For the longest time I’ve searched for a distinguishing feature, I guess you could call it, for myself. I’m a pretty basic guy. Actually, I’m so boring it’s rather pathetic. I don’t drink, smoke, gamble, or golf. I don’t even watch sports unless one of my kids is involved. Shit, even the annual ski trip has become … compromised. Ugh! Insert heavy sigh.
So, to spice it up a bit I wanted something cool – just for me. Ya’ know, like that dude … any cool dude that has a signature drink or line or move – think James Bond with the whole Vodka Martini – shaken not stirred scenario*. I realize I will never be that cool or even close. However, I rarely think about it any more. Like I’ve said before, there are days when my primary goal is to get through the day. Thinking about my cool quotient is so far down my ‘to do’ list, it-will-never-happen!
But all of that is all behind me now. Without realizing it, I have found my poison. Unfortunately, I drink alone. Fortunately, that’s not a bad thing and it’s not poison. So, it’s all good.
Apple Cider Vinegar with THE MOTHER – is the mud in my eye.
Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made by the fermentation of apple cider. During the fermentation process, sugar in the apple cider is broken down by bacteria and yeast into alcohol and then into vinegar. Like other types of vinegar, apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid and it also contains some lactic, citric and malic acids.
When our bodies are operating at the correct pH level, disease and cancer are less likely to be present. The calcium in our diet is utilized to counteract the acidity of the vinegar. Since calcium is alkaline, it creates an abundance of alkalinity in the bloodstream in response to the acidity of the vinegar.
This is some good shit, man. From weight loss and acne to diabetes control and cardiovascular benefits, the list is diverse and inclusive. Better yet, I haven’t had a sore throat since I started my ‘thang‘. Though, it is acidic. Vinegar that contains the Mother can cause indigestion, heartburn, and damage tooth enamel. Boo-fuckin’-hoo
Usually 10ml to 15ml is diluted in water and sipped over a period of time. Sippin is for sissies, though. And those that have the time and energy to think that hard about things – primarily women. I take mine like a man, bitch – one shot glassful straight up every day. Grit teeth and inset manly grunt.

There’s a link if you want more information. Not all ACV products have ‘the Mother’, which is a live culture base that is never pasturized. Therefore, it can ‘yield’ more. I guess ‘the Mother’ really is an appropriate name, eh?
