[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 330665, member: 1963"] Janet, I LOVE "Virgin Marys". They are Bloody Marys without the vodka. I l like the spicy V8 juice and the like as well. For some reason, alcohol in tomato juice is just gross, plus starting off the day on an empty stomach and dumping in booze really upsets my stomach. I actually almost always have a container of Bloody Mary mix in my fridge. I drink it almost daily--that or the spicy V8 juice. If someone went through my recycling and saw all the bottles of Bloody Mary mix, they'd think I was a real lush. I also like "virgin" gin rickies, basically tonic water mixed with Rose's lime juice and a squeeze of fresh lime. I don't like them with gin in them. My mother taught me about the rickies years ago. It looks like a "real" drink and in peer situations it takes off the pressure to have a drink when someone buys a round. husband used to drink iced tea with "fruit salad on a swizzle stick". Again it looked like a "real drink", but contained no alcohol. One or the other of us were always the designated driver for "crawls", and this despite husband having been a master brewer and us having anywhere up to ten gallons of the best beer you could imagine in the basement at all times. When we had parties at our place, we used to make everyone dump their car keys in a big jar on the counter. The rule was that if you drank at our place, you slept at our place. Back in the wild old days, I once woke up to find someone sleeping in our BATHTUB! To this day I don't know who the guy was, but he was fed breakfast and sent home sober, LoL [/QUOTE]
