Happy birthday (kind of). Grass is easy enough replaced.

Belated congrats... Over here 19 is the age for drinking.......

Stay Safe......................AZAR

yeah same. but i might smetimes get a beer or two....

Glad you had a good time Vi. Personally I always found the best way to find your drinking limit was to step well and truely over it, so good for you!

Don't have any war stories from parties i've hosted, simply because I don't host them. I avoid them like the plague, it's a fast track to getting your house trashed by your alleged mates.

Good lord. The definitions some people have of a "good time"

...I'll never get over it.

Still, whatever floats your boat, right? And grass does grow back so there's no permanent harm done (you liver may disagree, I guess). Whatever the case, you only turn 18 once so it's good that you did it in style.

...well maybe "style" is the wrong word. Whatever.

Getting stinking and horking ... hallmark rites of passage. Point would be not to make it a habit.

*Shakes head* You guys and your binge-drinkin'... doesn't anyone apart from me want to sit down and read a good novel with a cup of vintage Darjeeling instead of hanging out at a seedy bar?

Good to hear you had a good one for your 18th Vi. I don't remember mine...

Congrats, Viator, glad you liked the party
My worst memory was probably my sisters wedding - we celebrated for two days, and then a friend of mine and I decided to "improve our health" which lasted for another two days (I counted six empty 0.7 l bottles of brandy after that). On the third(fifth) day I just wanted to die - spent all day in bed. It wasn't until next morning that I was able to face booze again

Well, actually I prefer bad novels and hot Milo.

First, Esky, welcome back

Second: ehhhhmmmm, on the Darjeeling, forgive me if I say this, But I'd rather pick a good old recipe my mother told me:

1 hot cup of Chai.

2 table spoons of sugar

and milk it enough so that its a tad off-white creamish.

Thats how I drink my tea, and thats the way I like it... uh-huh.
anyway, can anyone tell me something about the history and hertage of Darjeeling??, and what the taste supposedly is??

as for Vi, Congrats m8, shame on the grass though, but ohh well, all life heals, and so does the grass. one further tip though: Don't go overboard with the Whiskey, it can knock you stone dead faster then a Bullet can kill you, if you know what I mean thats personal experience btw. anywho, if you like Whiskey, I'd suggest trying a Macnamara (Scottish Highland iirc) or a Glen Grant (not sure, I suspect Highland, but it has quite a heavy taste with a bit of a light taste through it) ohhhh and one more, if you ever get a bottle of tè Bhéag nan eileann (sp?) don't go over board, and don't mix it with coke, its a beautifull, really highland whiskey single malt if my memory serves me right with quite a bit of a naughty taste.

Darjeeling is a specific area of NE India, in the Himalayas. Darjeeling (at its best) has a light distinctly grapey flavour, which some say is similar to Moscatel. it's generally considered the champagne of teas, and the best darjeeling is very light and refreshing without any additives at all; however, there are a plethora of cheap nasty Darjeelings made from the poorer plantations and from rejected stock. Most supermarket darjeeling falls into the latter category.

@Loc: who in his/her sane mind would mix whisky with anything?!

@Zlo.

Amen to that. Altho, I confess to diluting it a little bit with some crystal clear spring water or ice depending on the type of whiskey.
