Alcohol has an inbuilt safety cut-out, if you get really pissed you end up a sweaty mess in the corner unable to ask for more drink or move very much. But stick it full of stimulant and you keep on flailing.

As long as you ignore the cost. And the increased inebriation tends to help with that too.merrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-16826626915945981192009-01-06T13:57:00.000+00:002009-01-06T13:57:00.000+00:00strawberry beer = http://www.beermerchants.com/A10...strawberry beer = http://www.beermerchants.com/A1002<BR/><BR/><BR/>nom nom nom :)zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308200573937625129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-38341343754133643882009-01-04T20:01:00.000+00:002009-01-04T20:01:00.000+00:00Zoe, what's strawberry beer?James, I'm still very ...Zoe, what's strawberry beer?<BR/><BR/>James, I'm still very much kev.
