In respect to salt making beverages smoother I was having brunch with
some friends last sunday and we all started off with a bloody mary.
It seems that the bloody mary was too spicy for one of the party and
she proceeded to shake some salt(2 shakes) into the bloody mary.Upon
questioning her she reported that it reduced the spiciness(sp) of the
drink. 
  When I was in the midwest(Springfield Ill) I saw numerous people
putting salt in their beer . I vowed to kill anyone trying this sacrilage
with my beer . However I never did find out what the salt did to the taste
of the beer , it foamed up all over the place and quickly dissappeared.
  Anyone know of other drinks that salt is used ,MAIL please,I'll post the
summary in about a month.
