As someone whose almost 40....hyep.
I remember one night me and a friend passed a handle of gin back and forth and drank the whole thing right from the bottle. What the hell happened? That was only like 15 years ago.
You ever heard of Bacardi 151? It was an alcohol that was 151 proof. 75% alcohol by volume.
My friend used to buy this $80 bottle. It was huge. Bought it every week. We'd do shots from 7pm, until ?????. We'd wake up the next day, bottle empty, no clue what happened past 10pm, but we'd always find evidence we were up until at least 6am.
They don't even MAKE that stuff anymore because they said it was too dangerous.
Now I drink like 6-8 beers and I'm thinking its getting late.
~~They still make and sell 151.~~ Hell I can buy Everclear (190 proof) at Walmart where I live.
edit: I stand corrected they stopped making 151 in 2016, though Everclear is still on the market.
Someone said to me that even if the majority would now vote for a third party, they wouldn't get anything done because the Senate Ave Congress are still all dems and reps.
I don't know enough about how US elections work though
It's just an excuse.
They will be hard to deal with, but for the first time ever, they need to learn compromise.
It also opens up for legitimate third part candidates in next Senate election.
