  Anthony Bourdain went to Sao Paolo, Brazil and enjoyed this cocktail made with crushed lime, sugar, and some sugar cane alcohol.  Does anyone know what that sugar cane alcohol is?

  The cocktail is caipirinha...elsewhere, rum is used in place of cachaca.

  Found it! 

  Cachacas (Ka-Sha-Sah) and Caipirinha (Kie-Pur-Reen-Yah)

  I think tomorrow, after work, I shall go and see if the alcohol shops here sell Cachacas! 

  Hmm...actually I'm wondering if I should stroll out right now to check it out...

  Have you drunk it before, KB?  Is Cachaca strong?  Is the alcohol content high?

  The Cliff Notes version: the US does not have an official language at the federal level, but many states have enacted "official language" laws into their book.

    Biangz... he belongs to the Psych ward!  Don't mind him, Ferret.  Just think of it as him being a patient of IMH who had been discharged recently and has decided not to take his meds.  Feel sorry for him instead of feeling angry.

  I haven't tried cachaca itself. Caipirinha however, is very refreshing.

  Sadly, I meet these types of idiots on a daily basis.  Ever since I became a Nurse, I find myself disliking people more and more because I see so much horrible behaviour.

  I think I've read a Roald Dahl story where the doctor says he files some of his needles until they're as blunt as straws, and reserves them for the regular patients he dislikes.
