Spill, Gator...what is Golden Monkey? And should I feel dumb not moving what it is?

[cport]

Not knowing, dammit

Same time of day, same amount of sleep, same diet/solid and liquid before hand.

Was she watching Trump or Biden before drinking?

—. Lol.

This latter one I’m sure makes a difference. One will turn you stomach.

Before I had to take meds that do not mix with alcohol, all I drank was Belgian ale. When you get used to that, regular beer tastes nasty.

Any chance you can just get hammered nightly instead of taking medicine? :)

Regular beer tastes like dirty water after that stuff.

[MikeSteelBe]

Not a bad idea, but I have some kind of funky arthritis and the meds work well.

What about cocaine?
Pot?

Just fyi, I have lots of great ideas...

If I still drank, which I don’t, the idea of putting whiskey in Coke (Diet or otherwise) should be openly mocked as the behavior of a dumb college student. If you don’t like the taste of alcohol, you probably shouldn’t drink it.

Putting sugary soda into a distilled drink means you should probably stick to wine coolers.

Cheap whiskey like Segram’s 7 Crown is for mixing, and my preferred mixer is Diet 7 Up.
