What are you drinking?

[Haole Girl]

My husband left me for the evening, so I broke into his 14 year old blended scotch whiskey. Whew! Does alcohol get stronger the older it is? I never understood that! lol

I know, it was very passive-aggressive of me! ha-ha!

:beer:

[skygazer]

1. Alcohol gets smoother with age

And more complex.

I drank most of a bottle of champagne this afternoon. We put up our Halloween decorations and its a tradition. :party:

I love traditions. :)

[Haole Girl]

2. I just looked up the price of the scotch whiskey and it looks..

..pretty expensive! eek! Hope he doesn't get mad at me.

I love champagne... usually the inexpensive kinds! lol

Oh.. thank you for reminding me about the Halloween decorations! I need to do that!!

And, thank you for the info. When are you having your wine tasting party anyway?! :hi:

[skygazer]

6. I would seriously like to do that

I have some room here for an outdoor party and I have a ton of wine to drink. A DU wine tasting - I'm going to have to coordinate that.

If you like champagne and don't like spending a lot, try the Gloria Ferrer. It's what I drank today. Under $15 usually and tastes like a lot more. :hi:

[Haole Girl]

12. Thanks for the tip... and....

Do please invite me if you have the party...please? I'll come... really! :hi:

[MrScorpio]

3. Water

Cool, clear and clean

[Haole Girl]

4. Smart man!

:hi:

[rucky]

8. single malt?

[dembotoz]

5. tab

aren't i in for an exciting evening

[Haole Girl]

9. Tab?

Does it still come in a pink can?

I didn't know they still made that!! :wow:

[OzarkDem]

27. It made a comeback, didn't it?

my college roomie was hooked on it.

[TK421]

61. I have a case of it in the fridge

grew up with just about everyone in the house drinking the stuff

Some places do not carry it, though....but it's great with flavored vodka

[rucky]

7. Really hoppy beer

from california.

[Haole Girl]

10. I'm very picky about my beer

I only like 2 kinds of German beer... from Germany. Made in Germany, that is!

[rucky]

18. This one's called Hop Rod

90% of people would detest is, but I like the combination of bitter hops and heavy rye. I just picked it up tonight for the name.

I do love the German Dunkel Weiss variety.

[Haole Girl]

20. I had a lemon flavored Lowenbrau in Germany

..best beer I ever had... ever! Then, went back to the store a week later to get more and they said it was just a promotional special and they don't make it anymore.:-(

[undeterred]

11. Water.

[Haole Girl]

13. I decided it was a good idea to switch to water

Think I wasn't hydrated enough to drink! lol! :hi:

[Courtesy Flush]

14. First beer, then wine, then scotch, then brandy, now tea

Sounds like a lot, but small portions of each.

[Haole Girl]

15. What kind of tea?

Just curious.

[Courtesy Flush]

45. Mandarin orange spice from Celestial Seasons n/t

[flvegan]

16. Amstel Light.

'Tis a night for celebration!

[Haole Girl]

17. Whatcha celebrating? nt

[flvegan]

25. Adopted out a longtimer (dog) today.

Sweet girl. Great home. Single mom, 9 year old kid, nice home/neighborhood, pool.

[Haole Girl]

33. Congrats!

:toast:

[yewberry]

19. Water--ptoo--with millet floating in it.

...stupid bird...

(I suppose I should be grateful that it's *just* millet.)

[Haole Girl]

21. It might be the alcohol...

but I pictured one of these..

[yewberry]

26. That's be less messy for sure.

The bird in question is one of these:

[Haole Girl]

32. lol!

My mother had one of those birds... she named it "Birdie"! Real original name, huh? lol!

