What is it about Ginger Ale carbonation that makes me cough everytime I try to drink it?

[aphex]

Everytime I pour a glass of Ginger Ale, the carbonation makes me cough and spit it out, sometimes I can't even get my mouth close enough to drink it, I cough before I can.

I usually have to pour a glass, then let it sit for 2-3 minutes until I can drink it.

Am I alone here?

Ah, ATOT, where things are taken far too literally and Apple products are universally reviled. Clearly the ginger ale is too masculine for you, you barrel-chested, Apple-using girly man (who may or may not be alone).

Have you tried stirring it with a straw after pouring? It releases some of the carbonation, flattens the soda out faster. Also, is it only one particular brand, or is it all ginger ales?

what is it about ginger ale that i always have to get it as an in-flight beverage on an airplane?

The OP drinks only Moose Fart brand.

It's in the bubbles, the strong, soiled taste of the Canadian Northwest!

Are you drinking Vernors?
If not that's your problem.

I prefer the term girly men.

And I thought most sissies prefer the term metrosexual.

They do, so we call them girly men.

You know, I'd guess the ginger exacerbated by the carbonation is making you cough, except that there is so little actual ginger in commerical ginger ale.

Go get a premium, so-called Ginger Beer*. They're a thousand times superior, anyway. Since they contain copious amounts of actual ginger together with carbonation, you'd soon know if the ginger was your problem.






*Ginger Beer seems to simply be the commercial name for far higher grade Ginger Ale, with enough ginger in it that you notice! Nothing alcoholic about either.

And Ginger Beer rawks! :thumbsup:

Better yet, buy a 12 pack of Miller High Life and 6 pounds of fresh ginger root. Wash and peel the ginger root yourself, finely dice it, and put roughly half a pound in a pint glass. Pour a bottle of High Life over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then consume. Do this 12 times. If you are still alive, congratulations, you have beaten death.

I'm allergic to ginger. I found out going to the Vernor?s Ginger ale plant in Detroit. Just walking into the customer service area caused me to sneeze uncontrollably and make my eyes water. The funny thing is that I can drink it in small amounts like in an ice-cream float.

I, for one, prefer the term dandy fop.

Nancy boy is also a popular descriptive phrase.

I've never had that problem.
I drink scotch and ginger regularly.

If you've already graduated high school, however, ignore the above.

Cod walloper is a distinctive if archaic localism.
