Rail Gin is the only gin that tells you the Truth about gin. All else is adulteration of some sort or another.

You're correct.  Rail gin is the only honest gin.

I used to buy a $10 bracelet at a gay bar back in LaX for karaoke night. It allowed as much shitty (for Wisconsin) beer as you wanted or as many rail shots and simple mixers of any common booze. The only limits being your liver, stomach lining, kidneys, dignity, and moral fiber And given my size and heritage I could put back A LOT. Then one day I came in in a bad mood and sat down masking as well as I could. I asked for rail gin shots. The bartender had seen me put away like 30+ rum&coke and rail whiskey shots in plenty. She immediately looked me in the eye and seeing me, refused to serve me. Probably saved my life.

She was wise.  Gin is blatant self harm.

It's okay, guys. Me and the other ladies will deal with all that evil fucking gin for you and enjoy it. Nothing to worry about. Serves us right, what with the fall from grace in Eden and all, right? Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

The gin can't hurt you anymore.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

Gin can always hurt you.  But thanks for taking one for the team.  :lol:

*sips extremely good gin based cocktail* HAPPY to deal with it. This is Eve's drink, after all.

I'm gonna go strain my gins, actually. They need to be anyway, but now it's SPITE.

In my defense, it was unclear whether you were on the side of evil, or someone who liked gin.

In your defense, every bartender I know now agrees: gin is just fine. It's the gin-haters who are wrong.

I'm not saying this guy is off base because of quinine poisoning due to excessive abuse of "gin and tonic" mixers, but I'm not not saying it either.

Quote
Now quinine comes from the bark of the cinchona tree and is a compound that is extremely bitter to the taste. It didn't take the English long to figure out that if quinine is dissolved in water then mixed with gin it was a more alluring drink.

Gin is my golden apple.

It seems far more valuable than it actually is and can be abused to start wars that ultimately collapse civilization for several hundred years? Sounds about right.
