Drinking
There are a number of ways to drink a boilermaker:
- Traditionally, the liquor is shot in a single gulp and is chased by the beer, which is sipped or drank normally.
- The liquor and beer may be mixed by pouring or dropping the shot into the beer. The mixture may be stirred, if desired. If the shot is dropped in, the drink is known as a depth charge.
- The liquor may be poured directly into an open beer bottle or can after removing some of the beer.

Drinker of horizon’s fluid line;

The spirit drinking timelessness;
Touch, love, all senses;”

And drinking largely sobers us again.”
