mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Chalky

Is this a weapon?

ImNotJohn

[Raak] Is the vegetable part wood? - NO
[Chalky] a weapon? - NO
I think it only fair to mention that there were some mutterings in the audience at my last answer to Irouléguy

Rosie

If one ate it would the consequences be dire?

ImNotJohn

[Rosie] dire consequences - YES (though that's probably not helpful)

Chalky

Is this a medicine?

ImNotJohn

[Chalky] medicine? - NO, although some would claim medicinal properties for it (some laughter in the audience)

CdM

Larger than a telephone box?

ImNotJohn

[CdM] Larger than a telephone box? - NO

CdM

A bottle of whisky?

ImNotJohn

[CdM] bottle of whisky? - NO (but loud and prolonged applause from the audience)

Néa

Some type of alcohol?

ImNotJohn

[Néa] alcohol? - YES

Irouléguy

Tequila?

ImNotJohn

This could take a while by this method

[Iroul] Tequila? - NO
To clarify. The answer is 'A bottle of .......', which explains the mineral, the dire consequences on eating etc. We're now just looking for the contents.

ImNotJohn

I thought someone would be there by now

I'll be away from t'interweb until about 0800 GMT now. I'd go out and look for some inspiration for the answer (could be hard for Flerdle).

Raak

A bottle of beer?

Rosie

A bottle of methylated spirit?

Mad Carew

Poteen?

CdM

Is the missing word (or words) a generic type of alcoholic drink (e.g., beer, wine) or more specific (e.g., Samuel Adams, 1960 Chateau Petrus...)
