A paramedic told me today that the hot "shooter" with youngsters is 1/3 Red Bull, 1/3 Jaeger, 1/3 Nyquill. Anybody heard of this?

Wouldn't the Red Bull and the Nyquill just cancel each other out? I'd just go with 3/3 Jaeger!

Why not just drink half a bottle of NyQuil?

I'm not much of an alcoholic, but I have mixed red bull with a variety of interesting things -- vodka, whiskey, jaeger. It was entertaining for a little while because of the whole business about mixing an energy drink with hard liquor. I got bored of it when I realized how incredibly expensive they were.

I cannot imagine doing Nyquil+Anything shots seriously. That's just silly, imho.

And I thought someone had some pics of me naked.

I have done Redbull Vodka and the drunk is interesting to say the least. Your ramped up and buzzing hard at the same time. IT was not for me. I only did it one time.

Nyquil and a shot of whiskey for what ails you is good though.

Dumb.

Redbull (or similar energy drinks) and Vodka used to be my favorite drink, but then it got too expensive. Plus it's bad for you.

Aren't you under 21?

Diet coke is evil. At least switch to screwdrivers for the OJ.

Vodka and Grapefruit juice.

You get your vitamin C and its as low cal as you can get with a drink (at least I think so)

Jim: I used to look for low-cal alcohol drink options, but discovered there is much more to booze than just calories!

I always hate breaking this news to folks, but it helped me tremendously!

Excerpt:

Quote:

Alcohol calories

According to conventional wisdom, the infamous "beer belly" is caused by excess alcohol calories being stored as fat. Yet, less than five percent of the alcohol calories you drink are turned into fat. Rather, the main effect of alcohol is to reduce the amount of fat your body burns for energy.

Some evidence for this comes from research carried in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition [4]. Eight men were given two drinks of vodka and sugar-free lemonade separated by 30 minutes. Each drink contained just under 90 calories. Fat metabolism was measured before and after consumption of the drink. For several hours after drinking the vodka, whole body lipid oxidation (a measure of how much fat your body is burning) dropped by a massive 73%.

Rather than getting stored as fat, the main fate of alcohol is conversion into a substance called acetate. In fact, blood levels of acetate after drinking the vodka were 2.5 times higher than normal. And it appears this sharp rise in acetate puts the brakes on fat loss.

A car engine typically uses only one source of fuel. Your body, on the other hand, draws from a number of different energy sources, such as carbohydrate, fat, and protein. To a certain extent, the source of fuel your body uses is dictated by its availability.

In other words, your body tends to use whatever you feed it. Consequently, when acetate levels rise, your body simply burns more acetate, and less fat. In essence, acetate pushes fat to the back of the queue.

So, to summarize and review, here's what happens to fat metabolism after the odd drink or two.

. A small portion of the alcohol is converted into fat.

. Your liver then converts most of the alcohol into acetate.

. The acetate is then released into your bloodstream, and replaces fat as a source of fuel.

FWIW.

Kids are drinking alcohol with Cough Syrup, crushed up Codeine. It's very dangerous and lot's have died.

Check this thread for the level of stupidity in some of these kids.
