Well my choice would be a cold beer, but I would have to say apple cider!

Some of my friends have been drinking for more than 30 years. They're doing fine. But 3 or 4 of them died from liver disease.

I think anyone can die of alcohol poisoning if he gets too much too fast. There have been cases where college kids died on their 21rst birthday--there was some stupid ritual about drinking 21 drinks when you turned 21. That can kill a person who isn't used to drinking (or even, perhaps, one who is).iHaunt wrote:Ok, Mike.... if I drink too much alcohol so I will get alcohol poisoned?

iHaunt, anyone could die of alcohol poising if they get enough alcohol in their system. But for me, it's a lot more likely to happen since I had my gastric bypass. What happens is that anything I eat, gets absorbed into my body a lot faster. For instance, when I drink a highly cafinated beverage, it acts a lot faster then it does with people with normal gastric intestonal systems. The same thing happens with alcohol. It gets absorbed itno my system a lto faster, so with significantl fewer drinks, I can get very, VERY drunk, and the possibility of alcohol poisining is much higher for me then it is for some one with a normal digestive system.
For that reason, I don't drink at all. According to my doctor, taking one shot of alcohol (One beer, one glass of whine or one shot of 'hard liquor) for me is like a normal person taking 2 shots or 2 and a half shots.
The only drinking I do is at Mass on Sunday. Some times, when I serve as Euceristic minister, and Comunion is over, we have to finish off the cup. It's not even a full serving of alcohol, and I actualy get just a tiny bit tipsy for about 2 minutes. It clears up before the Mass is ended, but one glass of whine can actualy make me "leagaly" drunk.

I'm not really into cider. On Halloween night, I'll probably have a coke and maybe put it in my 'Werewolf Drinking Team' koozie

Carlin was a great favorite of my husband's & mine, too.
iHaunt, he was a sharply satiric stand-up comic. He died a year or so back.

I have an album by George Carlin doing stand-up comedy. That record contains the "7 words you can't say on television" on it, which stired up some controversey when a 'shock jock' wanted to put it on the radio.

You can say almost all of them on TV now.
