Tequila.
I try my damndest not to have it when I go out. If anyone is offering, I disappear very quickly.
I can’t handle it, the mere smell of it makes me queasy.
The problem with it stems back to a time pre-Lance, when I was at varsity. I had this car accident you see, and I was in a neck brace, and on anti-inflammatories and painkillers. And the guys I was in the accident with decided to take me out to say sorry, because I was the only one hurt. So we went to this club in Fourways Mall, and the band that was playing had a competition seeing who the loudest group in the place… and we got the prize (the 3 of us, thinking back now it was probably a sympathy thing because I was in a neck brace, but anyhoo).
The prize was a bottle of tequila. Which we then finished.
I still can’t drink any of it!! That happened about 18 years ago!

I have never really liked Tequila – wouldn’t touch it now with a ten foot pole. My ‘poison’ drink is Malibu – only it was 1993, in January of my matric year – and two friend and I finished a bottle (drinking it with coke). Back then it was called coco-rico and even coconut ‘smelly’ suntan lotions bring back the gag reflex in me – and that was…17 years ago!

Snap on that one! Not the circumstances, but tequila. I had a few too many tequila slammers one night, and yes, I can not stand the smell.

My poison is brandy. Thanks to playing coinage in high school with a couple of bottles of Richlieu I can’t even smell it without my tummy doing a flip.

LOL… I can’t stand it either! The first time I ever got plastered was on Tequila and I’ve hated it ever since!
