Haha, beer is useless. Why not try some liquor? I think that would be effective.

Yes I meant very cold beer. Maybe I should have said hánlěng píjiǔ.

Cold beer? We seldom hear people say hánlěng píjiǔ. In summer, people always like bīngzhènpíjiǔ (iced beer). It is the same as cold beer.

Usually, we use hanleng to describe the weather, but I don't think it's colloquial...

I normally just ask for "bīng píjiǔ" and I usually get the desired result, i.e. cold beer.

Bing pijiu is conpletely ok, Bob. I guess Chinese are smart enough to know what it means. In fact, I think we can say bing pijiu standard^-^ So I guess you must be a Chinese expert^-^
