Coke Blak update

One or two cigarettes ain't gonna hurt you, son.

Also, what's your definition of "drunk"?  'Round these parts, people claim to be stone-cold sober after ten bee-ah and to be enjoying merely a mild "buzz" after a case.

I don't even know what my definition is anymore.  I'd say four beers and a shot in the span of about two hours = John White Horse is drunk.  Six or seven beers over the course of four hours?  John is just kinda grouchy and tired.  And feeling doughy.

That sounds about right to me.  Though last night in the chat I had two weak drinks over three hours and was tipsy to the point of making embarrassing typos!

Mixed drinks are always a wild card for me.  I can set my watch to beer.

I have that relationship with beer and Allen's coffee brandy.

I had kidney stones once; my urologist told me that caffeine consumption had next to nothing to do with developing stones, and I was more likely a victim of the high mineral content, specifically calcium, in the local water supply.

Those of you who don't think you want them? Good call.

yup calcium can cause 'em. but i thought it had a lot to do with genetic predisposition. although... my best friend has an identical twin who got stones 3 years ago and she has yet to develop them herself. (she's patiently waiting.)

that said, coke blak's packaging scares the crap out of me. i wouldn't touch that stuff if you paid me -- looks like it should contain motor oil. i like to limit my intake of chemicals to the important stuff like that fake cheese they stuff into soft pretzels from time to time. or maybe those delicious lemon pies that tastycake makes.

We have Coke Blak here in St. Louis!  Inspired by TBS, I picked up a bottle (on special for 99 cents) at my local Schnuck's supermarket.  It wasn't UNpleasant, but certainly nothing I'd buy again.
