'Stones' now make a Ginger Beer (about 4.75 alc. vol) that is so excellent that I'm considering starting a petition which forgives them for the calamity which their green ginger wine inflicted on Australia a few decades ago.
In a drink created about 1977 by Mike Lovett and David Fairburn of London Scottish Rugby Union Club called a 'Toolkit' you start with a half pint glass:add a vodka and orange, a dark rum, a Stone's Green Ginger, a Jamieson's whisky, and a brandy.
The colour is a 'dusky orange', it tastes good, and after three or so of them you are feeling decidely merry.
The good thing about them is that you don't end up with a hangover the next morning although some people have reported symptoms of unicornitis as if there was a spike growing out through the top of their head.
I think that in this time of economic woes most people could not afford to drink three of these.
Good God no, I don't have time for a job, I'd only just worked my way through the readable content of the average library and bookshop when they invented the internet and the home computer.
I suggest you avoid Deepest Neepnot, its where they make all conspiracy theorists go* and given your current frame of mind I'm not sure that would be at all wise.
*Apologies, in advance, to all our readers from Deepest Neepnot.

It certainly watches your money, I'll give it that.
What? Send carrot waves out and measure their return times?
:P
