It led to a lifetime off it, actually. I only got into whisky about 3 years ago!
And I remember drinking it as a 4 year old to this day - I had been dragged out of bed at 5.30 by a girl (the 4 y/o daughter of a couple who had stayed over that evening). She was thirsty and we went downstairs. A few bottles were out on the dining room table, and I had gone for the dark bottle. I still remember the fumes as I tipped it down by throat.
Helen, for that was her name, shortly decided to knock on my parents bedroom door. When they heard I had "drunk something", they bolted out of bed and found me in a pile of vomit on the carpet at the bottom of the stairs. I was whisked off to hospital and didn't wake up for 3 days. Apparently, my sweat still stank of whisky months later - most noticeably at my first school sportsday.

Not funny really but that is one hell of an anecdote. BRILLIANT! Your folks must have felt guilty leaving out that bottle.
They did, and some of the authorities were particularly unamused at the fact that drink had been left out.

A company which I partly own, has been accused by conspiracy theorists, of having something to do with the bomb on the Tavistock Square bus, on 7/7.
Tonic water! Then moved onto water from the TAP (apparently).

That reminds me of a story I heard once about someone who had to "fold it in". Can't remember the rest of the story though...
