Very glad that Southern Comfort is
backing FX ch. True Blood even if i don't drink it not my type.
"...not my type". Very funny, Rita. I went to the website but it's just about Southern Comfort. I found nothing about True Blood there.
I'll pass. I still have nightmares about Alabama Slammers from years ago....
Sharon my type,gin is more to my
liking,like Tom Collins and have not
had one in 25 years.
Eric has a bottle of SC and Tabasco(made in my parish) on his desk. I love SC and OJ great southern drink.
Rita, I was referring to your blood type. Gin gives me a headache. Vodka or tequila, in small quantities, are about my limit. Mostly beer or wine with dinner is it for me.
Oh, and I like a Bloody Mary with vodka and Tabasco. Tabasco is good on lots of stuff.
Sharon sorry i am really showing my
age i guess,my blood type is A-pos.
for you i have wine every now and
then.And i got to thinking it has been longer that i have gin ,as i recall now 39 years would be the
truth and it was in New Orleans La.
just don't drink like i did then
young and in love,have learned a lot
since then.You can leave out the beer
as it taste like (pi**) to me.
Rita, I remember years ago when I was in New Orleans I got some Dixie beer and wondered what kind of horse it came from. It was Mardi Gras and I handed it to a passing sailor and he drank it.
But I love an ice cold beer with hot weather or Mexican food or pizza.
