Because 2020 sucks and I have to much free time on my hands Im starting the psychological torture today. Mostly because I need proper vanilla for the holidays and it needs time to get it right. 20 vanilla pods split & halved in 750ml of Good rum (Patron tequila bottles are absolutely perfect for this by the way... once you “get rid” of the tequila.....) Now yah all can just sit there & imagine whats to come.... Scottish/Canadian Christmas Cooking starts now! Scottish/Canadian Christmas Cooking Porn 2018 Scottish/Canadian Christmas Food Porn 2019
I am impressed beyond words at your stamina - Tequila always put me under the table pretty quick. I'm a Tanqueray fan in as much as I'm still feeling human the next day....
Never?! omg! I cannot drink tequila any longer. it has to do with a week in mexico and a train ride back to USA with no water and no food. This is true early prep for Christmas!
Never. I dont seem to react “normally” to alcohol... i don't get a buzz or anything. Maybe a bit “relaxed” after a couple drinks but not tippsy or buzzed etc. Most the time I don't really drink, maybe a cider or a single drink on occasion but Most ive had at one time was either = to 9 shots rum and 2 shots tequila and I went from nothing more than a bit relaxed straight to a bit of a headache after the last one (but no “buzz or anything in-between” ) which lasted about 1/2 hour. No hangover or anything the next day. Or 2x ciders, 4 shots tequila, double shot whiskey. And 2-3 shots rum (mixed drink, didn't actually measure) plus some citrinoge(sp?) and a couple glasses of champagne Spaced out over a couple hours so not all at once. Felt fine and no hangover the next day. I also get absolutely no effect from coffee either. No buzz or perky uppy... can drink a double espresso before bed and it wont keep me up.
