Last week Christopher Hitchens was back in the news, having written a book from his hospital room at MD Anderson. Turns out a PEG has finally made him sober.
[quote]Even more inconceivable to many of his friends, Mr. Hitchens, who used to thrive on whiskey the way a bee thrives on nectar, hasn�t had a drink since July, when a feeding tube was installed in his stomach. �That�s the most depressing aspect,� he said. �The taste is gone. I don�t even want to. It�s incredible what you can get used to.� [/quote]
And here I thought that people who said they drink whiskey for the taste were like those who buy Playboy for the articles. BTW, I never liked the taste of whiskey.
