So it's a video game. It doesn't have to make sense. Just has to be fun.

Maybe your idea of fun is having your partner/packmule being blasted into oblivion because he is relying on leather armour to stop plasma bursts, but my idea of fun is much different, involving a 24-pack of root beer, lots of tortilla chips, FO2, and an extended catheter connected to my toilet...Joy! :P

Going really off topic here but what actually is root beer? And for that matter what is club soda? : )

You haven't partaken of the heavenly nectar?

No, rootbear is a great SODA that tastes like... Well, some people say bubblegum, others say shit, some say like heavenly netar. I say it tastes great! As for club soda, it's just carbonated water.

Don't buy cheap root beer.
I buy old fashioned type delux root beer. Very ultra good. I think it's made regionally, though.

Uh, yes, Ginger Ale is good too. My favorite Root Bears are Mug Root-bear and another kind I can never remember the name of...

It would be hard to find ginger ale in the void.

I like Barq's, A&W, Dad's Root Beer (I think this is local), and Mug.
I like another kind that is sold in bottles and all old tyme fashioned, but I forgot the name.

A&W kicks the crap out of every other root beer available. Pure root beer heaven. Barqs and Mug come in second and third, respectively.

Ginger Ale is nice, especially if it's got a healthy dose of whiskey in it: ) Barman make mine a Scotch & American please. Club Soda sounds like Soda Water, can't imagine anyone drinking that straight, why do all the cops order it in tv shows, gives them away straight away. They'd be better off ordering a cola.

But what is root beer, presumably a non alcoholic beer made from???

I don't know.
I think it was made during prohibition. The root beer maker are tricky. Sticking beer in the name to trick drunks into buying it. After they buy it and drink it, they realize it tastes good and are hooked!

Real root bear - read: not just sugared water with some artificial flavors and colors, actual extract of whatever they make root beer with... Homemade rootbeer if you will - does indeed kick ass.

As a note, I have no idea what it's really made of, I never looked into it...

ALL brands of sugar-coated rootbeer I've tasted pretty much tasted like a shugary anus (I guess It's better then a dirty anus...). Including anal A&W and butty Barqs.
