Irish coffee=death

[SFJoe]

NYT reportsFDA concern about caffeinated alcoholic beverages being big trouble. This certainly squares with my college experience.

did you invent the prototype for red bull back in the day? i've heard about you science guys and your 'extracurricular' activities...

I remember an Irish coffee party I gave freshman year. Couldn't get people to leave for love nor money.

Speedballs just aren't what they used to be.

Yes. Sad to have already had my day, no?

Same here. Mit schlag was a big hit with the ladies, too. I differ, though, on the overall impact of said beverage: I found it to be one of the best study aids I ever encountered: after 2 Irish coffees on a Thursday night, I'd sit down for 6-8 hours of serious study. The energy was less frenetic than amphetaminic mania and the sugar and cream gave it some sustain. YMMV of course.

If only I'd known! Think of the decent grades I could have had.

Why am I not surprised that it's the Center for Science in the Public Interest that's behind this?
