Well, the inorganic poisions will work fine, but not so sure about the others. As you push the organic ones across light speed, they may well switch to another isomer, and so lose their effect.
Of course, if you fail to keep the spin field constant, all of the atoms will convert to antimatter, and so when they make contact with the whisky, will release some energy.
Lets assume you use a subtle dose of these poisons
100mg
And they make contact with the same amount of mass in the whisky
total 200 mg
assuming the same mass efficiency as a modern nuclear weapon.
5%
4mg destroyed
E= MC^2
= 4*10^-6 * 9*10^16
= 3.6 * 10^11 joules
Is equivilent to 10 tonnes TNT, IIRC
Of course, an antimatter detonation may have an efficieny of 100%, pushing the yield up to
200 tonnes TNT
Better be careful with that stuff, stronger than it looks...
