Real Drinkers (tm) do all sorts of things refined folk would never do. Putting the whisky in the beer is far from the worst, I assure you. By the way, my all-time favorite drink for True Pros is straight gin with a warm beer wash. It's been about 25 years since I did it myself, but it's a surprisingly tasty way to get unconsciously (well, at least unconscionably) blotto in a very short time.
Since we are talking booze, here's a punch recipe that is not quite so treacle-sweet as it sounds, but as it has nothing in it other than ice that isn't alcoholic, it's truly lethal. You don't even know you're going to be drunk until it's way too late to avoid it.
One fifth of orange Curacao.
One fifth of 80-proof vodka (cheap will do).
One gallon of dry white wine (semi-cheap will do).
Decorate with orange slices, but use no juice.
Start with ingredients iced. Add ice to the bowl before
serving. I've always had a fondness for the recipe because I
served it at a party that was quite quickly the nicest orgy I've
ever attended.
