What The Hell Is Syabu ?

Top: pic from The Sun on customs discovering syabu in luggage in KLIA Left: a retail packet of syabu

While many of us know that shabu-shabu is Japanese steamboat, not many know about the drug called shabu or syabu.

We read a lot in the newspapers about police making syabu raids, drug addicts getting jailed and rotan for syabu possession. We also read about Iranian syndicates smuggling syabu into the country.

Having possession and trafficking of syabu is illegal in Malaysia under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. If you're an addict, possessing just about 61.8g (3 tablespoons) of syabu can get you sentenced to 15 years jail and 10 strokes of the rotan. If you're a trafficker, you could be sentenced to death by hanging.

So what the hell is this syabu thing ?

Syabu (also called "ice", "speed", "crystal", "glass", "meth" or "blue diamond" on the streets) is the colloquial name for the psycho-stimulant drug called Amphetamine. Amphetamine is known to increase energy and attention while decreasing appetite and fatigue. Apparently during World War II and the Viet Nam War, amphetamines were widely used as stimulants to keep the soldiers fighting, increasing their alertness and energy while going on without sleep and much food. It gave them false confidence making them bold, daring and feeling invincible.

Amphetamine is related to drugs such as methamphetamine and dextroamphetamine.

Long term use of of syabu causes brain damage, depression and other psychosomatic illnesses.

Today, it is generally taken as a recreational drug as it enables one to party all night. It is also believed to be widely used by those working in the fringes of society: prostitutes, GROs, robbers and gangsters, as it makes them hyperactive all night long, bold and daring to commit acts which they would normally be socially restrained to do. It is also apparently common for taxi drivers, bus drivers, night club bouncers and mat rempits to be on syabu. Women addicts take syabu to keep slim as it prevents them from getting hungry.

Syabu is not only addictive, it eventually impairs your performance. Experts say, after taking syabu for a year, you become dependent on syabu and cannot perform normally without it.

In the previous post, the feng shui aspect of the year of the Metal Tiger was explained by prominent feng shui masters. In the Malay Mail a few days ago, feng shui master Joey Yap revealed what the Tiger year means to you according to the Chinese zodiac. According to master Joey Yap, it will be a good year for those born in the year the Tiger, Rabbit, Snake, Horse, Goat, Rooster, Pig and OX. However, for people born under the zodiac signs of the Dragon, Monkey, Dog and Rat, it seems that the year of the Tiger will bring some challenges.

Tiger Tiger 2010 Feng Shui Tips

This year marks the year of the metal tiger in the Chinese zodiac. Some businesses are doing a roaring trade in tiger trinkets and merchandise. I predict a sharp surge in the sale of cats in pet shops similar to that of dogs during the dog year a few years back.

From the feng Shui point of view, this year of the metal tiger (also called the golden tiger), seems good.

Feng shui grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai told the Star recently, that the Metal Tiger ushers in a year of good prospects. It is a year of “thunder-fire abundance.

Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai, one of Asia's top feng shui master, says thunder signifies prosperity and progressiveness, while fire symbolises brightness.

Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai's son, Yap Boh Chu explained that the Golden Tiger years bring with it a time of "greatness and abundance". As this abundance will happen as sudden as the thunder, one must thus seize the moment as it presents itself.

Yap Boh Chu also adds that the year 2010 is the culmination of past efforts. All previous efforts done will bear fruit this year, according to him.

While Yap Jr. predicts more legal suits this year, Yap Sr. explains that earth related industries, such as those in timber and plantation will do well. Yap Cheng Hai also speculates good fortune for the electronics, beauty and education industries.

Yap Boh Chu however adds that the real estate and mining industries will remain static. He predicts more natural disasters involving volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

Feng shui master Gan Wai Kwang says that earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions etc will happen sometime in April and August and among those countires to be affected are Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Africa, India, North-East of America, North-East of Canada, Australia, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Feng shui master Wong Keen Ming also predicts a good finances year. But, unlike Yap Cheng Hai, he is pessimistic about the metal businesses such as those in electronics, telecommunications, banking, automobile and insurance.

Master Wong Keen Ming is more in favour of water-related businesses like shopping malls, transportation, fisheries, construction, import and export businesses, and automobile workshops as these businesses are more likely to do well.

