"eating my first batch of homegrown oysters and sipping home made 80 proof."
not advisable...hard alcohol and shell fish dont mix.

How do you mean?

I've a recipe for vodka oyster Bloody Mary -n- old bay shooters that are yum yum.

[Washashore]

....well at least large quantities of both, at the same time

[dad2five]

Oh, I get it. The second time 'round don't taste as good.

[bellybuster]

there is actually something to it but there's not allot of info on it out there. Something to do with histamines.

[dad2five]

Well, I've not heard the concern before and didn't want to incite controversy but at least this source reports that the concern is 'fiction'.

It's not fiction for people who have a hard time with hard liquor and seafood... It's more of a combined mild allergy thing...

Gotta cast my vote here, I spent about half my working life in the oyster and clam farming business and have eaten tons of both and I may mention that I do tend to drink a little with my oysters, never had a problem, but that's just me.

Some of the best times Ive had have involved a bottle of rum and a huge plate full of Chilli Crab, never had a problem

Beer and clams, and bearded clams, for me...
