If you get hungry while drunk, be sure to carefully identify what you're about to consume.

Dad always had a sweet tooth and was rummaging through the kitchen for something to satisfy it. He found a large jar containing small lavender colored spheres. He thought they were candy or cake decorations and gobbled them down before we could tell him it was African Violet fertilizer.

Another time he took a large bite of fresh ginger root - actually chewed and swallowed it. I don't know what he mistook it for - a chicken gizzard maybe. It caused simultaneous respiratory and gastrointestinal distress.

I certainly wouldn't recommend this kind of excess in drinking or eating. He didn't live to a ripe old age. But he was a lot of fun while he was here.
