I like a raw oyster with a lot of horseradish myself. Wash it down with an Iron City, and don't hang out with me in the morning.

Dont get much better than a fresh shucked raw oyster slidin down but I prefer an ice cold Bud vs dat Iron City!! Could be a factor contributing to your "morning after" event!!
