Default Mixed Spirits in cans

Anyone noticed how popular these are? Really popular.

Everyman and his dog wil offer you a Jim Beam and coke (etc) in a can. Like it's a can of coke.

It's bought in slabs (or 6s) , it's drank in slabs (or 6s).

Some people even carry little mini eskies that will take 6 of them. I've had 2 girls turn up them.

I have a few in the fridge to offer, but don't really drink them myself preferring the ritual of opening a bottle.

Turn up *wit* them - mini eskies.

Now these 2 girls share their drinks out of them. You don't want to know about these 2 girls either. Well you do, but this is a family forum.

I like the bourbon and cokes, I think it's a great idea as otherwise I end up buying them seperately, opening a big bottle of coke and having a couple of drinks then in a couple of weeks throwing half the coke away cos it's gone flat...!

I'm not a big fan of them. Much prefer to mix my own. They just don't taste the same to me.

Ya have to do what I do then. Once you open the bottle of coke keep drinking the spirt until all the coke is gone. Purely so as not to waste the coke of course

Don't understand it myself. It works out far cheaper to buy a bottle of spirit and a big bottle of coke ( here in the UK anyway).
Depends how much you drink though I suppose
