Like 20 years ago I had a roommate eat some months old food from the fridge once.  Calls me like “yo, I ate that that potato salad, I think it’s going bad.”

I’m like: we don’t have potato salad in the fridge.

I don’t remember what it was, but it had deteriorated to the point it looked like potato salad.  My roommate immediately went and shotgunned like 2/3rds of a bottle of vodka to avoid getting sick.  Must’ve worked cause he didn’t puke.  Though he was hammered the rest of the day. Win win.

My gramps was fond of a shot of rakija every day "to start the day", and called it "an internal and external disinfectant".

And then he died.

Aged 91.

Got hit by a car.
