I can vaguely recall a night of drinking planter's punch in San Juan Puerto Rico when I was in the navy. It is made with 151 rum among other things. We had a radioman from the back country of Arkansas who bragged that he had been drinking moonshine since he was 15 and could handle anything. We had the bartender make him a Planter's punch which was about three quarters 151 run. He turned up the glass and chugged it down. To his credit, he managed to walk out of the bar, but he did pass out on the way back to our ship. We all tend to do dumb things in our youth.
"A day spent in the fields and woods, or on the water should not count as a day off our allotted number upon this earth."
