_The Larry Sanders Show_ got me into Salty Dogs (Rip Torn’s character drank them). Gin and Grapefruit juice, with salt on the rim of the glass, margarita-style. mmmmmm…

Has anyone else noticed the disproportionate amount of people who order tomato juice on planes? I swear, I almost never see people ordering it in restaurants, but on a flight it seems every third person does.)

I’m given to understand that juices can be good for things like jet lagging. I know that’s true for fruit juices but I dunno if it carries over to vegetables.

That sounds pretty good. I know I have some Chambord, but I may have to get some Frangelico and try one of these. I’m not much for frou-frou girly drinks, but I occasionally like something sweet to sip on. It sounds like a variation of Kahlua and cream.  
I also like hard ciders, and if they are carbonated, it’s not as much as beer. They’re not as filling as regular beer.
