CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It depends on how we define dangerous, but in general I agree. I will say for me, though, I feel cannabis is more dangerous than alcohol in terms of ability to be in control of my boundaries and aware of my surroundings. A shot or two of vodka and I can’t drive, but I have my faculties. I do not have the same experience with cannabis.
In terms of medical danger, I agree. Too much alcohol will kill you, too much pot will make you wish it could, but ultimately won’t kill you.

Then I must be very dangerous considering how many shots of plain vodka I’ve done. I usually do it help clear my sinuses and help me sleep. Ope

Someone mentioned coffee...
Kahula (coffee liquor) and vodka is a Black Russian! With heavy cream it's a White Russian!
I'm rather embarrassed to admit- I may have abused alcohol a little too much during the pandemic.

For wheat beer, I can recommend Paulaner Hefeweisen.
If you are in it for the citrus: Citrus and beer were made for each other
On that list I can say I've Ballast Point, Stone, Dogfish Head. Be sure to read the label, though. Both Dogfish Head and Stone are known for IPAs and if you're not into bitterness/hops you're not going to enjoy it.

I'm a sucker for a good IPA. When we travelled around the States just prior to covid I thought it was going to be all Budweiser and Coors. Boy, was I very pleasantly surprised. Strange that every place I decided to stay was near a boutique brewery. I'm sure my wife still thinks it was a coincidence.

I never understood the appeal of coors lite. I prefer Busch lite if I want to have a beer. Haven't tried many IPAs yet.

Interesting thread. Has anyone here ever heard of a French 75? It's my favorite summer drink. And very similar to a Tom Collins:
1) You start with 2 oz. of a good gin. (I like Tanqueray, or Bombay Sapphire.)
2) Add 1 oz. of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 oz. of simple syrup. You shake this over 1 cup of ice, then pour it into an 8 oz. glass filled with fresh ice.
3) Then you finish it with 2 oz. of chilled club soda. And add a slice of lemon as a garnish.
A French 75 is exactly the same, except that in step 3 you add chilled Brut champagne instead of club soda.
So why is it called a French 75? According to legend, the French army in WWI had an artillery piece which fired 75mm shells, each weighing from 12-15 lbs. It had such a vicious recoil, that it was said to be as dangerous to the gun crew as it was to the Germans. The French 75 cocktail has the same kick.

Hmm. I happen to be standing a couple of metres from all those ingredients. Whilst drinking Una Paloma. Lime juice, simple syrup, pink grapefruit juice. And a slug of tequila. Stir, add chunky ice and a sprinkle of quality salt.Interesting thread. Has anyone here ever heard of a French 75? It's my favorite summer drink. And very similar to a Tom Collins:

Can confirm! I don't recall precisely though I think the recipe we had at a recent event was slightly different, however it was definitely a French 75 served at the cocktail and wine bar. And it was indeed quite strong, a true example of enjoying it strictly in moderation. I was not aware of the origin of the name though, quite the fascinating metaphor I must say.
