Birdland has just left Hobbiton.

But Rimbaud. You are forgetting the "other draught" in the equation. Ent-Draught! I credit it with M&P's change in character. Nothing like growing six inches taller to put life in another perspective. I'm quite sure it must have similar effects on other parts of the body, as well (No, not that part!) Maybe it increased the volume of their ol' grey matter. The combination of Ent Draught and lembas must have turned these two into some kind of uber-Hobbits, and more than likely counteracted any effects of that nasty ol' Orc-Draught.

An also, remember that Frodo became much more of a pacifist after his adventure, even declining to wear a weapon anymore. Not the effect you would want Orc Draught to have.

As to what it was made from; it must have been some form of plant based liquor. I don't think animal parts will ferment, thank goodness.
