Big fan of freshly squeezed grapefruit. Slightly less so of the fruit in it's original form.
Fun fact: we elderly men are often on cholesterol-reducing statin drugs, which usually requires one to avoid grapefruit.
Grapefruit is evil. Also avoid it if you are on thyroid medication.
Applies to anxiety meds as well
I would like expensive whiskey.

I should likely be on both, but I choose to not see a GP, and self medicate (now legal in Florida and many other states).

I waffle between feeling guilty about scheming the system by how easy it is to get a card, and feeling like it should be legal anyway, and I have nothing to feel guilty about.

I rely on juicy/hazy IPAs to get my grapefruit flavor.

My doctor told me to avoid all grapefruit flavors. But who knows. Ymmv

Also, my prescription limits are really high, in case you're interested the next time you're in town.

No “actual“ grapefruit in these beers. Just the flavor imparted by hops.

Make sure to read the labels, some rely on hops to impart citrus flavor, some use actual grapefruit.

That's interesting, never heard that. Whatever they are doing, they make amazing beers (but if they aren't disclosing ingredients, that's dangerous and irresponsible).

I believe the rumor was a boubon barrel aged stout that they just added bourbon to. It was a while back.

Should feel ZERO guilt, my man.

Stuff should be legal and so should MDMA.

Yeah, that guilt didn't last long at all.

My covid planting bounty is coming. 3-4 figs that I can see and based on flowers enough muscadines in yr 5 to make wine. The strawberries creep but don't make berries. The pawpaws are barely growing much less fruit. Just planted the crabapple tree so it's years away. Pomegranate bush(?) made a flower last year but otherwise nothing. No way it could even hold a crabapple. I wonder if it's too late in life to plant pecans.

Don't pecan trees take 20+ years to start dropping their nuts?
Totally Kafkaesque
