Last night I had 2 shots of Fireball. The stuff isn’t that strong alcohol wise. It’s only 66 proof. I did not drink any other alcoholic beverages. (I didn’t have any in the house:()As I did not have any beer in the house, I chased the Fireball shots with spring water.  
I did not eat any spicy foods or anything like that.

Today, that whiskey is coming out. Or at very least, the flavor additive is. Christ, it burns!:eek:

What exactly are they using to flavor that stuff? It’s not agreeing with my intestines.

Also, do all farts have the same temperature coming out?

If so, why do some feel sooooo hot?

Yeah, but that aint real cinnamon they’re using. Must be something artifical. My a\*\* is on fire from the stuff and it’s been more than 24 hours. I only had 2 shots for crying out loud!
