[@Clisare]

This was the best day of my TRY life. 🥹

[@stace0712]

Totally my type of alcohol! You're never too old to enjoy Alcopop!

[@TheTRYChannel]

You could say that day was pretty... wicked. 😎

[@christamichelleortloff2195]

Shit girl, you looked like a bomb ass party girl, if you wanted I'd throw a shot of everclear in it to boost the alcohol level

[@Clisare]

@@TheTRYChannel Colin. 🤣

[@Clisare]

@@christamichelleortloff2195 oh we used to mix these with different shots to create cocktails 😋

[@SarahRenz59]

"Better an empty house than a bad tenant." I am totally stealing that line.

[@meltedplasticarmyguy]

Same

[@JAT985]

New idea for a video: all the Try guys submit their favorite drink/cocktail to the producers, and they have to guess who each drink belongs to.

[@DJHolte]

We had wine coolers in the US long before Smirnoff Ice came around. I'm old enough to remember seeing commercials for Bartles & Jaymes on the TV, and I don't know if they were the first wine coolers, but I think they were the first ones I remember hearing about.

[@arrchee8386]

Then came Zima,..

[@halox3xdraven]

I remember sneaking bartles & Jaymes strawberry daiquiris when I was like 10 years old😂

[@apatternedhorizon]

Wine coolers are weaker though. Now there's all kinds of malt liquor based drinks like 8-10% hard lemonade, four loko, Smirnoff smash etc.

[@NarwahlGaming]

I remember being in the bowling alley with my parents, early 1980s, around 5-6 years old and seeing the wine coolers in the display behind the bar. I thought they were juice so I asked my mom for one. She said no, of course, and that I wouldn't like it. I pestered her until she bought one. One sip. I didn't like it. 😂

[@tamijoiskewl]

Coolers are hard to come by anymore! Seltzer Bev's chgd all that

[@carolann.]

Damon’s comparison of alcopops and Collin was awesome 😂 Loved Colin’s laughing “fair”😂

[@anakha]

Damon just ROASTING Colin at 11:31 had me oxygen-deprived.

[@timmi7986]

I was disappointed that Lolsy held in her snort. She completely lost it.

[@michellem4118]

It was a perfect puff up with a burn at the end there !

[@omniblue1333]

That Colin burn was great.

[@JohnBodoni]

It wasn't just the roast.. his delivery was SO on point.

[@LittleKenny]

Perfectly executed. Couldn't have been any better. Colin's reaction just proved how perfect it was.

[@eironwyman8157]

Lolsy is back!! Yeah! Waking up to the TRY channelers is surreal sometimes...working late has its upshots at time.

[@deborahsorgi8515]

Clisare is so happy in this one, absolutely love this video

[@PiraticalBob]

I loved Lolsy's delighted laughter at the end when Damon started describing Colin. Likewise Clisare got giggly at the end as well.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Love the pairing of Graeme and Clisare. Wonderful to see Lolsy again. Is this an older shoot, or is she remaining in Ireland now? Paddy and Jaimie are always good fun together. Those kinds of drinks were not a thing for me as a teen (too old for that innovation LOL). That Blue WKD matched the TRY background beautifully.

[@cheekyb71]

I believe she's permanently moved back 😊 As a Kiwi, I can say we are all a little sadder that she's gone

[@daemonhat]

this is an older shoot. clisare chopped her hair off not too long ago.

[@SelanneFan8]

It’s older but that said Lolsy is back and has been back for a minute now 😊

[@MyriamBernard13]

man, as a little Canadian kid, I just KNEW 'Everytime we Touch' by Cascada was so Euro! Hearing them bring it up and sing it makes it real lmao

[@WindsongVirtual]

I *knew* I recognized that song, just couldn't quite place it.

[@DenizenoftheAges]

Seeing Clisare take a trip down memory lane was priceless. Sláinte, Clisare.

[@christophercrowder872]

Smirnoff Ice was late to the party here in the U.S. There were wine coolers (most notably, Bartles & James), Bicardi Breezers, and Purple Passion (made with Everclear) well before Smirnoff Ice.

[@Dreyno]

It wasn’t the first in Ireland either. West Coast Cooler, Bacardi Breezer, Smirnoff Mule etc. were already on the market. They’re too young to know.

