Sylvia Plath Quote
Ordering drinks always floored me. I didn't know whisky from gin andnever managed to get anything I really liked the taste of. Buddy Willard andthe other college boys I knew were usually too poor to buy hard liquor orthey scorned drinking altogether. It's amazing how many college boys don'tdrink or smoke. I seemed to know them all. The farthest Buddy Willard everwent was buying us a bottle of Dubonnet, which he only did because he wastrying to prove he could be aesthetic in spite of being a medical student.I'll have a vodka, I said.The man looked at me more closely. With anything?Just plain, I said. I always have it plain.I thought I might make a fool of myself by saying I'd have it with iceor gin or anything. I'd seen a vodka ad once, just a glass full of vodkastanding in the middle of a snowdrift in a blue light, and the vodka lookedclear and pure as water, so I thought having vodka plain must be all right.My dream was someday ordering a drink and finding out it tasted wonderful.
