The joke in these parts is that it's easier to skip the middleman and just pour Corona directly into the toilet. There are many beers that are better than Corona.

The closest I get is Ny-Quil (the nighttime sniffling sneezing coughing aching stuffy head fever why-the-heck-is-the-room-spinning medicine). Careful, my grandma got snockered taking cough medicine one time back in the day (circa 1970s). Probably didn't help that she took a spoonful nearly everytime she coughed. Later, when describing her experiences. Dad: Mom, you were drunk Grandma: Oh noooooo!! Now, whenever I watch the Andy Griffith episode, when Aunt Bee gets drunk on the travelling medicine man's elixir, I think of grandma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Oh, I have. But it was nigh on 40 years ago, and one must (1) make allowances for the deterioration of memory, and (2) maintain reservations about the judgment of someone in their 20s, even when that someone was yourself.
