Lmao, IIRC the Golden Nugget is the casino I went to with my little bro when he was too young to gamble/drink because it has a neon/blacklight bowling alley. It was hosting a convention for Rockabillies, a thing I did know existed at the time. I remember walking in there and thinking that I had discovered the true Las Vegas culture.

When asked what he would take with him if marooned on a desert island, the mayor replied, "A bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin." When asked about his hobbies, the mayor named drinking Bombay Sapphire Gin as a favorite. Later, when asked to comment about his statements, Goodman was unapologetic: "I'm the George Washington of mayors. I can't tell a lie. If they didn't want the answer, the kid shouldn't have asked the question." This caused an outcry from parents whose children heard the remark, and school officials said the remark was inappropriate.[26][27] Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas In July 2006 the mayor criticized the Ubisoft game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas for its premise of terrorism in Las Vegas, because he thought it may tarnish the city's image. He stated, "It's based on a false premise.... It could be harmful economically, and it may be something that's not entitled to free speech (protection).... I will ask... whether or not we can stop it."[28] Publication of the game was not hindered.

Fake edit counterpoint: Making kids take a few shots of gin would be more effective than DARE ever was.

Pretty much all hard liquor tastes like rear end if you don't mix it with something, and I say that as someone who's been drinking consistently for 15 years. I used to be into whisky because I thought it made me cool and worldly, and then stopped when I realized I hated the taste. Also I still can't wrap my mind about how the country of the "free" has turned into France before the revolution, but instead of organizing any push back against the bourgeoisie America is voting for better weapons for the police to quell any unrest. Utterly mind boggling.

Heath posted:I'm a teetotaling weirdo but I've always wondered what Bombay Sapphire tastes like. It looks like Windex. Yeah, I was disappointed when I discovered it's just the bottle. However, gin & tonic flouresces under ultra-violet light, so if you have a glass on a sunny day you can see it glowing purple ever-so-slightly. It's better indoors if you have any sort of UV source, like a blacklight or fishtank lights.

I remember they passed around this big board with little plastic blisters on it with drugs in them and I was just fascinated by all the pills. I have heard, and now that I'm typing it I'm going to try to confirm it, that children who went through the DARE program were more likely to do drugs than those that didn't. I also remember around prom time one year there was this ad campaign where they described in intricate detail how to do basically every drug. Like, here's how you cook heroin. Here's how you prep cocaine. It was insane. Then I guess the point was that you weren't supposed to do drugs.

Sometimes I slightly kind of regret avoiding drinking because there're (presumably) so many flavors out there to experience. But now that I think about it, the most common thing I hear when people talk about alcohol is how much they hate the flavor of X.
