Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Do not let it boil.
In a large mixing bowl, add flour, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the eggs and beat into a batter.
Stir in the beer (or fizzy soda).
In batches, coat the sliced jalapeno peppers in the batter.
Fry the battered jalapeno peppers in batches about 5-6 minutes each, turning as needed, until golden and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and lightly salt while they're hot. Serve.
