Last night, my friend Hana and I went to a rock show. I ordered a shot of Bailey’s with milk, but the bar didn’t have milk. So the bartender gave me this drink pictured above, which is Kahlua, Bailey’s, and whipped cream.

I asked him how many shots it had. He said one and a half, but the drink looked huge and it definitely did not look like one and a half shots. I thought he probably meant one and a half of each.

When it comes to me, alcohol is not a recreational drug. This is because I have chronic gastritis, so when I drink it, I either feel nothing or get sick. There’s no in between. I can’t have more than one drink without getting sick. So my rule is, when I’m trying to decide between kratom and alcohol, I say, “if you’re looking for effects, take the kratom. If you just want a yummy sugary drink with no recreational value, drink alcohol.” For me, drinking alcohol is like drinking lemonade.

The drink I ordered tasted very good. I drank like 2/3 of it and then stopped. It was around 9:45 pm. My stomach was feeling off.

Most people take it directly or mix with a drink to soften the taste—always measure and don’t rush.
