This product is for Alcoholics that want a system that helps
them to quit drinking.
Lottery Beer is a real beer like any other. The difference is
not all of the bottles contain beer.
Some bottles are filled with a "Deterrent Beverage"
so foul tasting that you feel like you need to use a power
washer on your mouth.
Thus you begin to associate a miserable experience with
drinking and the deprogramming begins.
The brewery will issue beer in cycles so for example the
first cycle of beer released for sale will have something
like a 9-1 ratio of real beer vs deterrent beverage.
Cycle Two would have a 7-3 real beer vs deterrent
beverage mix.
Cycle Three would get to 50/50
and so on until you reach a cycle where you are attempting
to drink deterrent beverage every attempt you make.
As the Cycle number increases so does the foulness
intensity of the Deterrent Beverages. A Deterrent
Beverage in Cycle One is less disgusting than a Deterrent
Beverage in Cycle Three.

Do you have any idea of the level of desperation an
alcoholic can reach? Serious addicts will put things
inside themselves more awful than any Deterrent
Beverage. As for the less serious, what prevents
them from drinking non-lottery beer? |
|
| |
This idea might
work for those whose craving is mild enough that
they don't cheat (if you could even call them
"alcoholics"), though Antabuse would be easier. |
|
| |
But, lottery beer would be like one free 24 pack in every hundred cases sold or something.
This is... well I'm not sure what, but something more like; 'HaHa you hosed yourself' beer. |
|

It's just not going to catch on.
I like the old gypsy cure of giving the better-half some herbs sprinkled in the evening grub to make the drunker-half violently ill if he/she over consumes. |

This is definitely Baked by a number of UK brewers, and widely available at retail outlets in a variety of packages. |

mmmm- misread *detergent beverage* - that could stop someone from drinking. "I'll wash your mouth out with soap!!" |
|
| |
As an alcoholic I can tell you no such deterrence will
be effective. If I let myself drink again I would try 40
bottles of swill in hopes of getting 1 bottle of beer
under your system.
The only effective
deterrents are consequences directly linked to
getting drunk and for many alcoholics those have to
be downright life threatening and worse before
they'll stop. |

How about a product where some bottles contain
real beer, and some bottles contain an identical
tasting non-alchocolic beer? |
|
| |
It wouldn't act as a deterrent, as such, but it would
make it less likely that one would get drunk. |
