What am I drinking? Well, nothing at the moment, but that's about to change. My "go to" is gin and tonic.

My wife doesn't drink at all. Never liked the stuff. A few years ago I ruptured an achilles tendon and couldn't drive. I didn't want to send her to the liquor store because I knew she didn't really know how much booze costs (in New York-yipes)...so I was drinking everything we had left over from parties, and stuff other people had brought and left behind. Some of it was horrid. A lot of it was horrid.
Eventually I had to ask her to pick up a "handle" of Dewars. I had to send her a picture on the phone so she'd know what it looked like.
I heard the front door open..."Holy $hyte!!! Fifty-five bucks for this! I gotta start spending some money!!" I knew I was screwed.
