12:53 PM aandrew: if I want to test my body's diabetic reaction, I will have cointreau. that usually gives me bad hangovers in the morninig though
12:54 PM aandrew: friend of mine had a SUPER SMOOTH palinca (romanian moonshine) that went down so nice I think it should have warnings on the label
12:54 PM aandrew: usually that stuff is really rough, like drinking gasoline
12:55 PM aandrew: that's actually what set me on my quest for higher-end alcohol and led me to anejo tequilas
