Ever mix Root Beer and Irish Whiskey?
I just did. Since there is no more caffeine-free Coke in the house.

Problem is, I'm afraid to drink it!

Something tells me it's going to taste disgusting.

1. No, but once I mixed 151-proof rum with cherry Kool-Aid.
It tasted awful, but the real problem was that I ended up callin' Ralph on the big white phone all the next day.

12. And how was it? Doing pretty well lately, thanks for asking. Even walked like a
normal person today. Funny how good it feels to be able to do a small thing like that; it's one of those "you don't miss the water until the well runs dry" type of things. Hectic week taking care of Mrs R after her having some (minor, she's fine) surgery on Tuesday. But back to work tomorrow, which will be good.

How's all with you?

14. It didn't taste as badly as I'd feared!
But it really did tingle my nose! :-)

Glad to hear you are feeling well..and Mrs R is fine after her surgery. :hug:

I'm well...just working a lot, and now looking forward to my nieces graduation in Southern California this month! Nothing marks the passage of time quite like watching a child grow up.

7. Something tells ME it's going to taste disgusting too.
If I wanted a drink (and I liked Irish Whiskey), I'd have gone for the whiskey on the rocks.

10. So...
..you "liked" it...but you don't like it now...
or do you just not drink at all now? Just being curious.

15. No, I'm saying IF I wanted a drink and IF I liked Irish Whiskey....
I would have gone for the whiskey on the rocks and not bothered with the root beer. Root beer and whiskey doesn't sound like a good combination.

However, I don't like Irish Whiskey. :) If you do, don't sully it with root beer.

16. Thanks
I've decided I have a reading comprehension problem.

It couldn't possibly be the drinking. ;-)

11. Very
I don't think I'll try it again.

Sometimes I think I am too creative for my own good!

:rofl:

13. Well, it didn't work out, but you never know, you COULD have started a trend. Stay creative!

19. I did something similar once
but it was whiskey (I think, maybe it was rum) and it was diet root beer, after I, too, ran out of Coke for my whiskey (or rum) and coke.

It was nasty. (But I survived.) :toast:
