Gin sucks

I don't really get how people can drink this gin stuff. I bought some gin to go with my tonic, you know, try something different instead of vodka. But it smells so damned bad! It smells like some sort of topical ointment you're supposed to rub on a rash. It ruined my tonic, and my tonic was diet tonic. It has no calories. It's hard to ruin fizzy water.

And I tried really hard to buy vermouth so I could make this drink that's supposed to have vermouth in it. But I couldn't find vermouth, and neither could the store guy I asked. He wanted me to ask the counter girl, but I didn't have enough credits on my Manhood Card to be able to ask TWO people for directions. So I have no vermouth. I have this applejack cider stuff, which tastes... well, better than gin, I guess, but not really useable unless I had this vermouth stuff (whatever that is) so that I could mix them. So it's sort of mocking me. Right now I'm drinking a nothing and tonic. Sad state of affairs I must tell you.
