drinking a beer with a raw egg in it

i have done this with orange juice.

apparently an Orange Julius had raw egg in it at one time

i remember i was watching the wire w/ my parents & the dockworkers do this in season 2, asked them about it & my mom said was def a real thing among certain hard drinkers

she grew up outside boston & the verdict takes place there - lol maybe its one of our absurd provincial things that migrated?

(tbf shouldnt say "our" as i'm a transplant)

put hair on yr chest

you can just taste the antihero grittiness though, for real

i have never seen or done this but it sounds worth trying at least once. what kind of beer do u think it would work best w/? a stout i'm guessing?

maybe i don't like eggs enough or am just a traditionalist when it comes to beer drinking, but this seems dumb. why would i drink a beer with an egg in it when i can just drink a beer WITHOUT an egg in it?

xp a stout actually sounds like a good idea bc of the orange julius quality. the whites probably make it frothy like a pisco sour. but they always use a light beer on screen.

it's probably worth trying, but I'm saving it for, if not absolute rock bottom, at least a local minimum

not really talking about putting beaten eggs in a beer but this maybe sounds good https://tasteinspired.wordpress.com/2011/01/30/red-beer-red-eye/

I only know of this through the lyrics of the Devo song Social Fools and it sounds pretty weird.

raw eggs are rich in cysteine: Cysteine has been proposed as a preventative or antidote for some of the negative effects of alcohol, including liver damage and hangover. It counteracts the poisonous effects of acetaldehyde, which is the major byproduct of alcohol metabolism and is responsible for most of the negative after effects and long-term damage associated with alcohol use (but not the immediate effects of drunkenness). Cysteine supports the next step in metabolism, which turns acetaldehyde into the relatively harmless acetic acid.

egg in your beer: A bonus, something for nothing, as in What do you want—egg in your beer? This expression dates from about 1940 and became widespread during World War II. The origin is unknown, since adding egg to beer does not improve the taste.

Red beer (Beery Mary, whatever) is delicious. Never tried the vodka & egg version. Sounds gross, but I have a deep aversion to the texture of raw egg. Yeesh. Just thinking about it gives me fantods.

pretty sure people do this almost exclusively with lagers, but my first thought was an oyster stout because of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairie_oyster_%28cocktail%29

reminds me of this.

i realize this is a legit thing but asking me this question is kinda like asking "eating a hamburger with hair gel smeared on it - c/d"

wait so do you realize this is a legit thing because you've seen someone do it?

nah it's cos drunkies think it's a hangover cure

Does an idiotically conceived shit mix count?

good thing he didn't ruin those eggs by pouring a beer onto them

Didn't Keith Moon (as Uncle Ernie) do this in Tommy?

Yup:

not the best technique

Just thinking about this makes me queasy, although it might be good if it were blended in.

that sounds worse.

people think eggs are gross

mayo is good and beer with an egg is potentially good. beer with mayo? sure, why not? it's just eggs with more stuff.
