Question 6# Worst tasting alcohol youve ever had the misfortune to drink.




1# Im currently a student at the University of Tennessee

2# Im currently working on a double major in Nuclear Engineering and Russian with my focus being on NE

3# By far the worst job ive had was a manual labor job in Panama City, Florida Maintaining the grounds of a home owners association during the summer.

4# The best job ive ever had was working at the family winery making sure that all the little odds and ends of running a commercial enterprise were complete ( Mowing, Bottling, party setup,...ect you say it ive done it.)

5# Im a native English speaker, I speak a little bit of Spanish (enough to cover the basics but not enough to have a real conversation) And im currently learning Russian at an extremely aggressive pace in College.

6# Sorry guys, the worst tasting alcohol that ive ever attempted to ingest would have to be some of my sugar alcohol i made during my toddling days of wine making. ( I still drank it too) ^_^
 
1# Embedded software engineer at Lexmark International (Printer maker).
2# I have undergraduate degrees (BS) in Computer Science and Physics (double major finished 1999).

5# Besides english, I can also get by in spanish, having had 4 semesters of it in college. I also know a bit of German and Japanese.
6# I had hot sake with a blowfish tail in it, and that was definitely the worst alcohol I've had. I also can't even think of Bushmills Black Bush without vomiting a little, even though it's a fine drink (bad experience in college).
