I've got it. Had to travel some for it though. It's green and it looks
and smells, well, odd. It's also 20 percent proof, so I will not be
drinking it from a pint glass, i'm trying to reach April for christ
sake. Also, I have company, so once things get going I will knock a
few up (in half pint glasses) and get the assembled's opinions.

I really must take my hat off to you and Don if you used to drink this
stuff with Vodka by the pint, little wonder you have such an
understanding of the liver. How on earth did Don reach the attic after
that? Or did you start in the attic so you could just fall down one
floor at the appropriate moment?

Get back to you a little later.
