there's always Wild Irish Rose. Some guy named Richard makes it, well his name's on the bottle. I always heard Thunderbird would turn your mouth funky colors? That always scared me away from it.
They have escaped into the mansion where they thought it was safe, yet.

You're thinking about the liver, not the mouth.

Truthies: One of my favorite stories my Father tells about Vietnam is when he was invited to a "Black only" bar that sold nothing but Thunderbird. The officer he reported to "Smokey" had one eye and skin the darkest shade of black seen on skin. Smokey and my Father Palled around a lot, and although my Father insisted that he should probably not attend the bar, it was Smokey's call. My Father said that when you walked into the bar, a man would hand you a cigar box and a bag, and all ammo and weapons had to be put in either the box or bag. After your tab was paid, you would get your weapons and ammo back.

A few pool tables, a bunch of smoke, and all the place served was Thuderbird, by the bottle at that. I'll always remember my father saying "Luke, I grew up in South side of Chicago. I was first Cav in Vietnam and denied a Purple heart. But I don't think I've ever been so uncomfortable as I was during my brief stay at that bar. As much as Smokey gloated about me, I wasn't wanted there. Only time I felt uncomfortable around my Army brethren". Different times.


One funny think about said Smokey was his missing eye. He had several stories on how he lost his eye, but one night (probably after Thunderbird) he told my father the truth. "Johann, I have to be honest. I suck at racquetball". After all the gruesome stories on being shot in the face, turns out Smokey lost his eye in his first match of racquetball. I find that awesome.

Its a rumor where if you drink a lot of the stuff, your mouth/tongue will turn black.

Yeah, because it turns you liver into liver pudding.

Wait really? I wouldn't be surprised as eating a few candy canes turns my mouth a bright red.

Eating a red colored candy that turns your mouth red is understandable. Drinking something that looks like piss and turns your mouth black is something else.

I recently discovered that Stone brewery makes some tasty brews.

I tried thier Arrogant Bastard Ale and their Ruination DIPA. The Ruination was a bit hoppy for my tastes, but Arrogant Bastard is now my favorite ale.

If you claim to drink that heavily and won't down whiskey straight or do drugs, than maybe you should consider that you do have a problem, which is being a big pussy.
