	Oh boy is ginger beer  _not_  just ginger ale by a different
name. Ginger ale is drinkable, in a pinch; I'd rate it tied with, say,
cola, and well before Dr. Pepper, but well behind bitter lemon, or even
straight tonic water. Ginger beer, on the other hand rates right up
there with champagne on my list of things to drink. Ginger beer is to ginger
ale as stout is to light beer. Unfortunately you can expect to pay as
much for it as for real beer, and may get carded (although it is not 
alcoholic). Good stuff, but not for those who don't like strong tastes.
