What Would You Say About a Person
. . . who bought a almost two liters of
Tanqueray and 750 milliliters of
Hendrick's on the same day?
Would you say that this person was given to excess? Would you say that he/she should go back to more healthful habits, such as smoking cigars, maxing out his/her credit cards, and taking long baths?
I'm just wondering. I have, you know: I have a friend . . .
UPDATE: He'll just get more popular as the gin craze grows: people are tired of tasteless cocktails made with vodka, and for good reason. I mean, if you want to drink stuff that harsh, why not just pour rubbing alcohol into Kool-Aid? I say that with love, by the way.
Another sign that gin is overtaking vodka: every time I go to the local hoity-toity "wine shop," the vodka section has shrunk by one brand—and has been replaced with another premium gin. The buyer there is moving so fast, it might be difficult for a competitive person to keep up with her.

I wouldn't say it's excessive. We're not talking about a daily purchase, are we? I'm sure you'll manage to keep up with her. Did you whisper in her ear that you would like to try Cascade Mountain and Desert Juniper Gin? I think she is really trying to keep up with you! So far, it's been no contest!
What is disturbing is that you had to make a purchase at all! Distilleries? Distributors? Where are the product samples? C'mon, guys and girls! Can't you see a marriage made in heaven here?
By the way, I got a warm, fuzzy feeling when I saw your full compliment of postings today. Sort of like peeking into the bedroom and seeing that the prodigal Joy has returned, all safe and snuggly in her nest! Don't take the lack of comments as a sign of indifference by your readers. We all are just happy to see that all is right with the world. No sense in doing anything to disturb that!

Joy,
Sorry about this, but gin will never replace Stolichnaya Crystal's place in my heart. Chill it to about 30 degrees farenheit (-1 C) and serve two ounces over one (ONE!) ice cube. It tastes like snowflakes (remember catching them on your tongue?). No kidding.
Ah, when I get back from Baghdad that is one of the first things I'll have after kissing my wife and kids.
Oh, the gin is not excessive. I've bought roughly five gallons of various things at one time to stock my personal bar for a month. Depends on the money.
