There have been several mentions of fag butts in beer.
I don't do this sort of thing any more.

In my teens I once accidentally dropped a huge lump of fag ash into my half drunk pint and just swigged it back.
It tasted a bit gritty but really not that bad to me.
A mate then told me he'd buy me another pint if I'd drink it with fag ash in it.
I did.
We repeated the experiment, gradually increasing the amount of ash and each was knocked back with impunity.
And so began a trend that was to last for a month or so, whereby I would be supplied with free booze if it had some ash in it.

Apart from my farts taking on a newly satanic sulphurous stench I suffered no ill effect. I drank enough to feel like crap most mornings anyway.

A week or so in, they decided to up the ante and add crisps, bit of pickled egg, etc to the mix. All down the hatch, no problem.

Finally, as I announced that I was giving this nonsense up for ever, the barman (who was a mate too) told me to go and take a seat and he would bring my drink over.

What arrived was a masterpiece, a pint of foamy topped ale with the white greasy corpses of freshly cooked chips drifting in it, some cockles from a jar, bits of fruit, fag butts artistically arranged on cocktail sticks floating on a mini Tracy Island of apple, a tiny red umbrella and, for old time's sake, a thin layer of cigarette ash on the bottom with a plastic fishtank accessory thrown in for good measure.

Yeah, of course I drank it. I spat out the plastic bit though, I'm not an animal.
