Starbucks launches alcoholic drink
As if they needed another way to get people hooked...
NEW YORK - Starbucks Corp.’s on Thursday will introduce nationwide an alcoholic coffee drink, Starbucks Coffee Liqueur, the New York Times reported.
The newspaper said the drink will be sold in bars, liquor stores and restaurants in 750-milliliter bottles for $22.99. In April, the Seattle-based coffee shop chain said it was developing the coffee liqueur in partnership with the Jim Beam unit of Fortune Brands Inc.
Starbucks said at the time the coffee liqueur would not be sold in its retail locations because it would create a range of logistic hurdles, including seeking permits to sell alcohol.

So what, it's called an Irish coffee, been bringing those to work with me for as long as I can recall, which isn't too long because of all the Irish coffee I've had. Now if Starbucks could only come up with an alcoholic coffee drink that I can smoke...boy they'd really have something.
But let's face it...nothing beats a Hot Toddy! Am I right ladies ;)
I think it's Budweiser that has just come out with a beer containing caffeine, guarana, and ginseng. So basically with the depressant quality of alcohol and the stimulant quality of everything else, you feel normal after drinking it?
