Does booze turn or go bad after such a long period of time??? I have to assume there's a difference between "aged" and just plain "old"   us2innj Citizen Username: Us2innj Post Number: 953 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 11:35 am:        Not being an big drinker, I remember reading that scotch, burbon and whiskey does not go bad. Neither does vodka or gin. I do remember having a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Creme sherry that did turn with age.   mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 2520 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 3:48 pm:        Booze NEVER gets old in my house.

I know someone with your sense of humor with the initials MM (I don't know her middle name) who recently left.   mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 2524 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 4:49 pm:        No, but I've thought a lot about moving due to taxes. Hopefully your friend's sense of humor is better than mine!   Brett Citizen Username: Bmalibashksa Post Number: 541 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 4:51 pm:        mems middle name is Ebenezer   vor Citizen Username: Vor Post Number: 115 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 4:59 pm:        someone who likes the "holiday cheer" as much as mem can never be thought of as Scrooge.   jgberkeley Supporter Username: Jgberkeley Post Number: 3391 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 10:52 pm:        Yes, that booze is bad for you. Call me and I will pick it up and see to it that it is disposed of, in one form or another. Hic! Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the Titanic.
