Every damn bar I go to a bar on a so-called ladies’ night, they have only vodka drinks on the menu. I mean, they just automatically assume that a woman’s drink of choice is vodka and nothing else.

Let’s talk about the drink which actually should be on that menu. My old friend, sweet rum!

Rum is known for it’s sweet, sweet taste.

And what is vodka known for?

The drink of the Devil!

No? The God of blackouts?

I can’t even begin to tell you about the number of times I’ve blacked the fuck out thanks to the clear spirit. There have been mornings when I woke up thinking I’ve died. Now what could be worse than that?

Then I found my saviour in golden disguise. It was there all along but I ignored it thinking it’s out of my league. Oh boy, was I wrong!

Ever since I changed my poison, life has been so much better. I don’t need to pay for that extra juice cost anymore because coke is cheap and water is free, and those are the only two things you need to have a satisfying glass of rum.

Also, for someone who gets a sore throat or a cold every now and then, I don’t have to resist drinking anymore because unlike vodka, rum can be had both ways; hot and cold!

The sweet sensation it gives when you take a sip of rum and warm water, going down your throat, for lack of a better word, is orgasmic! Also, have you heard of rum toddy? It’s the best thing in the world.

On the other hand, trying drinking vodka with water. It’s like God’s wrath attacking every bit of your insides.

If you’ve suffered enough abuse at the hands of the Russian potato water, it’s time to switch to this sweet liquor of warmth. 

Cheers!
