So I don't drink nothing 'tall. And even if I goes outside of my country I reckon that, seeing as I'm a good American citizen, I gotta hold by my country's laws whether I'm in my country or outside of it. So, ladies, you can take it straight from me that even if I goes to Yurrup I don't never let a drop of fermented licker pass my lips.
