[gasoline highway]

Oberon

[AtomicKitten]

1. Tequila!

[ingac70]

3. I'm with you on that one...

in the form of strawberry margaritas.

[ronnykmarshall]

49. I'm with ya on that !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVKsd8z6scw

[RNdaSilva]

79. Mezcal with worm?

[dsc]

2. ice tea or diet coke

just like any other day. No booze for 8 years.

[FloridaJudy]

23. Me too

Though I might spring for some gourmet root beer. And fireworks.

[Hawkeye-X]

46. Oooh good idea.

Might go up to Wyoming and stock up on some REALLY loud fireworks just for that purpose!

Hawkeye-X

[Hekate]

4. I have a gift bottle of cognac that I think I will break into. Won't forget the libation, either. nt

[azmouse]

5. Bollinger Grand Anee 1989 Champagne

I've been saving it for a special occaision! :party: Gobama!!!!

[Auggie]

7. Yes -- bubbles for sure

[leftynyc]

92. Champagne for me also

The best bottle of Dom I can afford.

[azmouse]

103. Bollinger and Roederer are less expensive and taste even better than Dom.

Just a tip from a Champagne-loving mouse! :hi:


BTW... I'm always available if you need any help finishing the bottle!

[leftynyc]

104. Thanks for the tip

Champagne has gotten very expensive in the last year. And if you're planning on election day in New York, I would love the company to celebrate.

[azmouse]

105. The mischievous part of me want to be here in AZ on election day

to hear the wails of despair from the Reps when McBush loses! :woohoo: :party:
Thanks for the invite tho!

Ohhh... also, Roederer has a California winery called Roederer Estate that makes an amazing sparkler for the low, low price of only about $23. You won't believe how good it is! Get plenty for 1/20/09!

[leftynyc]

106. Oooh - definitely be in AZ

I went to Arizona State and still vacation in Sedona when I get the chance.

And at only $23/bottle, I'll get a few for the house. I recently paid $46 for a bottle of Verve.

[CherokeeDem]

6. I plan on....

the best "French" champagne I can afford. And a bottle of California sparkling as well.!

[Mz Pip]

8. As soon as it's called

for Obama, I'm heading to BevMo and buying one of those bottles of champagne that they keep locked in a case. It will be the first and last time I will probably be so extravagant.


An Obama victory would be worth it.

[northernsoul]

9. Riunite on ice! Riunite so nice!

Riunite! Riunite!

Actually, I'm probably with you on the Oberon pick. That or Wittekerke or Hoegaarden.

[Cha]

10. I'll be drinking

Ginger Kombucha and making plans to attend the Inaugeral in DC on January 20, 2009:kick: :bounce: :patriot: :party:

[newmajority]

11. Considering the winter seasonal beers should be out by then

Probably one of these......



or



or



or the local favorite

[derby378]

12. Whatever's in reach...

...although I'll be happiest with any Texas beer. Or a Guinness. Or a Sam Adams.

If on the astronomically unlikely chance Obama loses, however, I'm reaching for la fee verte. And not that "near-beer" version you see in liquor stores, either.

[Gato Moteado]

31. texas beer?

have you ever tried pearl or lone star? you could remove paint with that stuff.

shiner is a drinkable beer flavored drink. but that other stuff will rot your gut.

be careful.

[Gato Moteado]

34. oops

sorry

[CTyankee]

57. As I recall, these were drunk with mex-tex foods. Doesn't say much aabout the

cuisine or the wine, does it?

[derby378]

100. Don't be talking trash about my Lone Star...

That's good stuff. Best with ribs. :hi:

[hisownpetard]

13. What *won't* I be drinking?!

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[Blondiegrrl]

51. Budweiser?

:evilgrin:

[Kolesar]

14. Maalox

Another four months. There are problems.

[tokenlib]

15. Kool- Aid!!! Just KIDDING!!! n/t

[the_real_38]

74. funny....

...n/t

[JBoris]

16. I don't like alcohol, so tea. But if McCombover wins, I just might go on a 4 year bender. nt

[tkmorris]

17. Doesn't matter what it is

It will taste like Victory.

:beer:

[my2sense]

18. Vodka & OJ n/t

[Alexander]

19. Chablis in my limousine.

Just kidding.

Probably a Fat Tire in my living room.

[DebbieCDC]

20. A Kir Royale

Made with a VERY good champagne :toast:

[iamahaingttta]

21. I'll be lightin' up a fattie!

And toasting with other toasted people!!!

[bigwillq]

22. Heineken Light

and plenty, plenty of shots. :bounce: :toast: :beer:

[helderheid]

24. Dom!

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/110.$plit/C_71_article_1026337_image_list_image_list_item_0_image.jpg

If we make it past a complicit media and Diebold, I'm buying the GOOD STUFF!

[RNdaSilva]

78. Me too...

We elitists must stick together.

