Oh man... although I generally avoid hard liquor (does not seem to have the curative properties that beer does) I particularly stay away from rum ever since I went home for X-Mas and downed almost a full 26'er of Bacardi mumzie had laying around.
Because it was a full house I passed out on the couch and was rudely awoken by a bunch of shrieking kids crawling all over, the empty bottle leaning against me (placed there by my mom) and mumzie taking pictures of me with the flash on.
Friggen' sugar booze, man. Hardcore.
If I go for a shnoot of the hard stuff I generally prefer whiskey/scotch. Even then any more than a few shots rips me to shreds these days.
