Phat Loot Phriday: Mirren's Drinking Hat

Unfortunately for us Hordies, this snazzy hat is Alliance-only. But if you're the right faction, the MDH is the perfect headgear for drinks on the go!
Name: Mirren's Drinking Hat
Type: Rare Cloth Head
Armor: 92
Abilities:
- +18 Intellect
- Increases spell damage and healing by 35, which makes it a nice quest reward for any caster around level 62 or so
- Restores 5 mana per 5 sec, which makes it even better
- And here's the fun part: Use: Reach into the hat for a drink. That's right, once every 60 minutes, you can use this hat and get a free drink in your inventory. The drink changes all the time, but it's usually some type of alcohol (naturally-- you get it from a dwarf). And some of the drinks that come out actually work as mana drinks, too, although at one every hour, it's not quite enough to live off of.
Bring back the feathers and he'll give you this pimp hat, obviously named after 2007 Best Actress Oscar Winner Helen Mirren.
Now, Horde, like I said, this quest isn't for you-- this is, unfortunately, an Alliance-only item. But don't worry-- you still get free booze! Down in Stonebreaker Hold, there's a barrel to the left of the inn that you can click to get some free Stonebreaker Brew! (the barrel despawns when too many players use it at one time, so if it's not there, check back later) Free booze!
Apparently there's also a clickable barrel for Alliance at Allerian Point. But since they get this hat, we just won't tell them about that one.
Getting Rid of It: Sells to a vendor for 1g 85s 22c, or disenchants (req 225) into either Arcane Dust, Lesser Planar Essence, or a very small chance of a Small Prismatic Shard.

Boo! I hate it when great items like this are wasted on the Alliance.

Incidentally, at Allerian Point if you get really drunk (3-4 drinks usually) you will see Pink Elekks around the Alliance town. Obviously a homage to Dumbo.

The hat is cool and all, good stats and good way to implement the "drinking hat" mechanic, altough the 1 hour cooldown really sets it off. Is it too much one drink every 10 minutes? Overpowered? Come on Bliz! you made some great 2 minute trinkets for outland and this wouldn't hurt
It would also help if it looked like an actual drinking hat

you need a NETHERGARDE BITTER which you can only get from, zing!, Nethergarde Keep in Blasted lands, on the left keep when entering the place from the main entrance.
