[Raefindel]

I would tend to agree with Telchar and Squatter. People are like tea; you don't know how strong they are until you put them in hot water.

As for the recipe for orc-draught, I don't know about anyone else but if the alcahol content was too high I would fall asleep, not wake up. I would therefore have to follow Rumil's opinion that it would have to have some caffine in it; perhaps a Middle-earth kahlua.
