In 1984 I found a bag of weed in the university parking lot...not being a pot smoker, I immediately sold it to a hippy friend, took the 15 bucks to the record store and bought Metallica's Kill em All, and Manowar's Sign of the Hammer (the heaviest new metal of the day). Then a quart of Colt 45. I was banging a buzzed head within an hour of my first encounter with "drugs", celebrating my good fortune.
What are you drinking?

:d great !
When I was a teenager, I often visited the Cotton in my hometown Marl in Germany. It was/is an old farm where the m.ost a.lienated r.otten l.osers live, mainly punks and art people and mentally deranged cats and dogs.
There used to be a music festival every year featuring local bands, but also one time Culture Shock played, later to change their name into Citizen Fish.
I was around 16 when I was rather deranged myself from too many beers and too much pot on a Cotton party. When another joint was given to me, I didn't mind the funny smell and the strange taste, I was already out of orbit and didn't care. Now being completely fucked up, I decided to walk home.
I must have walked the right streets with a nice blackout because I regained consciousness while I walked, sleepwalking toxhead.
I entered my parents' flat in the middle of the night having two thoughts:"Toilet." / "Sleep."
I locked the bathroom door and passed out. I will never know for how long I rested on the floor until I woke up again. Finally I went to bed.
On the next day, my entire family was in our living room talking about all kind of things like usual on sundays while I was sunbathing on the balcony.
The sky had the most unnatural orange and the leaves a green I have never seen again. I was surrounded by alive colours of a surreal painting because I had smoked heroin the night before.
It is untrue that you're immediately addicted, but the risk is high and the one who gave the heroin joint to me was a dumbass fool.
I never cherished trying out the drug again on purpose.
The son of god saved my life. Since that day, every morning Jesus appears to me like a star wars hologram shining out of my toaster. He demands:
" Don't take any drugs! Except for nicotine, because I am a heavy chainsmoker myself, sheep!"

Haha, I don't know who to believe anymore when it comes to the danger/benefits of booze but I'm gonna go with this guys theory either way.

After I read this, I went into the kitchen and there he was, shining out of my kitchen sink! My new adorable master, wearing a halo of bottles around his head.
His words are my new law:
" You're gonna die young if you stay sober and what's worse is it's going to be a lonely death. When was the last party you've been invited to? You can't remember. All your friends turn their back on you because you never drink. You're boring. You've been more fun when you were skateboarding with six beers in. The gashes you earned from ollying through the bottle pyramid they built for you made you a man. They made you one of them. Now get your sorry ass to the liqueur store and start a party!"

You are indeed destined to do evil things now. Here are two evil things to start with:
1. Run flashing down the streets of your neighbourhood yelling " I AM THE ANTICHRIST!"
2. Burn down a catholic church. Hmm... the denomination doesn't matter in your demonization. Just burn down a church.
You'll be inspired ...

....and it's your Birthday. You go girl start running down the street. It is still winter, isn't it?
More fresh squeezed lemonade. New lemons from our neighbor who died and his house is vacant. I'll drink a toast to CRBSMILE.:D
Why is Jagermeister so popular in the USA by the way?
Last week I went out with work friends, we were all very stressed, we drank cocktails, lots of Sambuca shots, double vodkas at which point my memory fails me.
The next morning I woke up looked in the mirror and had a chipped tooth and a face full of blood. Apparently I had been leaving the pub and fallen three steps down on to my face, smashing one of my front teeth and slicing off the top layer of flesh on my chin.
I think I'm definitely getting too old to do shots, it's time to hand in my notice and stick to drinking vodka. Keep away from the Sambuca folks!

I don't know. It tastes like cough medicine. I have a good friend who swears by it, but when I drink it I end up like Sulkpot. I haven't touched it in 2 years, but I'll be seeing my friend next week and I know she'll try to sucker me into it...I am determined to stay strong! Shots are seldom a good idea anyway. CRB:)

I made some more lemonade with which I made the best Margarita-for my wife.
When you squeeze those fresh lemons it makes the whole house smell fresh and clean.
I think the dogs don't like that.

It gives a bit of a narcotic buzz, in fact there was a rumor that opium was an ingredient, like the government might allow a beverage to contain this. It was a German digestif for a long time before they decided to go outside with it. Their advertising campaign is to sponser bands and events and they never have any traditional advertising. It became popular with rock bands and their fans starting in the early nineties I'm guessing. Goldshlager was introduced at the same time but hasn't been as popular, rumor was the "gold" in it were actual gold shaving (hee, hee).
Does taste like cough syrup but gives an odd buzz like Tequila, It does have a strange effect on some (like Tequila). An interesting fact is that it is brewed for five years, just like Scotch.
I know what Jagermeister is by the way, I just couldn't really fathom why it was so popular in the States. It's not so different from a lot of other herbal digestifs (many of which also taste pretty medicinal) so I wondered why it had done so well over there. I suppose a lot of it is down to luck, timing, good marketing and so on.
By the way: Goldschlager really does have gold leaf in it. I shit you not.

Yeah, when you shit it's still there so it must be gold. It holds up in puke too.
I heard the idea is that minute nicks are made in your throat when you drink it so the alcohol gets to your blood stream quicker. Is anybody in that much of a hurry to get drunk?
Probably just a gimmick anyway.
I prefer its taste to Jagermeister, although it wouldn't be the first thing I'd think of to order if I was drinking 'shorts'.

Are they? I believe it is gold leaf. At least that's how it was advertised when they introduced it. And you know advertising never lies...
Anyway, using gold leaf in food presentation is actually not unheard of.
According to Snopes, the gold is real, but the bit about inducing cuts to get the alcohol into one's system faster is bunk. Would you really need to anyway? Alcohol is rapidly absorbed in the gut and does its job in a matter of less than a minute.