[@pladuke71]

I agree! I grew up in the south during the late eighties, and early nineties, and my friends and I drank this stuff all the time. We just referred to it as "spiked Kool-aid".😉

[@juliapernicka2698]

I haven’t had a Smirnoff ice in over 10 years. Had one two weeks ago. It was really really really really really good.

[@blugreen123]

The first time I got drunk was on Bartles & James. I think I was 15. 😂

[@joshualee8151]

no smirnoff ice isnt a wine coolerits a malt beverage... wine coolers have 3% alcohol where smirnoff had 5%+ alcohol... and the original was zima by coors smirnoff ice had more alcohol then busch or bud light same with zima

[@envisionstar]

ACTUALLLYYYYY, Zima started the "Alcopop" trend in 1993. They were the first to introduce the style. Although, "Wine Coolers" were first introduced in 1981.

[@robert8198]

Colins laugh...is infectious. Unpopular opinion? I love him.

[@ColinFilm]

11:30 Ouch. 😂

[@Clisare]

I screamed 😂

[@izzymhee2430]

A moment of precisely hilarious genius - sorry sweety!

[@LindaC616]

Well, you can point out to him that we have OPPOSABLE thumbs...."prehensile" refers to a monkey's tail, and if he has one of those, I don't think I want to know.

[@cheetajet320]

This was seriously one of the best. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and I laughed right along with them. 😆

[@Prederick]

That sudden, unexpected belch. God bless you Lolsy, never change.

[@jamesdewey3259]

Not a good shoot unless Lolsy gives us a good belch. Love her.

[@gregengel1616]

Now we know that Colin is sweet, but there's only so much of him you can take. And Lolsy's reaction was as adorable as ever. This was a great pairing.

[@Paz_Soldan]

This my favorite KZbin channel and it ain't even close but this episode was just hysterical. I laughed my ass all the way off. Clisare was in peak form. So good.

[@brittany9233]

Yes! I enjoy videos where they're having crazy reactions to horrid crap, but the best ones are when the crew is just having a blast. Clisare is an absolute delight every time she's on, and she and Graeme always seem to have a good time.

[@jacklowe3429]

Any video in which both Clisare and Lolsy burp is, for me, an instant classic.

[@JDotWill]

Clisare is so wholesome. How can you not just adore her 😊

[@rudolphrios1601]

Glad they all enjoyed the drinks especially Clisare.... I LOVE that she enjoyed herself so much and we came along with her trip.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

She's madonna long lost irish sister love her

[@ericgaudet5488]

Nice to see Clisare getting her favorite Drinks Alcopop and trying those with her Try Channel Friends.

[@TheCyberSurfer69]

Clisare is fun to watch... Even when she doesn't like something, she's still a character... But Lolsy.... She's just soo adorable...

[@mariejustme]

I’ve never had any of those beverages but your reactions to them reminded me so much of Boone’s Farm Apple Blossom Wine. The burping was legendary, ladies! 😂

[@helenblakovich1622]

OMG...Boone's!! That's right of passage stuff there. Remember when Boone's Apple wine was actually made with wine?? It was so good then. Now it's just another malt beverage.

[@davdidit6]

Strawberry Hill, in high school for me

[@erikatx11]

YES!! Sun Peak Peach was my jam!

[@DebraRoyal123]

@@helenblakovich1622 I'm that old, also. You could buy it at any 7-11. In the USA. For less than 2.00.

[@tensazangetsu551]

The version they...sang?...was Everytime We Touch by Cascada. Apparently there's another version that is slowed down, but the tempo they mumbled the lyrics was Cascada's version

[@neeonfox7484]

Damon's comparison roast using Colin SENT ME 🤣💀

[@epic5945]

Jamie Jay kills it every single time. He’s hilarious.

[@markbrookes6557]

I have to admit , I don't know why it is, but my favorite videos on this channel is when they try different alcohols. They always end up fun.

[@ronchambers3713]

I feel there is a ramping up toward another chaotic masterpiece of Advent Calendars, I can hardly wait a week to see which of the awesome Tryers subject themselves to the mayhem for our great happiness

[@theindigopapillon3495]

Yes please!!

[@tunafarrell2067]

One can only hope

[@dobiebloke9311]

Yes, and please, Dermot must be there, as well Ciara. In fact, bring the whole gang in and do an 'extended' presentation.

