I can't even eat olives anymore after a run in with dirty martinis.
It was back in 2003 or 2004 when I was leaving 29 Palms to go to Iwakuni. At my going away party I consumed quite a few of these "dirty" martinis.
I obviously went way overboard with the consumption of alcohol and from what I remember I somehow ended up crashing at a friends house. He put me in his daughters room (partial custody, wasn't in town at the time). Sometime during the night I threw up all over her stuffed animals and all over their bathroom.
I was way out of line and still feel bad about it to this day. Since then I don't drink much anymore and when I do, that serves as a vivid reminder of the need for moderation in all things.
As a side note, I am pretty sure karma bit me in the ass for that outburst. When we left for Iwakuni, I asked that same friend to cat sit while we got settled in Japan. My cat got outside and eaten by a coyote... I can't really be mad at him after what I did though...

Dirty martini
Based on the notion that a cocktail with a fruit garnish can be improved with a bit of the juice of the garnish fruit, a "dirty" martini uses olive brine in place of, or alongside, vermouth. It is also generally garnished with three olives, which emphasize the extra olive essence. Additionally, the term "dusty" martini is a dirty martini that has only a fraction of the usual olive brine.
