Beer Review
I’ve noticed on other beer blogs and with talking with other beer lovers a lot of us in this community also like to partake in scotch. I don’t really know why, probably because it falls into the connoisseur line of alcoholic drinks, you know, something you can totally be a lush with and yet not feel like one. There was a time when I tried to get into the scotch game but it ended disastrously. I would do what most people would do, throw like three cubes of ice into a tumbler and cover it with scotch. Then I would sit back with a book by the fire a enjoy. Except I didn’t enjoy it, I tried but it just wasn’t doing it for me. But I thought, I’ll just stick to it and I will acquire the taste. Well, after about 4 months I wasn’t getting use to this. So I slowly started to stay away from that final, evil bottle. Then, one fall day, my friend Luke came over to watch the Vikings game. We had a few beers and made some burgers and the wives went out. Also on this day the Twins were finishing up their season against the White Sox and for us to win the division we had to either beat them in the three games or have the Detroit Tigers loose theirs, or something like that. Well, that Sunday it was the final games for both teams. The Twins if I remember correctly won so all that needed to happen was Detroit to loose. And they did. And in my loose frame of mind I said, let’s celebrate. So I dug out the bottle and we had a couple drinks. Well, I must have been a bit more loose than I thought because things got really blurry from there, so blurry that I don’t recall the wives coming back and my friend leaving. The next thing I do remember is me in my underwear with my head in the toilet at 11 at night vomiting till I was crying and vowing never to touch that shit again. And I haven’t. I was sick for three days after that, it wasn’t a hangover but it triggered some illness in me. I took a break from all alcohol for about a month, it disturbed me that much. I came to conclusion that hard liquor is not for me, especially scotch/bourbon/whiskey.
