Cider and other Exotic Drinks

[nowhere_winry]

"Oh... Cider is very good. It's made from apples. Auntie usually made two batches. One that was fermented into hard cider, and one that wasn't so us kids could drink it.

Even if I remember the details differently, I do remember the incident. I think all three of us threw up, but I got the worst end and threw up most of the next day too. [snort]

Yah, you're right. Alphonse said it smelled funny, and thought we shouldn't drink it. Auntie laughed... though in retrospect, I think she wouldn't have laughed if we'd actually have been sick enough to be in any danger.

Puritanical.. ugh... yes, it means we're not allowed to drink. in the US they have passed laws saying that it's illegal for any one under 21 to drink... and it's apparently because a certain group thinks it's immoral or something, and that younger people are automatically more irresponsible. telling them they can't makes it more likely that they'll do it irresponsibly if you ask me, because then they have to sneak around about it. Can you imagine college students NOT drinking? Really? That's just stupid.

I'm not sure i've ever been hungover or sick like that. So...if i'm sneaky I can drink? I can do that.

Trust me, Goku, it isn't fun to be that sick. I thought I was going to throw up for days. It certainly felt that way.

I'm not sure I've ever really wanted to try anything alcoholic since then, to tell you the truth.

I do, but I certainly learned my lesson about moderation. We just didn't know any better. It wasn't fun. Well it wasn't after the first little bit when we were drunk but not sick. Didn't take much either I guess. Cognac is a type of brandy... I think it's a little smoother than sake, but maybe not quite as strong. It really depends on the quality I guess. I'm not that much of a fan of sake. Beer is fine, but I don't drink enough of it to get drunk. I don't much care for feeling like that I guess. Not my idea of fun.

...Male parts and female parts? And...Goku, I think I need to sit down. You're kidding, right?

[edward_elric]

I... think he's talking about the goddess Quan Yin? Kwanyin? I'm sorry, Goku, I don't remember how to spell it. I'm afraid I'm not much on religion to be honest. I think you mentioned that you had a statue of her though that you wanted to get out?

[saru_no_baka]

"I have two! She has lots of names, Guan Yin, Kuan Yin, Kannon, Kanzeon. Yeah she's sort of both bits" Goku censored himself so Ed wouldn't yell "it...has to get confusing."

[nowhere_winry]

That's interesting, Goku. Do the statues have that...er...show that sort of thing?
