gone way off topic but anywho, he said i can have an organ of my choice. i already own his kidneys, spleen and lungs so what else do i want???

[Tree]

i prefere paradise cove's to fat frogs (bjue wkd and orange breezer, just leave out the smirnoff ice)

i will agree they get some ppl twisted faster (got a friend of mine polluted one night when i introduced her to em, cleanign up after was fun........)

but it'd be v hard to ban em, i mix em myself like most of the population, only wat ot stop it is to ban alcopops and that aint gonna happen

[Vampira]

i actually enjoy the odd absinthe but the weird thing is i just cant get drunk on it! i brought a bottle o it back from the czech the republic and drank half of it with friends and nada. oh and that shot ye bought me for my birthday, zilch effect!

[the evil belly]

oh and that shot ye bought me for my birthday, zilch effect!
twas more you gasping for air after breathing in deeply when you had downed it like i told you too.
a piece of advice folks NEVER EVER listen to a sober me when it involves you drinking stuff. it'll most likely result in someone getting very drunk or very ill

[stairway 2 hell]

usually me

[Cemetry Slut]

Deb.. you got fucked on that green shit.. i remember buying it with ya.. i had some when i was in barcelona and i got compeltly fucked and chris saved me from falling out over my balcony.. he nearly clattered me the next day.. so its fair to say i wont be drinking it ever again!

[Vampira]

i think you must have mistakien me for someone else lorna, i couldnt gt drunk over there! me and all the 5th yrs tried to get drunk with ms keane and ms greed. the teachers got fucked royally but we all depressed that we couldn't i think tracey did tho, it was her first time drinking. poor lamb!

[Vampira]

oh and back on topic, i was out for my lovers bday on fri night and was drinking fat frogs ALL night. I went home 120 quid poorer and with a sore belly :(
still love em tho!!

[NiNjAHoLiC]

They don't cost so much if you buy them by the case-ful from the Off-ie. Then you can get so tanked you think you can shoot shells.

I never really saw the fuss until my GF's Debs night, when EVERYONE drank them. No joke. There wasn't a SINGLE variation on the drinking theme. It was just FAT FROGS ALL NIGHT!

I'm not surprised really looking at this that the Government wants to ban them, nights like this really hammer the reasons why home, but why should the rest of us suffer the loss because the nation's youths are unable to tell when too much is too much?

I disagree more with those dumbass vodka sachets more than anything else. For 4.50 you can have 3 units of Vodka in your schoolbag, who needs to buy a sandwich for lunch if you're pissed?

If all this goes to pass, it'll just make telling the law how many units you've had easier than telling the law how many 35.5ml servings you've had. I mean really.

they deliberlty didnt stock wkd at our debs so we coudlnt make our own!! BOOO!

[NiNjAHoLiC]

they deliberlty didnt stock wkd at our debs so we coudlnt make our own!! BOOO!We had a similar incident, but instead of expecting the massive consumption of Fat Frogs, when the hotel realised that so much was being drunk, they recinded the promise to keep the bar open until 02.30hrs, and closed the bar at 00.00hrs!!

Talk about mean b*****ds!

¤==|==NiNjAHoLiC==>

[JennyPen]

ah, i remember my friend grainne's effort at a fat frog... she decided to put half a bottle of hennessy's in as well...

[NiNjAHoLiC]

Now THAT must've been interesting....

[JennyPen]

Well, it didn't taste too authentic, but sure, we didn't really care too much, y'know?

[NiNjAHoLiC]

When drinking takes on that level of adventurous behaviour, I doubt it's a fine, aged flavour you're after. Ya just wanted to get langers right? And how! There are days I'd drink perfume if I thought it'd get me plastered fast!:eek: (Well, not really. But I did consider it a last resort!)

[JennyPen]

I don't really drink to get drunk, but one time I did go into a statistics lecture at nine o'clock in the morning with a vodka and red bull (in a coke bottle).

I still haven't live that one down. Le sigh.

[phinny]

I don't drunk to get drink. Ooops, there I go again!
Anywho, the Spar near us sells a 700ml bottle of orangey stuff (cheap breezer), a 700ml bottle of yellowey stuff (cheap Smirnoff Ice) and a 700ml bottle of blue stuff (cheap WKD) for €11!
Bargain!
Get in there!
Tastes awful!
Who cares?!
Had to mix it in a teapot!
Tea tasted funny the next morning!

Exclamation mark overdose!

[pablo]

They were saying on the radio that some bars are preparing the Fat Frogs and selling them. Also you can get bottles of it in Northern Ireland (jonathan is this true ?). How much does one cost ?

[JennyPen]

There is actually a drink you can get in bottles called Fat Frogs now, maybe that's what they're selling. It's a cheap imitation, but there you go.

[Lord Raath]

I have only ever drank them when my regular tipple was out of bounds (nice Murphy's not easy to find in club's:nope: ), and since I was recently introduced to JD and coke I can't see the ban really affecting me.:mwaha:

[the outlaw torn]

you can now get big bottles of smirnoff ice, wkd and bacardi breezer and i think the whole point of them is just for making fat frogs, if you look at them in supermarkets they are right next to each other, might as well have a sign saying mix together for extreme drunkness.

[Tree]

big bottles fo bacardi breezer??????????? since when?

[JennyPen]

YEs indeed, since when?!

[Lord Raath]

Yup, seen them around. We used to sell the big bottles of Smirnoff Ice and WKD in the off-licence when I worked there, and that was waaay back...

[the outlaw torn]

since ages you can get all big bottles, an mix em at home in a big jug and drink yourself silly before hitting the pubs.

[Tree]

ive only ever seen the big botles of smirnoff ice and wkd. used to annoy me that i had to buy three small bottles of breezer to go with. though usually i leave out the smirnoff ice, paradise cove's are much nicer

[sharonlvsmartin]

i luvvvvvv fat frogs!always regret them in the mornin but luv them none the less

[Cemetry Slut]

the only time i drink Fat Frogs is When its BOUGHT for me. otherwise...its kinda stupid!

A few Pints of Bulmers and im Sorted,
then i move onto the lorna Cockytails!

[Faith]

I drank a litre of it on new years eve. thanks Sham!

[Cemetry Slut]
