Turbo Shandy

At a friend's stag do, almost a year ago now, Banderama was extolling the virtues of drinking Becks with Smirnoff Ice. I'm not sure whether it was as a result of my inebriated state at the time (or whether anything seemed interesting after the 17th game of "slammers, sliders and [arse] spiders") but the concoction actually tasted OK - though I was somewhat concerned about its side effects when Banderama lost the power of speech later that night. Last night, I discovered from a friend from work that the cocktail is known as "Turbo Shandy". Apparently any beer plus smirnoff ice (aka "bitchpiss") will do, but as I drunkenly informed my assembled work colleagues yesterday, a true Turbo Shandy connossieur would only ever use Becks. I then demonstrated that the only acceptable method of consumption was to put both bottles to one's lips simultaneously (as opposed to mixing them in a bottle) and DRINK... WARNING: Another side effect of excessive amounts of Turbo Shandy is the misconception that going to a cheesy nightclub on a school night with a bunch of 20 year old secretaries and vac students is a good idea. As Roger Murtaugh said to Martin Riggs: "I'm getting too old for this shit".
