Foxhack: I'm in Mexico. One quarter of my blood is hot sauce. :P
Arizona here. I know exactly where you're coming from. ;)
Yeah, Tabasco is tinted vinegar, Sriracha is an asian-style spice that isn't the least bit spicy. Tasty, though. I tend to order random things that have habanero, ghost pepper, or something spicier in them. Never really keep track.
I don't use sauces all that much, but I like to cook with lots of habaneros and pure cap. In everything. I still have some sense of taste these days, surprisingly, but chili made any less spicy than I prepare it just tastes like seasoned meat. XD
