Alcoholic Cocktails. Which Is The Most Potent?

Tweet

I tend to be a lager drinker when I'm out and about, but I will drink cider as not all establishments stock the lager I like. On holiday I always tend to go a bit "mad" with drink, as one does when one is on holiday lol. One incident that crosses my mind was in Calella, Spain with a friend of mine, Caroline. Now, Caroline could drink anyone under the table but alcohol could make her sick, whereas I was puke free! Anyway, the first night in the Hotel Balmes we decided to stay there as opposed to sampling the delights of the resort, as we hadn't been there for long so got dressed up and sidled down into the bar, with the intention of only having "a couple" before calling it a night. However, once we eyed up the Cocktail Menu that was it, we decided to work our way down the list...and there were at least 20 of them, each Cocktail having a description of what was in them. Anyhow, when it came to the Manhattan Cocktail (about half-way down the list) I was dismayed to learn that it was in a small glass as opposed to the tall glasses for the previous ones. The bartender just laughed and said something like, "You wait, you wait and see!" before handing over the glass to me. Upon drinking it I felt fine and couldn't think what all the fuss was about. HOWEVER, once I got up off the barstool to go to the loo a few yards away, I practically fell over in a heap and it took me AGES to get there. My legs had just given way and I was weaving from side to side uncontrollably in a very embarrassing manner! All I could hear were cackles of laughter coming from the bartender and my smug friend and when I came back they shook their heads as if to say, "Told you so!" Oh dear, never again (she says) hehe lol.
