Jon Fossoway Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Not a good time to drink for me. We're having a 80 day drought and high temperatures and alcohol makes me very sensible to hot weather. Tired most of the day. So I'll wait for precious rain and then drink my head off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No one has posted in this thread in 3 days! Y'all are slacking! :whip: Three days is a fairly long dry-spell for this thread, but nothing like the drought of February 2015 when the thread was within three hours of being a whole week without a post.

Alex. Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 And so once again we come to the worst day of the year when loads of people "get into the spirit of things" for St. Patrick's Day, wear Guinness hats, throw up onto the pavement, say things in a shit Irish accent because they've seen Father Ted once, and generally embarrass themselves.

rocksniffer Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 enjoying several white russians this morning in honor of the national day of drinking... No one has posted in this thread in 3 days! Y'all are slacking! :whip: I discovered Regal Apple Crown Royal over the weekend. Oh man. It should be illegal for something that strong to taste so delicious straight. :drool: I was guzzling it like water.i am not a crown lover, but during the superbowl last month i sucked back a pint of Maple Crown...and yes it was deceptively good...too bad next day was exactly as predicted...brown whiskey = enormous hangover dr. recommended clear fluids...so naturally i switched back to vodka immediately :smoking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I remember there was a character in a James Bond novel who talked about how poisonous coloured liquors were, like scotch (iirc, Bond was golfing with Goldfinger in Scotland???) because colour comes from charcoal charred barrels the raw alcohol was aged in. I think I was 9 or 10 when I read that (my older brother had the novel), so that's a long-ago memory to dig up accurately. :D Anyway....stick to vodka, 'sniffer. But there's always gin, and now they make clear whiskeys as well. Last night I finished off a nice, quaffable Cotes du Rhone I had opened for Sunday dinner, called Les Dauphins.

Jacob's Ghost by Jim Beam ftw. :thumbsup: Smooth enough to drink straight, but I like it in Sprite or Sierra Mist (classy, right? :p). It's got a hint of vanilla to it. Really good stuff.

That was totally my fault. It was Mardi Gras and I was busy drinking. Just finished posting midterm grades after being up all night. Got to work at 9 am and not leaving until 10. In front of the class for ten solid hours. I don't have anything to do tomorrow until 12:15 and it's just a teleconference. soooo..........WHY IS IT ST. PATRICK'S DAY????? CAN'T I GET DRUNK IN PEACE TONIGHT?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nox Irradiata Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Had a crappy day at work. Planning to be neck deep in my Apple Crown in about 20 minutes. :drool: And it comes in a green pouch so, you know, 'tis the season and shit! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Valley Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Everyone here is on the bad behavior channel. The baby gone, so I THINK I am allowed to keep alcohol in the house again. Time to stock the bar. :cheers: everyone who survived the day. My service industry pals are as crabby as I am after staying up all night to turn in midterm grades. My best friend was here with an abscessed tooth ranting about Grover Norquist and the Bohemian Grove. We had to join forces to create a wall to protect ourselves from groups of bachelors putting their armpits in her face at the bar and young women putting their armpits in mine. I'm 40, the men aren't crowding my chair, I'm scary. The young ladies think I'm invisible or harmless. All parties are RUDE not to say, "Excuse me."

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I didn't mean to get drunk tonight, but I did anyway. Bus wouldn't come even though it was "due" so I'm annoyed about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm not drunk, but the cat is. She's being really belligerent right now, but we're having a heavy metal night together, so it's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fossoway Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It has been a week since I last drank alcohol and I feel fine, relaxed, alert, healthy and good looking. This must end tonight. To the death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhangel Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 The vodka at the back of my fridge had been there for too long. It needed to be done. Possibly not half an hour before I had to go meet someone for coffee on a Sunday afternoon, though. That may have been an error. I was dancing to Hozier, I blame his deceptively beautiful songs about terrible things. Every single one of Hozier's songs are about death, have you noticed that? Every single one, even the ones that initially seem like they're not. Think about the lyrics for a minute (e.g. 'she looks like sleep to the freezing') and you're like, holy crap, this song is also about death! Damn you Hozier. ETA: Okay, so I may have been a wee bit nervous about this coffee meeting also. Liquid courage is a bad habit... but it seems to be working. Not at all nervous any more!
