Beer Drops
The other day in Yokohama’s Chinatown district I discovered tins of alcohol-flavoured sweeties named “Beer Drops.” I’m not entirely sure it’s wise to introduce kiddies to booze at an early age, but perhaps alcoholics could suck on these things at work, to prevent getting the shakes, in the same way chain-smokers make use of nicotine patches.

If you eat a whole pack in one sitting, do you experience some of the side effects of beer: beer goggles, burping, karaoke etc etc?

Good point! I’ll have to give it a try.

Also…if you eat a bunch of those candies…do you get alcoholic breath?

Oh yeah. You could get into trouble at work!