[@mabu1363]

Being from Canada, in 1986 I was quite fond of Seagram's Wildberry Vodka Coolers...those were the days.

[@Bandit-em1sw]

They were so delicious!

[@DrScottzy]

The big question: Glass bottles? Or 2L plastic?

[@mabu1363]

@@DrScottzy I only bought the glass bottles from LCBO. I don't recall even seeing the 2L plastic ones.

[@DrScottzy]

@@mabu1363 Hmm... maybe they only sold those in the Atlantic provinces?

[@phanaticz]

Everything you drank (except Smirnoff Ice) is completely unknown to me, and I wanna try them now!

[@nickbaldassone2992]

You guys need to make another one of these and have Clisare and Lolsy paired together.

[@jellyjuice6941]

They should have ciara and clisare together

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

I like Ciara and Justine Stafford as a pairing.

[@larryt4854]

If you add Lena with Clisare & Lolsy, you could have a Belch/Burp fest 🤣

[@dobiebloke9311]

When I first discovered the Try channel, only discovering Facts after the fact, I often confused Clare and Lolsy, as being one in the same. They would make for a fine pairing, in my book.

[@izzymhee2430]

Teen drink nostalgia, happy TRYers and belching redheads - it must be the start of the holiday season! Thanks and slainte

[@The_Wicked_0ne]

Clisare and Graeme are a great duo, miss the Bacardi Breezer and Smirnoff Ice times 😁

[@actua99]

Thanks Damon and Lolsy! I'd just gone down the same road they describe 7:28, and I really needed something to help me laugh my way out of it. That was brutally recognizable, and back up to sassy at the end. Well done :)

[@Starwindfey]

9:24 The patented Lolsy burp, yep, it's a Try Drink Video now!🤣

[@marycasanova8905]

Smirnoff ice is not the original. Bartels & James, and Zima. 1981. Dangerous. Of course, people over 60 would say Boone's Farm in the 60's and 70's. We always called it beginners booze.

[@kat.scheer]

We called them coolers. Definitely my go-to when I started drinking.

[@cruelty6368]

When the video gets to the part with Colin asking Damon and Lolsy what they thought overall, the long pause, the expressions on their faces, I was thinking how much I enjoy watching Damon, his dry sense of humor, Lolsy's laughter, and I realized how much I like watching all the Tryers, how much your content lifts my spirts, no matter what else is going on in my life. My deepest thanks to all of you.

[@melissaking354]

Can someone please let Jamie know that Every Time We Touch by Cascade had its moment in America too LOL

[@chalky_white]

You guys lemme come out to Ireland to drink with y'all. I promise I'll book a flight ✈️ immediately. 🍻

[@mikeywc808]

I remember Boones Strawberry Hill as our fruity drink. I would say I got it for the girls at the parties, but I secretly loved it.

[@chantal793]

You need to look into the Mike's hard lemonade line. They have some to mimic freezies (ice pops) and candies such as the peach fuzz, sour watermelon

[@joshualee8151]

mikes harder only or go home...

[@LionsOfJudah_]

Graeme is slowly becoming my favorite on the TRY Channel. He’s just fun to watch!

[@samanthamaynard4447]

Graeme is a great addition to the group. Pairs well with everyone!

[@iBecoco]

Clisare shined in this one ha.. that intro cracked me up!.. i think a alcohol shoot with Clisare and Dermot paired together is long overdue! always a fun pair

[@terilynemarroquin8050]

Oh yes! Please do another alcopop video. This one was such a joy to watch. It made everyone just feel so good and happy even the ones that don't show it effusively haha

[@shannonleighmoseley3664]

Love seeing everyone having FLASHBACKS 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@kJ922-h3j]

Bacardi Breezer, Hooch, VK’s for the next alcopops video 👍

[@TheDelman34]

This was the first time I have ever heard of this type of drink being referred to as Alcopop!

[@daleraditz9650]

Damn definitely reminded of my mid teens. Putting jolly ranchers in Smirnoff ice was everything.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Damon hit it out of the park with that crack on Colin. 🤣😂🤣

[@maxxod1]

Jamie necking the Smirnoff and Paddy stopping mid sentence. Priceless! Damon “Prehensile thumb”. Umm what? Was there a bit of pre gaming before this shoot? But his line at the end to Colin was hilarious.

[@Paredification]

Suddenly I know what it is like to be Alex in the throes of passion with Clare......Stay strong brother!

