We recently lost a very dear friend, who once upon a time bartended at our favorite pub. He had a shot called a 'Dougzilla' that might well have been the foulest concoction I've ever had - Wild Turkey, well tequila, and a liberal helping of Tabasco. It was truly awful. I can't rightly remember why or how I ever had more than one, I must have been deserving of punishment for some reason.

I had the pleasure of seeing some of his currently active fraternity brothers celebrating a new 21st birthday with this shot this past weekend - it did my heart good seeing them carry on the tradition. Kid took off his hat but managed not to spew into it, I was quite proud.
