Paranoia Punch

Oooohh, I don't feel so confident...

In an effort to curb the incidence of violence by nasty toerags in the city on Friday and Saturday nights, BubbaCo Labs have developed a range of Alcopops that induce a feeling of euphoria, overlaid with just a touch of paranoia.

Aimed at boofheaded twenty-odds, with beverage names like One Punch and Testoster-One, they just might slow down the sort of fuckwits your mother warned you about, before you went out.

If you aren't the hopped-up roidhead type then you'll probably just head home and sleep it off, after a few of these.

       Paranoid doesn't equate docile. I've been on the receiving end of a headbutt by a skagged-up thug who mistook my unwillingness to get out of his way as an out-and-out threat. He then ran off...   

       So, I'm not 100% convinced.

       Can someone translate this for me? I'm presuming it's a drink with steroids in it for people who don't even want that sort of thing? Also, there's an idea that drug induced paranoia is key to curbing violence, which Jinbish painfully explains to be false. So, a few problems to sort through here, perhaps.

       Sorry [daseva], but I'm in recovery. Forever!

       In short, it's a range of drinks aimed at the wannabe, macho types, to curb their violent tendencies and get them to pack up and go home, instead of hanging about after closing time and beating the crap out of those less belligerent.   

       Deception in a 12 oz bottle.

       and in a totally inappropraite vein of thought, the picture pops up of a couple at a single's bar: he's spiking her drink with the date-rape drug, she's spiking his drink with whatever that chemical castration stuff is... never mind, resume normal programming.

       //date-rape drug// listening?
daseva, Aug 17 2009
  

       It's rohypnol that you're thinking of. Evil stuff.

       // get them to pack up and go home //   

       Something laxative, then .....

       Something laxatve? Guinness, with a rum chaser.
UnaBubba, Aug 17 2009
  

       // Guiness, with a rum chaser.//   

       Dunno about laxative - but you'll be shitting bricks at some point...
Jinbish, Aug 17 2009
  

       That's not all you'll be shitting, from what I've seen of those two.

       //a range of Alcopops that induce a feeling of euphoria, overlaid with just a touch of paranoia.// - less feasible, but more fun would be a range of Alcopops that induce a feeling of euphoria, overlaid with a burning passion for scientific inquiry.

       [hippo], I'd invest in the development of that product.
UnaBubba, Aug 18 2009
  

       can I beta test it ?
FlyingToaster, Aug 18 2009
  

       //that induce a feeling of euphoria, overlaid with just a touch of paranoia//   

       So...marijuana-alchohol?   

       More like pethidine-LSD.
