Red bull and vodka make my wife a weepy crying girl for some reason. Just one or two, not an excessive amount.

Five apple martinis and she wants to dance with the stars.

That's funny. When my wife drinks red bull and vodka she wants to beat the s#*$ out of me. When she drinks martinis she wants to beat the s#*$ out of me. When she drinks Gatorade . . .

Ah yes, if the college kids are doing it there must be something evil going on. Jeez

Number one drink in Maine:

The buzz that keeps you drinking all night. And the nights get pretty long up here.

I had one of them as a girlfriend through highschool.

One beer, and she turned in to satan spawn.

And no kiss for a week. Thankfully the FDA is here to save future generations from drinking things that are just not... nice...

I’m lucky, my wife just gets really mellow. Doesn’t matter what she drinks, she just mellows out or starts giggling. I say I’m lucky because my wife also just so happens to be a Marine and really could kick my ass if she were to be an angry drunk.

I had Four Loko Halloween night (after a LONG night of drinking and partying with friends) and I can tell you that it wasnt the Firefly (Tea flavored Vodka) the case of beer nor the Tattoo (Rum) that screwed me over. It was that damned Four Loko. My roommate who drank it was in the same boat as me, we were both hugging the porcelain maiden and emptying our guts. All because of that damned Four Loko.

But they still shouldnt ban it because it provides great entertainment for everyone else!

This is crazy stupid. Rum and cokes, Irish coffee, heck Kahlua and how many other coffee liqueurs out there?

I’m particularly fond of Sumbuca expressos as a weekend eye opener.

I’ll do that as soon as I get my tax rebate check from The One.......

>>>I’m particularly fond of Sumbuca expressos as a weekend eye opener.

1 can of this stuff is the equivalent of 5 cups of coffee for caffeine content, and the alcohol content of a 6-pack of beer. How does that compare to your weye opener?

[Ronin]

Triple shot expresso and three shots of Sumbuca? Probably about the same.