Read also what master Joey Yap has to say about the Tiger year.

This is not a good year to get married - no fu (meaning bitter and it also means tiger in Cantonese) marriages and tiger babies says feng shui master, Yap Jr.

Chinese zodiac expert, Ruth Q. Sun says that it is more compatible for those born in the year of the Tiger to marry those born in the year of the Horse, Dragon, Dog, Rat, Ox, Rabbit, Tiger, Goat, Rooster or Boar, but never a Snake or a Monkey

Datuk David Hew, co-founder of Visiber Sdn Bhd, a numerology based services company says that says that this year presents plenty of opportunities for changes in careers and personal relationships and it is the time for taking action.

Some people say Tiger beer and Maybank are estimated to see an increase in business. Tiger Woods is so expected to make a strong comeback this year.

Easy Ways Of Losing Weight

In an article published in Yahoo Health, Liz Vaccariello, Editor-in-Chief, Prevention provides 7 ways to lose weight without real exercise or going on a diet. I will discuss her tips with a Malaysian perpective.

Her first tip is to fidget. Apparently according to James Levine, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, people who tap their feet, prefer standing to sitting, and generally move around a lot burn up to 350 more calories a day than those who sit still. So that is amounts to losing almost 37 pounds a year. But the Chinese believe that its bad luck if you shake your legs...apparently you will lose money. You might want to skip this step if you're superstitious.

Secondly, Liz advises to keep most meals under 400 calories and eat at regular intervals. This is because many studies show that spacing your meals at regular intervals and keeping them all about the same portion promotes greater calorie burning after eating. Ok, no more nasi lemak, maggi goreng or roti canai for supper. If you're hungry at night just drink warm water and go to bed.

For her 3rd tip Liz says you must start doing normal chores like vacuuming, walking the dog, etc with intensity - by turning on some music while doing these will help you do them faster and with more energy. So sack your maid and do these things yourself. If you don't have a dog, its time to get one. Bathing and cleaning up after the dog also helps you lose weight.

Drinking 8 glasses of water per day is the 4th tip. Drinking loads of water speeds up the body's metabolism. According to a German research, drinking two 8 glasses of cold water increased their subjects' metabolic rate by 30%. Plain water is what is meant here - not teh "O" ice limau or Coca-Cola, you get the message.

The 5th tip encourages you to start climbing stairs and try stepping up and down on the curb while you're waiting for the taxi or filling your petrol tank. Yes, people will think that you're nuts, but do it anyway. You can also skip your way to the payment counter at the petrol station and skip your way to lunch - skip any chance you get; you'll lose weight faster.

Start going shopping, is the 6th tip - use grocery bags as dumbbells. I know the girls would love this. For guys, its time to follow your girlfriends shopping. If you don't have a girlfriend, find a shopaholic - offer to pay for her shopping. Walking round and round Mid Valley or Pavilion while carrying stuff can make you lose weight. Also, when you pay for all your girlfriend's shopping, you'll have no money left to eat, so you can starve and lose weight.

In liz' 7th tip, she encourages eating fiber at every meal. A high-fiber diet can lower your caloric intake without making you feel deprived as it makes you feel full. You can also consume food that can help you lose weight. If you don't like this tip, you substitute this with shagging. Yes, you can shag your shopaholic girlfriend - after all the shopping you sponsored, you better make it worth every Ringgit.

Some people believe that you can pray to God to lose weight.

Caning Therapy

News reports recently mentioned a Malaysian man based in Singapore reaping good profits from his “caning therapy” business. 72-year-old Wu Cheng Guang charges S$20 (approximately RM46) for each caning session.

Apparently caning relieves the customers' aches and sore muscles.

Wu Cheng Guang, who also has caning centres in Thailand and Penang, began treating people in Singapore near a friend’s flat at Jurong West in November last year. He is now treating from 50 to 70 people each day and business has been steadily increasing.

Wu Cheng Guang said he learnt his method from a lama in Xichang when he was 50 years ago.

He said that the cane marks on the customers is a positive sign showing that the “dangerous energy” clogging their blood system has been eliminated.

