LoA: Oh my...haha! At least you made it home!

Well, I can honestly say in my er, younger days...snicker...in Moscow I learned to do shots...the guys thought it was a hoot to teach a girl to do it (wasn't a common thing for a "lady" to do!) At 18, I was a bit more daring, I guess. Of course, I would highly recommend not doing three shots of lemon vodka, bad champagne chasers and going to the disco floor ...only time in my life I lost consciousness from drinking- ended up so sick , my pals from the program sat up with me all night... I can still remember Rick saying " Ok baby, I KNOW you just want to die, but puke it up, you'll feel better" and my group leader (from whose clutches, apparently Rick rescued me) came into my room the next day and told me "Oh just get up and have another shot, 'hair of the dog and all that' or have a dill pickle" Argh...I lost the pepto I'd finally managed to keep down at that point. YUK... missed a great tour of Suzdal that day (historical site we were visiting) and I lost my taste for vodka for many a year after that. Learned my lesson, though!
