So what drink did you ring in the new year with?

[Locut0s]

Not quit here yet on the west coast but we'll be clinking classes with some Freixenet. A cheap sparkling wine.

Happy new year!

[Kali]

1. same

figured if we couldn't finish the bottle it wouldn;t be a great loss, as it was just two of us and he already had a fair amount of beer, I had 2 beers and half a bottle of Riesling now I will finish the Freixenet.

I have a bottle Chateau Ste. Michelle from the Columbia Valley for breakfast.

[fizzgig]

2. sprite

Had a beer with dinner but didn't feel like anything more than that.

Happy new year

[pinboy3niner]

3. Coffee

But I spiked it with a dash of cinnamon because that's the kind of wild and crazy guy I am.

[struggle4progress]

16. Coffee here too

[Packerowner740]

4. Diet coke

[Locut0s]

6. I'm actually seriously addicted to that stuff :p nt.

[Packerowner740]

24. I agree with you there

I usually have three or four a day. I've weaned myself Dow to just two but that's about it. I've been in the hospital a few times and go off of it completely but end up starting back up even though it tastes aweful when I start again. I realy don't like the taste of water. I've been a type one diabetic for about 30 years and before I was diagnosed I was drinking four 32oz cups of water every night after going to bed so I really don't like water.

5. Barefoot Bubbly

a California sparkling wine that was a tad too dry for me - but I drank it anyway.

[rocktivity]

7. Tott's Extra Dry

A steal at $9 a bottle, because you only need one bottle, AND it doesn't hang you over.

There's only one champagne I enjoy more, and it cost three times what Tott's does.

8. Mike's Hard Pink Lemonade.

[LadyHawkAZ]

9. Water

I looked at the level in the vodka bottle around 10:30 and decided I'd better stop.

[OriginalGeek]

10. In an effort to stretch my Laphroaig a little bit further

I supplemented my scotch with a couple shots of Buffalo Trace bourbon (not mixed, of course - just wanted the buzz to go a little longer and I have a lot more of that than the scotch...)

[sweetapogee]

17. I like your thinking

Buffalo Trace is one of my everyday pours. I stopped on the way home from work to pick up some bubbly for the New Year (Korbel) and out of nowhere, a 750 of Laphroaig 10 year fell into my cart. Landed right next to a bottle of Booker's. Thankfully, both bottles survived unhurt but I thought it best that I bring them home for observation. They both seem well this AM. One of the reasons I got the Laphroaig is to vat with other brews (such as a gifted bottle of Johnnie Walker Red) that I struggle to enjoy neat but don't want to toss.

Anyway, Korbel for the New Year and Highland Park 12 for the warm-up. I really enjoyed the HP 12, this being the first I've tasted it. Mainly a bourbon fan, BT and Four Roses SB being my favorites.

[OriginalGeek]

21. Liquor stores are notorious for their wobbly shelves

and having random bottles fall right into our carts. At least, every one I've ever been in has been like that.

It's a remarkable coincidence that the bottles that fall just happen to be the bottles I want!

It was very humanitarian of you to take them home for observation. Can't be too careful!


This was my first bottle of Buffalo Trace. There will be more.

[sweetapogee]

35. Yes

Buffalo Trace is a great bourbon and a good value. One of my old roomates from college lives in Frankfort KY. A while back I visited him and took a tour of BT. Totally cool. Enjoy you BT!

I got to tell you though, here in PA, Evan Williams Black Label sells for abour $12.00/750 mL. As a person who consumes 4 Roses SB and $60.00 + single malts, this $12.00 bottle isn't bad, I drink it neat all the time.

14. I'd forgotten that name - Freixenet

Used to to drink that in abundance during holidays in Spain 20 odd years ago.

A current UK favorite is the Italian equivalent - Prosecco. Did a bottle of the last night with my daughter.

Happy New Year !

Usually it's a bottle of sparkling wine at home, and in bed by 10 for us...
