Ban
the Fat Frog
A
NORTHSIDE TD has called for a new 'designer' drink to
be banned from Dublin pubs.
According to Deputy Martin Brady (FF), the 'Fat Frog'
cocktail is increasing in popularity, particularly among
young drinkers. He claimed the new drink fad is worrying
because the alcohol content in it is extremely high
and has the ability to render the drinker incapacitated
very quickly.
"The
'Fat Frog' combines several 'alco-pops' mixed in the
one pint glass," said Mr Brady. "At a cost
of around e15, they are capable of getting drinkers
extremely intoxicated very quickly and this fad must
be stopped now before it spirals out of control. To
drink three types of alco-pops in one glass is nothing
other than stupid and dangerous."
Deputy Brady said that having worked in the bar trade
for over 10 years he witnessed at first hand the emergence
of designer drinks and alco-pops.
"I
believe the onus is on the publican to be vigilant and
sensible when it comes to serving 'Fat Frogs' and alco-pops
in general," said Mr Brady. "The Fat Frog
fad will take off if publicans continue to serve them
so I appeal to publicans to stop it now for the sake
of us all as a nation which has a gigantic drinking
problem."
