After several weeks abroad I have butone question. WHY was there anything left in the flask?

All kidding aside, having lived abroad (europe) for a year, there are some truely wonderful liquors that we never see here available. I wish I could find some of them today. Some of the worse, and in many ways the best were the many "local traditions" (read moonshine in the states) that survive. I had quite a few different family brandys in Belguim that I'm pretty sure would burst into flames on a moderatly warm day if not cellered!
