    Aye I 'know' sleep-in-a-ditch well from Bosnia. The Kuskavac was good stuff too. Strange to be making alcoholic milkshakes but drinkable all the same!

    Morgan's Spiced Rum. Even better when mixed with some coke and warmed over the fire.

    Had a few rounds of that yes. It is goooood!

    I used to like my G&T's. In Khartoum I used to sit on the roof and watch the sun go down while I downed one of those. Just to keep the malaria at bay of course...lol

    Else I am fond of Irish Whiskeys. Tullamore Dew, Jamesson and my favourite Busshmills Black Bush.
    But will never turn down a Vodka Red bull... that stuff is dangerously good...

    But alas...have not had a drink or a beer in 3 years. Last time I had a beer it sent me to hospital. Alcohol and Chrons is not combinable.

    I would love to love whisky, but I just can't stand the stuff unfortunately, and I'm a little envious of those that love it.
    One of my buddies collects fine whisky's and has an impressive collection. No matter how hard I try, it's just not my things. Gutted!

    I'm a grape man and just love my Cognac, Armagnac, and many good XO Brandy's.

    My in-laws got me a bottle of Speyburn single malt and I have a flask of that in my jacket, it's very smooth stuff
