It would be not-quite-correct to say that I don’t drink. I don’t object to casual drinking intellectually or philosophically, but it has never appealed to me. I will toast with Irish whiskey when appropriate, and I will sometimes have a beer with pizza-and-wings or Mexican food, but my absolute favorite beverage is dihydromonoxide, and alcoholic drinks of any sort are well down the list for me. De gustibus non est disputandum.<\/em><\/p>\n

But I wanted to come up with something that I could stand to drink when I want to drink with Cathy on our date nights — at home, in town or in Las Vegas. So I invented my own cocktail, the top-secret recipe for which I will now share with you:<\/p>\n

Thirty-Six Hours in Vegas<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a 24-ounce glass, pour over 8 ounces of ice:<\/p>\n

One shot (or more) Tequila
\nOne bottle of Lemon-Lime flavored Five-Hour Energy
\n12 ounces of Mountain Dew<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Quite a bit sweeter than a Margarita, and very nicely caffeinated. That much liquid lasts me a long time, so I don’t notice the alcohol much, but I get all that good Mountain Dew stuff — hydration, sugar, sodium.<\/p>\n

I’ll be in Anaheim for 36 hours later this week, but I doubt I’ll have one of these. If you make one for yourself, I’ll be interested to hear what you think about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
