Alcoholic Spring Water. For those who don't like caffeine, fluoride, "fitness", or extra oxygen in their water....or caffeine , "energy", or extra water in their beer, i guess.

vraxoin:Back in my day, we called alcoholic water by its original name: American beer. heh. The price is the real question, how much profit can they make from adding flavouring and alcohol to water. Pretty smart.

A third person died after drinking several cans of the energy drink following a heavy workout at the gym. Jesus. Was he TRYING to make his heart explode? "I know, I'll go for a heavy workout, to increase my heart rate, and then down massive quantities of stimulants!" Red Bull and Vodka is passé anyway. Red Bull and Jagermeister is where it's at.

soyjoy and jonmc, you are making my day, tee hee... as for watered down 40 of Olde English 800 with the Kool-Aid man's sock wrung out in it, sounds like a spin-off of "Cold Cocked," as advertised by Tim Meadows channelling Billy Dee Williams on SNL...

A refreshing combination of clear spring water, natural fruit flavor, with an alcohol level of 5% ...if you're a wuss. Everyone knows that whatcha do is dump a whole bunch of off-brand kool-aid into a (clean) 32-gallon trash can, dump in, oh, 3 or so fifths of Everclear, fill with water and mix, and add bits of fresh fruit as floaters. A couple 2-liter bottles of ginger ale are a nice touch, too. Grain punch, aka Purple Jesus: friends of college students everywhere

Skip the middleman by carving a plug out of a watermelon, draining it, and then filling the melon to overflowing with vodka and replacing the plug. Repeat every few hours until melon will absorb no more vodka. Store in icy-cold creek, cooler, or refrigerator for several hours, slice or ball, enjoy. Kids, don't try this at home.

When I first started college, I used to swipe a pint of 100% pure grain alcohol (used for pickling little dead critters) from the science lab where I worked (part of my financial aid), mix it with a WHOLE MESS of juice or Kool-Aid, and voila, instant cheap booze! Jeez, that was soooooo stupid.

By: sugarfish

sugarfish — Mon, 21 Jul 2003 14:55:54 -0800

no, no, no, you soak the fruit in everclear overnight, then add the off brand kool aid. it makes it much deadlier! and also, this is not the first time i've talked about jungle juice on metafilter.

elendil: The day they stopped making Berry Blue was a sad one indeed. Pure alcohol + Berry Blue (or Purplesaurus Rex) Koolaide == comfortably numb midway through a week-long hike. OP: Bah! They're freakin' vodka coolers. It's a continuing mystery to my that people pay for pure water and alcohol.
