Rainbow Bright...not just a cartoon anymore.

Rainbow Brights are evil. E-V-I-L, evil. There you are, sitting at the bar with some friends just trying to have some fun and socialize a little bit. The next thing you know you are chugging Rainbow Brights with some girls just because they are cute. The thing is, each one goes down sooooo easily. Its like fruit punch.

"What exactly is a Rainbow Bright," you ask? Well, since I am such a nice guy I will tell you. It is one shot glass with all of the flavored vodkas (no peppar) and then dropped into a half glass of red bull. After dropping, the proper method of consumption is chugging. Sipping it is frowned upon. But it really does taste like fruit juice and chugging it is not at all unpleasant. You almost feel healthy after drinking it...thats just the red bull kicking in though; if you wait about 8 hours then you will definitely know otherwise. Since they go down so easy and cute girls seem to like them so much, Rainbow Brights tend to come in waves. They are kind of like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one. You might think you can have just one but there is inevitably someone there with another. My advice, DONT START.

Fortunately, in a lot of cases, the name makes not starting really easy. I mean really, can you imagine walking into a biker bar and ordering a Rainbow Bright? I think thats a good way to get beat up by the guy who is wearing the leather XXL MURDERCYCLES jacket. OK, so the biker bar is a little extreme. Who would be dumb enough to go in there in the first place? Certainly not me...ok, maybe me. But not most people. The point is, unless you are surrounded by cute girls OR you are 6-8 and 250 pounds with a pirate beard, ordering a drink called the Rainbow Bright can raise some questions.

So that brings me to right now, sitting on the couch cursing those girls for being too #$^%#% cute. Was it fun last night? Yes. Fun now? Definitely not. This just serves as a reminder that drinking too much vodka is bad. Its really not something that you want to do on a normal basis. Occasionally, yes. Frequently, no. That is why, from now on, I will drink nothing but rum.
