Love the dry cocktails. Martini guy for the longest time but kept on going drier and drier. Now I just get vodka on the rocks, twist of lemon. Pungent, dry, almost undrinkable by lesser men – and women find it incomprehensible. They have their Kool-Aid drinks and I have my cup of rubbing alcohol. Ne’er the twain shall meet.

Sadly, my stomach will not let me pull down more than a few shots’ worth. If I had known my stomach was going to trouble me later in life, I would not have squandered my youth drinking cheap tequila.
