Why I Cannot Drink Irish Cream

It is shelf stable cream. In my mental catalog, nothing is more perishable than cream. (Fun fact: I once had a pint of cream in my refrigerator for 6 weeks. It didn't go bad or sour but it did dry out. You had to chip off dried cream to get to the liquid stuff. Delicious. But not relevant to my mental model)

Irish cream reminds me how poisonous alcohol really is. It is the poison equivalent of something that can make red apples blue.

You wouldn't eat a blue apple and I won't drink Irish cream.
