> [@QuickSilver](#): > > You drink from a bottle?.. Luxury. We always just dumped our whisky into that low spot in the driveway where the puddle forms when it rains and lapped it up from there. All the gravel and crud in there added extra flavor, and if we were lucky, some tasty insects would drown in it before we were done. The best part was being able to keep drinking long after we were no longer able to stand up. But after we found Uncle Dennis lying there in the morning with tire tracks on his head, the whisky puddle tradition kind of fell by the wayside. ---
