vodka
j_blue had to do it

vodka, how wonderful a thing

my favorite is kettle_one, it has no bite whatsoever, and makes the best cosmopolitan martinis

its funny, but vodka is like the unofficial gay beverage of our times. everyone drinks something with vodka in it; and in fact, in san_francisco, the cosmo (and the plain martini) is one of the most often ordered drinks

a small ism that i like about life here, is that whenever you get invited to a friends house for a party or something, as a matter of course, one should always bring a bottle of vodka, usually sky (not too cheap, though i try to bring kettle_one)

another cute thing about vodka that i noticed around the_city, is that heteros tend to keep it in a cabinet, and homos tend to put it in the freezer

birdmad Lukosowa, Ketel, and if you're lucky enough to find it Wybarowa, good, smooth, polish made true vodka (from potatoes instead of grain)

a hetero vote for the freezer

jenicor always the freezer, dear man, keeps the ice from melting when you mix it, and much more pleasent to shoot.

suck a nice. numb, slippery drunk. almost jovial.

j_blue then i will make a different statement

those who like to drink vodka, and drink it often, tend to use the freezer

those who dont, use a cabinet

heteros tend to drink less mixed drink than homos, tit for tat that is

birdmad there is that and the fact that by all accounts, i'm pretty fruity for a straight guy

which means that i'm either in deep denial and/or don't realize it or it means that the influence of most of my friends over the last twelve years has set in pretty deep

but that's a story for another blathe

soia my first real drunkeness
I was 13
I would have done anything
in the next year, I did do anything
when I try to look back to where it all started, I always arrive at the obscene amount of alcohol my little body ingested that night
finished chugging- teeter, totter, down for the count
wake up and he is gone, and surprise!, I can't walk, so I crawled and scrawled silly phrases all over my body

splinken makes me cuddly. i'm virtually inaccesible otherwise. 010129

j_blue one adopts whatever habits (or strategies) work, when allowed

cold vodka is one of those things that is notably superior to warm vodka in a cocktail

who drinks cocktails enough to know this?

blue star I've never had cold alcohol except in beer.

But I hate vodka. I only drink whiskey. Pass the Jack, please.

lotuseater drink of choice.

its like... waking up with a beer next to your bed and finding your wall scrawled haphazardly with bizzare, sometimes obsene sentences and arrangements of words. fuck that, i'm smoking more pot and taking more psychedelics. no more vodka for a while.
