That opium thread reminded me of yet another drink dilemma. I was told by a less than thorougly reputable source that jager in Germany contains opium. ???
It does contain 55 herbs and spices, though.
It’s an excellent after dinner drink, settles the stomach. A more reputable source told me that it’s popular among ‘winos’ in germany- it’s sort of a teutonic MD 20-20 or Night-train.
A reputable source in Germany also told me that jager is more often used as a laxative than an enjoyable apertif.

I’d rather drink Nyquill. Nasty stuff. IMHO

For those of you that dislike Jager, you might wanna try Barenjager…a honey flavored version. It’s considerably less caustic, IMO.
