I invented a drink called a Mad Dog Black, in honour of our dear departed canine:
1 oz Bourbon, Scotch, or Whisky, depending on preference
1/2 oz Amaretto
1/2 oz Frangelico
1 oz Kahlua
1 oz Absinthe, if it is legal in your country of residence, or NyQuil, if it is not.
Pour over ice, top with cola to taste, and garnish with an orange wedge.
It tastes a bit like maple syrup, only violently alcoholic!

We could have a wake, and be dorky.

The usual bottle is about 70-80% volume (remembering that even 100% volume is only half of the content being alcohol) and does indeed taste of aniseed. You're meant to burn it over sugar before drinking (as Sarah knows because we did it while she was here!) and the fumes are potent. As with anything though it's to be done in moderation. If you drink too much it just makes you drunk, just like any other alcoholic substance, albeit slightly quicker than other stuff.
I think there was a time in mainland Europe when people might hallucinate etc on it, but that was a long while ago and due to it being all black market and so no one regulating what went in along with the alcohol.

Although it might be funny to add NyQuil to something I drink. Cold supressants tend to make me really wonky.

Figures you'd post these during the UPenn Spring Fling, where I am probably the only person on the entire campus sober. :D

How much rum does that Why Is All The Rum Gone? call for? (It actually sounds foul to me, unlike most of the others, but I'm still curious. Might try to make a single serving to see if it's an unexpected positive combination)
