Volatile Rum.
The AH seems to never have it... Why is the rum always gone? ;)
When I was less experienced, I had three volatile rums in my inventory during an instance and needed more room. So I did what I always did when I had extra food or drinks and I drank them. I wiped our group because I followed a humanoid add instead of the tank and when I tried to explain why, I couldn't stop hiccuping to boot.
