| Lack, yes. Fatal, I don't think so. I've never heard of anyone dying from a lack of alcohol. At least not the kind you ingest.

| Hmmm... Bloody brain?
2 units peach spirit on bottom, layer 1 unit Bailey's on top and pour grenadine over so it pulls down Bailey's that forms a bloody brain? | |

I wouldn't add anything to the water, though. Perish the thought of ruining my fine single malt with water! Not even ice touches my single malt. Ever.

Mmmmmm. | Vodka is my water and it will not be ruined by ice, or that H2O abomination I keep hearing about.
Why would one want to drink the same kind of liquid that one washes with is beyond me.

A toast to coaches, former and present! May they forever live in our hearts and lunges. 
*Sniff* I miss my old coaches.  Though my new one is alright.
