Wednesday night drinking thread
Yeah, I know it's not the weekend. What's it to you? I got the next two fuckin' days off and this might as well be Saturday night to me because it's going to be nothing but work work work until Christmas. So all you self righteous fuckers out there who are...

Whoops. Never mind all that. This is supposed to be a happy thread. My shrink told me that I shouldn't be drinking at all, but I figured that I would compromise with him and switch to lite beer. And that's exactly what I did tonight. I started off with Icehouse and switched to Miller Lite.

What's in your glass?

2. Water.
I gotta work in the morning. Plus, my stomach hurts and I have suspended such libations until the cause is found.
Rats!

8. Rawson's Retreat 2005. An Australian Shiraz/Cabernet.
It's pretty good; it's got the boldness of a Shiraz and the smoothness of a Cabernet. Plus, an effortless finish. :9

I like it.

10. Yuppie.
Just kidding.

Sounds wonderful. Australian Shiraz has been very popular the past few years.

22. Tonight's wine night.
Tomorrow is beer night.

I'll check in with you, if you like.

Anything to avoid the "yuppie" label. B-)

23. I love both beer and wine.
And I hope you know I was totally kidding.

It was Lounge friskiness.

Do you home brew at all? We don't, just asking.

We're Bass boys.

27. Of course I know you were kidding!
:pals:

And no, I don't home brew. That takes talent and skill. My skill lies in drinking it! :beer:

29. Well, cheers.
I only knew one person who home brewed and that was years ago. It's a lot easier to just go out and buy it.

16. You animal!
You know beer agrees with me more than milk? I'm lactose intolerant :)

It's good to see you here and also to see that you are carrying on in your straight-edge ways. I hope everything is going well for you. Just watch out for the caffiene in that chocolate ;)

19. I don't have a glass...
but I do have a mug. With coffee in it. And a thermos. Also with coffee in it.

And when I get home, I'm going to have some hot chocolate and maybe a Diet Dr. Pepper to go along with my Pepperidge Farm cookies and my book.

:hi:

26. What are "man cans"?
That term, I'm sure, means something totally different to me.

34. I have left a reply
on your story in the writer's forum. The story is very good, Peggy. Intense emotion that you make the reader feel. That's a sign of a good read.

32. Not tonight.
I'm not in the mood. Perhaps that's a good reason to go pour myself one.
