The Imbiber's 100 meme

in

I'm not entirely sure what comes from completing this exercise, but I'll be damned if I let a decent listmeme pass me by. Over at Art of Drink, Darcy has come up with a list of 100 things that competitive connoisseurs of liquids should try before they die. If I end doing shots of Green Chartreuse at any point before then, it'll be way too soon.

Instructions
