1. I need some seriously stiff whiskey to handle GD sometimes.

[hunter]

2. Does beer make my posts better or worse?

Frankly, I can't decide, drunk or sober.

[A HERETIC I AM]

3. Hang on......

Ummmmm...::::erp:::: better

[rurallib]

4. I am sure my friends make up for my lack of indulgence

So please have one for old rurallib.

[etherealtruth]

5. You didn't have a choice for water, coffee, and tea

*I have a caffeine addiction problem

[A HERETIC I AM]

10. I gave ya water....

But I did leave out coffee and tea, I'll give ya that.

Sorry. I'll see about an edit.

[etherealtruth]

59. Coffee: "cuz" I want to be awake all the time

works for me

[Autumn]

6. I keep my whiskey, shot glass and bottle of water on my kitchen island.

No liquids around my lap top, I fried one when I knocked over a cup of coffee. I do tend to walk a lot sometimes.

[onehandle]

7. Well, I first read it over breakfast in the morning.

What's a good wine to go with my Cap'n Crunch?

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. Chateau Haute' Brion, 1964.

Kicks ass with Crunch Berries.

[Half-Century Man]

44. Anything with a fruity aftertaste.

Skip the Merlots though, to heavy.

[winter is coming]

8. Other: I don't drink while posting, but wonder how many others do.

And I'd like my moose back.

[A HERETIC I AM]

13. LOL...sorry....

Can't. It's nipple nectar season, you know.

I'll have 'er back to ya in a day or two.

Or sooner, depending on how long this thread stays on the front page. Might be in fifteen minutes!

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. It's a necessity,

Corporate "news" on the TV machine; and comment sections on the internets. Wine, and/or vodka martinis are mandatory.



Not just for me, either:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. Chianti goes well with DU

[RebelOne]

69. No, any white wine is even better. n/t

[Callmecrazy]

14. I prefer a doobie...

I'm not a big drinker.
And when I'm stoned I'm a fucking genius.

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. So I take it you're not high? n/t

(JK)

[Callmecrazy]

22. I was earlier... nt

[A HERETIC I AM]

28. It's only 10:30 in the East. n/t

[Callmecrazy]

36. Yep. Almost sleepy time.

Gotta be up at 5:00 am in the morning for work. Pot makes me a little groggy if smoke right before bed.
But a wee nip of Crown Royal puts me right out.

[fletchthedubs]

68. Sour kush and a glass of OJ

Breakfast of champions.

[petronius]

16. Dammit, I lied - the bottle's empty

But I will reclaim my honor by fetching another...

[NuclearDem]

17. Pahdon me while I fly my aero-plane

Of course it's a got a hole in it, it wouldn't be a oop otherwise would it?

[A HERETIC I AM]

18. HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! LMAO!

I am THRILLED someone got that reference!

Goodonya!

[Ohio Joe]

19. Weed... It's the only way to handle DU sometimes

I'm very often stoned out of my gourd... I am right now. Two 'bowls' through my vaporizer of some really nice Strawberry Cough.

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. I hate you.

Fucking CDL. Ruins everything.

[Ohio Joe]

23. heh... I got my red card when I came to Colorado...

Going to the store to buy weed is freakin awesome

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. Look.....

I can only hate you so much.






Ok.....it's over. Now it's envy.

Perhaps it's time for a career change.

[Ohio Joe]

34. Just to rub it in a little more :)

It's really cheap as well. I can get an ounce of top shelf stuff around $240-$260... Shit like this will lay you out with just a few hits. Using the vaporizer, I easily get by with what they call 'joint mix'... At the end of the day, they dump the shake at the bottom of each jar into a pile and it goes around $70 an ounce... YES, $70 an ounce. Two small 'bowls' to start (a 'bowl' in my vaporizer is about 1/3 of a regular sized joint) and maybe 1 or 2 more through the night and you are very stoned all night. God really does love Colorado!

[A HERETIC I AM]

39. Ahhh....the good ol' days.....

I came of age in Miami during the late 70's and 80's when a dime bag was two fingers in a Glad flip top sandwich bag and an ounce of Acapulco Gold was $40.

Damn.

I haven't smoked regularly since I started driving over-the-road in 1987.

NINETEEN FUCKING EIGHTY SEVEN! 26 bleedin' years!

Now I have occasionally put on a buzz since then, of course, but I am so out of touch with what's available these days, it isn't funny.

I grew some Panama Red one time that was as red as the chevron on a pack of Marlboros.


Those were the days.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

20. I only go for the purest organic moose nipple nectar. nt

[A HERETIC I AM]

25. LOL>..and that we have! n/t

[PoliticAverse]

26. Should I consult an attorney before answering?... n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

29. Yes.

[bhikkhu]

27. I used to drink wine

...and sometimes cringed in the morning looking at what I had posted the night before. But I haven't been able to drink for some years now, it just makes me feel kind of sickly; getting older, I suppose.

[A HERETIC I AM]

30. You're not getting older....

You just weren't doing it right before.

[Tigress DEM]

31. Open to all of the above.

But generally I don't drink much and I like my mind sharp when I'm posting, so it's more likely to be caffeine close by.

