Funny how taste can trigger memories. A sip of Bordeaux and you’re shopping Saint Germain; a pint of Guinness and your semester abroad comes flooding back; just a drop of tequila and . . . well, that was your 21st birthday, and you haven’t touched the stuff since.



When I sip two of Indochine’s freakin’ delicious Charlie Browns — vodka, rum, coconut vodka, coconut rum, vanilla vodka, triple sec, coconut cream, half and half, Frangelico, Kahlua, and vanilla ice cream poured over crushed ice in a Stella Artois goblet, I can’t help think about the time I was really, really drunk and instantly fat.  Good times.
