I guess the bottom line here is what do you want from a hauf and hauf? To get loaded, quicker? A US-style ‘Shot and a beer, Dolores’? Or to give a depth of flavour to each drink? It seems, judging from the conversation, that the way half and halves are being seen is changing, as a newer generation of beer/whisky fans indulge in the practice as a tasting exercise, rather than an end-of-shift exercise. A highlight, rather than a hit. Anyhow, it’s something I’m seriously glad I have now been able to experience, and it leaves me wondering quite why I had never considered it before. Clearly, getting out of the beer box every now and again is a good thing.

Half rice & half chips with a curry.

a hauf and hauf after getting off work is one of life's great pleasures.

nate with the Welsh answer! I wondered if anybody was going to bring up the food options.

bad santa "half" poll

Milk/cream intermediate used to whiten coffee

Lemonade and iced tea is an Arnold Palmer

In dining out contexts, half and half could refer to a choice of sides where you get some of both, but this is just an affectation of the specific menu

Coffee and hot chocolate sounds like a strange thing to order

Ah piss

i'm with morbs

one time i wanted to get fancy at a bar so i asked for a gin gimlet. they had never heard of a gimlet, and asked me what was in it, but i couldn't remember even though it only has 3 ingredients. they got really suspicious and checked my ID really closely, and i sensed that they thought they were doing me a favor by serving me alcohol (i ended up just ordering a beer) to an underaged doofus even though i was in my late 20s

man, now i really want to get drunk on guinness and bass

fyi nobody drinks this concoction in the islands that may or may not be the British Isles.

I tried it once on the instruction of my American wife, tbh it was not bad, but it took some doing. fwiw I do remember seeing Bass Ale in pubs when I was about 14 but not since then. I suppose the company must still exist in some form.

i always liked the feel of bass ale bottles. i like the sturdiness of brit bottles. thick glass. a six of guinness and a six of bass mixed and drunk will get you pretty drunk that's all i know!

half onion rings half fries

half Vernors, half chocolate milk

half an ecstasy and half a bottle of wine

That's a Black and Tan

also the Norn Irish answer, more or less: a box of half rice and half chips with curry sauce

I was trying to remember what else this meant to me and then I remembered my mother used to drink a "half and half" of (slightly more virtuous but not v tasty) alcohol-free cider + alcoholic cider. I would not expect this to be orderable anywhere other than my parents' house, and I don't think she drinks this any more, so maybe not even there

in ireland they call chips/fried rice/curry sauce a "three-in-one". sometimes you get a four or five in one with like some other stuff.

Rosé or white wine and fizzy water = spritzer
A glass of whisky and a half-pint of beer = a shot and a beer (if the shot glass is dropped into the beer = Depth Charge)
Dairy product containing a disquietingly large amount of milkfat = half-and-half (I was brought up drinking skim milk; whole milk and cream taste and feel "wrong" to me)

Picking milk and cream as it's closest to the stuff people put in their coffee.

a company called califia makes a cold brew with chocolate almond milk- it's pretty awesome but not sure if i wanna vote coffe and hot chocolate
