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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I should have thought of that beforehand! Ah well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Now I prefer the more sedate vodka tonic.
You sure took to them when I made them for you in SF.

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gimlet! And tequila shots. Gimlets are more for when I don't want to seem like an alcoholic ho.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Now I prefer the more sedate vodka tonic. I suspect I need a secondary drink, though.
Whiskey? Whiskey & water? You're in a wonderful place for the whiskey.
Greyhounds are a nice changeup for when you still want to be drinking vodka (vodka & grapefruit juice). Added bonus - lack of scurvy!

Soccer (or to Jars, football)
Thank you for being so courteous, but in Ireland, football is Gaelic football and football is called soccer. But people can call soccer football too. It's a touch confusing.

Vodka tonic made with mandarin or citron vodka? That's my club drink of choice.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Tequila has a cult status among some of my IRL friends. I don't really understand the appeal, but I partake when I'm with them.
My out-and-about drinks of choice are either vodka and cranberry or Kahlua and cream. Or inappropriately-named shots that make the waiter blush.
