The trouble with HCN is that it is highly volatile, so best administered in a long cool drink on ice, or beer.
I think it was probably one of Alex's brews!
That sounds lethal. Enough caffeine and sugar to get my heart into overdrive. Two of them and I could win the Melbourne Cup while carrying the horse.
