It's Saturday night...what are you drinking?

[Fox Mulder]

I'm drinking Da Vinci Chianti Classico 2004. :P

How about you?

[MassLiberal]

1. cold medicine

hot lemony stuff. Yum. (It also works!)

[Fox Mulder]

2. That sucks.

But I'm glad it's working. :)

[MassLiberal]

4. yeah

I'm really sick. But drugs do help. :hi:

[NightWatcher]

3. had 3 of these, now I'm real mellow

Savannah Fest Bier

This German-style Festival bier has a rich orange hue. Its medium body is complemented by a Munich malt toastiness and premium German hops which are a blend of Hallertau, Spalt, Hersbruck and Saaz, yielding a spicy, "noble hop" aroma.

[Fox Mulder]

5. Sounds good.

I'd be feeling mellow after three of those as well. :)

[Generic Brad]

6. Leinenkugel's

It comes with an interesting sobriety test. When you can no longer spell it, you know you have had enough.

[Fox Mulder]

9. I love that stuff.

Especially Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss.

[DarkTirade]

44. Wait... so I've had enough before I've even tried it?

Wow... strong stuff. :P

[Quantess]

50. Ah, the Great Lakes' microbrew!

Or is that macro, now? We don't have Leinenkugel's on the West coast.

[Generic Brad]

51. I'm not sure if it's micro or macro

I'm waiting for Costco to come to the area. I hear their lager is supposed to be pretty good.

[skater314159]

56. That wouldn't work for me...

... when I get intoxicated, I start speaking German with some Russian and Yiddish/Hebrew thrown in.

Whenever I notice I'm confusing whomever I am talking to, or that I am thinking in NOT English, I call it a night. I learned to do that in University, when my friends would encourage me to argue with people when I was sloshed (they spoke German too) and I would get frustrated because the people weren't listening to me/understanding me. Fun times.

[Omphaloskepsis]

7. Hamm's...

But I am going to take a nap soon so I can head out to the bars later.

[Fox Mulder]

I've never had Hamm's.

Have fun at the bar. :hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

32. It is like PBR..

Weak, taste like water, and it takes a lot of it to get drunk enough to call your ex-girlfriend.

[Fox Mulder]

40. Ah...I see.

My great grandpa used to drink that stuff all the time. I think he even worked at a Hamm's brewery once upon a time...

[Roon]

8. Coffee and water.

I gave up booze awhile back.

[Fox Mulder]

13. Also good on a Saturday night.

:)

[DarkTirade]

10. I bought a six pack of Magic Hat Not Quite Pale Ale because it looked interesting.

It's not. But it's all I got, so I'm drinkin' it.

[Fox Mulder]

15. It doesn't taste well, eh?

That sucks.

[DarkTirade]

21. It's not bad. Just not great.

And not particularly interesting. I like my drinks to be interesting. :P

Last beer I had that was really good was a chocolate stout, if I recall correctly.

I think for the most part I tend to favor beers that also have something else in there for flavor. Wheat ales with a fruit aftertaste are a pretty solid standard for me.

Probably why I started brewing my own alcoholic beverages. That way I can do whatever interesting things I want. :)

[Fox Mulder]

25. What kind of alcohol do you brew?

I thought I saw somewhere that you brew mead. I love mead. I have a 1/2 bottle of Bunratty Meade (imported from Ireland, of course) in my refrigerator.

[DarkTirade]

30. Yep. Right now I've got three gallons in the cellar.

Two test batches (one if which is technically a 'cyser', part mead, part cider), and one gallon that I'm hoping will be the final version brewing. I had to put it next to the furnace to keep it warm enough, the cellar's a bit cold this time of year. :) But it's the perfect temperature for aging, so I left the other two away from the furnace.

I'm going for a seasonal thing right now, so the one brewing is my hearty winter mead. I used the thickest raw honey I could find, mixed with a few ounces of dark molasses for a bit of an extra kick. Then I added a few wintery spices like ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, some raisins (although those are more for nutrients than flavor), and I was going to add some orange peel but I couldn't find any dried. So if it's not perfect, I'll know what's missing. :)

The cyser I also spiced a whole lot to give it some kick. I wanted it to have a very strong cinnamon/apple pie kind of taste. Whereas the winter will have more of a hint of a rum/gingerbread kind of taste.

I was also planning on doing a small batch of what's called capsicumel. That's mead with hot pepper added. :) I think I'm gonna call it 'Loki's Helfire'.

For summer I'm planning on doing some kind of orange blossom honey mead, and I still haven't decided what to do for spring yet. I should though, since that's coming up soon.

