Oh, there were so many: I love Southern Comfort straight, or with just about any mixing liquid. Jaegermeister straight (don’t ever beerbong this stuff) Meth and Ecstacy in huge, elephant-stopping doses. Anything that would make me hallucinate profusely. But that was the old me. I am all responsible and $hit now. \*) ---

did I mention I like beer, I really really like beer…it’s the flavour I like, not so much in quantity, although after work two is good…however, logged out, was going upstairs when I heard the terrible sound of hubby rattling around in the cold cellar (which is where I keep my beer) also unfortunately my empties, um, there seems to be a lot…anyway, I’m about to 🙂 get the “you can’t buy more beer until you take the empties back” lecture. So I was thinkin’, if I just sit here and keep typing…here he comes…darn, gotta go! Well, have to go to the post office to mail my valentines, anyway. (And, since I’m going to the beer store anyway…) 🙂 ---

Lately, it’s been the enormous (and relatively cheap) 28oz Hoegaartens available at a local burger joint. Two rounds of those will get you nice and tingly. ---

When we went on our cruise last year, the duty-free shop introduced me to my new friend “Johnny Walker Black”. All of a sudden, Jack Daniels didn’t taste so good. (damned duty free shop) -lv ---

Try this for a new and improved Margarita: equal parts of Corona, frozen lime juice (full strength, not mixed), and tequila. It is convenient to use a 12 ounce bottle of Corona, a 12 ounce can of lime juice, and 12 ounces of tequila. I know it sounds horrible, but it tastes pretty dang good. I have had an aversion to all things tequila for a long time (firearms were involved - don’t ask), but I must admit that this libation is rather tolerable. ---

I’ll have to try this one. ---
