The little airline bottles of alcohol could be taken one step further. Individual packets of alcohol, like fast-food mayonaise packets, would have exactly one (or maybe 1/2) shot of your favorite spirit. This would facilitate quick and easy drink creations and would be extremely portable.

Months later, I find them. Apparently they must be native to South Africa, after all. [cswiii, May 23 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]

Seems like alcohol isn't viscous enough for foil packets. How about putting it in those plastic ampoules that some drugs come in? You would just break off the top and pour. |
|
| |
How about this: the ampoule could be like the cartridge at the bottom of a can of Guinness, only you put it in a can of tonic and fill it with Gin or Vodka. (Fresher taste that the canned cocktails they already sell in eastern Europe.) |
|
| |
What about gelcaps? Wouldn't even need to mix a drink: just pop a few. Wasn't this the basis for the "instant wine" I remember from a few years ago? |
|

Baked. A friend of mine from South Africa came to the states, a few years ago. In his duffel bag were about 100 little sachets of various rums and vodkas... made the summer go by a little bit easier... |

However, it's true that I've never seen these sold in America. We prolly have blue laws against em or something. Or maybe some lobbying group. *grumble*. |

Uh, aren't the minibottles good enough? |

In the UK we have Sidekicks which are a shot of different flavour Schnapps in a plastic shot glass, with a lid sealed on. Kind of a similar idea i guess. They also have slots in the bottom of the glass so they can sit on the side of a pint glass |
|
| |
wel, thats the english fer you |
|

Sidekicks are only one of many marketing ploys used in England to cut down the time actually spent drinking and maximize how pissed you can get. Every time I go into my local off-licence there is a different wee funny coloured glass of something else called Dynamte, or Mule Kick or something, usually a white spirit. Disgusting. |
|
| |
Don't drink white spirit. You'll go blind. Or die with an incredible headache. |
|
| |
Buy your drinks in larger quantities and save on packaging. |
|
| |
Also, a jigger is the device used to measure out a shot of drink. |
|
| |
Well, I live in South Carolina, where all bars and restaurants can only sell liquor in mini-bottles. It's expensive, hard to stock, and a big headache (especially if you drink enough of them!). As soon as we go to "free pour," the airlines will have a hard time finding suppliers. |

Wish they sold beer in theatres in Canada. It would certainly make sitting through a kid’s movie a bit more enjoyable. (Heavy sigh) |

2fries: You know you're on the wrong page, right? Although, smuggle some rum TotPaks in and buy yourself a coke & problem solved. |
|

I, um. Oops.
No wait. I - I meant jiggers of beer. Yeah that's it. Jiggers. |
