        Recently I went to the hospital for a surgery. It was scheduled for 0630 and they told me no food or drink after 1800 the previous night. I heeded that. At 1100 they told me they were cancelling the surgery.

        I said “does this mean I can have some water?” They laughed and brought me 28oz of ginger ale. It was delicious.

          Ginger beer is the 🐐. The 365 ginger ale at whole foods (if they still make it, haven’t had it in like a decade) used to be the only tolerable ginger ale on the market that actually tasted like ginger.

                It’s cause there’s significantly more fresh ginger in them, and I believe more sugar? It’s a mixer soda for the most part but a ginger beer is pretty good in the morning with a couple bitters and some lime for a hangover too.

            Everywhere. It’s usually with the mixers for cocktails. It’s a ginger beer, not a ginger ale.
