Have you heard that Anheiser-Busch is coming out with a new beer concoction?

It's called B (to the E power). Anyway, this stuff has the same amount of caffine as a cup of coffee!!

So, either the drunks will never pass out or they'll be so hyped up there will be multiple bar fights. I'm not so sure this is a good idea for a new product.

.....but then again.....as a breakfast drink, it has some potential....

No worse than a RedBull and Vodka...

Besides, their beers taste like crap so they might as well add something to it...

Yeah, I read an article on this. The article claimed (and I agree from experience) that there's no way that the caffine will counteract the effects of the alcohol. It's like the whole Redbull and vodka thing.. It's all psychological, the drink simply won't give you enough energy to knock aside the severe depressive effects of the alcohol.

Passing out is a natural part of getting drunk, I wish people would stop fighting it :D :p

On a semi related note, Anyone ever taken those pills called "Chaser" that are supposed to preemptively strike hangovers? Does it work>

A couple people I talked to said they work, but I'm a little skeptical. Hangovers are caused by dehydration. I'm wondering if they just cause your body to retain more water, similar to the effects of ephedrine.

Drink a big glass of water before bed and be happy :thumb:

Yes it works edit- the one I took is called RU-21. Similar concoction, I'm assuming a bit with Chasers, but the RU-21 worked marvelously.

Oh yeah, looks like someone at AB watched re-runs of the Drew Carey show (Buzz Beer.) Yippee...more fizzy pee-water....

I haven't taken those pills but I have taken plenty of other stupid things that claimed to prevent hangovers. the only thing I have found that works is to not drink so damm much. that's not going to happen though so I'll just cuntinue to spend half my week hungover.

drinking water while drinking beer sorta helps but after 10 or so beers, i'm gunna be hungover......

First of all there is NOTHING that Anheiser-Busch produces that can be considered beer.

Secondly this new drink is for white trash dudes that consider themselves meterosexuals, and chicks.

Chaser is BS. They are only supposed to work on 6 drinks or less, who drinks only 6 drinks. If you drink more, your a$$ is gonna be hungover unless you drink plenty of water.

If you eat a big meal (steak dinner) you tend not to get a wasted so fast. if you're drinking all night long...eat some stuff...you'll be better off.


Man, health class is great :blah:
