green 6 Posted December 10, 2006 When I was growing up rye and ginger was a very popular drink. (Maybe it is an easterner thang....) I only drink wine, Bloody Marys, scotch-rocks, or beer. My husband likes rum and coke and B-52s. Whenever he orders rum and coke and I order scotch-rocks the waiter drops off the rum-coke on my side of the table. Go figure, eh.:omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoda 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Nope....rye and ginger is definitely not an Easterner thing (I haven't lived in Ontario all my life, ya know!); I can attest to that! It just isn't as common to the younger folk!! There, I said it!! LOL.... but.....I'm with Green....nothin' beats a good scotch....(a good one, mind you....not the cheap imitation stuff!).

Wheezy 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Rye and ginger, a popular drink around here also. Personally, can't stand the taste or smell of rye, bourbon or scotch. The first thing I ever drank was rye.....got very very ill. Never been able to drink it again and that was probably 25 years ago. I like everything else although since banding can't drink wine anymore. When I drink wine, I get terrible heartburn. My choice these days is a White Russian, the milk in it is easier on the stomach.

Yoda 0 Posted December 12, 2006 I'm like that with rum Wheezy.....I can just get a teeny whiff of it and I wanna hurl. I KNOW it is related to my school trip (at the age of 15) to the Stratford Festival (ie. drunken blast without supervision) wherein I drank enough Rum to fill a pool and thought "mixing" drinks meants 1 tsp of mix (ie. coke) and 3 cups of rum. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the horrible memory of it. And the next day I was so naive that I truly thought I had come down with the flu. Soooo not fun.......rum never passed between my lips again!

Don't worry....I was at least 16 before I had another drink!!! LOL. Of course then I realized if you drink vodka you can't smell it on your breath and so I started to have them liquid lunches at High School....no worries....only for a wee bit (bad crowd!)....then I went back to PB&J and didn't drink again until I was LEGAL!!!! course, I don't drink at ALL now....(really I don't).....I guess I got it all outta me early!! At least I can honestly say I never tried drugs....not too many people can say that in all honesty!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