I still have an empty bottle in my house...it was years ago...already forgot the occasion. The empty bottle is in its original box.

[leftynyc]

94. I also have an empty bottle of Dom

Me and two friends drank it 16 years ago when my nephew was born. I can't bring myself to throw it out so I use it for plant clippings to grow roots before replanting.

[rucky]

25. Fizzy Lizzy

[NYC_SKP]

26. "Hop Obama" by Sixpoint Craft Ales

Made specifically in honor of the good senator, future president.

Good for what ales U.

http://sixpointcraftales.com/creations.html

:hi:

[Alexander]

27. That looks pretty good, have you tried it?

[NYC_SKP]

30. I haven't had the pleasure, but I might place an order from them.

Just to keep around, and to have for the coming celebration!

[ecstatic]

28. No drinks. I want to be sober when the final projection is read! It's gonna be a WILD night

in ATL for sure! But OMG, God help us if Diebold pulls another fast one. Seriously. That would be UGLY.

[Gato Moteado]

29. freeper blood!

nt

[Colobo]

32. Lemonade!

[Speck Tater]

33. Probably water. Maybe tea. NT

[Labors of Hercules]

35. mojitos!!!

[Gato Moteado]

37. good choice!

nt

[Gato Moteado]

36. anything but budweiser products......

....i'll have to admit i used to love michelob, but with the McFascists owning a bud distribution company, i will never buy another anheiser busch product and i will pray for a 100 years without a world series appearance for the st louis cardinals.

[AZBlue]

68. Imagine living here.

No Bud, no Michelob (which I love), no Bacardi. Because here in AZ, there's NO way it could come from any other distributor.

[Median Democrat]

38. Bourbon

Probably's a glass of Maker's Mark on the rocks.

[Rowdyboy]

39. Like every election night since 1972....champagne!

Cheap and plentiful....

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

40. Jägermeister

[livvy]

41. This sounds right, course it frequently does anyway.

I might try to find an older vintage. I know of one store in the area that carries some, but not sure just how old. It comes in 15, 18, 21, 30, and 40 year old stock. The 50 year old stock is sold out (like I could afford it...:rofl: ) The 40 year old bottles go for over a $1,000. I'd love to just have a taste. The 21 year old bottles finish off the last 4 mos. in barrels that once held rum from the Caribbean...sounds interesting, and might be able to treat myself to one of those, for such a special occasion.

[LWolf]

42. My favorite comfort tea.

Chamomile, catnip, and lavender.

[gblady]

44. sounds good....

is there a brand, or do you mix your own?

[LWolf]

65. I mix my own.

I use loose tea and a diffuser.

I don't really have a recipe. I start with equal parts, but may shift the amounts of each around on any given day, depending on my mood.

It's good, and talk about relaxing...I first used it several years back when I suffered from insomnia. It helped me find much needed sleep.

[leftynyc]

96. Catnip in tea? I never heard of that before

I'm thinking my cats would be fighting me for a sip.

[LWolf]

108. Catnip is part of the mint family,

and makes good tea. The same compound that makes cats go nuts has a mild sedative effect on humans.

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

Since all 3 of the herbs act as a mild sedative, among other things, the 3 of them together pack quite a punch.

[leftynyc]

109. So I can use the same plant

to make tea to calm me and also to make my cats stoned? That's very good information - thanks. I use the stuff to mostly keep the cats out of the way when I'm cooking - they're busy going crazy rather than under my feet in the kitchen.

[LWolf]

110. You can!

Make sure it's relatively fresh for your own use, of course. More effective for the cats that way, as well. ;)

[leftynyc]

111. I have a plant I use that

I had to keep on top of the fridge. It's the only place they couldn't get to it although the bigger one has tried. I appreciate all the info and look forward to trying it.

[Zynx]

43. Otima Tawny Port:

[Shakespeare]

47. Oh HELL yeah.

God, do I love a good tawny. :9

Probably my very favorite spirit.

[Zynx]

54. When I discovered I was like, "DAAAAMN! This is fantastic!"

[Hawkeye-X]

45. A Moet Dom Perignon that I'm going to ask my local liquor mart to stock and

chill for me...

It'll be worth it to see President Chimp cry like a baby.

[Blondiegrrl]

48. Why, a latte, of course.

:evilgrin:

Seriously, though ... cheap champagne (for symbolic purposes) and some good locally produced microbrewed beer (for drinking purposes):

http://www.mountaineerbrewing.com/Beers.html

[davidlynch]

50. Red Bull and Absolut vodka n/t

[Diamonique]

52. Glenmorangie 18 year old scotch

I can only afford to drink it on special occasions. :-)

[thoughtcrime1984]

71. Very nice!

I might break out the Johnnie Walker Gold, or even (gulp) JW Blue. I like both blended and single malts.

