With saki, it should have been rice yeah. We had a similar thing happen when I was young, only it involved our horses.
We used to have what we called 'the shack'. It was the original log cabin built when our farm was homesteaded. Once the mobile home was moved on (yee-haw, I'm redneck), we started using the shack for storage. This included empty wine and spirit bottles, lawn furniture, and our freezer. Kids being kids, we loved to play out there. The original stove was still there, we had scrounged up some buckets, and we'd play 'kitchen'. We'd grab up handfuls of grain from the barn. When mom accidentally dropped a bag of saskatoons destined for the freezer, we were quick to pick them up and add them to 'the stew'. My little brother would pour the dregs of the whiskey bottles and wine into the bucket as well. In the end, we had a bucket full of booze, grain, and berries. It sat there for AGES. As near as I can recall, we had that bucket of booze slurry for at least a year, constantly twinking with 'the recipe'. Until the horses got into the shack one day, and ate the whole damn bucket. We came home from town to find the horses standing on the front lawn, nodding their heads, up and down, up and down, up and down. They stood there like that all day. It took my brother and I all of five seconds to put together the meaning behind the horses' behavior, and the door of the shack hanging wide open.

yeah, chocolatinis aren't really made for getting drunk. lol. sipping in the hot tub, yes. getting drunk, no.
I tend to avoid sugary drinks at all costs now too. Ceasars or wine are my drinks of choice. Even the white wines I'm starting to find too sweet, and beer as well. Lately I've been craving a good old cup of campfire coffee and rye.
Thanks Karrie!!
That horsie story was a hoot ...
Funny about that Saki - I think they never drank it after that - or at least never admitted to drinking it....
Also strange was this particular sister (I had six) wasn't one of the blondes !!

Thanks Karrie....I kinda thought that might be it.
Re: Choclatinis-- Yeah, I didn't exactly INTEND to get drunk...it's just that so many of them fell into my mouth. I'm innocent, I tells ya! Theatre parties are a bit raucous...
ukeright:lol. six sisters, that's incredible! My mom grew up with five sisters and I thought that was difficult enough at family gatherings! lol.
Yeah, I'm familiar with that phenomena. I have a friend here in town that, when we get together, whole bottles of wine can just magically transport themselves into our tummies. Bizarre how it happens.
Hi L.G.
You can buy everything you need in a kit including the carboy etc for aroud $50.00 The beer kits are between $10 and $15. You provide the water and the labour. Just follow the instructions and you will have about five dozen beer ready to drink in roughly a month and a half.

:???: I was the quiet one too! And there is one brother! He's spoiled and was a monster!
Yeah, in my mom's family there are two boys. One who grew up with all the girls, and then one who was a 'whoops' when almost all the other kids were out of the house. He's only 7 years older than me. Both were super spoiled, since both were the only boy in the house when they were growing up.
