However this cocktail does not tend to lose its popularity because of its strong intoxicating effects, since it consists many ingredients like the beer, vodka and tequila.
However there are many ways of having the boilermaker or the shooting cocktails. The most traditional way to have it is first gulp down the vodka or the martini followed by the beer. However this is mostly desired by the folks all over, since it has a greater potential to intoxicate them.
