Calling Dr. Feelgood!
I first encountered the good doctor in a small, run down bar just outside of Modesto called "El Rancho." The locals were mainly farmers, and all seemed to ask for "El Doctor Dew."
I was curious so I asked the bartender what the fuss was all about. I haven't stopped drinking them since. These drinks are *great*! The Caffeine in the Mountian Dew helps keep you up all night, and the "cleansing properties" of the Dr. Pepper help "clear things up" the next morning if you know what I mean.
Anyway, the next time you find your self out drinking and you want to pick a drink that you can keep putting back all night, I highly recommend sliding up to the bar and asking for a "Dr. Dew." You won't be dissappointed.
