Sometimes the water of life is...well...water!...

flamin lib
(14,559 posts)Distilled in Ft Worth and available in Texas and NOLA only. Smooth with vanilla accents and a hint of wood and pecan. A couple ounces can last an hour or so. A lot of nose and a smooth burn at the end.
If you enjoy spirits and have a Texas contact you can trust not to drink it give it a try!

(66,531 posts)Hey, ailsagirl! Haven't seen you in a while...
ailsagirl
(22,912 posts)Nothing high-octane-- in fact, I shouldn't even be drinking apple cider because it's loaded with sugar.
I've sworn off Coca-Cola after finding out how freaking unhealthy it is.
It's hard for me because I hate tea and coffee-- beer and wine-- weird, huh? I just never developed a taste
for them.
Aristus
(66,531 posts)(He said, just having finished an entire bottle of wine single-handedly...). I tell all my patients, even the ones with diabetes, than an occasional treat is okay.
I remember when I was a kid, my Dad would give me a sip of his beer, or my mother would give me a taste of wine, and I hated it; I thought it was awful, and wondered how they could drink it.
Well, I found out how.
My ancestry is Welsh, Scots, Irish, English, and French, so it was more or less inevitable...

(22,912 posts)My ancestry is not nearly as multi-faceted as yours. I'm just Scots and English-- but mostly Scots
And when I was a kid, my Dad allowed me to finish off the froth of his beer-- I loved it. You'd think I'd be a real beer freak, but no. Maybe I got it out of my system early. ??
Wine always tasted sour.
shanti
(21,675 posts)with some german and dutch mixed in as well, and yes, it was pretty much inevitable, lol! i hated the taste as a kid too, but my sis and bro liked it straightaway, and used to sneak booze from the parents' liquor cabinet.
i really didn't acquire a taste for liquor until i was in my late 20's, but that age has come and gone. now, it's usually rum or vodka when i drink, cause i don't care for beer and wine unfortunately, gives me stomach pain.
