I love you, root beer. When no one else was there, you were there for me. When I failed my exams, you were there. You were always there, with your delicious, carbonated-ish tang.

Is, like, root beer the same as ginger beer?

Also, in Australia, 'to root' is a verb meaning 'to have sex with', so it sounds like you're saying "Have sex with beer!" as an imperative. Then again, Australians, y'know...

Root beer is not the same as ginger beer. Root beer traditionally is made from sassafras root.

There's nothing like a good root beer float.

Hate those "root beer" flavored candies, though...

Root beer is excellent and awesome, either in float form or by its lonesome.

I admit, though, that in recent years I have consumed a lot more Dr Pepper.

no one will notice that I changed this

Root beer is a lot milder and sweeter than ginger beer. I've only had ginger beer once, and I'm not a fan, but I love root beer.

Ginger beer has it's place, but I like my Root Beers kinda spicey, like Boylen's, or Barq's, since Boylen's is hard to find. Smooth creamy ones like A&W are good too, but they get boring after a can or two.

I am now reminded of FoxTrot, specifically the strip where the kids are putting all the emphasis on the "beer" part.

If you csn find a place that brews its own root beer, you have found your own little patch of Heaven.

Uncited true fact: Linus Torvalds doesn't like root beer. Insert your own Linux root joke here.

I know a local place that keeps Boylens on tap. I've been meaning to go more often.

Root beer and cream soda. I should try mixing them and see how it tastes.

You know what's surprisingly good? The "butterbeer" they sell at Universal Studios Orlando. It tastes like butterscotch cream soda!
