Hi all,
 
A student asked me about this. I have no idea. The names have been changed to 
protect the guilty
 
Dear Dr. Melluci, (one of the 3 most popular misspellings of my exotic last 
name).

My name is Joe Smith  from your 12:45 Psych 1 class at SMC.  Last
class we were learning about conditioning and i came up to you at the
end of class and had a question about the orange juice and alcohol. I
used to drink vodka and chase it with orange juice for a while. Its
been a few months since i stopped drinking but every time i sip orange
juice, i actually TASTE vodka and makes me feel a lil sick. I just
wanted to know if this would be conditioning or anything like it. :)

Thank you very much,
Joe Smith
 
Thanks for any help you can give to me.
