<P> The name `` Black and Tan '' is not used in Ireland as a term for a mixture of two beers . The drink is instead referred to as a half and half . Indeed , the drink has image problems in Ireland and elsewhere due to the association with the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force , nicknamed the `` Black and Tans '' , which was sent into Ireland in the early 1920s . As a result , in Ireland the name is seen as contentious and disrespectful . </P>
