No one would claim he was not good as long as he was shaking his magic shaker. The star was for first place in bringing a shaker and knowing how to use it. The first real martini I ever had in my life was from Carl, and it was about 10 am, had to sit for a while, I'm not use to a martini breakfast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was was young teen and that was my first exposure to numerous days of drinking beer (oh yeah, i’ve NEVER drank a Miller High Life since that weekend). Anyway, these guys would get up in the morning and drink half beer, half Snappy Tom’s. I’ve heard people refer to “tomato beer” not sure if this is what that was. My cousin’s boyfriend looked liked Alice Cooper. i remember him wearing these red, white, and blue pants once -- the ones that look like a flag. I thought that guy was so cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey you can knock it off of your bucket list! I do not drink much anymore, it was always just social but now not even social anymore, well not as much, depending. For a while I was drinking with the people from Hope at Rodney's, but they are pros and I am an amateur when I have any sense with me. But in the past I have been known to go about it a different way which does not have the bad affects of drinking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was was young teen and that was my first exposure to numerous days of drinking beer No AA for me, never even came close to that problem, only socially, which can also cause to do dumb things at the same time have witnesses. 75% of the reason we used to go camping was to drink beer, and it started while cooking breakfast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do drink much less than when I was younger, it hurts to much when your older. It used to be drinking and smoking, mostly beer but I cut out the drinking part except for occasionally and rarely beer anymore. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said, “I had a few of your beers while doing that job.” My dad says, “I don’t drink. You must have had some of my 16-year old son’s beers.” BUSTED. Actually, Pops didn’t say anything to me about it. Good thing, i was out of excuses (that never worked) like when i was 13 or 14 and my mom found cigarettes in my room. I told her that i wasn’t smoking ... i was building a smoking machine. I wonder if she fell for it? I didn’t get in trouble. But man, the time in Jr. High when i got all F’s on my report card -- did i ever get in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 And I'm just a tee-totaler now. A fifth lasts me for two months or longer. Heck if I take two shots I won't just sleep well... I could sleep through a thunderstorm! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
