I like Perrier. For those of you who don't know, Perrier is a brand of sparkling water that's absolutely awesome! It is also known for coming in a very unique tear shaped bottle that looks suspiciously like a liqour bottle.
Well as I was driving home today drinking one of these delicious beverages I saw a cop light up right behind me. I looked down to make sure I wasn't speeding, I wasn't. So I pulled over to see what he wanted. The guy stomps up to my car and I'm sitting there wondering what the hell I did to piss him off. Well the guy is up at my window and demands, "Lisence and registration." So I give it to him and after he's convinced that I'm not on the FBI's most wanted list looks at me and says "Sir, what are you drinking?" I'm somewhat confused at what is going on and then it all clicks. He had mistaken my Pierrier bottle for a liquor bottle. I quickly explained that I wasn't drinking while driving and offered him a sip of it. So this giant poliece officer takes a sip of the bottle and his eyes widen as he spits it out. He then stares at me in disbelief and says "Dear god! You drink this shit?" I just shrug and tell him it's an aquired taste. Then he looks at me with a face that seemed in denial that after billions of years of evolution there stood before him a freak of creation that would put this shit in his mouth. He then appologized for taking up my time and told me I was free to go. And as I drove off into the sunset I looked back at him and I could of sworn I saw a look on his face that seemed to question the very human condition. And that's the story of how I think I gave a state trooper an existential crisis with a bottle of sparkling water.

Perrier is great. I usually have a bottle or two of pelligrino at home.

I like drinking glass bottle root beer while driving, because I'm ornery, and I have never been stopped by a cop for it. I wonder what the laws are like where you are because for most of these reasons cops pull people over based on suspicion are illegal in Ohio. Like if they see you aren't wearing a seat belt, even on a clear day in a convertible, then they have to have some other reason for pulling you over like a tail light has to be out.

The lemon goes very well with gin. Just don't drink it to excess regularly because it's very acidic. A lesson I learned first hand.

I was young and able to shake off an upset stomach pretty easily. I switched to beer for a while. The real culprit was the kid who bartended at our usual hangout. This was in Spain so the owner's 16 year old nephew tended bar regularly. He found it hilarious to secretly mix our drinks at triple strength. We didn't complain all that loudly. Gin and lemon was a pretty standard drink there in the scorching hot summers.

God I wish I was still young like that! When I was in college I drank so much once that I turned purple and nearly died.
The next day my roommate's parents came to town and took us out to Thai food for lunch. I was already recovered and able to try a type of food have never tried before.
Good old days...

I'll always remember one day when I was a little kid, riding in the car with my mom. It was a hot summer day, and she stopped off at a corner store for some cold drinks* for the two of us. I think we each got 7up. As she started the car while sipping hers, I remember being horrified.
"Mom, you're drinking and driving!"
I thought that's what it meant. I was, like, maybe five or six.
On the other hand, whenever I heard on the news:
"Police consider speed and alcohol to be factors in the motor vehicle accident"
... I was always surprised how many drivers mixed booze with uppers.
*and likely a pack of smokes for herself, to smoke in the car with me in it. It was the early '8os and the windows were down, so second-hand smoke wasn't a "thing".

If I were the cop, I would have given him a ticket anyway for being such a fag that drinks Perrier. By the way, you and Alex should get a room together.

the lime or lemon/lime is bar none, the best thing to mix with gin.
