I think his name was Mike, but that was 20 years ago.

7. vodka...
I can't drink gin because it reminds me of a Christmas tree. I don't know if you could call what I prefer my martinis to be actually martinis...I like ice cold vodka in a martini glass, nothing else is needed

18. Well, gin is my first choice, but an ice cold vodka martini on a hot day isn't bad.
In fact, it's quite good.

21. Gin
I had a friend get kicked out of a martini bar for asking for a vodka martini. The owner was a little nuts.
