Theme Drink--Fast and Furious?

April 8, 2009 3:47 PM

Fast and Furious is going to be awesome this Friday! Um, assuming I'm drunk. What should I drink?

Pirates of the Caribbean Three was a blast, because we brought plenty of rum. Transformers was great fun because my friend thought to bring some sort of Japanese rice wine with him, and I think I remember enjoying the hell out of Once Upon a Time in Mexico while drinking surreptitious tequila shots in the theater.

But, uh, how should we toast Mr. Diesel's health? This should be easy enough to acquire, and easy enough to sneak into the movie theater in quantity. If you've ever watched the swond half of Rollerball while sober, you know the importance of quantity.

Also, ideally it should seem appropriate for the subject matter--fast cars, sexy men and objectified women! Incidentally, if any of y'all want to join us Friday night in Evanston, IL, you are welcome. What better way to spend Passover Shabbat?

For some reason, PGA seems appropriate.

Camo Silver Ice has the street cred along with the immaturity of drinking in a theater which is what you're looking for.

Personally I haven't drank shit like this since I've been old enough to drink...

An EXTREME malt beverages/energy drink.
Sparks if you want the two-in-one.
Alternately, chase shots of JD with Nawwwws.

Sparks, for sure. Or, JOOCE.

Suped-up cars were originally the exclusive province of bootleggers. Therefore you must drink moonshine. Fruit-infused clear liquor will do in a pinch.

I think you're gonna have to go with Sparks. The black top variety for preference because it is more X-TREEEEEME!!!

Suped-up cars were from working-class kids that couldn't afford new cars. So they bought older cars, stripped off the extra weight and dragged 'em.

Those kids drank beer. American beer. Cheap, American beer.

Ethanol and nitrous.

(Or methanol, if you'd prefer to go faster and blind.)

French wine (vin). You can rejoice in the dissonance between the glorious and noisy stupidity on screen and the sublime taste of your beverage.

Grain alcohol shots, chased with Brawndo.

Because I like tenuous puns more than theme or practicality, I would go with sidecars.

Mixing booze and driving is never a good idea, but if I were you, I would quench my thirst with gasoline.

fast cars, sexy men and objectified women: noone has advised strong mojitos yet?

That's awesome--if I can find enough Sparx, that looks perfect! If not, the gasoline sounds mighty tasty.

Thanks, y'all!