[OzarkDem]

Sir Douglas Quintet - Mendocino

Teeny Bopper, my teenage lover
I caught your waves last night
It sent my mind to wonderin'.
You're such a groove
Please don't move
Please stay in my love house by the river.
Fast talkin' guys with strange red eyes
Have put things in your head
And started your mind to wonderin'
I love you so, please don't go
Please stay here with me in Mendocino.
Mendocino, Mendocino,
Where life's such a groove
You blow your mind in the morning.
We used to walk through the park,
Make love along the way in Mendocino.
(Ah, play it, Augie! Yeah!)
Like I told you, can you dig it?
If you wanna groove, I'll be glad to have you.
'Cause I love you so, please don't go,
Please stay here with me in Mendocino,
Mendocino, Mendocino
Where life's such a groove,
You blow your mind in the morning
We used to walk through the park,
Make love along the way in Mendocino
Mendocino, Mendocino, Mendocino

[Haole Girl]

23. Ahhh Mendocino

I have very fond memories of The Little River Inn! :-)

[OzarkDem]

30. Only been there once

passing through on a wine tour, but loved it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

24. Iced chamomile tea with a shot of peach schnapps.

Refreshing :9

[Haole Girl]

28. Sounds good

Sounds refreshing. :-)

[Cabcere]

29. Just water right now. (n/t)

[Haole Girl]

34. The more water I drink tonight

..the worse I feel.

I'm switching back to alcohol! lol!

[Cabcere]

37. LOL - I'm usually the opposite.

I try to drink a lot of water after I've been drinking alcohol, so it won't hit me so hard the next morning. ;) (Of course, that means I have to pee about every thirty minutes for a couple of hours, but I've never had a hangover!) Have fun tonight, KC2! :hi:

[Haole Girl]

41. Thanks!

You have a good night too! :hi:

[NC_Nurse]

31. Water, had my cocktails earlier.

Now I'm re-hydrating. ;-)

[Haole Girl]

35. Yeah...

It's supposed to work that way I guess. ;-)

[triguy46]

36. Australian Siraz. Before that was at a restaurant known for the bottomless mimosa.

[Haole Girl]

40. I thought the mimosa was a brunch drink?

But, hey, I was raised Southern Baptist and only drank maybe a dozen times until my 30's!! Thank God my liver was in tact for my 40's, eh! lol!

[triguy46]

93. Yep. At this restaurant, their day menu is a mix of lunch/brunch...

and what's not to like, orange juice and champagne. It is a huge hit at this place.

[TK421]

80. Is it Yellow Tail? They have some really awesome wines

I have yet to try their Merlot....it's on my list, though

[triguy46]

94. No, cannot remember, but it was in a snooty wine bar, no yellow tail to be seen...

they wouldn't lower themselves to serve such a proletariat wine. Tonight, we're having an organic roast beef, polenta and a newish Aussie siraz, with the unlikely name of Boxhead.

[unsavedtrash]

38. tequiza n/t

[Xipe Totec]

39. Those go great with vodka chasers n/t

[Haole Girl]

43. I looked it up

You'd think I'd know what one of those is living in Texas! ;-)

[pink-o]

42. Pinot Grigio

...from Italy. My family lives in Sonoma, the California wine country, and I was happy with domestic wine until I started spending time in France and Italy. Even their cheap table wine is just fine by me!

Hungary has some good wines too!

[Haole Girl]

44. Have you ever had Washington State wine?

I tried some on a cruise, once, and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

[petronius]

46. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Your comment about the scotch reminds me of a story: a few years ago I shelled out for a pricey (for me) scotch. I was excitedly sipping and savoring and telling my wife how good it was. She said she'd try it so I poured her a glass - only to see her toss it back like a jello shot! I was horrified... :rofl:

[Haole Girl]

48. ROFLMAO!

Cute story! I should do that when my husband returns!! hahaha!!

:rofl:

[petronius]

52. Have a camera handy: if he's at all like me he'll have a very pop-eyed expression

:)

[Fleshdancer]

47. Red wine

I've been on a white wine kick lately which is normal for me this time of year but my husband bought a red wine and I'm enjoying it a lot.

[Haole Girl]

50. I like some red wines

But, unfortunately, I like the less sophisticated white wines the best (which, of course, happen to be high in sugar :-(). Good thing I'm not a diabetic. But, I don't want to become one either!

