Mariners Drinks

Because the Mariners induce the need for heavy drinking, I think it's high time we introduce some player-themed mixed drinks. I was inspired by this article. I already have a few ideas, but suggestions would be appreciated in the comments.
The Ichiro: A solo cup with holes poked in it, then filled with Papua New Guinean beer: you'll have dribblers everywhere!
The Ibanez: Jack Daniels with a roofie: makes you think you can hit it like a man, but leaves you defenseless.
The Silva: Splash Johnnie Walker Blue Label, 2 shots Old Crow bourbon, 1 tablespoon lard: paid way too much for it, found out it wasn't worth that much, leaves a horrid taste in your mouth. Oh yeah, makes you fat.
Suggestions below folks, I know we can do this up well.

I'm still pissed about that whole episode.
Damn you, PNG Products. Damn you, US Customs.

I feel confident that if nobody in Australia or New Zealand even knew what I was talking about w/r/t/ PNG beer
then it just simply doesn’t exist.

Most Aussies I met mostly drank VB or XXXX.
I was in the middle of nowhere most of the time though.

Foster's is basically Budweiser
no actual Austraians drink it.

I was just thinking the same thing.
Fosters is an Australian beer just like Crocodile Dundee is an Australian.

It's something less than Bud.
I never even saw Foster’s on tap

The only place I saw it was at a Casino in Cairns.

No actual americans drink Bud?

My comment was actually in two parts
“foster’s is the Australian equivalent of Budweiser, taste-wise. However, no actual Australians drink it” would have been clearer.

Tons of Americans drink Budweiser though
I’d go so far as to call it the official beer of America, however sad that may be

Depends where you are
VB is huge in, er, Victoria, but so is Cooper’s.
Lots of people seem to like Toohey’s, but I think it’s quite possibly the worst beer I’ve had.

This line of reasoning shuts you off from good beer...
By the way, I just tried this the other night and thought it was absolutely fantastic. Since you’re a big fan of the Alaskan Winter Ale as well, you might give it a try….

I meant, major importers in places like Sydney didn't think PNG even makes any beer for export. They literally had no idea if it was possible and upon request
searching their catalogs made the point clear that no, it was not possible to get beer from PNG. That’s not shutting myself off from good beer, that’s ‘the beer is unattainable, if it even is produced’. Besides, it’d be island beer, and island beer sucks.
I think the Alba is the one remaining heather ale I haven’t had.

it's almost universally watered down shite.

Yeah, fair point.
It’s sort of odd that you can basically tell what european power colonized an Island by tasting its beer.
Hinano, from Tahiti, tastes basically like Kronenbourg, so, there you go.
Red Stripe…well, this is tougher, but still tastes more like Carling than… Bitburger or something.
Still, it clearly IS possible to get beer from PNG – it’s just that the costs of doing so are many times higher than they’re worth. The price quoted on PNGproducts, incl. shipping, is great. The ‘revised’ shipping costs are not great.
(Seriously, try the Alba… I think you’d like it.)

Any Light Beer
Any type of light beer reminds me of the Mariners. First, you think “YES BEER”, then it turns out to be watered down and nasty, leaving you pissed and disappointed.
