No one in the Caribean would waste rum like that... and even is some
imbecile tourist tried it they would be so drunk after one coconut full
they wouldn't be able to walk (they would need about a cup of rum to
top off each coconut), not to mention ruining their entire vacation
desparate to find toilets, coconut water is a great laxative... no one
there drinks it except for medicinal purposes, typically it's
discarded, a few natives use it to make wine but tshat wine is
tasteless... the best is made from cashew fruit. You either made that
up too or if they're your friends they're smarmy liars also. And no
one drills holes in coconuts in the Caribbean, it's very difficult to
make small holes with a machette. I've been going to the Caribbean
regularly for most of my life, I own three gorgeous waterfront homes
there, two in Belize City, one in Corozal. Make up some more
fercocktah stories why doncha, Pinnochio Dave.
