Southern Comfort is a 100 proof _LIQUEUR_, sure it made ya sick... yer not
supposed to guzzle the entire bottle at one sitting. Idiot.

liqueur [lih-KUHR, lih-KYOOR]
A sweet alcoholic beverage made from an INFUSION of flavoring ingredients (such
as seeds, fruits, herbs, flowers, nuts or spices) and a spirit (such as BRANDY,
RUM or WHISKEY). Essential oils and EXTRACTS are used to flavor many of today's
liqueurs. Artificial flavorings make a lackluster contribution to the less
expensive brands. Most commercial liqueurs are made with closely guarded secret
formulas. Also called cordials and ratafias , liqueurs are usually high in
alcohol and range from 49 PROOF for CHERRY HEERING to 110 proof for green
CHARTREUSE. The crème liqueurs (such as CRÈME DE MENTHE) are distinguished by
being sweeter and more syrupy. Liqueurs were originally used (and some still
are) as a digestive. They are now usually served after dinner but also play an
important role in many cocktails. Liqueurs can also be used in cooking,
particularly for desserts. See also ABSINTHE; ADVOCAAT; AMARETTO; ANESONE;
