It's kind of like phlegm. The best way to drink it is with massive amounts of rum and many spices. A better strategy than that is to stick with beer.

An excellent idea. I don;t know where these ideas for odd drinks come from...some bizarre marketing plan I guess.

The Reverand is pulling your leg, except for the part about MASSIVE amounts of Rum and spices 
The closest example I can think of is like Bailey's Irish Cream. Or chocolate milk, but with Rum instead of chocolate

Seems to be quite the same as our "Eierpunsch".
You can get it usually at Christmas-Markets here in Germany; I don't like it.
You can get it with or without alcohol, ("with or without shot") ;-)
When it says "Grandma's style" then it usually means that there's a GOOD shot of rum in it *hicks* hehehe

My grandma used to like egg nod - about the same as "advocaat" here - a lot. I don't like it either. But I don't know whether egg nod is the same as I think it is.

It's truly horrid stuff. Plus we don't even know what noggs are, probably some endangered species, and we're using their eggs as mix? That just doesn't seem right to me.

I don't know where it comes from either...but I have a theory.
We know captains of ships would dilute rum to make grogg. One day, one of theses fine vessels made there way home to Canada. The sailors, of course made their way into the nearest tavern. So the bartender would hear the sailors say "I'll have a Grogg, eh ?" The next would add by saying " Grogg, eh? "
Now a naive, unsuspecting landlubber with a speech impediment, a teatottler, mistakenly walked into the bar at precisely the right to " Eh,grogg, eh, grogg ,eh grogg..." ( there were many sailors). Thinking that something with eggs in it couldn't possibly have alcohol in it decided to try one.
He went up to the bartender and asked for what he heard ( remember his speech affliction) " I'll have an Eggnog please."
A hush fell over the bar...followed by uproarious laughter. The bartender,seeing how it amused his patrons...started to call it Eggnog. To this day it is called eggnog.
Another Christmas quasi fable...

Sounds nasty!! I hate Advocaat so I would imagine Egg Nog will also fall in to the spawn of Satan catagory.
I don't know whether eggnog and advocaat are the same, Emma, but I looked it up in the dictionary and according to the dictionary, egg nod is more or less the same as advocaat.
Well...it says it comes from England but I've never seen or had or been offered any EggNog. I still sounds horrid- I'm sticking with Wine, vodka, gin, brandy or whisky (or a combination of them all!!!) No EggNog for me!
