Talk:Jägerbomb

message: The biggest problem facing the Jägerbomb article revolves around its origins. The claim made by Razzoo's is dubious at best and fraudulent advertising material at worst.
Anyone with any supportable claims as to its origins in various countries - please contribute.
This bit under "variations" is actually a lead to the origin, AFAICS: "The 'U-båt' (submarine in Norwegian) in which the Red Bull is replaced with beer." It's the other way around; I've had U-Boats in Sweden in the early or mid-eighties, before Red Bull even existed. It's obviously this new-fangled "Jägerbomb" that is a variation on the U-Boat theme, where the beer has been replaced with Red Bull. And a rather obvious variation it is too, once you'd started using the energy drink in mixed drinks in the first place. CRConrad (talk) 22:33, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin

message: It is referred to as a "Jäger-Bull" in German speaking countries, as well as in English Bar chain Wetherspoon's. In Austria it is called "Flying Hirsch", where Hirsch means deer in German and is inspired by the Jägermeister logo.
I´m from germany and i´ve never heard someone ordering a jäger-bull, maybe it´s Bavarian, as far as i know it´s called "Flying Hirsch", but i have never seen somebody ordering something that disgusting.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.136.247.169 (talk • contribs).
I'm from Germany and nobody even drinks this over here but stupid teenagers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E4:5BD7:400:799F:D1F9:1A5B:572A (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

message: This video is probably the worst thing to happen to the jägerbomb article. It's invited so much vandalism, but I think it would be a mistake to ignore it. I think it's more than enough to have that point in the pop culture section how they are the protagonist's favourite drink etc, but anything more than that is just unnecessary. Also, a synonym is a word that can be used in place of another word; thus "fucking skank" is not synonym for "jägerbomb". If you went up to a bar and ordered a "fucking skank", I doubt your bartender would pour you a jägerbomb.ScottMacGregor1985 06:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think nutritionists would also argue that the combination of alcohol and caffeine has a greater effect on the liver than the two taken separately, so Jagerbombs would lead to increased risk of cancer and other diseases.  Can anyone find a citation for this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.100.85 (talk) 19:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Controversy

message: I've removed this:
:However, nutritionists take a grimmer view of the alcohol-caffeine combination. They point to the fact that both caffeine and alcohol are diuretics which dehydrate the body. Therefore, excessive consumption of an alcohol-caffeine combination can lead to greater hangovers and possible death due to severe dehydration.
The cited source was "Energy Drinks & Alcohol"; Nutrition, U. Mass. Dining Services (Caffeine);  .
I've confirmed that the page supports what was in the article (via an archive.org posting; there seems to be some sort of database error on the original page). But a website of the Dining Services department of a university is not a reliable source, particularly given that the university is no doubt trying to discourage reckless drinking. (I've worked at the University of California at Berkeley; I'm familiar with Dining Services departments.) 
I have no objection to the information being reposted if a better source can be found, but I'm doubtful, since it's a myth that caffeinated drinks cause dehydration.  -- John Broughton   (♫♫) 20:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Red Bull

message: I was out the other evening and a chap introduced me to a variation on the Jaegerbomb he called a "hand grenade", prepared thus:
* slosh some Red Bull into a half-pint glass
* balance a shot glass of Jaegermeister and a shot glass of sambuca against each other in the mouth of the half-pint glass
* remove the glass of sambuca (the pin) so the glass of Jaegermeister falls into the Red Bull (setting off the Jaegerbomb)
* neck the sambuca
* chug the Jaegerbomb.
A classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Has anyone else tried this? Opera hat (talk) 23:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

message: When I had my first jagerbomb, an old man at the bar started counting down from ten. I wasn't sure why, but when he reached 3 I realized I was about to unleash an explosion of vomit.
The old man seemed to know Jagerbomb's can cause vomiting, but I haven't seen it mentioned in the article, and I can't find any sources. Comments, anyone? 98.127.103.46 (talk) 17:47, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vomiting 

message: It says right on the Red Bull can, in the "cautions" section, that it should not be mixed with alcohol.   Should/could that be included in this article?  It is my understanding that some bars leave it to the patrons to mix the two elements after they are served, to avoid liability?  I don't drink alcohol, only Red Bull (and I can't stop) so I am not sure about this.

message: Hello!Chances are, I've been mispronouncing it all my life, but according to me, the correct pronunciation would be /ˈdʒɑgə(ɹ)ˌbɑm/, right?greetings,--El Mono Español (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard the name spoken only by English speakers, and I've only heard them say it with /jeɪ/, reflecting the German pronunciation rather than an English spelling pronunciation like the one used for Löwenbräu (which rhymes with "Bowen cow", whereas an adaptation of the German pronunciation might rhyme with "Kevin boy"). Largoplazo (talk) 17:56, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your reply! Yes I thought that, that maybe /-je/ was a 'phonemic calque' from German language. It is quite possible that I am wrong since I am not an expert in German or English phonology, but as far as I know, /r/ represents the Italian or Spanish R, while in German predominates guttural R (/ʁ/), and in English predominates /ɹ/ or sometimes this sound is canceled /(ɹ)/. So maybe it should be /ˈjeɪɡə(ɹ)ˌbɒm/? --El Mono Español (talk) 22:40, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the English treatment of the  in that name is the same as it as in the unstressed  ending of any morpheme. So it would be appropriate to treat that sequence as we do in other articles. Off the top of my head, I don't know whether that's to provide both UK and US pronunciation or to treat it as a parenthetical as you propose, but I'm supposing either way is acceptable.
