I guess I could draw from two kinds of experiences. The first is of the sort that whenever I tried somebody's homemade schnapps, it was like shoving a ventilator down my throat. It was a very difficult experience to go through, but my throat was clear and clean afterwards. Of course, I'm giving you the benefit of doubt and can only say that all the slivovica I've known so far (mostly the stuff my dad brought home from a holiday in Croatia) was very nice to drink.

Slivovica is generally easier to drink than rakia, as it is milder, although both contain about 40%-42% alcohol. We are making grape rakia, which is a bit cruel to virgin throats but people who've tried it don't complain. I personally can't stand it, I only drink beer.

Ever tried mead?
Yes, I'm trying to be very gentleman-like here as well.

Something weird happened earlier. I'd just finished watching a film, and the TV flicked onto Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The contestant chose to phone a friend, and for some reason I said that the friend's name would be Audrey ..... and it was. I think I may actually be the Clairvoyant. The fact that I didn't know the answer to the question, I'm treating as irrelevant. 
You should. It's the best way to get drunk. And it has been since 3000 BC!
Yes, we do. But it's always nice to be reminded of that.

Doesn't it give too strong a headache? You know, being sweet and all that? Or it's not that sweet?
Who?
It's quite sweet. It does give a strong hangover. In fact, the most intense hangover I've ever had was from mead.

Well, the answer's fashion. But that's not the point of my story! More about my selective psychic ability - like a useless superhero power, being able to predict the name of someone on the phone.
Or...possibly, you have the ability to influence the outcome? Maybe it was your superpower that made it Audry...

I would certainly try it if I had the chance. But I have had my share of agonizing hangovers, which is why I've switched to beer only.
