Kraft der Erde aka. "KDE" , is a comon drink in Austria, mainly consisting of Stolichnaya vodka aka. "Stoli", carbonated water and a shot of lemon.
The perfect KDE consists of 60% cold sparkling water, 35% "Stoli" and 5% lemon juice.

It is the perfect drink for getting wasted and avoiding a hangover at the same time.

It "schwaps" (tastes) like lemon water and acts like booze.

It is the main beverage of the Lörsterer cartel as well as the In Time G´s group and at is served at every big gathering.
-I want to get wasted but stay hydrated , let´s drink some KDE (Kraft der Erde) tonight!

-My cub is empy, who´s going to serve the next carafe of KDE (Kraft der Erde)?

KDE stands for the "Kraft Diner Effect". KDE happens when you don't properly chew and or eat it too fast. You start to get pains in you chest and back from the gooey load of KD that's slowly sliding down your esophagus. This can happen can also happen with other foods but is always called KDE.

I love using "kig" for help on my geometry homework and "flashkard" for help memorizing. Except I have to load up kdeinit because I'm only using fluxbox.
