The alcohol isn’t as nice as we’d hoped either. Even when it’s stored in the shade, the wine isn’t room temperature; rather, it’s hot, hot wine. Despite how Europeans drink it, room-temperature beer is gross (when the room is a humid bunker in the tropics). All we want is something cold, like bathing in ice cream. The whiskey at least does the trick with the greatest efficiency.The ants discover our supplies within a few days, and by the second week, I stop picking them out of our rice bags and peanut butter and jelly jars. We just consider the unfortunate arthropods protein.
