Sore wings and vodka

I have always had a problem with vodka. When I drink it, I get sore wings - they kind of ache and make me feel uncomfortable. My housemate, The Pond, disputes this. I fear she might be right, which I find hard to admit. I have always liked blue cocktails, especially when they have little umbrellas. Generally, blue cocktails contain vodka. I have, mostly always, got sore wings after drinking blue cocktails. Other cocktails have left my wings feeling light and free and, well, non-achey. Other cocktails often contain vodka too. So, The Pond, in all her wisdom has deduced from this that it is NOT vodka, but instead the blue stuff. I think she may be right. So, I fear I may have missed out on, oh, ten years of vodka-drinking, purely due to misinformation given to me, by... me! Does anyone else suffer from sore wings when drinking blue cocktails, or am I some kind of human anomoly?

Darling Shiny, as a fellow cocktail fan, my number one rule has always been "no blue drinks". It seems now that I am vindicated. How about a nice frozen Margarita?

Dear Shiny.. I too enjoy cocktails (I stay away from the blue ones though) and vodka has become a staple for me of late, however, this 'sore wings' phenomenon that you speak of has not seemed to be a problem thus far ~ I think The Pond may be right in her deduction!

Dear Anonymice (sorry!),
Sniff, I love the blue...
And do not like admitting rightness to The Pond!

I am generally offended by blue cocktails but not by vodka. I think The Pond is right but you you should not tell her so.

Leah, I have avoided telling her until, over a strawberry daquiri, I had to spill the beans and admit to her rightness. Hmph.
