Excuse me young lady... but don't you have some dusting to do.... men are
talking here... about alcohol.

Hardly a subject matter meant for your gender.....

Nope. Now, Cappy, re-read my post and tell me where, if anywhere, I
implied
that it is "too strong" or "too manly" for my "delicate palate." To the
contrary, I'm perfectly confident I can spot you shot for shot with
anything, 151proof or not.

That... I doubt you could acomplish Max..... very few people can go
shot for shot with me and win a gavity race. The very fact you stated
that the alcohol content masks the taste of the rum is a certain
indicator of your inability to handle the higher octane ratings with
grace.

But I prefer rum to taste like rum, not like
mineral spirits or paint thinner. It's a flavor issue, not one of
strength.

Balderdash.... Lambs is very smooth, rich, mellow and I prefer it's
taste to the likes of Barcardi. I don't drink the Bracardi 151 due to the
fact it tastes terrible. It's not an issue of strenght... it's an issue
of flavour... and obviously your 'delicate palatte' cannot tolerate the
strenght.of this much prized rum.

In college I used to drink 190 proof grain alcohol (Everclear) straight
from
the bottle. But somewhere along the line I learned to imbibe for the
pleasure of the spirit, not for the purpose of killing brain cells and
puking on my friends' shoes.

Now you see.... that just doesn't happen to me. I get drunk but I'm still
far from adolesent activities you recounted upon your inebreation
history. It could be you have never learned to pace yourself, or that you
have no respect for the capabilities of the liquid you are consuming.....
or maybe you might be sufferring a 'wet brain' syndrome.



If alcohol content translates into great flavor, full-body, and
manliness,
as you chest-thumpingly claim, why then do the vast majority of superb
single-malt scotches range around 80 proof?

To make it paletable to women as well as men?

Why are the very finest sipping
bourbons and ryes the same?

See above...

Why don't they make 150 proof cognacs and
armegnacs?

Those damned Frenchies.....

Only the Brits, for some arcane reason, choose to distill such
high alcohol content rums, but at a price: flavor.

No Max... the price is the seperation of Pansies and Men. I understand
this offends your sensibilities... seeing you are squarely placed in the
Fancy Boy Corral.

They simply don't taste
anywhere near as good as lower proof rums.

I heard this from ...Women!

For getting blasted, they are
almost without peer, if that's what floats your boat. You seem to
believe
that imbibing mass quantities of ethanol equates with chest hair and
balls.
Whatever.

I don't drink to get blasted..... I drink because I enjoy the taste of
the beverage. I also believe you get better bang for the buck in buying a
higher proof alcohol.... let's face it Max.... just drink less or mix it
lighter.


So, doesn't that chest beating you did seem a bit silly now?

Absolutely not...... oh look... you just dropped your hanky. Now why
don't you run along and discuss your situation with the other
Dandies..... they might share your delicate tastes.

Dusting? What's that?

Def.: a description of what I'll do to CM if he ever accepts my challenge
to a contest of alcohol imbibition.

Then he, too, can learn all about dusting furniture, along with the other
girlie-men.
