When I was in college, people would brew some Constant Comment tea and lace it with Southern Comfort ... producing a Constant Comfort.
That actually sounds kinda good.
I know the healthcare system in the US is horrendously effed up
Well, yeah, but that's the capitalism, not the science. I'm glad the medicine is making things better for you than they would have been, JZ.
Constant Comfort is a great name. The drink sounds pretty comforting and tasty as well.
Glad for the feeling pretty fine part, for sure, JZ! I drink my instant coffee in solidarity (I would be drinking it anyway, but I was thinking of you enjoying a latte while I was makin it)
Constant Comment is my recent go to when I want caffeinated tea. I may have to try this.
I made some really questionable decisions after drinking Southern Comfort back in the day.
I imagine you are but one of many.
My college mixed drink of choice — the Alabama Slammer — featured Southern Comfort. It was sticky-sweet and really easy to drink too many really quickly.
Comfort Sours were my go to drink for a while in college.
I will admit, I first started drinking Southern Comfort because of Janis Joplin and I was drinking Wild Turkey for a while because of Thelma and Louise. I don't know how much my taste in alcohol was ever really driven by, well, taste.
Wild Turkey 101 is good stuff. Before my brother got sober, he gave me a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 for Christmas one year. His wife makes pottery, and she gave me a pottery jug. My brother said the Wild Turkey tastes better if you keep it in a pottery jug. I honestly can't tell the difference between Wild Turkey in a bottle and Wild Turkey in a jug, but I feel like both a hipster and a hillbilly keeping my booze in a pottery jug with a cork.
I've also learned from my present-day (and sober) brother that there are some good nonalcoholic liquor alternatives -- like bourbon, gin, etc. -- that actually taste like the real thing. He said he's made a damn fine margarita with nonalcoholic tequila, and he's found one nonalcoholic bourbon that's really good on the rocks, no mixer needed.
I'm going to take his word for it, and just be glad he found something he can drink without it making him relapse again.
I picked up lunch at a taqueria a while back where they talked me into getting a margarita to go with it that was made with nonalcoholic tequila. I actually did not believe them that it was nonalcoholic because I had never heard of such a thing, I saved it in the freezer until after work, but it tasted ok. FWTW
