Out Of 100

Reading through the Kaiser Penguin archives I came across this:

Instructions:
Copy this list into your blog, with instructions.
Bold all the drinks you’ve imbibed.
Cross out any items that you won’t touch.

I got 54. There are some drinks on this list that I intend to have, soonish. There are some I fear I will never have. There is only one I will not touch. In regards to it I agree with Mark Prince and we'll just leave it at that.

Now, on to the asterisks:

* I have drank glacier water while on a glacier. Does that count? ;) I imagine it's a similar experience and a vastly different experience all at once.

** The juice I enjoyed was created by my macerating sugarcane between my molars. I've decided this counts.

*** Not American Rye but Canadian Whisky. I realise this isn't really the same thing. The LCBO simple doesn't stock US Rye. Oh well....

There are some things I think I could add to this list. I won't bother making my own list though. I'll just adjust this one with substititions so that I can acheive 100!
