12:51 PM aandrew: ruenahcmohr: congrats on the new job, and sorry to hear about your friend's brother
12:52 PM aandrew: rye and coke used to be my drink of choice, in the last 2 years or so I moved away from mixes and started drinking rye neat or what my current (6mos) seems to be which is a really good/smooth tequila neat
12:52 PM ruenahcmohr: not working the new job yet, few hurtles to jump first
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
