so whats with drinking metal?

why would anyone want to drink booze with gold flakes in it?

yeah i know it tastes good, but how does gold add anything to that? surely you'd be better off filtering the gold out before you drink it? :/ :confused:

You mean goldschlager? They're not flakes of metal/gold anymore though they used to be. iirc the idea is that the metal cuts the inside of your throat on the way down and allows the alcohol to directly enter your blood stream, thus getting you drunk quicker.

hm. sounds like an urban myth to me.

Yeah, I added an edit to my post ages ago

it can't have been that long ago if the post doesn't even register the edit.

Think it gives a couple of minutes after you initially post before registering the edit..?

yeah, so you must have edited it within a couple of minutes... so hardly "ages ago"
