I once heard of a fella drinking Scotch and milk for his ulcer and I cannot even contemplate what that might taste like. Coke is as bad. Blasphemy! W.C. Fields used to hold his nose while taking a drink, so that the smell didn't cause his mouth to water and weaken his drink.

the milk was for the ulcer, the scotch was for his shakes.....

A lot of years ago, Lowell North (North Sails) rescued two blokes one morning, whose boat had sunk, and they, too were clinging to an Esky. This was in Moreton Bay, and the blokes and Lowell got their pics in the paper.

We don't have them there "coolers" or Chilly whatchamacall things in Canada. Its so cold here year round we just leave our beer anywhere and it stays cold. Heck, we have to heat the damn stuff to thaw it out so we can drink it. We sure don't need to use them for flotation if we capsize. We just wait till the freeze up and walk home. (with our beer of course.)

Haha.

Sounds like ya need to get an esky with hot bricks in it not ice bricks. Since it is an insulated box, it might keep ya beer from freezing, at least for a little while.

Sheesh, with weather that cold, I would stick to hot tea instead of icy beer.
