WEll -- actaully I'm refering to any of those drinks created to get trashed on... anything sweet mixed with vodka is just a nancy get-me-plowed fast&painless kind of drink. To me those lack Lou's sophistocation and style.

Lou keeps a clear head and needs others around him to be the same. :evil:

I agree- which is why I'm proposing the main ingridient of Lou's Kool-Aid be cognac- sophisticated, stylish, high-class- a Lou kind of beverage. :koolaid:

Holy sh!t!! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: great minds think alike. :P

God bless Wikipedia. Anyways, it's a slow work day, so I posted some Kool-Aid "fun facts":

----------------------------------

"Drink The Kool-Aid"

The idiomatic expression "drinking the Kool-Aid" was originally a reference to the Merry Pranksters, a group of people associated with novelist Ken Kesey who in the early 1960s travelled around the United States and held events called "Acid Tests", where LSD-laced Kool-Aid was passed out to the public (LSD was legal at that time). Those who "drank the Kool-Aid" passed the "Acid Test." "Drinking the Kool-Aid" in that context meant accepting the LSD drug culture, and the Pranksters' "turned on" point of view. These events were described in Tom Wolfe's 1968 classic, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.[4]

It is also now closely associated with the 1978 cult mass-suicide/murder in Jonestown, Guyana. Jim Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple, convinced his followers to move to Jonestown. Late in the year, he then ordered his flock to commit suicide by drinking grape-flavored Flavor Aid laced with potassium cyanide. In what is now commonly called the "Jonestown Massacre," a large majority of the 913 people later found dead drank the brew. (The discrepancy between the idiom and the actual occurrence is likely due to Flavor Aid's relative obscurity versus the easily recognizable Kool-Aid.) The precise expression can be attested in usage at least as early as 1987.[4]

One lasting legacy of the Jonestown tragedy is the saying, "Don't drink the Kool-Aid." This has come to mean, "Don

Drinking too much Grape or Purplesaurus Rex Kool-Aid will turn your feces green, due to a reaction between the food colouring FDA Blue #5 and bile, in a similar manner to that of Boo Berry cereal.

I vote for a pint glass of Grappa, which is the Italian drink they make from the scrapings of wine barrels. It will kick your ass. I dated a girl whose grandfather made Grappa and I had to drink it the first time I went for dinner at her parent's place, like a right of passage thing. It was vile, but I choked it down.