[Fox Mulder]

34. They all sound really good.

I don't know about the Loki's Hellfire, though. It sounds like it'd knock me down on my ass. :)

[DarkTirade]

37. Yeah, I think that's a drink that'll be mostly for when one is ALREADY drunk.

Or when you just wanna screw with somebody. :evilgrin:

[Fox Mulder]

39. I would think so.

:rofl:

[defendandprotect]

11. Tea, apple cider, water, sparkling water . . .

off booze til I get my blood pressure down --- !!

Fat chance with fascists in office --- !!!

[Fox Mulder]

17. I have high blood pressure as well...

but it's not going to stop me from getting drunk. :)

[defendandprotect]

93. You're probably young and stupid --- and how I wish I still were !!!!!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. I Had A Shot Of Bacardi 151. It's Been Quite A While.

Lethal that shit is. Just lethal.

[DarkTirade]

16. That stuff's good for two things:

degreasing engines and killin' brain cells. :P

[Fox Mulder]

19. It's lethal, but have you ever had Everclear?

That's even worse! I had a whole bottle of it one weekend when I was in college. I don't remember that weekend a whole lot.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

27. True Story: First Stuff I Ever Got Drunk Off Of, In High School.

The older 'stayed back a few times' high school punks had some in the 'smokers bathroom'. I tried some. Holy cow indeed.

[Fox Mulder]

31. We can't even get that stuff here in Minnesota...

we have to drive to South Dakota to purchase it. The highest alcohol content they sell here in MN is 151 proof.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

35. I Haven't Seen It In A Longggggg Time. Is It Still Around?

I wonder if it's even legal in Jersey anymore.

When I got the bacardi 151, I walked right into the liquor store and said "What's the strongest stuff you got in here". He said "that would be the bacardi 151". I said "I'll take it".

[Fox Mulder]

36. Yeah, it's still around.

I remember when I had Bacardi 151 once. My roommate was drinking it (and smoking as well) and accidentally lit himself on fire. He put it out right away, though, so it was funny after the fact.

[skater314159]

61. Whoah...

... I tried it first too in HS. I was a freshman who went into the "senior stoners'" bathroom and they had that stuff instead of weed. I drank some and next thing I knew, I was in a bookstore a hundred miles away eating goldfish crackers.

No mas for me!

[Breeze54]

48. Lethal but oh...soooo good!

:P

:toast:

[Tektonik]

14. dr pepper

:P

[Fox Mulder]

20. I had some of that earlier.

I'm a Dr. Pepper addict. :)

[fishwax]

18. beer, for now, specifically Stevens Point

Honey Light ...

[Fox Mulder]

22. What are you having later?

:)

[fishwax]

29. a russian of one shade or another

whether black or white remains to be seen :)

on edit: perhaps one of each :toast:

[Fox Mulder]

33. You'll get the best of both worlds with one of each.

Cheers. :toast: :beer:

[Catshrink]

23. Water, unfortunately.

I would love to have a brew but I'm grading exams. 8 to 3 my ass.

[Fox Mulder]

24. Ugh, that sucks.

[Catshrink]

26. Yeah - stoichiometry

I guess I successfully put the fear of the gods of chemistry into these kids because the exams are looking pretty good. It's difficult stuff and they did well -- so far anyway. Except for the two I caught cheating during the exam. Sigh.

[Fox Mulder]

28. I remember that term...stoichiometry...

from my General Chemistry days in college. I had to cheat and look it up on wikipedia, but now I remember what it means.

I suppose you had to fail the two people who were caught cheating? That always sucks, but hopefully they'll learn.

[Catshrink]

38. They get zeros on the exam

for one of them, it will mean he fails the class. He doesn't do anything anyway and is a total jerk. The other one, the guy he cheated off, will survive. I'm not sure whether he was paid off in money or pot. That's the way things work with them.

[DarkTirade]

41. I must drink beer.

Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the beer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

[Fox Mulder]

47. One of the best quotes ever:

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
-- Ben Franklin

:)

[barb162]

42. Diet, caffeine free RC

I know, really exciting. :)

[Fox Mulder]

45. I'll be drinking something diet here shortly...

because I'm really buzzed right now.

[Breeze54]

43. Bacardi Silver and Caffiene-Free diet coke on ice.

:P

:toast:

[Fox Mulder]

46. Good stuff.

:toast:

[Breeze54]

49. Backatcha!

:toast:

:hug:

[libnnc]

52. Boddington's Pub Ale

:beer:

[Fox Mulder]

53. Never had it.

But it sounds good. :)

[quiet.american]

54. Vodka tonic with lime. Cheers. nt

[Fox Mulder]

57. Cheers.

:toast: :) :beer:

[ellisonz]

55. Sam Adams.

[Fox Mulder]

59. You can never go wrong with a classic.

What kind of Sam Adams are you drinking?