[Fleshdancer]

56. I think many white wines get a bad rap

white and red wines are two different worlds to me and both (depending on the wine) can either be complex and sophisticated or bold and frivolous. Either way, you're guaranteed a good time. ;)

[TK421]

75. What type of red wine? I'm a fan

[Fleshdancer]

77. A stable table wine tonight:

Big House Red 2005 :)

Tonight was a celebration night so we tried a new restaurant and endured bad food and bad wine. We purchased the Big House Red on the way home. If we were smarter, we would have cooked our own dinner and splurged on a bottle of Silver Oak. We LOVE Silver Oak. :D

[TK421]

79. Cabernet?

[Fleshdancer]

83. Honestly? I'm not sure

I think it's a blend. The bottle just says "California Red" :D

[TK421]

84. a burgundy...I've had good ones

enjoy! with some red meat

[Bryan]

49. 10 y.o. Laphroaig

Even many hardened scotch drinkers think it's an acquired taste, but I love the smokiness.

[Haole Girl]

51. I'm starting to like this scotch the more I drink it

Too bad it's so expensive!

[TK421]

85. This one here is an EXCELLENT blended scotch, if you like scotch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Park_Single_Malt


edited to add: this is available in MOST liquor stores and distributors....but if you can't find it...KEEP LOOKING

[TK421]

81. I've had it....a couple of times

VERY smoky and lots of peat intonations...but an excellent choice, by any sane scotch-drinkers standards!

[TK421]

82. The Macallan happens to be my very favorite right now, although quite expensive

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macallan_Single_Malt

[Carrieyazel]

53. Pepsi.

[Haole Girl]

62. Many years ago

I liked Pepsi. Luckily, that is one habit I have been able to break!

[Carrieyazel]

71. Do you think Coke or any other soda is better??

My favorite cola is RC. Much better than Pepsi.

[Fran Kubelik]

54. Ice Mountain

natural spring water.

[Haole Girl]

60. That is sounding good again...

I keep going back and forth between alcohol and water... alcohol and water....

:hi:

[LadyAziz]

55. Lipton Green Tea

Yum!

[Haole Girl]

59. OMG...

There are so many green teas. Be sure to try

Rishi, Jasmine pearl organic green tea... it's the best I've ever had!

[Lefta Dissenter]

57. We celebrated

my 50th birthday tonight (the big event is actually tomorrow). Went to a wonderful restaurant, and had fabulous wine, and a chocolate martini. Came home and we've been concocting our own chocolate martinis and listening to music! :D

oops - edited for missed letters - hey, don't blame me, I'm almost fifty years old! I'm bound to forget a thing or two!

:crazy:

[Haole Girl]

58. Happy 50th Birthday!!

:party:

[Cabcere]

63. Happy 50th!

:hi: :party: And chocolate martinis rock. :thumbsup: Have a great birthday tomorrow! :hug:

[Lefta Dissenter]

64. even

attempts at chocolate martinis rock! :) and thanks for the good wishes for 50!

[lost-in-nj]

65. Coronas

lost

[Haole Girl]

67. Aww...

:hug:

I must say... this scotch is quite enough! If you were here I'd share it with you!! :hi:

[TK421]

66. I'm doing shots of Jack Daniels now, since there is no beer to be found here

:cry: that's right...I'm crying into my shot glass

[Haole Girl]

68. Hey...

You okay? Don't cry... I can't take it!!! I'll cry too!! I swear I will!!

[TK421]

69. Now you're teasing me...what brand of scotch is that, I'm curious

I've gotten to like scotch over the past year, myself.

And how the hell have you been KC? :D

[Haole Girl]

70. I cannot get up to look... it is over 14 years old though...

..he had it before we were married.

I've been right here! :hi:

[TK421]

73. Well...tell me what brand, so I can experience the same thing you experience!

I've been a bit busy lately with my job...I think that's an understatement.

Glad that you're enjoying that scotch...while I'm stuck here with my lowly Jack Daniels :-(

This stuff tastes like year-old cat urine
