  • Better idea, no Inane topics 3 weeks.! 

  • Sounds like the Thai braking distance.

  • Are you suggesting we (more like some) stop posting every little thought that pops into our (again, more like some) heads?  Oh the humanity.

Ethyl?

Methyl?

 

What about gasohol E20?

 

Without ethanol rotting the brain cells, memorization of vocabulary should become more efficient.

It's no secret that the Mormon missionary youth in Taiwan (and elsewhere) are super proficient at foreign language acquisition.

They don't drink ethanol, nor tea, nor do they take caffeine or use tobacco.

It shows.

They always seem so happy...

I think 3 to 4 weeks per drink is a sweet spot. So once a month if rounded.

I bought a $100 bottle of Barbancourt Haitian rum in Laos, I had never had the 5* variety.

 

Like a quiet cloud of the cane slow-shifting my mouth. Havana Club Blue Label is still the best alcohol on earth, tho. 

 

And a month later, that bottle is still half full (for two drinkers). Why be a pig? I def like about 2-6 alcohol shots a week.

 

If a place has a for-real Lychee Martini, I'm in. Is there a bunch of lychee's soaking in a big jar of vodka behind the bar? Why isn't the Galangal Sour more of a thing?

 

Booze is the most popular food on earth for 10,000 years for a reason.

Can't relate to the issue not being a drinker at all, quit smoking though several years ago, which i loved, owing to health concerns, other than that, no vices at all, a real angle I'm.

I tend to look at that from a different angel.

(I can understand their point about abstinence concerning alcohol and tobacco. But I don't understand the part about no vaginal sex until just after wedlock.)

 

 

I am quite happy to make do with a BJ in the interim.

Methyl alcohol is poisonous, it's where blindness and death come from with illicit alcohol. Hence the term blind drunk. It is metabolized to formaldehyde in the liver.

Oddly enough, the therapy for methanol poisoning is to imbibe even more ethanol, as it speeds up elimination.

Yes.

Of course I realize this important point.

However, one other point about which you might not be aware.

During the bootlegger days in the US, it was not the methyl alcohol fraction of the drink that killed people.

Because smiles sell, as per politicians, salesmen, and those wanting to get something from others. They also hide how a person is really feeling, because of the former.

They feel good about themselves, which is the most important thing in love. Self love first. A person who's become addicted has a hard time getting rid of that addiction, as any cigarette smoker can attest. I think it's great that they want to better themselves. Drinking isn't a problem until it becomes an addiction, and the damage it can cause. Some have to stay away from it and it's very hard. Give them credit because you don't understand it if you're not going through it. Just like having depression. If you don't want to add constructive comments, you don't have to reply. Easy.

Enlighten me, what else? Apart from the alcohol itself, that is.

Currently watching "Boardwalk Empire". A bit nostalgic, as I was in Atlantic City for a conference in 1986.

Well said. Being a critic is easy. They never build statues for critics.

Yes it was, besides of course bullets and death from drinking too much anyway.

Excluding your OCD thread posting, of course.

Never think about alcohol till eating something that warrants, deserves, is worthy enough to wash down with the suds of the GODS.

 

Now if they would only start making Kopper again.  I have 1 Snowy left, and fear I may never buy another slab of, as it's just not the same.  Takes months for me to finish a slab of Snowy.
