You leave your drink around me... + 50 elephants

50 out of a herd of 120 elephants tore up a small town to get a local beverage called Mahua.  They drank over 100 gallons in just a few minutes while destroying the shop that made the drink.

Apparently these elephants are no strangers when it comes to getting crunk from this drink.  The police called on the locals to help contain the elephants and escort them out of the town.

A few fools to spoil it for the rest of us

I would like to state that I am sorry for the loss of life where ever it takes place.  
Now with that being said
I would mention that people should always exercise good judgement and try to live responsibly.  If you are a parent this should go double for yourself, by being involved in your child's life and passing these things to them.  





Last year a young girl died from "cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity" after drinking two 24 oz cans of Monster Energy drink.  The cans held a total of 475 mg caffeine. 
This chart shows that she drank 6 servings back to back.
I would ask, where were her parents at?  Did they warn her not to drink caffeine drinks?  
Did she intentionally not pay attention to the label?   

The young girl had a preexisting heart condition, as well as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome.  Why on earth would any parent let their child even think about caffeine drinks if this was the case? Last month her parents sued Monster. The Food and Drug Administration received 5 apparent deaths that possibly linked Monster.

I repeat it is sad.  I think if better judgement were used by adults and children there would be much less of these accidents.  Lets pay attention to labels and make wise choices.  I will continue to drink monster and other caffeine drinks. I am an adult and will use my best judgement when consuming them.  Lets not go on a witch hunt when its lack of personal responsibility to blame.  Please lets not ban products because a few people want to abuse them. Live responsibly, educate yourselves and use some common sense.  

soda ban/food police

I have been watching this on the news the last few weeks and I find it ridiculous that some mayor in "the most liberal of cities in america" has the nerve to try to ban large soda drinks.  First it was tobacco they were targeting now its the soda industry.  Both of which helped make this nation what it is.  I am glad to hear that the Soda Industry will Sue to Stop a Sales Ban on Big Drinks.  Plenty of people showed up to the 

Million Big Gulp March to protest.  But do people really need to have to protest these absurd things?  Sad thing is it will probably get passed now that the health board is onboard with the ban.  

Just like the man said, it is an infringement on our rights. Our right to choose, and our right to face the consequences of our actions.  If it makes someone happy to have a large drink, fucking let them have it.  

Yes, soda is a sugary drink and if people do not exercise then most likely they will be over weight, but 

they hold the fork, spoon and cup.  

Hope the Mayor will realize he has bigger responsibilities then policing what people eat and drink.

Will be making this next summer.

Irish Trash Can Cocktail

This one was sent to me from one of my groupies out there. :)   This is their drink of choice.  I am not a novice when it comes to mixing alcohols, but I cant help but think the Curacao mixed with the peach Schnapps sounds revolting.  

Glad to hear the red bull is the star of this drink.  Hopefully it covers up that nastiness.  And this is what I imagine the contents of an Irish trashcan to consist of. : P

Mixing Instructions

Fill glass full of ice.

Place straw into the glass.

Add 1 part each of all liquors. Do not stir!  Gin, Curacao, rum, Peach Schnapps, Triple Sec, Vodka

 Add full can of Red Bull upside down.

Tasty Jolly Rancher Vodka Recipe

I am a big fan of this one.  I make this often.  Think it has a less bitter taste then the skittles version.  Tastes smoother as well.  Kids do not make this, leave it for the adults.  

How To Make Skittles Vodka

Fun Recipe If you want some color in your vodka.  +21 adults only. Kids don't try this.

Think his recipe is a bit too concentrated.  Might want to add more then 1 bottle of vodka to split between these bottles.
