Note the "surprisingly delicious" remark. This would imply that this was the first time I'd ever tasted one. As far as screaming [insert reference to homosexual male here], it was out of my sister's party pack. I don't normally drink smirnoff, but if it's all I've got available and I want a beer...you're damn right I'm going to drink it.
