The new.....What are you "drinking" right now...

[kojack]

I'm teetering on old fart territory.  I know my tolerance for B/S had dropped to nothing since I started working retail. People must think i'm an AHOLE! ha ha.  My other businesses are starting to pick up now, and I have gotten some great writing gigs so far with a couple of web development clients!

 

Oh, tonight's menu is a few glasses of wiser's 10 year barrel aged whisky, and a couple of runs of comatose strain!  My shipment shows up tomorrow and I am going to be baked the entire day! ha ha

I suppose my last purchase belongs in this thread as much as the "last purchase" thread... went out with some friends tonight and had a couple good wheats, the watermelon wheat beat the hefe, which is unusual, and an excellent stout, the Brew Dog Jet Black Heart.  The latter being the one I had tried previously and knew was one of my favorites.  It's amazingly smooth, I wish it were easier to find at the stores.

 

Also had a sour, but it didn't match up to the key lime sour at my favorite local place.  Which is unfortunately nearly kegged out, but the rumor is the cucumber sour is next on tap and I missed that last year so I'm curious to try it.

Drinking a glass of El Jimador. Been a long and tiring week.

Broke out some of the scotch for the first time in a long time.  Port Charlotte.  Despite being "heavily peated", it's actually less peated that the Laphroaig or Ardbeg that I'd typically go for.  Really, what that means is, "heavily peated for what a sane person would choose" rather than "as much peat as possible!".

 

Once I re-calibrate my peat meter, it's actually pretty good.  I think I've been underappreciating this one due to being used to the peat being so on-the-taste-bud that it's impossible to miss, but there is some merit in being a bit more subtle and letting the other flavors have the presence be noticeable as well.

 

Single-malt Islay remains my favorite.  I remain fascinated that an island of just over 3000 people can have such a well-known world-class product.

Drinking this.....Japanese sure don't understand the english language....(HINT: say Calpis very fast)

 morning joe in a bit

[ryan]

de-alcoholized beer...no buzz but alcohol got the best of me

[kojack]

The watermelon sour sounds awesomely interesting. I have been partaking in N/A beers and spirits lately as the hangovers are BRUTAL lately.  Sign of getting old.  One wonderful thing cannabis does. NO hangy....also, you always have your "wits" about you. Not like when you are really drunk where you just flop all over the place.  ha ha.

I was exact opposite in my troubled youth. I couldnt think straight when stoned. Too disjointed.

I like to have the illusion of control at all times so I fought that disjointed feeling and had bad experiences.

When drunk I could still think "coherently".........or maybe a better description would be "in a linear fashion, one thought following on and flowing to the next".

Sure maybe I never had the best ideas when drunk but at least they made sense at the time

its funny but when weed was illegal I smoked it like snoop. now its legal and I dont touch it...oh the irony.

 

my dad wants me to try weed to see if it helps me out in a variety of ways, but im just not interested even though I know it can help mood/sleep/and alleviate pain

That's why I do it mainly. Pain, relax and sleep relief.  Side effect of chillin out listening to music is awesome!  I do get more creative using as well!

[ryan]

I found I was more out going and talked alot more told jokes overall had a good time

[ryan]

having a maxwell coffee with irish cream. mmmm

[kojack]

havent drink beer since 2018.

i have done drugs but i also stop and been clean for more than 16 years.  ill never do that again.

Also water tonight!  Hydrating, refreshing, frequently available, inexpensive... it has many redeeming qualities!

 

Lately my drug-containing beverage of choice has been lapsang souchong tea, a black tea from China whose leaves are smoke-dried.  It had disappeared from the local market, but reappeared via the Internet, just as good as before, but from a different brand.

 

I've also been drinking more beer.  I've moved to an area with at least four breweries within walking distance, not counting places that sell beer but don't make it themselves.  Turns out that going to a bar and having a pint or two can be a good way to have more real-life conversations.  So can going to a coffee shop with a bar and having a cuppa tea.  I've been doing more of both.

Is Australia you would be called a "2 can sam" ....1 can (of beer) and your anybodies...2 cans and your nobodies 

 

 

A word of advice I got when young....

Drinking is for celebrating....shopping is for when your sad.

 

Other than that I also only really drink water.....boiled with coffee in it
