Given that Jägermeister is something that, in Germany, old and staid people drink to aid their digestion after a meal, it never ceases to crack me up that Americans a) pour it in their beer, and b) think that's a sign of youthfulness :)
But there's no accounting for taste. We have liverwurst in Germany, after all ;)
- fizwhiz 9y agobut it isn't considered a sign of youth; it just happens to be a "palatable" shot that's available for cheap which is why people reminisce the drink because it was one of the more affordable shooters that you'd pound back with a beer. Mixing gets you drunk, and crafting the drink pair requires no bartending skill. TL;DR the ROI in terms of drunkenness is what makes people gravitate towards it in their youth, and that's IMHO the context of the nostalgia.
- baxtr 9y agoYou should go out more often ;-) young people drink it nowadays a lot, too. They had a massive success with their rejuvenation campaign some years ago, also in Germany!
- jfaat 9y agoa Jägerbomb is not Jägermeister poured into beer, but poured into redbull. Not defending it, just pointing it out :)
- rzzzt 9y agoI thought it's where you drop the shot glass with Jägermeister entirely into a mug of beer (hence the name).
