When I was a tank crewman in the Army, Boone’s is what we drank if we couldn’t get Mad Dog. And B&J wine coolers were what we drank if we couldn’t get Boone’s. I can’t believe I spent so much of the 90’s drinking bad alcohol. But, depending on who I woke up with the next morning, sometimes it was worth it.  |
