  • US Army, winter 1996. Just got onto base, pretty fresh from BASIC. I open my barracks door and McBride (RIP brother) says “Here, drink this!” with his devlish grin, blocking my entry and holding a shot glass of some clear liquid. 18-year-old private me swigged it down and nearly choked on the shot.

    “WTF is this?”, I asked, gasping and choking.

    “Everclear!” he said joyfully, moving away from the door while I gagged, challenge completed.

    I passed his…test?.. and I was in the friend group.