Human Bones Used To Make Spiritual Swords

Kuo Chang-hsi the 65-year-old swordmaker from Taiwan uses human bones to make swords.

Kuo Chang-hsi, the swordmaker for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, uses the ancient Chinese technique of adding human bones to the fire in which he forges the swords.

According to the Kuo, this technique fills the swords with "spirit". Apparently in ancient China, a good sword was made by burning a whole man in the furnace, instead of just his bones.

Read more here.

From what the swordmaker said, I can assume that if you use the bones of a cowardly man, your sword wont be filled with a brave and powerful spirit as compared to using the bones of a courageous warrior.

Although the swordmaker didn't say anything about using the bones of animals to make swords, I would imagine that the same principle applies. For instance, if you use the bones of a tiger, it should make the sword ferocious as it will be instilled with the spirit of the tiger. Is this the reason why some Asian men eat tiger meat ? - to instill the tiger's spirit in them (i.e. their little "swords" in their trousers) ?

So if a man likes eating bak kut teh, then you'll know the quality of his "sword".

Sadly the swordsman didn't mention anything about how to improve the quality of your manly sword by what to eat.

Human Fat Used In Cosmetics

The Peruvian police said last week that they have caught up with a gang of 4 that had killed dozens of people for their fat.

The gang sold the dead victim's fat to buyers who used it to make cosmetics. The fat collected was then stored in used soda and water bottles before it was sold to cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies in Europe.

According to news reports, the gang allegedly targeted people in remote areas, luring them with phony job offers for the purpose of killing them for their fat.

As the market price for human fat is as high as RM52,500 a litre, it is not surprising that this lucrative "killing for fat" has been going on for the last 30 years.

The police are now also searching for people who bought the fat or are associated with the gang.

This sinister scheme is similar to the scenes in the movie Fight Club, when antihero Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) steals bags of human fat (see pic above) from the dumpster of a liposuction clinic to make soap.

What will people think of next ? Some people like the pork lard in Char Koay Teow. Maybe, in future, human lard will be used instead ... double yummy ! but then the price will also increase from its current RM4.50 per plate to RM100 per plate. Makan minyak orang mati...

Men: 50 Ways To Get More Energy

This was the advice by Samantha Heller, M.S., R.D. in Men's Fitness Magazine:

Nix the nightcap. Alcohol prevents your body from entering REM sleep (the most restful sleep phase). So, even if you're getting plenty of sleep each night, you may not feel fully rested.

Take a 'roid test. If you're tired all the time, you may have a thyroid problem. Other warning signs to look for include weight changes, a hoarse voice, lethargy, and hair loss.

Drink more. Breathing, talking, peeing, even sitting—they all use up the body's water supply. Let your body dry out, and your energy level will dry up as well.

Light up. Turn on your desk lamp or open the blinds and let in some sun. Your body needs vitamin D (from sunlight) in order to help keep energy levels at their peak.

Have your BP checked. Up to 60% of men between 18 and 39 may have high blood pressure, a prime source of chronic fatigue.

Get your snack on. Your body needs fuel to run at its peak. Skip even one meal because you "don't have time to eat" (sound familiar?) and your pep will plummet.

Munch on berries. Doesn't matter what kind, they're all high in energy-boosters called anthocyanins.

Bulk up your diet. Cardiff University researchers found that men with high-fiber diets have less fatigue than men with lower-fiber diets.

Try L-carnitine. The vitamin-like amino acid may help your muscles recuperate more quickly after a hard day at the gym. To feel the jolt, try taking 500 mg a day for at least three weeks.

Get steamed. According to one U.K. study, up to 68% of men feel more energetic after a hot bath or shower.

Eat more fish. Studies show the omega-3s in foods like tuna and salmon can help fight depression, leaving you happier and more energized. Don't like fish? Try eating more walnuts and flaxseed, or pop a 1,000 mg fish-oil supplement instead.

Turn it up. A report in Online Journal of Sport Psychology says that loud music may be one of the most effective tools for relieving stress and fighting fatigue.

Join the B-team. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that many athletes and exercise buffs don't get enough B vitamins. That's bad, since thiamin, B6, B12, and riboflavin are all necessary for the body's production of energy.

