(HAX)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=&msg=36588.1">#1</a>] 16 Apr 2012</p> You bring back memories mentioning Rusty Nails. Back in my young single drinking days, back when the legal drinking age in NY was 18, I never could drink a lot of beer, particularly the Bud and Miller that were so prevalent. But I developed a taste for scotch and water, and could pretty much drink it all night without serious repercussions. Nice buzz, mellow disposition was the norm, but if I mixed in just 1 Rusty Nail, I somehow developed a new persona, and a not so nice one, varying from loud and boisterous at best to obnoxious and combative at worst. This happened several times, and eventually I wised up and eliminated the drink from my diet. Its probably close to 35 years since I've tasted one.<p><a href="lpost.php?webtag=&replyto=36588.14">Reply</a></p> <hr /><a name="a36588_15"></a><p><b>From: RickB</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=&msg=36588.15">#15</a>]<br /> 14 Apr 2012<br /><b>To: jvincent</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=&msg=36588.8">#8</a>] 15 Apr 2012</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b><a href="messages.php?webtag=GEAFORUM&msg=36588.8">jvincent</a></div><div class="quote">How many know what a "Cuba Libre" is without looking it up?</div><br /> <br /> I worked as a bartender for a couple of summers when I was in college.
