Skiing
With the Winter Olympics coming up next month in Italy,
one US downhill races has admitted to being "buzzed" or
"sloshed" during some of his past downhill events.....
Having tended bar in a ski resort for some 6 years, what
else is new.....The only sober people on the slopes are,
for one, the family man with his wife and children on
a vacation.....And, secondly, a female puritan.....I used
to serve everyone else of drinking age......
It appeared to me that most skiers put an "edge" on their
skis with a file and took the "edge" off their nerves with
a beer or booze......Also, some took the "edge" off more
than others......
After the long cold ride up on the ski lift, there is a welcome
break in the "summit lodge" before the downhill run.....
Coffee and cocoa were for the family.....Pumps
