When I was stationed in Korea, a friend boasted about the wonderful egg nog he knew how to make. Since it was around Christmastime, and many of us would be celebrating far from home, I suggested he make some of this stuff.On Christmas Eve he invited several of us to his room to sample the results. It was so rich and strong, that I consumed around 6 ounces, and realized I did not know if I was drunk or if I was just experiencing a sugar high. It was good, but best experienced in small doses.
(Post-script: I don't recall having a hangover, so it must've been all the sugar.)
Do you know how egg nog originated? Here's The Straight Dope.

[Post-edit commentary: Almost every time I edit a post, it screws up the HTML tags. When you go to edit, it (often incorrectly) converts all the HTML to UBB codes. This then causes problems, since the UBB closing tag doesn't seem to work riight unless it's identical to the opening tag with a slash in front of it.]
