I was looking at a photo that someone had posted here that had a bottle Gin in the photo and my stomach just cringed. Because years ago I had a very bad experience with Gin, so I was wondering.
Is there a booze you just can not drink for one reason or another and if you feel like sharing why?
"Alabama Slammers"
So, "this one night in college", a bunch of us went out and I had myself 5 or 6 of these fine concoctions. Not sure what exactly was in it since there are several variations, but they sure went down easy.
Woke up the next morning to a rip-roaring hangover, but hadn't puked yet, so I considered the whole situation a great success and headed off to work.
As luck would have it, we were starting to get in some of our ski merchandise for the upcoming winter so my excitement started to overshadow the freight train rolling through my head. One of my "bros" who was out the night before showed up and we unpacked skis and boots in the back room and tried to remember some of the fuzzier details from the previous night.
Then I started to peel off the shrink wrap from a really nice pair of wooden Smith pole racks.
Wooden racks with a
lot of varnish on them.
Varnish that smelled just like....an Alabama Slammer. I had to run out the back door to to alley and dry-heaved for about 10 minutes.
Those things off-gassed in the shop for the next 2 weeks and every time I caught a whiff my stomach would twinge.
