I was taught to drink - yeah these many years ago - by a dear friend who was a priest....he took me out when I was about 17 (remember this was in the UK not here) and gave me a gin and dry ginger -- or 2 or 3. I learned to love gin then and still but with tonic ==== we track our financial status on whether we can afford rot gut or good gin ---- any Boodles lovers out there?...
