Wow look at all these comments! You are such a blogging rockstar. I love the pic of your scrunchy nose. That’s my reaction to hard liquor too. However, I am determined to enjoy a dirty martini. And by enjoy I do not mean take one sip and make Andrew drink the rest.

I so want to be the person who can choke down hard liquor with grace, but I just don’t see that happening! I’ll sit there and nurse one small very sweet drink for an hour while everyone else pounds them down.

That picture of you is so adorable! I love it!

Oh man, your post makes me miss alcohol. Before getting pregnant, my husband and I would have fun with our martini set. I’ll just have to wait for a few more months before I can enjoy a good drink. Until then, live it up for me!

you definitely get more bang for your buck with the hard liquor! i enjoy vodka mixed with soda water (seltzer, not tonic), with lots of ripe lime wedges smushed into the glass (although any cirtus fruit or berry would work i guess).

i used to love gin, but something clicked in me and now the smell of it makes me vomitous. its definitely an acquired taste, so im a VODKA martini gal. i like mine dirty.

Ha – that facial squirm is the best. I mean, not the best, but the best because I relate. I cannot tolerate martinis. Much too strong. You could always start to make your own moonshine or something… =)

Hahahaha, that face is just tooo cute!!!

I too have a wine obsession, I’m trying to stray away from beer more and more these days. Too many calories.

But my new thing is Peach Schnapps. Schnapps with tonic and a splash of cranberry. Mmm, mmmm. Not much alcohol, but that’s a good thing for me.

Gin is grotesque…my first foray into drinking proved that. Vodka is always the way to go :-) Yay for hobby drinking.