[A HERETIC I AM]

33. Weirdo.

[Tigress DEM]

37. Diversity is a great thing.

Booze is fun, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense for me here.

I'd be such a bad poster if I were on the sauce here.

[A HERETIC I AM]

40. OK, fine.

Buzzkill.

[Tigress DEM]

70. Aw enjoy all you like. It's just me own self I'm not liking if I try to mix politics and 100 proof.

One time I walked home from the Mall of America - In February.... In Minnesota... Land of "OMG it's 20 **king below!"

Because I had 3 white russians and got pissed over some stupid thing my hubby said.

Actually I got as far as the edge of the mall realized I'd have to cross a 4 lane highway in 20 below with a wind chill of (who the **ck KNEW it could get so much colder than zero?!?!?!)

So 2 white russians is my limit now.

[A HERETIC I AM]

71. You know I was just funnin' with ya, right?

I've done something similar, re: arguing with the Significant other and walking home/away whatever, so I understand.

I find it interesting that the results of the poll show better than 50% of the respondents dont imbibe.

Of course, I am not always drinking when I post either! Sometimes I am doing it while driving!...(LOL...J/K)

This thread and poll was just a whim last night, that's all. Something silly.

All the best to you.

[Tigress DEM]

72. Yep

I DO imbibe, I just try to be careful.

Tiny bit of a control freak when it comes to making an idiot of myself. Prefer to do that sober so I know why I'm banging my head against the wall.


It was funny!! I liked it.

Best to you to.....


As the old toast goes, "May you be in Heaven 7 minutes before the Devil even knows you're dead!"

[liberal N proud]

32. Guilty as charged - tonight Joseph Bragh Octoberfest

[Aristus]

35. Me!

[Rowdyboy]

38. Up until a month ago I did constantly....Now, totally for health reasons, I can't anymore....

Someone please drink one for me! Or two

[Uncle Joe]

41. As a side question, I'm wondering how many Presidents had alchoholic beverages

near them while they were Presidenting?

[A HERETIC I AM]

49. Most, I'll bet.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

42. Cheers.

Glen Keith.


You?

[A HERETIC I AM]

48. Me? Choice #1

[Flying Squirrel]

43. Legitimate health reasons?

I once jumped out of a moving vehicle while drunk.. does that count? I no longer drink.

[A HERETIC I AM]

46. Yes, it counts.

[Half-Century Man]

45. Am on disability supporting a family of four

cannot afford alcohol. Have 1 Guinness and 2 MGDs in the fridge, and saving them for the holidays.

[A HERETIC I AM]

47. Somebody needs to go swipe a six-pack

[Half-Century Man]

52. COPD, so running away is problematic

Need to brew my own. My little brother does.

[polly7]

50. Coffee usually,

except for the last couple days because I can't get through these two dates on the calendar without a lil somethin' ......... tomorrow if I'm here, back to the coffee.

[Demeter]

51. Nothing

NO room on this desk for anything.

[frazzled]

53. 54% of DUers post drunk?

(At current count on this poll.) That really explains a lot.

[rrneck]

54. Most likely coffee, but could be wine or beer. Sometimes single malt scotch or tequila in winter. nt

[1-Old-Man]

55. Alcohol poisons the mind

Alcohol is the most dangerous substance on the planet, responsible for more death and misery than even religion. No power on earth could me to drink that manufactured piss or to take anyone who is drinking it seriously.

[name not needed]

57. You must be fun at parties.

[1-Old-Man]

64. Because I refuse to associate with drunks?

What drinkers do not understand - and not a single one of them does - is that even one drink of that poison effects how they think, and how they act, and neither of the effects is for the good. I put up with them for over half a century and then one day I simply decided I would not put myself through the misery of being around drinking people ever again. So your point is moot, its not a matter of being fun or not fun at Parties; if there will be alcohol at some function I simply do not go. Not any more.

[Scootaloo]

56. Does a happily festering sourdough starter count? n/t

[Egalitarian Thug]

58. Would/Could not handle this place without numbing.

Pot when it's available, otherwise bourbon or a nice red wine. When I have to get up in the middle of the damn night to say Good morning to some client on the other side of the world, my mind is pre-numbed so it's coffee, very strong, very sweet, with cream or half and half.

[OnionPatch]

60. Not alcohol.

But I'm usually "medicating" in the evenings when I peruse this site.

[Bluenorthwest]

61. Coffee and cannibis thanks.

No drink for me, thank you much.

[CTyankee]

62. OTHER: coffee in the morning (goes great with morning GD). Water with ice during the day...

I limit liquids at night so I can sleep uninterrupted...

[FSogol]

63. Other: "You know how some people keep their beer in a refrigerator? I keep my beer inside me!"

- John Allison

[cherokeeprogressive]

65. Most Saturday mornings, a yellow My Posts tab terrifies me.

As does an Inbox notification.

Hope that answers your question.

I hope all is well with you My Friend. Egg Nog should be on line soon! PM me an address.

[PowerToThePeople]

66. Coffee if it is morning, water if it is evening. n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

67. I love the fact that "You're a weirdo, Heretic" got one vote.

I'm wondering how many others hovered their mouse over that one before moving on.
