Meaning of "Enjoying an Adult Beverage"

[cosmicfolklore]

Up until last year there was a decades old cinnamon jawbreaker called a fireball. May not have been referencing the drink.

No, the candy was a Fireball, in which they thought was named after the whisky.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

They don't make fireball candies anymore?

No, they still make atomic fireballs. which aren't named after the whisky, ha ha.

 

[Chasing Embers]

They don't make fireball candies anymore?

Discontinued last year.

The only "adult" beverages I can enjoy are those with gin or vodka with liberal amounts of tonic water.

This quote by Mark Twain sums it up for my two cents.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink - under any circumstances".

Then you'd go out like an Irishman.

If I am at the pub and I decide to ... have fun.... it's Irish Car Bombs until the lights are out.

I never really knew what it meant. Korean tradition indicates you have to learn it from your father or elders. But, my father didn't drink. Or rather he refused to drink. I learned to drink in NYC. Forget enjoying the spirit. It was all about loading enough to get drunk.

In my 20's, it was beer culture. I enjoyed all forms of tortures including "the yard". But I'm beginning to understand the enjoyment of a spirit by itself neat.

Just a touch of water in a tumbler of whiskey to bring out the flavour.. YUM! Now I'm at home.

that's where I started. Still feel liquor should be appreciated similarly to the way a pipe is. Slow and thoughtful. Wondering what magic leads to such a bunch of flavors locked off from those that slurp and slop. The buzz interlocks with the experience. The two are not separate. Alcohol is magical but should be treated with respect.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing as I am sure many others were doing as well.

When I was young, coffee was an adult drink. Then I thought it was beer as I got older. Then liquor.

Now that I'm older, water is an adult beverage. And I need to drink more of it.

Could have also gone with now I know why I like the guy, never could figure out before. I should have figured it out, the guys an artist and agrees that Yorktown is one of the greatest. Basically using myself as a template, should have seen that pattern.

I think this is going to be the truest thing I will read all day.

My in-laws all live in Wisconsin so I can confirm the rumors of the state residents enjoying a glass or two, although growing up in Ohio I believe drinking pretty much a mid-west US trend.
