We used to take a hypodermic syringe with a horse needle on it and use it to inject oranges with vodka. After they sat overnight you couldn’t detect any alcohol until you actually ate one. Each orange was the equivalent of a screwdriver. I scored the outside of the needle to render it useless for intravenous injection just in case it was ever discovered.
GMTA!
Injecting oranges with alcohol goes back at least to when Rutherford P. Hayes was President. First Lady Lucy Hayes was known as “Lemonade Lucy” after she decreed that no alcoholic beverages would be served in the White House during her husband’s administration.
For four years there was a steady traffic in rum-filled oranges smuggled into the WH during official functions.
Anyway, I enjoy a drink as much as anyone but I wait until the day is over and survival instincts don’t need to be at their sharpest. Drinking during the day? Yuk!!
