I started on straight hard liquor and never strayed much. Of course some beer & wine but it's takes too long to get drunk on them-- I couldn't chug & I couldn't wait. An AA guy & I had an informal competition to list all the types of liquor we drank. I don't have a lot of gaps but I was primarily a gin-drinker.
Ahhh, I love the little trips back in time to all the ways we drank. Even our nostalgia is twisted. When my uncle was on his deathbed with cirrhosis, my alcoholic, also dying father went to see him in the hospital and they talked about the wines they'd enjoyed over the years.
