I drank red bull and vodka when I went clubbing a couple years ago, entirely because of Plei. I only kind of liked it. Mostly I liked it because of Plei. *g* But it sure as hell made you hyper AND drunk, which was perfect for clubbing.
Now I prefer the more sedate vodka tonic. I suspect I need a secondary drink, though.
It isn't some strep mutation, is it?
Nah. Just a really ugly bacteria infection.
Red Bull doesn't make me hyper. Neither does that Sobe energy drink. I got only a few sips through the Mountain Dew offering of the same genre. Too like syrup.
I consume them medicinally, when caffeine may be required to combat a migraine. And then quite often go back to sleep.
Do you remember the names of the restaurants you went to? Did you like the food?
Yeah, we went to Picolo one night, and Porto Bella (? -- right across the street) the other. They were both good. We were going to go to the seafood place along there, but it was way too pricy!
I've only ever had one mouthful of Red Bull. It tastes and smells like children's cough syrup. Blergh. I've never really found a drink that makes me hyper. I do drink many and loads of sugary drinks though. Sometimes three or four bottles of Lucozade a day. So maybe I'm immune or something at this point. Although white wine makes me very very talky for a while and then very very sleepy soon after.
I haven't been to either of those places. Anthony's (also on Shrewsbury St) has good Italian food and I like the Flying Rhino which is on Shrewsbury Street but isn't Italian food. If you need to come back here for business again, e-mail me and I can make you a list of good places to go.
I should have thought of that beforehand! Ah well.
Now I prefer the more sedate vodka tonic.
You sure took to them when I made them for you in SF.
Soccer (or to Jars, football) fans may remember that NYC's team is the Red Bulls, newly renamed this season (yes, after being bought by the folks that own the drink company). In their first game of the season against D.C. United, the D.C. player that scored the first goal went to the bench, took a swig of the drink, and spit it out.
He (Alecko Eskandarian by name) was fined by the league for inappropriate celebrating.
