Wouldn't the lemonade in the half pint reduce the amount of larger though? Unless it's half a punt if lager with the lemonade on top which wouldn't then.be half a pint if shandy.

Now larger and Pepsi Max, there's a real drink.

Add a shot of Amaretto to make it a Dr Pepper.

Anyway, half a lager on its own or with another half a pint of lemonade on top is the same strength of alcohol.

Went through a phase of doing this when I was young - larger + coke + Amaretto = Good Time Juice™

What if I put the paracetamol in my shandy?

It's the same amount of alcohol but not the same strength surely?

I’m still waiting for the ‘larger as in the drink larger’ joke explanation, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
