U.S. President George Bush enjoys a cold drink in historic Heiligendamm, Germany, Thursday, June 7, 2007.


U.S. President George Bush, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Premier Tony Blair, Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi and EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso enjoy a cold drink in historic Heiligendamm, Germany, Thursday, June 7, 2007. The leaders of the G8 nations are holding their annual summit in the sea resort on June 6-8, 2007.

That liquid looks like beer to me.

1. Too frothy on top to be apple juice, and who drinks tea from a beer stein?

[Kadie]

21. Definitely not apple juice - here is another pic

25. Trying to get an ogle of the Frau?

:puke:

[helderheid]

31. Anyone know the brand of that bottle? It's clearly beer.

[helderheid]

38. Apparently there is a low alcohol and a non-alcohol version.

Which one is George drinking?

[demobabe]

39. How can it say "Non-Alcoholic" if it's 3% beer?

Isn't that like "half-beer?"

Regular beer is 6% I thought...

[DrDebug]

49. 0.5%. The score is 3% i.e. it tastes like dishwater

One of the first low alcoholic beers. It's pasteurized Heineken. If you ever tasted real milk and then tasted pasteurized milk, you'll know what it does to taste.

3% is the score which is pretty low.
The lowest score on that site is ... of course ... Busch NA (Bush Non-Alcohol?)

60. Ah! Thanks for the explanation.

Sounds yummy (not).

:puke:

[seemslikeadream]

34. Who said I was a DRY DRUNK?

[eNeko]

36. low alcohol is stil alcoholic

[dogday]

2. Bush says " If I wasn't such a beer drinker, I would swear this is piss"

:rofl:

[glowing]

3. Man, he doesn't even hide the fact that he's a lush now.

That is a beer, and I don't think its O'duls

[myrna minx]

4. Bush, a beer and his close proximity to Chancellor Merkel, does not bode well..n/t

[Virginia Dare]

5. Yep, it's beer alright...

he'll probably be under the table within an hour or so...every picture I see of him at the G8, he looks like he's at a yacht party or something. What a useless oaf.

[City Lights]

6. Looks like beer to me too.

But then again, I have no idea what fake beer looks like.

[speedoo]

7. The lower picture shows the bottle.

I suppose it could be non-alcoholic beer.

At least that's what a freeper would argue.

[karlrschneider]

10. I can't imagine NA beer is even legal in Germany!

:-)

[jmowreader]

15. It is. They sell it at truck stops.

At Green Week one year I tried a non-alcoholic beer. (I have an alibi: after nine European beers in three hours, a 145-pound man is NOT going to notice the "Bier ohne Alkohol" inscription on the booth.) It was a very good beer--much better than Bud.

[karlrschneider]

23. LOL! Well, to be accurate, ratpiss is better than Bud.

:D

[Eurobabe]

44. It is legal here and sold in all stores, they sell it at soccer

games to keep the fans from getting too rowdy. There are several different kinds. Not that I would ever drink it. Hell no.

And Bush ain't drinking it either.

[partylessinOhio]

13. Woa! Look at the head on this glass. Anyone recognize the label?

[Stardust]

14. Buckler : non-alcoholic beer (and good, too)

[blogslut]

19. nevermind

:)

[blogslut]

20. You are correct

Buckler Beer:

[El Supremo]

8. Beer? It's a boilermaker!

[monmouth]

9. Germany.....Beer.....Whodda thunk it???

[Rob H.]

11. So by calling it a "cold drink"

are we supposed to believe that he's in Germany and he's not helping himself to some German beer? Yeah. That's believable.

[tandot]

12. It IS beer. And he'll get drunk pretty fast since it is so much stronger than

American beer.

I bet my ass he'll do something really stupid after drinking a couple of these...oh wait, he is always doing stupid stuff anyways.

[lse7581011]

26. But Is It Non Alcoholic Like O'Douls? n/t

[tandot]

28. How would we know if that is what is REALLY in his glass?

He had years of experience hiding his coke habit when he was younger.

[partylessinOhio]

16. I don't know the sequence of the photos but * looks a little tilted here:

[City Lights]

22. That grin tells me he's got something warm runnin' down his leg. eom

[Stinky The Clown]

30. Who's his tailor?

Look at those sleeves. Is he trying to hide the marks from dragging his knuckles when he walks?

[ProgressiveFool]

17. I wonder if they're sitting around playing "Asshole" nt

[Bitwit1234]

18. Dang dang your post is mine idea exactly

it sure does look like beer.

[troubleinwinter]

24. "Hey, Jeeves...

bring me a beer and set an empty Buckler's bottle on the table for the photographers."

[UTUSN]

27. Besides the booze, his slouch is a dead give-away!!1 n/t

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

29. STILL drunk!

I wonder if he's working on both of those glasses in front of him.

48. You'd think that with 4 years of German in high school and two years in college ...

... I wouldn't need to use an online translator, wouldn't ya? (sigh) Well, I'm a sad case ... I even fell flat on my Gesicht in Heidelberg trying to articulate the simplest of thoughts.

Ich bin ein dummer Esel. :dunce:

[Eurobabe]

51. Nein, du bist einen kleinen Schnalksnarr

[Ilsa]

42. I bet there is no such thing as nonalcoholic beer in Germany. nt

[Eurobabe]

45. There is, and it tastes better than all the normal American swill

like Bud, Miller, etc.

But I don't drink it regularly, make mine a Doppelbock. :toast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bock

[partylessinOhio]

43. Don't tell me he isn't high on something.

These photographers did a great job documenting the Imbiber!

[paparush]