[CTyankee]

53. A nice Italian Prosecco. Maybe a Bellinini with pomegranate juice instead of peach nectar.

Boy, those Bellini's are great. I had the BEST one in Bologna in May. It was perfetto!

[AZBlue]

69. Oh, you and I could drink together!

Have you ever had a tintoretto? Pomegranate and prosecco. Yum!

But...bellini's are my FAVORITE drink. Ever.
Peach nectar isn't easy to find here in AZ - but I found some at Williams Sonoma.

[CTyankee]

87. In 05 we had a "themed" Thanksgiving and had the pom and Prosecco.

I didn't know some people call them "tintorettos." I like the name though.

Maybe the reason we both like bellinis is that they are light in alcohol.

I really wish I could find the malvesia that I had in northern Italy last May. Really great, but obscure, wines on that trip. In Verona they served white wine in short pitchers on the table, but when you finished the pitcher they'd just bring more and wouldn't charge any more. Coca Cola was more expensive than the wine...

[matt007]

55. A very cold pint of Stella Artois

[Barack_America]

56. Probably nothing.

I'll be volunteering on election day. And if I'm half as exhausted as I was on the night after our primary, drinking will not be on the menu.

[ccharles000]

58. I don't drink.

But I will have lots of snacks ready.

[detectivecastro]

63. Is that Ashton Kutcher on the picture?

Looks like him.

[ccharles000]

66. ...

No it is Gale Harold from Queer As Folk.

[AZBlue]

70. He is SO beautiful!

I'd have watched Queer even if it was the worst show on TV just to look at Brian. I may even start watching Desperate Housewives again just because of him.

[leftynyc]

97. Whoa - Gale Harold going to DH??

Love the show simply for the Marcia Cross character but will defintely tivo for that kind of eye candy.

[Danger Mouse]

59. THUNDERBIRD!!!

[cliffordu]

60. Lattes. Lattes and a nice Arugula salad.

[ourbluenation]

61. Veuve Clicquot, pretty sure. n/t

[detectivecastro]

62. I will drink anything with alcohol in it

Even isopropylic alcohol.

[BklynChick]

64. champagne

[swishyfeet]

67. May need to upgrade from the Two Buck Chuck

What kind of wine can you get for FIVE bucks??

:)

[SwampG8r]

77. 2 buck chuck is

almost always a finer wine repackaged under his label
he buys surplus from a1 vintners

[smiley_glad_hands]

72. Good question. I'll have to get back to you on it. eom

[SwampG8r]

73. i dont drink so.....

for me!

[TransitJohn]

75. Flor de Caña 5 year

[Rosa Luxemburg]

76. Guiness! A celebration that 'an Irishman' has won the Presidency

O'Bama!

[Awsi Dooger]

80. Ice water

Morning, noon, and night, like always.

Ginger ale counts as a splurge for me.

My system is so content with water that anything else basically gives me a headache.

[TheDonkey]

81. Champagne

even though my finances will probably be shaky, it'll be something to truly savor and celebrate.

[hedgehog]

82. Just a few sips of the best:

[bklyncowgirl]

83. I am not buying anything in advance. Don't want to queer his chances.

I went out and bought a bottle of champagn in 2004 after hearing about the exit polls from someone who's house I visited while volunteering for the campaign.

Bad idea.

I will not do that again.

Some say it was the voting machines but I know it was that bottle of Korbel Brut.

[H2O Man]

84. Water.

Possibly iced tea.

[Political Heretic]

85. Everything :)

[bcoylepa]

86. guinness!!

will leave for Ireland the next day!!

[EstimatedProphet]

88. I think it would call for a nice champagne

Maybe a Dom or a Perrier Fils.

[Marrah_G]

89. Hopefully not as much as after Kerry conceded

That was a bad 3 days.

[madwivoter]

90. I'm in for some Oberon...

Or as I like to call it "Obe"



It's seasonal, so those of you who enjoy it as well might want to buy it ahead of time :)

[RobertDevereaux]

91. The sweet nectar of YES INDEED!

[bunkerbuster1]

93. A pint of "Don't Jinx It" ale?

[FunkyLeprechaun]

95. BEER

Probably tell the people at my pub to pay for them since they kept telling me that he would lose.... they've made silly bets with me... even back in January.

[rox63]

98. I'm buying a round of

Appletinis for everyone. :9

[Sancho]

99. Foreign Beer: Bud!

:toast: :beer: :toast: :beer: :sarcasm:

[Dawgs]

101. Scotch... and lots of it.

I'm taking two days off for this one.

[thoughtcrime1984]

107. I love scotch, scotchy scotch scotch.

[Adelante]

102. VEUVE CLICQUOT

Yum :)

[jeffrey_X]

112. 2007 Three Floyds Dark Lord

or a 2005 Stone Russian Imperial Stout

[Butch350]

113. Corona Extra - Slice of Lime!!

[dembotoz]

114. coffee- we got lots of stuff to fix-get started right away
