Oh I know. I'm a lesbian, not a dyke. The difference is that the former can be perfectly friendly with men, they just aren't interested in getting in bed with them. Dykes are pissed with men. Be it a rape experiance, too much toxic feminism, or just they think they're entitled makes little difference. I think they're just too masculine myself. :

And I'd be happy to get you coffee, if you'll get me a Mtn Dew.

Fair enough....thank you....I'll bring one for both of us.....MANY a morning I've started out with a cup of coffee in one hand and a cold Mtn Dew in the other......I like my caffiene in megadoses...

...the Mtn Dew is only 'cause I couldn't find a Jolt.

Ah, you poor thing...you have obviously never discovered the joys of Irn Bru, "Scotland's Other National Drink". If you want your caffeine in megadoses, this here's the thing.

Ah, Scotland--where the drinks are manly and the men are drunk. . . . Or, is that Ireland?

Silly boy, you can probably find Irn Bru locally in any brit food store or get it at Amazon.com. I think there's a place in Old Town that has it.

I love ginger beer and some stuff from Italy called Beverly.

Works for both countries, actually!

Actually I think that goes for just about every culture outside of Utah and the middle east. It's funny but probably accurate that archeologists suspect so much agricultural development was not done for the sake of survival and food stores, but simply to produce enough inebriants to keep every one happy!

Same here.

Now that makes me wonder just exactly what kind of first alcohol experience you two had?!

My first "hard" drink was a well made and chilled Mai Tai. Made with a smooth dark rum....it was delicious.....my only mistake was 4 or 5 of them with little more than finger foods to eat.

Oh yeah, I felt like hell the next morning, thought I was going to die, and was scared that I wouldn't.

That taught me moderation....but I loved the drinks. Maybe the fact that I rarely ever do shots and usually stick to mixed drinks might have something to do with my enjoyment.....and I never go out with the express intention of getting smashed. Probably the fact that I rode a motorcycle exclusively for many years has something to do with that mindset. Driving drunk in a car is idiotic.....driving drunk on a bike is suicidal.

I do enjoy my alcohol, but as I said in moderation, and my two current favorites are Long Island Ice Tea, and Coke with Meyers Dark Rum and a twist of lime.......yum!

I just never could stand the taste of it, and I want to keep full control of my mental facilities.

99% of the time I have to stay in complete control of my faculties....my job demands it...for that 1% left over, I enjoy a little inebriation either with friends or relaxing in front of a movie, or geeking around with some of my gadgets.

I had something like this happen to me when I was four, at a barbecue at a relative's house. I ran back in and drank a tall glass of milk. There's one reason I never experimented with drugs.

Well if it makes you happy, I'm all for it.

Y'know, I can understand Sharuuk's atitude there. When you're in a position of continual responsibility, when you aren't allowed to do ANYTHING that might reduce your efficiency or the speed of your response to an emergency... When you don't go to a movie or buy a restaurant dinner because you might get called while enjoying it... Sometimes when you're finally off-duty you might want to have a drink just to prove to yourself that yes, you CAN relax now.

I just don't drink, never tasted alcohol, don't want to, watching Quentyn experience it is as close as I want to get to it.