Limit lunch to 500 calories. High-calorie meals take longer to digest and end up pulling energy away from other cells in your body.

Take a hike. Instead of slamming some candy when the 4 p.m. blahs strike, take a quick walk around the block. Physical activity oxygenates blood cells, helping to refill your body's fuel tank.

Say "yes" to yogurt. The good bacteria in yogurt helps keep your intestines healthy, allowing them to absorb more nutrients from the foods you eat. And the more nutrients your cells have at their disposal, the greater your energy reserves.

Avoid trans fats. Foods like doughnuts, crackers, and chips raise levels of bad LDL cholesterol in the body. This narrows blood vessels, blocking the flow of oxygenated, energy-rich blood cells throughout the body.

Opt for whole grains. White bread and pasta spike blood sugar and burn away quickly, sapping energy as they go. Stick with whole-grain foods, which provide longer-lasting fuel.

Don't skip breakfast. Two major studies published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition show that breakfast eaters not only feel better mentally and physically compared to people who skip breakfast, but they also tend to have a healthier lifestyle and are better at dealing with depression and emotional stress.

Have a cup of joe. In small doses, caffeine is a great energy booster, increasing mental alertness and even spiking sexual potency.

Just lose it. Whether you're packing an extra five pounds or 50, the further over your ideal weight you are, the less energy you ultimately have.

Go nuts. Almonds and peanuts are so nutrient dense that a single nut packs enough calories to heat up half a cup of water. Nuts are also high in magnesium and fiber, two proven energy boosters.

Get wet. According to a study in the journal Clinical Neurophysiology, splashing cool water on your face may restore energy even faster than other popular options, like drinking coffee.

Shake it up. The Journal of Applied Physiology reports that men who drink a high-protein shake after working out have more pep than men who refuel on carbs alone.

Clear your sinuses. Men with chronic fatigue are up to nine times more likely to suffer sinus problems than guys who have no problems breathing. An over-the-counter allergy medication may relieve the condition.

Call a buddy. There's more than a decade's worth of research showing that men who open up and talk about their lives with other people have more energy than men who keep their stress inside.

Get it on. In a 10-year-study of 900 men, U.K. scientists found that men who had sex the most often also had the best physical health and most overall energy.

Catch 40 winks. Been sneaking a nap under your desk? Good. The NIH found that power naps boost brain power, preventing burnout and significantly improving mental performance.

Scramble some eggs. Of all foods, eggs are the best provider of energy-boosting protein, according to the American Heart Association

Swallow some calcium. Calcium deficiencies sap muscle strength and lower physical endurance. The average guy needs at least 1,000 mg of calcium a day.

D up. You need vitamin D to maintain the proper balance of other energy-bolstering vitamins in the body. The best D sources? Fish and D-fortified skim milk.

Get a massage. Studies show that massage helps you conquer three serious energy drainers—anxiety, headaches, and muscle soreness.

Inflate your ego. Try this classic therapy trick: Grab a piece of paper and jot down seven things you like about yourself. Self-confidence equals increased energy.

Wear brighter colors. Vibrant greens and blues activate neurons in the brain that keep energy at its peak.

Do a puzzle. Pick something challenging. Problem solving stimulates brain cells, spiking your body's energy levels.

Do some cardio. Biking, running, and swimming all help to increase the number of energy-producing mitochondria in your cells.

Do the downward dog. Indian researchers found that men who perform yoga often experience less fatigue during cardiac stress tests than men who don't.

See a funny flick. A study in the journal Psychological Reports found that laughter pushes the energy-sapping compound neuroendocrine out of your brain.

Have a soundtrack. Play background music at your desk. You'll have less anxiety, a prime energy thief.

Get your stuff together. The more organized things are around you, the more mental and physical energy you can devote elsewhere.

Duck debt. Researches at Ohio State found that men who were stressed over their credit card debt had lower energy levels than guys with less debt or none at all.

Stay positive. Australian researchers found that men who had positive attitudes suffered fewer injuries and recovered from injuries faster than their darker—less energetic—counterparts.

Sleep in. Getting even one extra hour of sleep a week can counteract most energy-robbing sleep deficits.

Go out on the town. Sure it's fun, but studies show that a good social life can also help you feel more energetic.

