Cabana Club (7), lime and ice.
I selected ice from the Dolomites because at this time of year the natural salty minerals accentuate the complex sugars in the rum. I also chose a lime from Morrisons because they were cheap.

Do you put your drinks on the cooker to heat them up?
It’s where we keep the botanicals.
I’d heard that rumour.
No. I have only had one go at drinking gin in my life, one sip was all i managed. It’s the smell of it i think, like cheap perfume. Urgh.
Yeah I smell it and an instant gag reflex.
Pernod / ouzo does it for me.
Oh, and Southern Comfort and peppermint (together).
All stem from my 18th birthday party which saw me not be able to get our of a bin in Warpole park Gosport where my ‘friends’ decided to put me - arse first.
After I’d done a red metal-shelled tortoise impression for 20 minutes, with my mates wetting themselves, I freed myself to find my lovely new jacked covered in KFC barbecue beans.
To this day I’ve kept my promise never to go near those drinks or those beans again.
Happy memories.
I get that with Scotch as the result of an all-nighter where very large quantities of said alcoholic beverage were consumed. The next day was a work day and I sat in the loo for much of it as the quietest place I could find nursing the World’s worst hangover.
Ever since the smell of Scotch makes me shudder.
Ouzo/pernod any aniseed one.
Tequila.

@saintbletch one of my friends put me in a bin on (I think) GCSE results day. Thankfully I was able to get out with no beans ruining my clothing.
No wonder @saintbletch is always smashed.

Me too.
However given my reputation I had to sign a disclaimer and they would only give me a 5ml medicine spoonful.
Ooh. Village shop shock!

As someone in their 5th year of sobriety I would appreciate more tales of terrible hangovers and general other unpleasantness. I find that helps fight the fact I miss it so much.
Thank you.
Well i for one take my hat off to you. Perhaps i am lucky, but i don’t really have problems with hangovers unless i mix drinks, which i have done occasionally in the past. But i haven’t done that for years, i tend to stick to ale, but very occasionally i have a fancy for a vodka or rum, in which case i start and finish with that, no short chasers with beer. I have a couple of mates who are now sober, one in particular who had a fearsome thirst, just didn’t know when to stop. It got to the stage where he couldn’t function with his life, he was so addicted. He ended up going to AA and has now been sober for about ten years,but like you he still misses it. Thankfully i haven’t got that gene or whatever it is that causes the addiction, it must be awful. I can take it or leave it, if i have a session the last thing i want for the next few days is a drink.
Your comment regarding missing it so much reminds me of the old Dean Martin quote. " I always sympathize with people who are teetotal, when they wake up in the morning they know that is the best they are going to feel all day".
Kind words.
I definitely have a genetically faulty take it or leave it switch. Had 25 plus years of epic sessions with Bletch which I miss way too much.
Half a shandy and a pack of wine gums is an epic session for bletch.
Says the man who, the last time he attended an epic session with Bletch, broke his ribs and has no idea how.
Fair cop.
