Lifetime

I spent a week in Jamaica and must have drank about a million of them

College spring break so..... I remember Mr. Positive. Asked him why he had that name and he said his ganja gave you positive vibrations. He took us up in the mountains above Negril and showed us his pot fields and his cousin had a "bar" right down the street. Small cooler with some very cold Red Stripes. So me and my buddy sat with about 10 locals and drank till we were out of money. My buddy on the way up got nervous and said what if they rob us.... my reply, not like I have much on me anyway so who cares? Not sure I would do that anymore because I was obviously young and stupid but it sure is just a great memory. ** Edited by turkeywinghokie at 2/23/2023, 3:19:13 PM

AirborneHokie96 • 02/23/23 02:06 PM ET
Who did you throw a dart at to get banned?**
BackInTheBurg • 02/23/23 02:23 PM ET
I didn't know it was possible to get banned from Ton 80

RoswellGAHokie • 02/23/23 03:49 PM ET
We only had 3 or 4 days there and had the then 5-6 year old with us.
reestuart • 02/23/23 03:57 PM ET
Solid go-to beers right there, IMO. Not necessarily the best I've had
reestuart • 02/23/23 01:50 PM ET
Good point about what's available.
HokieR • 02/23/23 01:59 PM ET
Yep. I find myself buying the same stuff over and over at home.
reestuart • 02/23/23 02:49 PM ET
