Jim, sorry to hear about your wife. Hopefully she'll bounce back pretty quick.

For me I can learn more from watching a video than you telling me how.

That's because of his minny-soda accent.

 Them Norwegians get that from dinking to much Akvavit.

German, Irish and English, gents. No wegian in these bones. Maybe a sip of Aquavit. I got lit up big time on my wedding night on the stuff and still have a hard time even smelling it.

  Mine was Southern Comfort back in my 20's. I get sick just smelling the stuff now.

  We use to have an old Norwegian from Minnesota stay in another cabin from us up in Canada. He and his group would always bring a bottle of Aquavit with them. They always insisted we have a shot with them each year. Them old boys are all gone now and I'll miss them but not their Aquavit.

I went to a New Year's Eve pool party and decided to take cherry sloe-gin. I was walking along the side of the pool and taking a swig and mis-stepped. That red went thru the pool like blood. I guess I wasn't real popular with the motel management.

I've been chuckling as each has added a drink/story to this post!

My fearsome foe for many years was tequila... and like many of you, the smell was enough to make me run the other way.

 Many years ago we use to take a group up to Tippy Dam in Michigan and snag salmon. We brought a bottle of tequila with us that had the worm in it. None of us liked it at all so one night we left the bottle on a stump outside our camper when we went fishing. When we came back it was gone and we all cheered. The next morning we got up and someone brought it back and put it on the stump. We ended up using it to start the fires.

Lamar-

Your stories here remind me of a joke Dad would tell about a lonely old man that would invite passers-by into his cabin and then hold them at gunpoint until they had a drink with him (insert akvavit, krupnik, or whatever rot-gut you want).  After they successfully downed a shot, he would take the bottle to his side and slide the gun over to them and would say, "it wouldn't be polite of me if I didn't have one with you."

Piel's beer. I've been sick more than I care to admit from over indulging, but one time we were drinking Piel's beer, first time I had tried it too, and I got so sick from that stuff, I thought it would be the end of me!
