I think the latter will irritate the small intestine because there won't be as many solids to carry it lower in the digestive tract. I wouldn't drink it. I'd be afraid of the effects on pancreas, gall bladder, liver. Might even worry about urinary tract.

I'm a pass on this one. That's pass, not piss.

To each their own, but honestly that sounds disgusting. I'll stick to good ol' diet ginger ale.

It's different than ginger ale. The beer version has much more ginger and sugar. The ginger taste is very strong.

I'd try the buffalo wing soda if it came in a diet variety.
