Unless the alcohol has just two carbons per molecule, I'm not going to drink it willingly.

I'd stay away from the isopropanol too!

Maybe 30 or 40 years ago. But I'm too old for this "science" now.

A few beers and an occasional shot of tequila, usually without the training wheels.

Aw, what's the problem. The worst thing that can happen is you get buried with my friend John today. Have a pint for us.

Consider it done.

And a moment of silence.
