What Does Alcoholic Drinks Taste Like? (Links)

Here some more links with the above topic; and I'm not drinker but am legal age to drink and I have sip (not drink) Red Wine. What it taste for me was bitter, it did have other flavor but I was busy with the bitter to care. And I have eaten bitter food which some I enjoy while other I don't if you wonder if I just can't stand bitter food or eaten any bitter food before. Some example of bitter food I have eaten are dark chocolate (can eat it but don't like it) and bitter melon (enjoy it but it's a hit or miss with the bitterness factor).


WARNING:
If you drinking [legal age to drink] or planning to drink [non-drinker but legal age to drink], Please remember the following:

• Legally

Please put these Three Word in your head because it important; and of course "don't drink and drive".

My Advise:

• Practices   

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Destroy the 3 fuel regulators within 3 minutes of the first   

Speed is a very important factor in this objective, that why I stated to practice.   

  

Destroy 2 drones with the VC9

This objective will happen during the above objective. Drone will appear when you open the 2nd and 3rd fuel regulators but not the 1st. The majority of the Drone will appear when you open a 2nd fuel regulators. That why I mention "practice" because you be doing two objectives under a short period of time.  
   

Destroy all 7 Stingers in the insertion

This will happen at the start of the mission.

Pointer/Advise: Aim at the fuel tank under the Stinger, which will only be visible when it not facing you.   

Destroy all 7 propaganda speakers

What type of Wine Aged well? (Links)

Let get this stated first, I'm no wine expert nor a drinker (of any alcohol drink) unless I have to on those time. My opinion is bases on other expert opinion and come to my own conclusion base on my own gathered information from them. You can come to your own conclusion base on the link below.

• From what I know, an "aged" wine (usually in an oak barrel) for "X" amount of time usually months to years that are store under the best condition by wine maker before being sold to the consumers.
• A wine that you (the consumer) is going to "aged" is wine that is unopened wine that be put in some storage until the later consume. The aged wine will change in flavor (taste) depend on the wine and other factors; not all wine can "aged". 

Here some conclusion (my opinion) base on wine drinker opinions:  

• $20.00 or less is consider cheap wine.
• Wine that aged well within 1 thru 15 or so years , opinions may vary.
• Wine that aged well  longer then 10 plus years, opinions are near similar.

Question: What other alcoholic beverage will last a while (as in years), as in unopened and store?
Answer: Distilled beverage (spirit)

According to the my reading and the following the links, "spirit" even in the worse storage conditions will not change (flavor or go bad) unless you do something like put it in the sun [put any alcoholic beverage in the sun for long period of time regardless of what it is, is bad for it].

(My) Travel time by different transport in single trip

This is randomness out of boredom, but if I’m going to write it then it at least be accurate. This is my longest travel time in different transport in single trip from one places to another whether I driving it or not does not matter. Does not count if you stop over and rest in some hotel or motel over night. Will count for re-fueling, resting (such as bathroom break or rest stop), or crossing the border which require to get out of the transport and present all necessary documents to the border people. Transfer into a different transport or similar transport will not count. Whether you in a traffic, or afloat at sea; these still count because you in that transport, while not moving much.

• Vehicle (car and/or truck): ~5 Hours or more
• Bus: ~3 Hour
• Rail (train, subway, and/or any rail transports): ~4 Hour
• Aircraft: ~15 Hour
• Sea Craft: ~1 Hour, ~2 Hour (don't remember)