Vary your routine. Switch things around—add intervals to your workout, try new lifts, cross-train. You'll challenge your muscles, furthering their development and giving you more energy.

Relax. Stress is energy's number one enemy. Next time you're swamped, zap the stress by closing your eyes and breathing deeply for 60 seconds.

Schedule a day off. Take a day every month to do something fun—no errands and nothing serious or work-related. The happier you are, the better you feel.

Pump some iron. Anaerobic exercise—like lifting—boosts levels of three compounds your body needs for quick bursts of activity, ranging from sprints to foreplay.

Veg out. Load your plate with veggies like tomatoes, carrots, and spinach. The brighter the vegetables' color, the more energy-revitalizing antioxidants they contain.

Chug a sports drink. The potent mix of water, sugar, and electrolytes may give you the juice you need to make it through that last set.

There are many myths (fortunately not legends) surrounding the massage parlour. Many people can guess that massage parlors are dodgy places where all types of sexual activity takes place. And if they are referring to massage parlours in Kuala Lumpur, they are mostly right. Whilst the are some clean massage centres in Kuala Lumpur, however, in reality, most massage parlors is KL offer dodgy services to survive. The massage parlor may be called a spa, health centre, or massage centres where messuese, locally referred to as massage girls from China, Thailand, Indonesia or Vietnam entertain cutomers with their sexual chams.

Pink Angel Spa in Balakong, for instance, offer a variety of special services for men. Penis or genital massage called Urut Batin (in Malay) or Chook Kan (in Chinese) is the standard offer. Urut Batin is believed to cure erectile dysfunction (ED)or locally called mati pucuk (in Malay). It is disputable if the Urut Batin offered is the genuine stuff. What I mean is that, usually a messuese who does urut batin is an old woman (or man) from Indonesia trained in traditional massage techniques. There young messuse from 3rd world countries are not trained to do Urut Batin, all they do is masturbation.

A real massage centre is relatively easy to come by. These are usually located in the up market suburbs in Kuala Lumpur, like Sri Hartamas and Bangsar. Rumble Jim Health Centre in Sri Hartamas, for instance, offers massage for women and men. Thai and Swedish massage is their specialty. The messuse are specially trained and certified before they can start servicing customers. There are many different packages to choose from.

Customers who have not been to a massage parlour before will be most surprised by this. The services provided are to the safest of standards and the staff, most professional.

Although Thailand's Bangkok massage parlours are reported to be amongst the best in quantity and quantity, in South East Asia, and its sex industry is ever resilient and thriving despite two major setbacks in the region, in the last decade - Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 and the Asian Tsunami in 2005. The sex industry is what most tourist say is the main attraction of Bangkok.

Despite Bangkok's international reputation for sex tourism, some people say Kuala Lumpur is fast catching up its Thai counterpart as the sex capital of this region. Kuala Lumpur's largely underground sex industry, due to the strict law of the country regarding entertainment of sexual nature, is thriving due to support from hot blooded local men and tourists.

In Bangkok, the masseuse are largely local Thai women, but in Kuala Lumpur, as a result of globalisation and the relatively strong Ringgit, women from poor provinces in China and neighboring countries like Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines risk circumventing Malaysian immigration laws to work in Spas or health centres (as massage parlours are now locally referred to), as masseuses cum prostitutes, in Kuala Lumpur.

For the past few years, Kuala Lumpur can boasts hundreds if not thousands of massage parlours. As massage parlours have a negative connotation amongst Malaysians and partly to disguise its set up in attempt to fool enforcement authorities, savvy businessmen have re-branded massage parlours and called them Spas, health centres, reflexology centers etc or numerous combinations of these.

Massage parlours in Kuala Lumpur today offer a variety of new services - steam and sauna baths, manicure and pedicure, foot reflexology and also sensuous massage for men.

Is Homeopathy Modern Day Folk Medicine ?

Samuel Hahnemann

Homeopathy is a kind of alternative medicine made popular by a German, Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century.

Homeopathy is essentially a system which procures treatments to stimulate the body to heal itself. Unlike conventional medicine, which uses artificially manufactured drugs to control or suppress the illness, homeopathic medicine uses the natural properties of plants, minerals and even animals to stimulate the natural defenses of the body to initiate the healing process.

