Vodka +

I have heard people recommend a lot of things to mix with Vodka. Someone recommends orange juice, another chap recommends grape juice, someone says anything but musambi.

During tea-time on a friday (about a month back), I had this conversation with a friend (to protect his identity, he will be referred to as JN).

K : Hey, what plans for this weekend ?

JN : Nothing much.. the usual things.

I knew that he was a famous "teetotaller".

K : What ? Boozing ?

JN : No.

I was contemplating an investment in United Breweries, and as a would-be share holder, this was not the news I wanted to hear.
K (surprised.. nay shocked) : What ? No boozing ? (to self : How will UB survive ? )
JN : I am still recovering from a hang over.. thats why i did not come to office yesterday.

K (shock vaporizing) : You had a booze party in the middle of the week ? Man..

JN : It was a rather wild party. Two of my friends had come over, and we had a bottle of vodka… so we thought it would be nice to empty that bottle.

JN : Trouble was, we could not find any glasses at home. So we had to adjust a bit.

Well… who would have thought there would be no glass in JN's house. Shows you anything is possible in this world.

K : What adjustment ?

JN : My friend found an unused vessel in the house. We just poured vodka and water into it, and every one took turns drinking directly from it. I dont even remember how much I had.

JN : The next day morning, I woke up with a bad headache. And, I also found out that the thought of food induced nausea. To top it off, my stomach was, er, not the same.

JN : I took another look at the vessel we drank from. And then, I realized that we used to keep surf (a brand of detergent) in that vessel. That idiot had not cleaned it properly. 😦

Well..there you have it. A chappie who mixes surf into his vodka… From his reaction, it looks like he will not recommend it to anyone else :).

Update : The hero of this post pointed out a mistake, and I have rectified it. Thanks JN.