I love Octoberfest. Too bad it's only out in the Autumn.

[DarkTirade]

62. That's what I wish I was drinking...

:P

[MissMillie]

58. Patron reposado

yummy

[Fox Mulder]

60. What is that?

[MissMillie]

92. tequila (n/t)

.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

63. Hot tea

I woke up with a miserable stomach ache, and had to take Immodium just to get through my gigs. :(

The tea hits the spot, though. :)

[Fox Mulder]

65. I'm drinking organic peppermint tea now.

I'm sobering up so I can go to the store later.

[Raejeanowl]

64. Fresca, Boo-Hoo n/t

[Fox Mulder]

66. I don't care for Fresca...

but I'll drink it if that's all that's around.

Come to think of it, I haven't had a drop of that stuff in eight years or so...

[FloridaJudy]

67. Green Tea

My new Drug of Choice. I don't know if it lives up to the health claims, but it tastes good. Cheap, too.

[Fox Mulder]

69. Ahhh...my favorite tea.

I just got a bunch of it from the local organic foods store. Great stuff. :thumbsup:

[LeftyMom]

68. Chocolate Silk Lite.

[Fox Mulder]

70. I've been drinking Silk for about a month now.

I'll never go back to milk. I wish I would've found it years ago.

[LeftyMom]

76. The lite tastes watery. I bought it on sale and am not impressed.

[ghostsofgiants]

73. I'm oddly not all that fond of Silk.

There's another soy milk I tried, that I forget the name of, that I like much better. Everyone tells me Silk is the best though, haha.

[LeftyMom]

77. I like Vitasoy best, but this was on sale for 99 cents a half gallon.

I couldn't really pass that up.

[ghostsofgiants]

71. The usual: Jones Fufu Berry soda

[Fox Mulder]

74. I love Jones soda

Creme Soda is my favorite. What sucks though is that the only two places that sell Jones soda around here is Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. x(

[ghostsofgiants]

80. There's a great corner store here that's independently owned and is open 24/7 that sells it...

And they're a 5 minute walk from my house. It's great.

[Fox Mulder]

86. Lucky you.

If there was a store close to me like that, I'd be there all the time.

[ghostsofgiants]

88. I am, it's bad for my bank account, ahah.

[Cabcere]

79. Jones Soda is some pretty good stuff

:) They come up with the most interesting flavors! On a whim, I bought a 4-pack of cocoa-flavored soda for my family around Christmastime, and darned if it didn't taste like the real stuff! :crazy:

I also recently discovered Jones carbonated candy. :9 Orange & Cream = delicious! :D

[Cabcere]

72. Smirnoff Ice.

Yeah, "bitch beer," but it's relatively cheap, tastes decent, and is available within walking distance of campus. :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

75. I drank that a lot when I was in college.

That, and Bacardi O. They both taste great.

[Cabcere]

82. I like it :)

I'm such a girl when it comes to alcohol, lol. :P I was actually looking to get some Kahlua Mudslides, but apparently they either don't carry those at the store I went to anymore or they were out of stock. x( I do loves me some Mudslides! :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

83. Those are good too.

I could drink 20 of them in one night.

[Cabcere]

84. Oh, dude, me too.

:9 Which is probably why it's a good thing they didn't have them at the store. :rofl: :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

85. Haha.

Yeah, that could get a little expensive also. :rofl:

[DarkTirade]

91. I don't think something with less than 4% alcohol

should even be considered an alcoholic beverage. :P

[madinmaryland]

78. I drinking BEER you libal idoits! I have morels, ya know! SERIESLY!!

:hi:

[Fox Mulder]

81. OMG!!!!!111111

ARE YOU SERIES??? THAT'S HUGH!!!!11111!111?!11

[TZ]

87. PUI?

Why don't you go over and stir up shit in GDP...That could be amusing....Title.."You fucking village idiots need to get over the primary thingie....":D

[madinmaryland]

89. HOLY FUCK!

I sprayed my beer everywhere. I'm not sure that I am crazy enough to do that!!

:spray:

HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Bookmarked for later.

[Cabcere]

90. Don't cast asparagus at me!!1!!1!!!

:grr:

And do try not to get your patties all waded up, OK? ;) :rofl:

[EstimatedProphet]

94. It's now Monday morning, and I'm not drinking anything.

[DarkTirade]

95. ... well how were you planning on getting through the work day then?

:P
