You know the guys at the bar, you can tell who plays pool and who just shoots around by what they order, or who they talk to.

There is only one official drink of a billiard player.

What drink should that be?
 
what are you , the Highlander ? THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE !!

Jeez , I always try to mix it up . . .
Coke , Pepsi , Royal Crown Cola
Iced tea , ginger ale , lemonade
Monster if you've been shooting more than 10 hours straight


"JTS Brown , no ice , no glass" if you're looking for a reason to lose !
 
Wait , for Justnum , it's probably

"glass of tap water , please "

no tip , steal the glass !!

Just a glass of tap water, I make it point that I get my glass with a straw. And another glass with just ice, so I can keep the water cool for awhile.

Seems like Mountain Dew works well for Johnny Archer :)

Black coffee....no sugar
How else could I gamble full tilt for 3 days?
 
A pitcher of coke seems to prevail in Phoenix. But there is no telling what is added later to charge it up.
 
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....slurp

We should ask the official drink to give 10% of profits from vending at our events, back to us in any form that will promote our sport.

Also 5% to help build schools for the impoverished.

There are only oh what millions of pool players all around the world, who wouldn't want to be the official drink? It's about time we get a good supporter for this oh so beautiful sport.
 
A brief message from NPR about water. Tin foil hats optional.

Facts you should know about water. Dihydrogen monoxide or DHMO is its chemical name.
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
may cause severe burns.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The Horror Must Be Stopped!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
 
I like diet Coke with a lemon and lime, no ice.

And for those who drink light beer, you have to be kidding. A huge guy looked at my Guiness stout and remarked yuck. Then I looked at his light beer and said piss water, the drink of pussies. We had a good laugh.

It would have to be beer.
For most pool players, one paid for by someone else.
 
Royal tea

Crown royal,rum,peach schnapps,sweet n sour,cola all in one glass...:thumbup:

Whatever drink finally coughs up some sponsership money.

Ron Northcott, one of the best curlers ever used to curl out of a club that I curled out of in juniors. One day he goes into the clubs bar and orders a Labbats Blue beer, the club claims they no longer sell Labbats, this is at the time that Labbats was still the sponser of the Brier, the biggest curling event in Canada. Ron was not impressed and let them know, Labbats was back in the club in about a week

That is the thing about sponsership, it is a "you scratch our back and we will scratch yours" relationship. Both parties benefit, I am not certain that pool promoters have figured this out and thus they cannot market the sport to possible sponsers and show the return on investment that can be obtained, such as a certain brand of beer being sold at an event, pool halls connected to a potential tour in qualifiers both stocking and prefferentially advertising that product, ect...

With pool players and the like I more see "give us money so we can play pool for big prizes". The flip side of a proper sponser/sport relationship seems lost on this sport and the people in it atm, it is more then just a name tagged onto the sport or mentioned by the announcers at the start of a match, and thus we have no real sponsership in this sport.

Agree, I'm formulating some new fangled chalk. It will have a layer of Master, Master pre-flag, and Blue Diamond. The slogan is 'your tip is layered, why not your chalk'. :-)

Back to the thread. I think the official drink of a billiard player should be JTS Brown in a glass, but you better get it at Johnny's.
