I am a man of class, taste, distinction and etiquette. I adore fine wine. I, however, am not an old bugger (well, not quite) and I have to vouch for the benefits of Champagne & Red Bull.
It works. It packs a punch (probably as the Red Bull makes it a highly gluggable drink), but keeps you going at the same time.
When things start to get really expensive/messy, I am also partial to Vodka, Champagne & Red Bull (or Liquid Cocaine as the Chinawhite set call it). Wimps need not apply.
When I was a student I had a can of special brew at 9am once. Special brew = student champagne?
I did a number of strange things when I was a student.
Bacon sarnies and a cans of special brew at 4am was very surreal. While queueing overnight for the accomodation agency to open so we could get the house we wanted.

My only experience of Special Brew was also at uni. In the first year I stayed in the halls of residence and one night a group of us started downing a few cans of the stuff. 30 minutes later I was on a promise with a rather nice irish girl. 45 mins later she was in bed comatose having chucked her guts up. An hour later I had my head out of my bedroom window puking my guts up because I knew I wouldn't make the loo.
There is a stain down the wall from my first floor room that's still there to this day over 15 years later. I'm not sure if it was the special brew or my stomach acid that bleached the wall, but after missing out on a guaranteed shag I've never touched the stuff since.
