Taste improved later in life, but now I've given it all up after a rather nasty medical episode. (Diabetes-related.) John As for the "Canadian" quip, remember WE have the REAL beer! not that watered-down stuff you get. Edited January 28, 20179 yr by HARO50

Did you know that alcohol can LOWER your blood sugars VERY rapidly? I didn't, until I woke up in the hospital with most of my tongue gone. Apparently I was pretty rough on the ambulance guys too, but I have no recollection of ANY of it. Grand Mal seizure! Rather give up drinking than go through THAT again. John

No, I didn't know that. Maybe I should have a bit of dark chocolate first.
November 7, 20196 yr I never wanted anything to do with it and i still don't. Seem that the people that has played with it never had anything to show for there life. When I was in the army the barracks at night the smoke from it would hang heavy inside. I made sure I did not sleep on the upper bunks...
