Bars / Booze / Politics Is "Irish Car Bomb" a Terrible Name For a Drink?

More here, at Drunk of the Week. And this, from IrishCentral.Com:

An IRA victim’s group, Fair, has criticized the selling of the cocktail claiming the suffering of bomb attack victims, who have been maimed or killed, should not be celebrated in such a way.

"I would have expected Americans, of all people, to behave more sensitively and responsibly. How would they like it if we developed the Al-Qaeda car bomb, the Twin Towers cocktail, or the 9/11 ice-cream sundae?"

That's a real concern and I feel that, but personally, I would LOOOOOL if they developed those drinks. Fair game.

The secret ingredient in the Twin Towers cocktail is Busch, obv

Also: "I would have expected Americans, of all people, to behave more sensitively and responsibly." Oh word?

Lar, you rule, per, uh, always.

BUSCH + some bitters + a side shot of Republic Tequila from Texas

It's great if you like putting garbage in your mouth. Waste of three kinds of good booze.

I've accused those who won't drink an Irish Car Bomb of being pro-colonialism dickbags.

As a person of Irish decent I consider it racist. It is also a disgusting waste of good beer and good whiskey each which should be consumed separately. You can keep the Bailey's to pour in your grandmother's coffee. I am 100% right on this.
