I've gotta go to my girlfriend's gfs son's 4th birthday and they got a bounce house. So I open my fridge to get my shake ingredients before we leave here in an hour and I see that I have a couple brews lookin at me. I wanna drink em so can i just put protein in a shaker and dump a beer with it?

    You could. I would consider it alcohol abuse. What flavor protein? How about a nice chocolate with peppermint schnapps? That's acceptable.

    Hmm now I like a drink but not sure I would at a 4 year olds party let alone mixing it with a shake.

    +1 awesome, not for the idea, but because I feel like so much about you is awesome.

    ETA this just made me think about putting caramel vodka into my vanilla protein shake

    You can do anything you want to do, but I can't see that tasting good. At a kids' party, I would just not drink, but that's just me.

    I've been to plenty of kids parties and understand the desire to be a bit tipsy. Not that I've ever done it. 4 yr olds + sugar + bounce house = a LOT of shrieking. The thought of mixing alcohol with protein though... :grimace:

    Idk We always seem to have drinks at kids' parties. It's not a "drinking party" but I don't see a problem with a couple of beers. Obviously etiquette needs to be followed.

    So no puking in the bounce house?

    That definitely goes against kids' party etiquette...when drunk adults do it.

    I wouldn't do beer and protein, but there are definitely combos I would do :)

    Beer and protein doesn't sound all that appealing, but I've been known to put a shot of Bailey's in my evening chocolate protein drink every so often. :) Frankly, I was surprised there was no issues with mixing the protein with alcohol. I like the idea of peppermint schnapps with a chocolate protein drink too...makes a nice iced peppermint patty (typically a hot drink with hot cocoa and peppermint schnapps).

    And a kids party with a bounce house sounds like it needs some alcohol to ease the pain...*shudder*

    Agree that certain liqueurs could be a really good complement, but beer?! Shudders.

    Drinking to dull the awfulness of a kids birthday party.... Awesome.
    Ruining beer with protein powder... Awful.
    Username... Hilarious.

    ... maybe the alcohol will dissolve the powder better than water or milk, lol

    Sounds gross but I wouldn't shake it in a shaker- beer is carbonated it will explode and you would end up with a flat beer mixed with protein... why not just down the protein first, how long could it take= 1 minute? Good luck
