Looking forward to some fun...

(66,587 posts)And after we saw the New Year in, the hosts passed around miniature hot air balloons to the guests. We wrote a New Year's wish on a card attached to the balloons, lit the candle, watched the balloons inflate, and then sent them sailing out over Commencement Bay.

(66,587 posts)A classmate of mine from Russia told me that in the Motherland, they all drink Russian Standard. So I've had a couple of bottles of that.
Absolut, Finlandia, Smirnoff, and a couple of others I've forgotten the names of...
I switched from whiskey to vodka because vodka has a lower hangover index.
The darker the spirit, the higher the hangover index. Which is one among many reasons why I quit Jaegermeister after just one night...

(6,144 posts)I quit drinking 39 years ago, and I haven't had an urge to drink since. However, since Jan.20, I tell friends that I would give my left arm not to be an alcoholic. I need a drink, dammit!
