Beer/wine is one thing, liquor quite another... PARTICULARLY for a child.
Fireball is a sweet liquer and much too tempting to let little kids try. It should only be drunk in small amounts.
I had gotten into the habit of pouring a tumbler of it over ice in the evening, sipping 2-4 oz with a cigar. After a couple months my fingers & toes started tingling with neuropathy pain, so I went back to bourbon and soda over ice with just a dash of Fireball. The pain went away.
Actually, at that fancy dinner in Paris, one of the beverages served with a course was blackberry juice and vodka.
I don’t drink liquor, well, maybe once in a blue moon I might have a finger or two of Makers Mark. But it’s damn rare. Can’t stand the hard stuff.
But yea, beer and wine are one thing, booze another.
