What's your favorite mixed drink, alcoholic or otherwise?

My local (it's in another city, but i'm there all the time) does double lemon vodka.  I mix it with any of a variety of delightful flavoured shots, like Cola Cubes, Turkish Delight or Parma Violets.  It's my drink, and it's not a girly drink, damn you!

double lemon vodka.

We already have this as a basic drink here in Brazil, we call it "Caipirinha", the only difference is that we use sugarcane liquor instead of vodka.

I... think it was 1/4th pepsi, 1/4th dr pepper, and then the rest blueberry minute maid. Some sort of blue soda, anyway. You know you got it right when the drink turns swamp algae green. Tastes pretty great.

There's also soda tea, which is less a specific mix and more "steep your preferred tea mixture in boiled carbonated/caffeinated drink of preference". Mountain dew with green tea or barqs root beer with gojiberry are decent starters, iirc.

Perfection.  I'll never visit on account of the heat, but it's nice to know

Alternatively, go to Argentina and have yourself a delicious Fernet con Coca! Mmm, tastes just like Listerine.

Screw all those countries. My gran is from Belize, and I'm never visiting, because, again, it's too damn hot!  But feel free to give me your cultural goods and alcohol recipes.

The northern you go, the hotter it gets here, so try visiting the south, they can get to 9ºC on winter

Do you moisturize/oil your skin after the wash and exfoliation? If not, you're just scrubbing off the skin's natural oil layer and making it overproduce to compensate, potentially worsening the problem.

Other than that, I've had a fair amount of success with a number of over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide creams when necessary. I used to have a Proactiv subscription, and the stuff does work, it's just... God damn it's a lot of fussing about. I never managed to really incorporate the process into my routine, so I didn't get the full effect out of it.

Maintain neutral skin ph, and use a mild moisturizer, yeah.

Crushed aspirin mixed in rubbing alcohol as an occasional astringent wash. (Compare with active ingredients of oxy pads. Much cheaper, and you can manipulate the salicylic acid concentration to suit your needs.)

Not much else to say?

Does beer count as a "perishable"?
My housemates have just gone away for Christmas and I have been instructed to feel free to eat any perishables they may have left. Hmmm.

[Il Palazzo]

This calls for an experiment. Can you think of any way to perish the beer?

[Yoink]

I'm sure the metal of the can it's stored in would eventually corrode, possibly a few centuries or so down the track...   

[GPeter]

Short answer: Yes

[Kagus]

While that's the short answer, it's not the full answer... Certain beers are specifically made to be aged in order to fully mature their flavor. Most beers are made to be consumed fresh (at least some definition of the term, since even several "fresh" beers will spend a short time aging before being shipped).

But yeah, beer can definitely go bad. If it doesn't show a year on it or the word "vintage", it's probably not supposed to sit around aging for too long. And exposed beer will definitely go flat and then bad in short order!

Are they fancy beers? Don't drink them.

Are they everyday beers? Feel free.
