My Favorite Drink: Irish Car Bomb (Did you really think I was going to say Sake? Or Tsingtao for that matter

What about the significance of the obvious negative connotation of the name? I mean, "Irish Car Bomb" refers to the violence perpetrated by the IRA. Given that, it seems that the drink symbolizes religious and geographic segregation, which cannot be considered diversity at all. Also, I have a hard time seeing how this drink symbolizes "overcom[ing] social, professional, and economic constraints" when it refers to a conflict but not its resolution.

Don't get me wrong, I love carbombs. They're great drinks--poor choice of name aside. I just don't see how they symbolize the things you've enumerated.

Particularly with the fact that the components don't mix well, and the Bailey's curdles by the time you finish the glass.

I'm glad you find a car bomb comforting, Ron, but you're reading way too much into it.
