Good ole' Mountain Dew should take the prize as an unannounced contender, if the theme is alchoholic beverage-inspired soda drinks. :D

Root Beer because you can drink it when warm. Ginger Ale is nasty when it's not ice cold.

Ah, but you can successfully make an ice cream float with Root Beer.

And root beer isn't half bad with Rum. Root Beer wins.

Ginger ale. Root Beer makes me angry because it's not beer.

Ginger beer is damn gingery. I always say I shouldn't buy again after half a bottle, but I always miss it once the bottle is empty. Evil ginger beer!

Real Ginger ale > Ginger Beer > Root beer > generic ginger ale. If you've ever had real ginger ale though, you'd think differently. My dad buys some for his bar that is like $4 a bottle, made with real ginger, and tastes nothing like the crap you get in store.. The store bought crap doesn't have real ginger in it.

As a soda it's a toss up. As a mixed drink base, ginger ale all the way. And ginger beer (non-alcoholic) wins over both of them.

Have you ever had real root beer? I'm not talking about that Barq's crap.

Where can we get some of this real ginger ale?
