    When I was in Jamaica several years ago, I had a Pina Colada made with Jamaican white rum.
    Trust me, after only 1 drink, I was speaking Patois. "yeah, man"!

    Every time we were in Jamaica at the bar they always shouted "Fire Wata!!"

    You've heared about people who claim to be allergic to alcohol and figured it was a polite way to say that they're recovering, right? Uhmmmm.......there actually ARE people who really and truly DO have allergic reactions to alcohol ~ I'm one of 'em :blushing: :drinker: =:sick: Doesn't matter if it's wine, beer, liquor or combination thereof. Said alcoholic beverage hits the stomach, makes a U-turn, leaving gawd-awful gastro-intestinal evidence behind, headaches..........sooo NOT something worth deliberately experiencing! My mother, 2 of my maternal aunts and my maternal uncle (rest them all)were the same way so I've always figured that it was some genetic quirk that came from that side of the family. I can tolerate things like fruitcake that had had rum added to it prior to baking so I'm guessing that since the cooking process burns off the alcohol, it's the actual alcohol that's the :devil: Dunno ~ just know that the spirits around here are more of the noncorporeal kind :wink: :bigsmile: :laugh:

    Doesn't matter to me how much alcohol fruit cake has in it.....:sick:

    :laugh:

    You poor, dear! :flowerforyou: (Although my liver envies yours) :embarassed:

    ...along those lines - I like eggnog w/bourbon too. :bigsmile:

    OMG - is it Xmas yet? Can I just pretend??!! Loves me some 'nog & bourbon. Of course, I loves me some 7Up & bourbon, Diet Coke & bourbon, Gatorade & bourbon.....notice a theme? :noway: :wink: I was on a vodka jag for about 2 years (yes, I drank LOTS of Cosmo's - thank you!), did it all, now getting into bourbon. So tasty!

    As for your scotch comment, I mostly agree but I do enjoy the McCallen 18; very nice on ice. I should post a pic of my bar sometime; we like us some alkyhal!!! :drinker:

    Jamaican's have a way of making every thing they say sound very cool.

    My favorite at-home drink is Absolut Pear with lemonade(country time) and a splash of cranberry. :tongue:

    Or......MGD lite if I'm in the mood for beer

    Or......captain and diet sprite, yum! :drinker:

    Pear vodka and 7Up w/splash of pineapple juice is a frequent choice at our house. So good...
