[RMJ12345]

I just made my first trip to an ABC store (gov't-owned liquor vendors of VA) to buy my first legal bottles of booze (after seven mixed drinks on my 21st and a 40-ounce of Steel Reserve at Sheetz). I wandered around the store, mulling over my first purchase, until I was thought of this strip, and purchased Christian Brothers brandy.

It is important to buy horrible booze when you are too young and poor to know better. This supports the important terrible booze industry.
How was it?

[linnea]

yech... Christian Brothers, eh? Good luck with that.

[V-Adore]

I hope you also bought a really bad supermarket turkey and a plastic spork. Any other way would just be uncivilized.

Haven't had it yet. I don't yet know good liquor from bad liquor (though I'm learning about beer) so it all pretty much tastes the same to me...no harm, no foul, booze industry.

My dorm fridge is filled with booze of all kinds, packs of mayo, and birth control. On the front is written: "Studying is for fags" and a picture of Barack Obama. I believe it encapsulates my college experience.

At one time? How sick did you get?

And, did I get this old without someone telling me you are supposed to keep the birth control in the fridge?  You do know that that thing with the Coke doesn't work, right?

Do I want to know what that mayonnaise is for?

Can it possibly be worse than my nebulous incompletely-imagined hypotheticals?

[V-Adore]

To play devil's advocate, it might be for sammiches. Booze-and-BC sammiches.

Mmmmmmmm.

[Ruta Bagas]

That'd be absolutely horrible.

I mean, it can be hard enough to bite cleanly enough through ham that you don't just pull the whole slice out; you'd have no chance at all with latex.

I don't see how someone could make it to the age of 21 in this country and not know about good booze. You are supposed to get your Boone's Farm and Keystone drunks out of the way when you are fifteen (Swain's First Bike Ride).

True Confessions: While I never did this myself, the people I lived with my freshman year of college would regularly sit around the common room chewing flavored condoms. (As we were the First-Year Residential Seminar dorm, taking Religion 101 and generally being dorks, this is how the majority of our free-from-the-Health-Center condoms got used up.)

[theinevitable]

the only liquor that I can tell that it's bad is like... really really bad beer, and vodka. Because bad vodka is basically Gasoline.

Christian Bros was pretty harsh on the gullet the one time I had it. Also, I think the birth control is in the fridge because its supposed to be kept in a cool dry dark place and virginia gets warm and humid.

[littlefallsmets]

I do know that "The Ring" is supposed to be kept refrigerated until inside where a lady is most awesome so as to maintain maximum Baby Stopping effectiveness. I don't think pills are so finicky.

Also, on the topic of cheap college liquors, I once had the line in a short film in college:

"Salignac... the champagne of cognacs. He's close."

I was playing a mortician with a split personality, tracking his assistant mortician down through the streets of Syracuse because he kidnapped a corpse that they were both in love with. That all three of them were in love with, if you wanna get technical. I can't believe I got to do such things and only walk out with twenty grand of suffocating debt.

If I was a dude of uterus, there's no way in hell I'd leave my birth control in a communal dorm fridge. I'd have all these ADD night visions of pranksters replacing my Ortho-Whoozits with Tic-Tacs. One minute I'm thinking, "Daaamn, that's some minty-ass estrogen there," the next I'm creating an account with Upromise.
