Rum Punch

This is sort of off topic but it involves rum so really it is travel related!
Just a brief public interest warning:
If someone offers you punch that involves pomegranate juice, rum and champagne. Just politely decline and find yourself a glass of wine or cold beer.
Whew ... when you don't really taste the alcohol is when you can really get yourself in trouble.
I am just saying.

OMG - how true! Our first trip to St. John, we were at the Westin. I think by the time we finally got to the room I had 4 rum punches! I did NOTHING but lay in a beach chair the whole next day! It hits you before you know it!

That is why I told my daughter that when she gets to college, do not take a drink from someone that is called "punch". Been there, done that.

DOES YOUR HEAD HURT???? (I'm sorry, was I yelling?)
Take some aspirin, tell your boss you have the flu, and repeat after me: I will not drink 15 rum punches again, I will not drink 15 rum punches again, I will not.....
Wait, where is that hangover thread? If memory serves, you need to get nekkid and eat a burrito....something like that.

Somehow I missed that nekkid thread! That and burritos?? Sounds like a powerful combination! But heck - I'll try it!

Watch out, Sue. Remember, "
That" has a whole different meaning on this forum.....but you know,
that and burritos might just make you forget the rum punch, FF.

I think if I tried to do "that" with this headache and queasies it would get ugly really fast!

Politely DECLINE rum punch?!?!? Surely you jest!
Hope you feel better soon. Little grease, little caffeine, lotta water. You'll be right as rain & ready for more!

I think you need to go to JJ's and get a breakfast burrito and a diet coke, then haul a huge cooler filled with alot of beer and a little water to the beach. Then get to the beach and get nekkid.
Does that sound right?

I've actually coerced the Mrs. to participate in many a study into the healing powers of that. There are many things that can cure.
I should have an office holiday party. Let's see...I work from home in my basement. Would it be at all wrong to sit here and just drink tight from a Cruzan Bottle while I stare at the map of the VI's in my office and the big VI Pale Ale sign?
No?
OK then.[/i]
