OT: The booze you refuse

'Takillya'

I'm pretty sure you're not my cousin, but did you learn it in Pac Asia? "It's out ta kill ya," I think he got that from time in the Marines (Okinawa).

Ever have a Screaming Nazi Rico?

1/3 jaeger, 1/3 rumplemintz, 1/3 goldschlager....chill it

Hammer time

Mein Gott...

and a "Hammer" is a party girl, as in "sie ist die Hammer"!

Can't look at:
Tequila, hugged too many thrones after drinking it in large quantities. Hmm ta kill ya...

Can't understand why people drink it:
Blended Scotch, lord it's got the kerosene taste without the tequila buzz.

Watched many people over do it:
Schnapps. No, you drink one two schnapps during a night of drinking beers. If it's the boys being loud, then three four five, but you are not driving walking standing for long. But ten to a dozen, no thank you, I learned from ta-kill-ya not to drink these things in that manner.

I drink it but you shouldn't:
Hot Tang and bourbon. Yes, that's hot -boiling- water added to powdered orange drink Tang, into which a generous portion of bourbon is poured. Learned it from a guy on the Appalachian Trail, and now some 40 years later, I only bring Tang into the mountains for this drink. Wild Turkey, Old Grandad, Four Roses, Jim Beam, they all work.

No, was in service at the time but it was just the guys back home. Was close enough to be home every weekend. So much for seeing the world.

Tequila - you don't want to know.

Scotch, even good stuff, tastes like gasoline to me. I wish I could learn to appreciate it.

Goldschlager/Jager/SoCo - the hard alcohol I drank in college. Somehow back then I would drink 15-25 drinks in a night trying to get hammered. I much prefer my 3 beers and bed routine now.

The only thing I CANT drink is gin. I must be allergic to it somehow, mainly because my throat feels like it is closed up the next day and I don't think that's a good thing to mess with.

Other than that, i can drink anything regardless of having gotten sick on it 35 years ago. I actually think it's odd that you could drink something one night 30 years ago and not even be able to smell it. But you get sick off beer 100x more and still drink beer. I think the truth is that, at 40, 45, 50...you just don't have much reason to drink Dubra or Sour apple schnapps or SoCo and it makes for a good story.

Tequila!

I'm getting close to going the way of Tom, which will be difficult as I do like beer, wine, and particularly, scotch. Plus, there's nothing like a (good) gin and tonic on a hot day. But I'm drinking less and less, and my stomach reacts more and more poorly to all types of booze with each passing year.

Well, it's official . . . we now know why beer has been bothering my gut. Did an allergy test because I've had some strange reactions to various foods recently. Turns out, I'm allergic to hops.

Future beer consumption will be with a Benadryl chaser . . .
