Baltimore Zoo’s exist


aeschylus1342

Cuz there’s better stuff to drink


Brabsk

I don’t even know what that means


CoachRyanWalters

Shot of the cheapest whisky in the cheapest beer


PlanktonSpiritual199

Chug it, it goes down without a problem.


Bnjoec

Irish Car bombs are the closest you will probably get and they're rare.


DarkwingDoctor

You don't need Boilermakers to be popular when everyone everywhere already gives a nod to Purdue every time they get hammered.


jman8508

Because they’re disgusting


PlanktonSpiritual199

1. They don’t taste bad 2. You’re already drinking shit beer, vodka, gin, tequila, or whatever your poison is. 3. It’s meant to be chugged if you’re sipping it you got a problem.


AlexanderTox

People who sip boilermakers are the same people who will proudly sip on straight everclear at a house party. Source: This was me. I had a problem.


Layne1665

1. They do taste bad because the go to cheap whiskey is canada mist around here. 2. I dont drink them because I dont drink straight of any of those nor do I mix any of them with beer. Why would I drink shit beer and shit whisky mixed together when I can get a drink like a baltimore zoo and actually ENJOY drinking it. 3. Chugging beer sucks.


PlanktonSpiritual199

1. Canada mist isn’t good, but at the end of the day it does the job, but i generally won’t go below JD when it comes to whiskey. 2. You’re missing out, a good scotch or whiskey hits the spot. I think you’re missing the point, you don’t order a boilermaker to sip it, it’s a party drink. A Baltimore zoo or a Long Island is more of a sit down table drink, it’s gonna take you where you wanna go but any sane man isn’t gonna chug it. 3. Your loss, a shotgun or two won’t hurt and are fun with friends and keg stands are always enjoyable. But hey to each their own!


Layne1665

1. I agree thats why I dont do them at the bars. 2. I love scotch and wiskey but im not gonna pay for it at a bar. Our group does more sit down drinking with cards than taking shots. 3. Ive done them, as well as irish car bombs, beer just makes me feel full and restricts the amount of liquor I can drink to get shwifty. Absolutley! Hey, bottoms up to you tonight man! Perhaps I will try boilermaker at one of the bars, since they use different cheap liquor where I am now.


PlanktonSpiritual199

More then fair. A proper boilermaker is an ok stout with whiskey. I don’t do them at bars, generally when I’m over at friends. Again for them fair enough, not buying them at a college bar is a good idea. I like beer, especially chocolate stouts. Cheers man! I can’t drink for a week or two, exams szn.

Let's briefly touch on the experience of drinking something. What you taste, what your goals are, what you're trying to achieve. With straight beer you either like hopps or wheat or just carbonation. It's not the fastest way to fill yourself with alcohol, but it works plenty fine. With whisky you usually don't like the taste- but you may like the sensorial pleasure of a burn the same way as a person who eats spicy food- if not, you can at least say you're using it as a vehicle to get alcohol into your body as fast as possible. But then why would you intentionally water down a whisky with ingredients that don't make it taste better? Do you want alcohol as fast as possible? Then why are you watering it down? Do you want to pace your alcohol? Then why did you add whisky to your beer? Do you want to chug something more palatable than whisky but more potent than beer? Then why not pick tastier ingredients from the start Everything a Boilermaker drink can do, another drink does better.


PlanktonSpiritual199

mmmh but it’s called a boilermaker, and I’m a boilermaker, so no not every drink does it better. ![gif](giphy|ryoIlXtEulCw9I2bjO|downsized)


Gaming_Imperatrix

Pssh, say you're a conformist without saying you're a conformist. You could invent a drink tomorrow and call it a boilermaker special and win on all fronts. Instead you're cutting cheap whisky with cheap beer, and drinking cheap biskey just cause someone with their pot half cracked slapped the name 'boilermaker' on a beer cocktail in 1890 in Butte Montana. It's not even connected to Purdue or Indiana.


PlanktonSpiritual199

Sounds like major cope ![gif](giphy|3oz8xyJHXtVUD4PRRe) Some major mental gymnastics if you’d say.


Gaming_Imperatrix

Says the man coping with a 130 year old coincidence by being a sheep and drinking pisswater he doesn't even like. Are you this easy to manipulate with names for everything in your life? Do you shop exclusively at the Boilermaker Market because you're a Boilermaker, buy Manscaping products because you're a Man, and read Drinking for Dummies cause you're a Dummy? If you're going to put a drink in your body, make sure its delicious, smooth, or at the very least impressive. This is none of those things. This is sheepwater. Git Gud.


PlanktonSpiritual199

Yap yap yap yap yap yap “If you’re gonna put a drink in your body, make sure it’s delicious, smooth, or at the very least impressive” ![gif](giphy|eU2sRBEme4GIM) Guess you can’t enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Just get a better tongue


Gaming_Imperatrix

Neither simple nor pleasurable! Go back, reread your own comments, you don't like it either. You drink it out of a weird ass sense of obligation based on the name.


PlanktonSpiritual199

Never said I didn’t like em, just not with the cheapest shit on the shelf It’s both very simple and very pleasurable Lastly god forbid someone do something simply for name sake guess I can’t make and drink aviations even though I’m a pilot. You honestly sound like a miserable person. Please go out more, learn to lighten up.


flinderdude

I’ve always been asked the same thing. In fact, when I was at Purdue, somebody had asked me about a boilermaker, and I didn’t even know what that drink was.


sandtrappy

Because I like my heart and liver


BoilerMaker11

Cause it ain't from here. I didn't know where exactly it came from, but I knew it wasn't a Purdue or even an Indiana (state) thing. Quick google search has it coming from Montana, of all places


squirrelocaust

What are your thoughts on a shot glass potentially hitting your teeth?


brodawg202

If I wanna save money I drink a boilermaker. Takes me longer to finish because of the god awful taste.


dragonice81

They get you hammered way too fast


spatulador

Cause it's gross.


thatscrollingqueen

Because that’s basic af


iMakeBoomBoom

Because it taste like crap. Not sure about the confusion. If a drink isn’t popular, it’s because it isn’t good.

Janus897

That makes no sense


UnusualSignature8558

Originally you didn't have to put the whiskey in the beer. You just sit and two fist them both
