Between Melting & Boiling

The human body needs a regular supply of drinks. But not all substances in the liquid state are potable:

Not my drinks:
  • Baileys
    The Irish cream liqueur, which was launched on November 26, 1974. If marketing folks want to delude me into drinking anything, they should try it with a bit more wit. One of the most boring drinks ever brought to market.
  • Vodka mixed
    Stick to high quality vodka which is produced in countries of the former Soviet Union and you will never make the mistake of adding anything to vodka at all. Forget Smirnov, Absolute, and all that lousy crap they try to sell you. Make a trip to Moscow.
  • Alcopops
    Something for the Teletubby generation, far beyond my coordinate system of comprehension.
  • Coke
    The symbol of American imperialism. Who wants to be known as a friend of a lost case? Only useful to sort out a disturbed stomach.
  • British Lager
    or any lager that is not brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot.
  • Root Vegetable Juice
    I doubt that I will ever be ill enough be able to enjoy any of this healthy drinks.
  • Multi Vitamin Drinks
    All taste the same and all taste like a detergent
My drinks:
  • Zürich's Tap Water
    Extremely soft water (low calcium level). Its purity is monitored by a trout swimming in the stream of water. If the fish stops swimming, it triggers a light barrier alarm.
  • Vine
    Any chosen by my Gatín is a wise choice.
  • Citrus Fruit Juice
    Any is good as far as no sugar is added.
  • Coffee
    keeps my engine running - hence, decaf is considered barbaric (must be an American invention, though).
  • Belgian Beer
    It can be anything (excluding Stella Artois): Lambic, Gueuze, Faro, Double, Triple, name it...

What's wrong with Stella? I'm taking it personally you know!

Please don't blame the messenger. You really deserve a bear with a bit more passion and character to be named after you.
