I'll Drink to That!

Yesterday while in his office P felt the urge to have a nice big glass of cold water.
So he reached into his fridge and pulled out this bottle-



Looks good doesn't it? He thought so too, and took a big gulp.

"Sspppppppppptttttttttt!" right into his coffee mug.

Who would have left a water bottle full of Albanian Raki (ie Ouzo) in his fridge without mentioning it to him?????

I've never done a thing like that, but I've gone close to doing so a lot of times. Now everytime I get back to Tirana my grandma' warns me that that particular bottle in the fridge isn't full of water, but raki.
Now I think I've learned the lesson, but still everytime I grab a bottle of water don't forget to smell it quickly before drinking.

That has happened to many before and will happen to many more. I think Albanians just like to go for water and get raki instead. It's a very nice surprise especially when at the office.

BTW, raki and ouzo are the same in Turkey, but not in Albania. The Albanian raki tastes like Grappa in Italy, while the Turkish raki tastes like Greek ouzo.
