Sea your tolerance for Vodka must be pretty impressive if you saw 1 1/2 cups of vodka and thought two people. I don't know why this younger generation thinks 3/4 cup of vodka per person is too much. Full agreement Gary. I routinely down that before the end of the National Anthem.

Middlesboro Drink of the Day:
Step 1: Go to ATM and get $40.00. Do not touch money with bare hands or fingers, as who knows if they can lift fingerprints off that?
Step 2: Make sure bills are nonsequential in serial number. No need to go throwing a "federal agent" vibe around.
Step 3: Proceed to nearest auto mechanic's shop and casually ask to speak to Mr. Lightening.
Step 4: If you lucked up and found the right shop, follow directions given to really sketchy "house" and give the $40 to the occupant designated "Skeeter".
Step 5: Follow directions given by the particular "Skeeter" you met to a a hollowed out log on "that road that runs out by the state park".
Step 6: Make mad dash down hill thru brush to log, reach in hand, grab jar and run back to vehicle.
Step 7: Carefully drive back home with Jar concealed in highly intricate and perhaps intimate location careful to follow all traffic rules and to avoid all speed bumps. Trust me on the speed bumps.
Step 8: Carefully walk from vehicle to abode.
Step 9: Pour contents of Jar thru charcoal filter just to be safe, mix with fruit juice and enjoy.
Step 10: Pray the car radiator the concoction was run thru was properly cleaned of deadly antifreeze. Barf. Repeat.
(Ihis is just for amusement. I, of course, would never partake of illegal whiskey nor do I wish to imply such illegal activity happens in this area, despite what may or may not be seen on the Discovery channel. Also, the names have not been changed, to protect the innocent.)

Looks like it's my turn again!
Hot Toddy
Hot water 1/4 to 1/2 Lemon 1 to 2 TB Honey 1 shot (short or tall) Liquor of your choice - varies by region & taste (whiskey, scotch, bourbon or dark rum) Optional spices like cinnamon, nutmeg etc
Bring water to near boil. Put 1-2 TB honey in the bottom of a glass or mug. Squeeze the lemon over the honey & if you like it lemony, throw the rest of the lemon in the glass, too. Add spices if you like. Pour hot water over the lemon and honey, leaving room for the liquor. Stir until the honey is dissolved. Float the liquor on top.
Enjoy!

It works just fine and pours a better drink than a 1 oz. shot glass. Here's to us old timers!!!

My office had our Holiday Breakfast this am. As I was pouring a glass of OJ I was reminded of my favorite breakfast cocktail and one I enjoy from time to time during holiday breakfasts (not at work).
Get a bottle of Ketel One. Pour a Jigger into a glass of ice. Fill glass with OJ. Garnish with happy thoughts.

Remember that January 26th is the report date for your duty station as the class doesn't begin until sometime in February, either the 16th or 17th I believe. So, we can hold off the buying of drinks for each other until we meet on the first day (evening) after class if we are so lucky to be chosen.
