How Not To Eat: CHOCOVINE

After evaluating the critical acclaim that my last "How Not To Eat" post garnered from nearly four people (in at least TWO different tax brackets!), I decided to attempt to make this a regular feature. After all, it's not as if I've suddenly gone health nut on you -- and, once I reach Britain, I could do a seven-part series on Mushy Peas (which I loathe) and doner kebabs (which I ashamedly love) alone.

Now, who wouldn't want to eat that??

Today's instalment, however, focuses on the wonders of less-than-quality alcoholic beverages. On the whole, I'm very fond of "good" alcohol of all types (and may make a few posts here with some new cocktails/beers I've discovered that would be worth your time), but let's not forget that not only did I spend a long and mostly fruitless period of my life hovering around the college "scene," I also spent a month touring the hostels and pubs and Threshers of the UK, so it's not as if I've never drank a Pabst, or 4-Loko, or Carling, or... 

Well, you get the idea. I'm not going to make it a hobby of drinking crates of shit alcohol and blogging about it, but if I come across something particularly memorable, you can expect that the experience will eventually make its way to this corner of the internets. 

This week's monstrosity occurs after the jump. 

Happy 2011!

And, as usual, I welcome the less-than-tens of people who read this drivel to the new year a full month late.

Welcome to 2011, the year many consider to be the penultimate annum of our existence.

If this doesn't kill us all BEFORE the games, Sarah Palin still will.

She may beat London to it, come to think of it.

My resolution is to write more. For the children (but not the British children). I have a number of topics up in the ol' noggin that I just need to, you know, write into real people words, and then you all can resume rolling on the floor laughing (or ROFL, in the common tongue -- well, mine at least). 

As MacArthur told the Filipinos, I shall return. Hopefully in less than four months this time.
