Is this what Kevorkian puts in his suicide machine?

Beer, with nicotine. Hooray beer,,,and nicotine?

A German company has come up with a novel way of beating bans on smoking in pubs - put the nicotine in the beer.

A new beer, known as NicoShot, is undergoing testing in Germany with hopes it can be moved toward approval in the next few months.

Each beer contains three milligrams of nicotine and a 6.3 per cent alcohol reading.

Its German maker, Nautilus, claims the beer is designed to help smokers quit the habit rather than make the drink addictive.

For anyone who gets the jitters from not being able to smoke in a bar, you can continue getting hammered while enjoying a smoke, or at least the nicotine, without leaving the bar. Why not have a nurse insert a catheter while your at it, you won't need to go to the john the entire night.

Good heavens, maybe they could add caffeine too. That beer could be called "NightCap" so you can stay awake while driving home drunk.

I can see it now, a tavern operated like a Jamba Juice.
Yes, I would like a Lager beer with the nicotine shot, a power boost, and double caffeine, oh and an anti-oxidant boost too.

That will be $7.95 sir, would you like some soup with that?
