Dr. Daniel's, one of my favorites. For some reason, Jack Daniels and Dr Pepper go well together. Give Jack Daniel's a doctorate and youll be shitfaced with a 20-ounce bottle of my blend of the two beverages.

Absinthe
Few drinks have such a romanticised reputation as this. Even though present drinks have none of the hallucinagenic effects that the cheap originals had, this is still for the better. The deaths and hallucinations were a blend of unsafe chemicals being used and simple power of psychology.
Absinthes are not always green, though the bad ones always are. There are transparent, orange, yellow, red and blue absinthes.
Thujone is hailed as the cause of hallucinogenic effects, but is actually unproven to do so.
It is a smooth drink. Cool, relaxing and able to revive some of your lost senses if you are having a slighly overzealous drinking evening. It isn't to be drunk straight, you lose all it's credit by doing so and you may as well cut costs and use de-icer.

Even when it has been stored for 15 years in your friend's grandfather's cupboard, and then left on your mate's sideboard for a further 13 months?

I like that Irish cream stuff. I'd give it a 6/10 for creaminess, and 4/10 for alcoholicness. Possibly 6/10 for taste? I'm undecided on that.

Talkisker, Scotch Malt Whisky.
I've never had a whisky as peaty as this. A very new experience for me. It is made not on the Scottish mainland but on an island off the West coast with water drawn from what are apparently quite large peat bogs.
Very earthy, I'd have expected it to look misted with the strength of the flavour but it was wholly transparent as it should be.
I'm not sure I'm used to such a peaty malt, but it was certainly very interesting.

The Photon Torpedo
Named after a matter/antimatter main offensive weapon used by Star Trek's U.S.S. Enterprise, the drink is rather simple. One half shot vodka, one half shot AfterShock cinnamon liqueur. A word to the wise, though, most vodkas range in 80 to 100 proof, and AfterShock is a respectable 80 proof. Definitely a hearty alcohol content.
Two friends of mine and I, being the respectable Trekkies we are, sat down one night and watched Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. During U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A's final space battle, she and U.S.S. Excelcior are attacked by a Klingon Bird of Prey that can fire while cloaked. In order to remain undetectable and untraceable, instead of using phasers which would trace a straight line back to her position, the Bird of Prey uses photon torpedoes to damage both Enterprise and Excelsior. Finally, Dr. Leonard McCoy and Captain Spock add some sensor devices to a photon torpedo of their own to trace the Bird of Prey's impulse plasma exhaust. Just before Enterprise launches her torpedo, Captain kirk bellows, "Where's my damn torpedo?!" to which Dr. McCoy replies, "She's ready, Jim! Lock and load!" Captain Kirk rises from his command chair, curls a fist, finally able to strike back at the Klingons who were attacking his ship, and bellows, "FIRE!"
That was our first photon torpedo.
We went back to the beginning of the battle scene, and began knocking back a photon torpedo every time one was fired in the movie. This is what is known as a bad idea, my friends. The photon torpedo does have a rather pleasant, if not sharp taste, much like eating a cinnamon Altoid. However, by the end of the battle between Enterprise and Excelcior against the Bird of Prey, 16 photon torpedoes are fired in about a 15-minute timespan, the tenth torpedo being Enteprise's tracing torpedo, and the last six in rapid succession as Enterprise and Excelcior engage the Bird of Prey and destroy it.
After sixteen shots of what I'd guess to be a 90-proof shot, averaging the 100-proof vodka we used and the 80-proof AfterShock, my friend Ryan had to go visit the latrine and vomit repeatedly, as Charles and I passed out on the floor in a drunken stupor. Its really a wonder that none of us had alcohol poisoning, and that Charles and I didn't end up using the bathtub to vomit excessively.
Do not try this, I implore you. Even as staunch Trekkies as we are, it is a bad idea to use Star Trek VI as a drinking game. Use Star Trek II or something, where three photon torpedoes are fired, or another movie. I would not recommend Star Trek: First Contact, or any other Next Generation movie, as photon torpedoes are fired in mind-numbing amounts. Even I wasn't that stupid.
Anyway, the photon torpedo, while a good drink, is still no match for Jack Daniel's or Jameson or Crown Royal whiskies. I give it four out of five stars.

Yes, I'm doomed.
