Default Flying a sailplane is like...

Seen on a trailer:

Flying an airplane is like drinking champagne

Flying an ultralight is like drinking moonshine with a kick

So... what do you think flying a sailplane is like drinking?

It's like drinking warm water out of a plastic bag with a tube which has
a plastic smell.

Or anything that only gives you more thirst, while satisfying you completly
each time.

Champagne gives me hives.

....and then you go blind.

Sorry, just don't like this particular simile. I don't find it
intoxicating-more the opposite. Addictive yes, intoxicating? No.

...drinking the finest, purest chilled water
from a lush mountain spring on the highest peaks of
Tibet. This after taking it from the spring by climbing
the mountain and meditating with those monks.

Hmmm...maybe it ain't poetry, but
at least I tried. I'm not
as eloquent as that dancing on
clouds guy...

.... communion wine? Not intoxicating but inspiring.

Try drinking enough communion wine. Hangover will be just great.
Might inspire you a glorious headache.
