---Sigh---
The taste did not seem good..the smell was awesome though. It was more like a cough syrup. Pro2 made it for me, the quantity of whiskey was quite low by my 'standard'. I had always idolized heros guzzling beer like anything. So I was dissatisfied initially with the quantity of whiskey. To that small amount almost the glass was filled with Thums up and a bit of water. It was bitter. I had trouble big time finishing the first glass. For the next one no water was added,it was all Thums Up and quantity of whiskey was increased. It hurt less this time. Later, Thums Up tasted bitter when I had it 'neat'. It(Thums Up) also got over by the time I finished my second glass. Pro1 and Pro 2 told me that if you had it 'neat' you come know the actual flow of food down your throat. It was the time to experience and I had it neat. My throat was all burning but I had to bear that to know how booze floats down to my stomach. The whole path which it took was burning or I felt hot all down there, I mean the path from throat to stomach. I drank water to get some relief. Aha, relieved I was. Then I had two glasses with water itself. To be truthful I was not feeling anything, I mean it didn't feel anytime that I'm drinking liquor. I did not loose any of my senses.
Since I didnt feel drunk I had more, this time with water only..and I began to enjoy the taste more. And had 3 glasses more. To test whether I was drunk or not... I was given the task to stand on one leg, spread out my arms and speak " british constitution " 3 times. I had trouble standing on one leg and then this "British constitution" seemed like a tongue twister..though I said it. To the prove point to them that I not drunk I did that 4 more times.
Finally I slept at 3..I believe a final glass at 2:30 am did the trick. I woke up today at 11 am. No hangover..nothing. I guess becoming pro. 'Experience ceratainty' is a fucking phrase..It's always uncertain.
