    shit booze isn't an option. If it's not a name brand I won't touch it (with the exception of single malt of course)....

    Alright, S05E01 of breaking bad right now with a glass of sierra nevada porter... back in about 50 minutes ;)
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I have never had a good experience drunk on gin. :fp:

    I did but...

    When was was 16 thru 18 I drank gin like it was going out of style (remember in Canada, legal drinking age is 19, so it sounds worse than it really was)... got sick on it so many times I can't even smell the stuff 12 years later and it makes me want to vomit...

    Give me a single malt on the rocks any day...

    speaking of which... which one should I have this evening? There's a 10 yr Talisker, McCallans 12 yr, and a 16 yr distill-masters dram of Lagavullin open in the liquor cabinet.... (i know none of those spellings are right...)

    damn i have expensive taste :fp:

    Lagavullin all the way!!!!

    Mmmmm, gin! Definitely my 1st choice tipple of an evening. I always have some bottles of Bombay stashed away at home. I have several people who let me know whenever they're traveling overseas & ask if I need any duty free booze/gin. Several people have advised me Tanqueray is better that Bombay but the blue bottle is just so sexy.

    Right, sun is well over the yardarm here, where is that bottle....Oh & I own the martini glasses to one day have more martinis in my life, living on my own though I don't think it's a good habit to get into just yet.

    Gin and tonic with mint and lime is my drink of choice!

    I prefer Tanq 10.

    No one understands my love of this clear liquid and call me grandma for drinking it.

    I don't know if all Gin bottles have this warning. But when I was a teen, 1 of my buddies would drink it every once in awhile (forget brand) and there was a warning label on the bottle that said "Drinking in excess may cause temporary blindness" That always cracked me up :lol::lol:

    I love Bombay but I haven't had it in a few years. Might have to order some the next time I'm out.

    My grandma drinks it. Only person I know who does. Dad gave me a taste of Gordon's firewater when I was 4 or 5.

    I like a good Gin Tonic every now and then, but after having read Moll Flanders, my Gin intake decreased a lot :?

    Tastes like a tree :) Truth!! The taste comes from the extract of Junpier berries. Next time you see one, crush the small 'cones' in your fingers, and have gin fingers for the rest of the day. mmmmmm gin fingers
    Sometimes I speak of nothing at all.
