But for a recipe, here's something I came up with once when you really need a kick, I call it
Satan's Vengeance:
3 Shots of Wild Turkey
2 Shots of Bacardi 151 Rum
1/2 Shot of Everclear Grain Alcohol
Splash of Coke.
Stir
Drink.

Are you "Yorugua" or "Gaúcho"?
Anyhow, that's a new one even for me, living in Buenos Aires and drinking mate and/or mate cocido on a daily basis !!

Myself and my two sisters do laugh hysterically at that one children's cough syrup commercial with the big bold letters on the bottoms, "DO NOT USE TO MAKE CHILD DROWSY." There are some TERRIBLE parents out there.
Tried that once and it made my face go unpleasantly tingly. I also don't recommend Pernod. It's unmitigated evil.vermaden said:Vodka with Red Bull

I thought it was the mega-doses of caffeine that were the issue. On a related note, I think that's why they call rum and coke "the fighting drink" - the caffeine makes people aggressive and the alcohol loosens the inhibitions. Suspect it would be worse with more caffeine, e.g. an "energy" drink.fronclynne said:To be honest, I have a pretty nauseating sensitivity to those mega-doses of B-vitamins, so I just avoid red bull and all its analogues.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Whenever I need a sports drink (e.g. competitive athletic endeavours) I make my own. Buy a bag of dextrose from the brewer's section of your supermarket (in water it becomes glucose) for all of $2/kg or so. Mix to taste with water (I think it's something like 6 tablespoons in 2 litres? I forget), add in a big pinch of lite salt (potassium chloride) and a small pinch of regular salt. Basically identical active ingredients to Powerade bar the B vitamins. Cost: 10-20c compared to 10-30 times that for Powerade. OTOH you forgo the Powerade experience (TM). And people think that you are doping because they see a bag of white powder, lol (you can always mix it at home though).fronclynne said:Well, I learnt about the B-vitamin thing when Power-Ade changed their recipe to include massive amount of B-6 and B-12: I got horribly sick after drinking some and happened to look at the "nutritional information". And I suddenly realised the common thread in a good number of previous nausea incidents.
I'm surprised you still have a heart left.Though 14 shots of espresso in 5 minutes was a rather eye-opening exercise, as well.
