[edit] Atlanta

Is this really pertinent to the article? How is it just Atlanta? I'm sure this could be rephased to be a bit more accurate.

In certain drinking establishments in Atlanta, Georgia, the Irish Carbomb is made with 1 pint Guinness and 1 shot of Jameson's, which is lit on fire. The lit shot is dropped into the pint of Guinness, and you do not put your glass down until the entire pint is consumed. 208.252.49.130 17:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)badfishstan

If you remove the comment about Atlanta, then you reduce the accuracey. If you remove the entire statement, you remove information on a variation of making a carbomb. Seemms to be a good regional variation. Further elaboration should be made to include other cities/regions that use this method.71.199.128.182 18:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Curdling

"Irish Cream does not curdle as the protein has been removed" was added following the statement that the drink must be consumed quickly to avoid curdling. The curdling note is cited with the entry at http://www.cocktail.com/recipes/i/IrishCarBomb.htm, of which it appears to be pretty much a direct cut and paste (not a good thing, either). Without something to support the non-curdling argument, I suppose I will leave it for now. If the person who submitted the edit can locate a reference to his/her claim, then I'd be much happier with that in there than something that might be taken directly from another site. As a side note, I've never noticed Irish Creme curdling in any drinks, but I certainly wouldn't base the article on my experiences. --Willscrlt 10:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
