What is a chaser drink?

A chaser drink is typically a non-alcoholic beverage consumed quickly after taking a shot of alcohol. The purpose of a chaser is to mask the strong taste of the alcohol and help to cut the burn it may cause. Chaser drinks can also be used to cleanse the palate and enhance the flavors of the alcohol being consumed.

Common chaser drinks include water, soda, juice, or a flavored mixer like ginger ale or cranberry juice. Some people also use carbonated beverages like tonic water or club soda as chasers.

It's important to note that using a chaser does not necessarily reduce the effects of the alcohol on the body, as the alcohol is still being consumed. It is always recommended to drink responsibly and know your limits when consuming alcohol.
