3. The Dude would NOT abide.
The Kahlua in his beloved White Russians could be next. Who knew that coffee liqueur was so dangerous?

4. The whole thing is fucking stupid.
What about Jack & Cokes? What about Irish Coffees?

We shouldn't be punishing responsible people because some idiots act like idiots.

10. Somehow I suspect that the drinks that Senators like will be magically excepted from the ban.
Edited on Thu Nov-18-10 08:06 AM by benEzra
So rum and Cokes, alcohol-coffee drinks, etc. will be fine, but the flavors of caffeinated alcoholic drinks preferred by the under-30 set will be banned.

#@^%! hypocrites...

13. Bars traditionally serve adults..not teenagers at a college party
and mixed drinks are probably less of an issue than chugging 3 or 4 cans in a row of that stuff.

In my day we had "Purple Passion"

180 proof grain alcohol smuggled in from Oklahoma
mixed with cherry koolaid, 7 up & Welch's grape juice..

New trash cans, a new broom handle (or canoe paddle) to mix it up, a bag or two of ice & off we go:)

After a couple of the old yellow waxed Budweiser cups, you'd have to start looking for a place to crash on as you passed out:)
