Gets expensive after a while... is it really worth it?

And who thought up the beverage "Professional Hunter," anyway? lol

Its worth it.

Well its not possible to translate it that way

Well its not possible to translate it that way 

I'd say "master hunter" would be a more appropriate translation

Actually, it's only about 15 USD, so it's quite affordable, and compared to what most people spend on beer around these parts, I can't complain.

I myself must avoid alcohol at all costs... since my severe allergic reaction to a Captain Morgan-filled Diet Coke I accidentally drank down in México, I cannot enjoy the "finer" things in life. Not even Jägermeister. :p

Because of that, my doctor had diagnosed me with ADD.

I'm here if you need me, Uncle Kagé. ^^

I'll be with you.. I could keep you company while the rest is drunk. I don't drink

Well, yeah, though in American English, "Professional" and "Master" are interchangable, but British English, they are not. (Professional = Of a profession, or one's profession.)

And since British English is the correct form of English, I deduce that Cheetah's translation is more accurate than my own. ^_^

8 years of learning German and you'd think I'd get that right... ah well. ^^

Anyway... back on topic... sorry for the rubbish. ^^

Clearly I'm missing out here on something. The last time I had alcohol was a near-death experience for me, so I will never get nor understand the pleasures of this Jägermeister beverage. :p

[...]so I will never get nor understand the pleasures of this Jägermeister beverage. :p

Nor do I, but then its just a matter of taste

[Nightfox]

Very good, more for me

Be my guest, I tasted the stuff but was not all that impressed.
But then again I'm not really a big fan of alcoholic beverages anyway.

I think I must blame Nightfox for this one, but before EF, I was almost solely a Whiskey drinker.  I like Jager, but wasn't adoring it.  Now, I mix it with a lot of different things (my new favorite is Apple Juice, Jager, and Spiced Rum), or just drink it straight.  Let's just say, there will away be a bottle in the freezer!  Thanks Nightfox!

Absinthe is one of those "other world" beverages... I'm not sure what its purpose is. Most people as I understand it drink to socialize, or to get a light "buzz" (which is a sign from your brain that your oxygen and/or water content in your brain is low). Is this "Absinthe" really dangerous?

[Fafnir Kristensen]

Is this "Absinthe" really dangerous?

Only if you drink too much of it for too long ( but thats pretty much the case with all sort of alcohol )
The reason it has a bad reputation is because it was the only alcohol available in some back-water valley (because distilled on site) and some murder cases put the blame on people over-drinking it. So it was banned from store and labeled as a making people crazy.
Something like that.

edit:
it is pretty nicely explained there:

@ Fawks Beaumont

You are very welcome. 

It would be an honor to show you more longdrink variations next time.

[kyyanno]

I trust that Jaegermeister will also be next year's unofficial sponsors again?

[Nightfox]

To be honest, i had nothing to do with that hype, i just gave the hotel the Tap Machine, the rest was done by themselfs.
