Maybe the ones up on Millionaire's Row would, but the last one I had at the Derby (admittedly, this was back in the 80's) wouldn't have killed much of anything, except maybe your appetite. They were pretty watered down, and they used the "original recipe," which includes Branch Water. Now if you know what branch water is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_water) it makes sense why they use it in the bourbon-making process, but it tastes to me like it was dipped out of Floyd's Fork... and by that I mean the part that runs by Miles Park, where it's basically an E. Coli farm. yuck!
