I figured it would eventually be a yummy flavored drinking brandy. I was a little confused, however, because Hank's family is from Kentucky, and they know bourbon like nobody's bidness, so why wouldn't they give me bourbon to drink? BUT I digress.<br /><br />I had read your original post about the extract a while back and didn't register it until the following happened tonight:<br /><br />So I'm in the middle of finals and it's crazypants stressful. Tonight I decided I needed a drink, but I ran out of beer this weekend and didn't feel like opening a bottle of wine. But then I remembered! The brandy! I did a quick Google search about how one is to drink brandy (pathetic? Yes.), and poured myself a bit in a mug (the closest thing I have to a snifter). It was... awful. I wanted to die. And then I remembered your blog.<br /><br />True story. I'm an idiot. Hank then suggested that if I really needed a drink, I could try the Listerine in the bathroom.