Some people criticise homeopathy is being just some kind of modern alternative medicine or a practice of folk remedies associated with witchdoctors, similar to the practice of a Malay Bomoh or the Chinese Sinseh (herbalist and traditional medicine practitioner).

Homeopathy is getting popular in Malaysia as a form of alternative medicine. There are currently Malay, Chinese and Indian homeopathic clinics in every major town in Malaysia.

Apparently homeopathy was brought to Malaysian (then called Malaya) in 1940's by some Indian British army officers from India.

Currently, traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) practices, which includes Bomohs , Sinsehs, reiki, homeopathy practitioners etc are not regulated in Malaysia.

There is an article in the Star on 13 July 2008 by Dr Milton Lum - Regulating traditional medicine

Polycrest is a society which promotes the practice of homeopathy in Malaysia, for those who are interested to know more.

Is homeopathy a genuine science ? Judge this for yourself, here is the list of the Top 50 Homeopathy Blogs, for you to visit and make an educated evaluation.

Please Suck Me, My Back Is Aching

Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy that is popular in Malaysia. It stimulates acupuncture points (meridian points) by applying metal, bamboo, wood, plastic, rubber or glass cups to suck your skin producing blood congestion and thus stimulating that area. Cupping therapy is commonly used for lower backaches, sprains, soft tissue injuries, and bronchitis.

Cupping is practiced not only in China but also in many other countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and even in the Middle East using similar techniques but are called different names. There are different cups for different sucks.

Usually a "traditional or alternative medicine practitioner" will checking the patient's pulse rate and tongue, first. Then, the patient is asked to lie down on a bed or a flat surface. Cups are applied to his skin and a vacuum is created by sucking out the air from the cup by means of suction or by heat.

The cups are left on the skin for about 10-20 minutes.

Cupping is based by on stimulating and energising meridian points at the back of your body. When the meridians are opened, energy is believed to flow all parts of the body.

Does it work ? I donno. I've tried it once and it felt OK. I would have felt better if I had a massage instead.

Food That Help You Lose Weight

According to Men Health Magazine, if you consume these, you'll lose weight:

Green tea - apparently, green tea speeds up your metabolism, so you burn more calories. You'll need to drink at least 5 cups a day for best results.

Miso soup - head to your favorite Japanese restaurant or the nearest Japanese supermarket. As it is made from seaweed and soya beans, studies show that this will help you lose weight.

Chilli - ahhhh...the Malaysian favorite. Mamak food is actually good. Lebih pedas, boss :)

Grapefruit - a grapefruit before each meal has helped dieters to lose weight and it will for you too.

Protein - eat plenty of meat. Isn't this what the Atkins' diet is all about ?

Coffee - I've never heard of this before. Have to check if Starbucks is behind this. :)

Sperm Drinking Ritual

An online portal has reported a bizarre ritual of sperm drinking amongst a small tribe in New Guinea of approximately 400 people.

In this tribe, apparently, young boys participate in a ritual of swallowing the semen of their elders, for power. As the tribe believe that the highest concentration of vital force is found in semen, thus, power is apparently transmitted to the young boys from older males via this ritual.

I suppose thats why the tribe is so fcuking small - only 400 people. They are doing the wrong thing with their sperm eh ? depositing in the worng place. LOL

I was told that in some private male boarding schools in the West, membership into a fraternity includes consuming the semen of other new recruits. The new recruits form a circle with a piece of bread or biscuit in the centre. They then compete to masturbate and ejeculate on that piece of bread or biscuit in the center of the circle. The last person to ejaculate has to eat the bread or biscuit with the sperm of others on it.

Another website has said that foods actually affects the taste of sperm. Apparently you can make your sperm taste sweet by drinking lots of pineapple juice, watermelon juice or by eating bananas or papayas. Eating a lot of red meat (like mutton and beef) can make your sperm taste more acidic - sour. Drinking lots of alcohol or coffee can make your sperm more bitter.

A female magazine claimed the health and beauty benefits of women consuming semen. It recommended mixing your lover's sperm with coke or whiskey before drinking it. I suppose this drink will be called a cock-tail, right ? (no pun intended).

What do you think guys ? LOL
