Anatomy of a poko bender.
Poko is a unique, magical blend: An absurdly powerful liquor to be sure, but it has a second component, and this is what makes the drink so potentially dangerous, as it offsets, for a time, the depressant aspect of the drink...
Poko is a lot like a magically enhanced Jager Bomb, as it also contains enough caffeine, among other stimulants, to make a statue jump up and start dancing. So, instead of feeling groggy, clumsy, or depressed, poko makes you as hyper as a three year old who just drank ten Red Bulls, a dozen Five Hour Energy shots, and snorted fifty pixie sticks. Meanwhile, the alcohol does wonders in removing your inhibitions, so that you have slightly less restraint than said three year old.
That is why poko benders tend to be a whole lot more... interesting than your average drunken bender: It turns you into something like if the Tazmanian Devil ripped out the Energizer Bunny's heart and ate it, gaining his powers. But like I said, it is also very dangerous, since once that stimulant effect wears off, your former friend, Mister Alcohol, will come up behind you and whack you in the back of the head with a frying pan...
And stimulants typically wear off a heck of a lot faster than depressants.
I think this may answer a lot of questions you may have been pondering about when it comes to poko.
My only problem with that is that mixing a stimulant with a depressant (like, say, caffeine and alcohol, respectively) can lead to heart failure and other such delightful side effects. Other than that minor issue, it looks good.
Hmm... What happens if you mix Poko with a Pangalactic Gargleblaster?
WHERE DO YOU GET POKO?
STRAIGHT PONY SHALL DRINK AND BECOME FIGHTING DRUNK!
3209727 well first off the hangover feels like your head has been smashed with a gold brick wrapped in a lemon peel, and I'd imagine half your brain cells said sorry not having this and die. The other half probably say WTH was that? a small child with a Louisville slugger has stirred your grey matter in a widdershins manner all while sprinkling lemon zest across your frontal lobes. after that it probably feels different person to person.
Most of the last three generations of my family (including this one) have died due to alcohol and drugs, and they're two big reasons why my childhood was absolute shit.
This doesn't make me feel good things about your story at all.
Hey kinda off topic but is "The King Is Dead, Long Live The Emperor!" on a hiatus or cancelled? Even a note saying no progress would be better then nothing, thanks.
HOW THE HELL DO I MAKE POKO?!

Take a tuft of cloud, a bright rainbow's glow, stir with a pegasus feather, fast, not slow.
Then, you add about thirty different forms of hard liquor, the drool of a bugbear, and the tears of a manticore. If it turns black, then you have poko. If it turns red... RUN!!!
Serve it to ponies who aren't in the know.
