mech_angel, lord_of_smoking, raoin, Patrick and I have created a new drink.

It's half Whisky (preferably Southern Comfort, but JD'll do) and half Red Bull.

It's called a "Warren Ellis," and it is surprisingly drinkable, but feels like it might sneak up behind you, and hit you in the back of the head with a chair.

We hypotheticalled it, first, but then Bob went ahead and made it. It goes Red Bull, Whisky, Red Bull, then a not-entirely-unpleasant chalky aftertaste, not unlike Smartees.

Drink it, drink it and enjoy.

I'm guessing you've already informed him of this? Also, you should get your bumcakes down here for a visit someday and make me one ;)

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I have not. Feel free to do so, as I'm pretty sure he'd rather hear from you than me.

And I really should, shouldn't I? Call me this week

Mentioned it in a myspace message to him. I do expect you to get on the viral marketing for this shit though so it starts following him everyhwere ;)

Willdo.

As said below, this already exists. I propose we RENAME IT, the Warren Ellis.

r u sure that's new?

Only ever heard of Vodka/Red Bull or Jäger/Red Bull, before. Never Whisky.

Which isn't to say it didn't exist. Simply that it wasn't prevalent.

Would it be dangerous to add red bull to Cthulu-Aid?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Not really. There's already some in there, as well as some other ones.

I hate to disappoint but Whiskey/RedBull has been done.
Most places I have seen it call it a Raging Bull.
I like the idea of a drink named for Warren but alas...

Again, hadn't heard of it. I'm simply surprised that, in a 1:1 combination, they aren't disgusting.

I feel I should at least point this out

"You can hinder your respiration," said Roger A. Clemens, of the University of Southern California's School of Pharmacy. "From a public health perspective, you should not mix stimulants with alcohol."

"When you combine those two together, you always have a risk," he said. According to Clemens, some major concerns with mixing these two drinks include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular risk, impaired judgment, shortness of breath, dizziness, disorientation and rapid heart beat.

Oh, absolutely. I know of several people who've had pulmonary problems from the Vodka/Red Bull combination. But this isn't an All The Time thing, by a long shot.
