The Limits of "De gustibus non est disputandum"

In the category "Just Because Two Things Are Good Does Not Mean the Same for the Combination Thereof" I present to you: meat-flavored vodka. As Wimbledon is underway, I will smash that high lob back over the net by noting that this is only the second-dumbest thing to come out of Wasilla, AK.

Not that I am against flavored vodkas per se. I happen to like pepper vodka, and I am intrigued by the article's mention of garlic vodka.

H/t J, who notes, "Now you can have your salmon and drink it too."

Ammunition?

It's daunting to follow an inspiring post like JWT's with nothing more than a link or two, but I saw this post on Cocktail Party Physics recently and have been meaning to bring it to the attention of the throng because, after all, reading about drinking is second only to actually drinking. It makes me wish I liked martinis.

The post particularly captured my interest by leading off with a reference to The Thin Man, perhaps the finest film in the alcoholic private detective genre. Coincidentally, those unfamilar with the movie could catch it tonight in a booze-soaked double-feature at the Black Cat. Mid-week booze-soakings, unfortunately, have become a thing of the past for most of us.
