I wanna try some brandy. Or sherry. All this talk of booze has me wondering what it tastes like. Does it burn? I don't want anything that is gonna tear up my stomach or burn my esophagus.
If you have serious medical esoph/gastro problems, you might be taking a chance, without checking with your doctor first, but, barring that...
I can't say anything about sherry, but...
You can always try a flavored brandy... DuBouchett and Hiram Walker or other manufacturers... I drink DuBouchett Peach Brandy myself in the winter; I go through, maybe, two bottles per winter; at a rate of one or two shot-glasses -full per week, on the coldest nights.
Several flavors to choose from... cherry, peach, apricot, blackberry, blueberry, and one or two others that haven't come up on my scope yet, I'm sure.
You may not find them at your run-of-the-mill liquor store or liquor department in some other kind of store; rather, you may have to look for such stuff in the larger stores and the liquor 'warehouse' -type stores, or online.
Brandies - flavored or otherwise - have a bit of a kick - they're fairly strong - but the flavor takes some of the sting out of it - and, like any other liquor - taken in moderation, and with a bit of care and simply sipping - you might have a good experience.
Just thinkin' out loud...
