I remember back in junior high school when the rumors circulated that Coca-Cola was actually laced with cocaine. Any one else remember that one? Well, those rumors are back, but they involve Red Bull Cola this time.

Red Bull Cola is roughly a year old and is supposed to supply the same "kick" that Red Bull gives -- but officials in Germany believe the kick comes from cocaine.

Here's the problem: the Austrian-based company, Red Bull GmbH, boasts that its cola is 100% natural and it uses the coca leaf. The use of the coca-leaf extract led to positive tests for cocaine when German officials scrutinized Red Bull Cola.

Actually, the head of the food safety department in Germany's federal ministry for consumer protection stated that it "examined Red Bull Cola in an elaborate chemical process and found traces of cocaine."

Tonight on MAD MONEY, Cramer was oh-so-ready for happy hour. When he's drinking, it's cheap Scotch. When he's picking stocks, he's influenced more by the liquor store's top shelf. Cramer said he likes Diageo plc (ADR) (NYSE:DEO), because it controls 60% of the world's top liquor brands. The company has great segments, brands, and BRIC. He said Diageo can charge a premium thanks to the superior branding of its blends.

He mentioned that the company's Johnny Walker Blue is just a slightly better blend than the other Johnny Walker premium pours, not quite as good as single malt scotch. The company's BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) efforts are really paying off. Diageo (DEO) closed up 0.4% at $72.50 and traded up another 0.55% to $72.90 after he commented on this in after-hours. He thinks this is a must-own stock.