[@walmartsucks1995]

Jamie, nobody can beat Cascada, so i'm with you

[@dijitek]

Me and my friends love Cascada over here in America. So some of us had those songs.

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

Lolsy taking the pis out of Claire is priceless! 😂

[@Clisare]

I can’t describe how happy it makes me that I’m known for this now 😂

[@flakedwheelie]

This one took me back even though my first alcopop was a Turner’s Hooch back in 1996. Smirnoff Ice didn’t come around until 2003 here in Sweden and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the other ones here at all.

[@geebopbaluba1591]

One of my pre teen memories was we were having a party and my uncle brought a case of strawberry champagne and me and my sister took a bottle and went outside around the side of the house and we drank the whole freaking bottle and we both got drunk as hell and I puked my guts up all night long and missed school the next day.

[@dobiebloke9311]

Ahh, sweet memories. Yeah, I've been there, pretty close to the same.

[@unclebmcc6848]

Smirnoff ice is the best with shot of ginger in it.

[@UniquelyPenny]

I’ve never heard the term Alcopop as a catch all for these kind of bottled drinks. Love the term and will try to use it. Def have some deep nostalgia and want to try some of these.

[@cathysheahan7036]

Damn it all, I was like YAY Lolsy! and yay Clisare! and then like yay Colin (off camera comments) but damn it has to be PADDY...the NOTEBOOK reference wins hands down!!!

[@CorvusCorone68]

anyone who thinks Clisare is always grumpy, watch this, never seen her more cheerful

[@dobiebloke9311]

Understood, but I like grumpy Clare as well.

[@michaelfrost5868]

I have never seen Clisare so happy.

[@deanbrunner261]

I'm old enough to remember when Bartels and James was the kick. Thank you for your support

[@DJKuroh]

My wife wanted me to buy her some recently because she hadn't had one in forever. I had to break the bad news that those B&J flavors fell out of style like 15 years ago and no one has them lol.

[@Cheezzy0]

And we thank you for your support.

[@marceabrann2166]

Yes we did have Cascade in America which is still a bop to this day.

Yea Jamie I know “Every time we touch” and songs like that here in America 😁😁

[@skotmiller8465]

YAY, YAY, YAY! I didn't think there would be a posting today! SO much fun! I bet Paddy is lots of fun when He's stumbling drunk!

[@Tim_Raths]

The way Lolsy was talking about Clare had me dying. 😅

[@gsmithstudio1]

if only i had a woman to look at me the way clairse looks at him..😁

[@garyfarrell954]

it all started with bartles and james wine coolers

[@Blondie42]

The Smirnoff ice bottle looks huge in Clare's hands and super tiny in Jamie's. 🤣

[@jillsteele9528]

When Dublin won 5 in a row the pub we were in gave out a free round of blue WKD to everyone...jesus it brought back memories and it sold out by the end of the night. Go on the dubs !

Alcopop must be an Irish saying, here in Canada we just call them coolers lol I like alcopop.

[@44WarmocK77]

We also call them alcopops in Germany. ^^

[@AnthonyClarkPaladin]

Great video! Thanks guys! I don't know ANY of those drinks! I'm not a drinker as I've said before, but damnit, you guys make me jealous of your flashback moments.

We had things like Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill, and Plum Hollow, but they were wine based, rather than hard alcohol. They evidently have far more flavors now than they did in the mid to late 70's.

[@GeorgieB1965]

I think wine coolers completely bypassed my town in the early 80's. As teenagers we went straight to beer (yeah, we were hot stuff back then). I did wine coolers in my twenties, mostly Bartles & Jaymes and California Coolers, but that was about it. Bypassed beer and went straight to the hard stuff.

[@petemcfeet28]

If there is one thing that watching folks drink on this channel for the last few years has taught me, it's that out of the entire lot of you, Clisare is the one that's is the most joyful when she likes what is being served and is also, by far, the most sour when she is forced to drink beverages that are not in her wheelhouse. Ha! I would love an episode in which you wind her up, then let her down only to wind her up and then let her down and then wind her up one more time. Hahahaha. Go to her extremes and let the likes go through the roof. Alcopops. I'm gonna steal that one and see if I can get Canada to adopt it as well. We call them "coolers" here. Ugh.

Yeah, Clare wears her truth tight as skin.
