Re: Shots of Jameson Irish Whiskey

Post by Michael »

In New Zealand I met a few Irish guys who took me out drinking. Like 10 Jameson shots (along with several beers) later I was sitting outside puking my guts out. The next thing I remember is waking up outside a few hours later (I think) on a sidewalk lost and still drunk. I've totally lost my desire for shots and I plan to never to do them again. Last weekend despite complaints I stayed true to my word.

You youngsters enjoy those shots while you can.....because there will come a day when they absolutely wreak havoc on your body, mind and soul. To the point where you don't want to be within whiffing distance of a particular shot. In my case, it was tequila...the former love of my life, which gave me happy feet and put a glow on my face. Until one muggy, summer night, during a bachelorette party in a small town in Iowa, I met a sneaky bartender who gave me a "special" tequila concoction...Prairie Fire. A fitting name indeed!

It was an ugly night (and I was in the wedding the NEXT day)...that's all I'll say. I have since spurned Tequila*....won't even go near a margarita. And this was about 15 years ago. :(

*but for Tequila Rose...YUMMY!

I down Prairie Fires like I'm trying to burn a hole in my stomach. I love them. Nothing will get you more energized during a night out.

This from the guy who immediately hands me two shots when I walk into the bar and says, "prepare for the drunkening?"

No no, you are doing shots again.

I think most of us can testify about being betrayed by that slick talker: tequila.
My first experience with tequilla I screwed the order of the salt/lemon/shot thing and ended up with nothing left to get the fire residue out of my mouth.

And yes, I agree that shots are wrong. Sip and enjoy.

Salt and lemon (I'm assuming it was actually a lime)? Why ruin a good shot with that crap? You drink tequila straight up, or you don't drink it at all.
