How do you get your drink on?

Now that SUCKS! Sorry bro.

It's the opposite for me. Kicking back a couple of brewskies before bed gives me the best sleep of my life. I wake up feeling great too.

I will say that some alchohol gives me heartburn, and I'll get the absolute worst acid reflux from it. Seriously, I'll wake up literally choking, gasping for air. It's scary as hell, but doesn't last for too long...thankfully.
You sound like a guy I want to party with. A man can dream.
 
Generally only drink at the weekend - but if anyone here likes IPA I can thoroughly recommend Cotswold IPA ...

Any gin drinkers: try Cotswold Dry Gin - really nice..

And I do like a glass of red wine.. always like a Malbec, and on special occasions a Pomerol or maybe even a Margaux ...!

I actually really like Californian wine. Was there one called Letitia??
 
I've had this problem lately from eating. The cure? Add 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a warm drink (eg chamomile tea), and sip it. It restores the pH balance of the stomach and stops the reflux ;)
Nice! I've been drinking baking soda. It's absolutely disgusting, but totally works. I'll have to try the apple cider mix!
 
Scotch. Balvenie, Glenmorangie or Craggenmore. Talsker. McCallan. Nothing too fancy. To me, Lagavulin tastes like brown listerine strained through a shredded baseball glove.

As your VI-C “Mom” I can tell you I lost my voice for about 6 months last year from acid reflux,I now take 1 generic nexium a day.My voice is back to normal and I rarely have acid reflux anymore.
Acid reflux is nasty, unpleasant and can lead to more serious problems..........be careful son.

I can vouch that this really works btw. My reflux got so bad that I couldn't eat but I'm fine now and back to eating whatever I want. Also, I know this sounds a bit new age but it does make a big difference if you use the organic version with the "mother" (ie unfiltered with the "fermentation strands of proteins, enzymes and friendly bacteria that give the vinegar a murky appearance"). Most supermarkets have it.

Wow! i never heard about this benefit of Apple Cider ,sounds like a great tip I will try this.
Thanks
 
For beer: stouts and pale ales (not so much IPAs, though).

I generally drink iced tea made from Tapal Danedar or Wagh Bakri. Sometimes Typhoo or Typhoo X. For green tea it's usually "gunpowder" (rolled pellet) style like Temple of Heaven, and sometimes dragon well.

For coffee I like medium to dark-roasted Sumatran or Peruvian beans. I also like Cafe Bustelo because it's chocolatey.

Alcoholic. 15+ years sober. Coffee is my jam. ;)
Drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings. 65 years a Drunk (well, perhaps not as a child.)

My preferred tipple is Irish whiskey, but I tend to drink dry martinis because I don’t like the taste of gin (few people do) so that keeps me from over-drinking. On the other hand, it’s the destination not the journey, so whatever’s around will suffice. Sterno-rocks?

I never got the point of beer other than as something to wash down whiskey. You have to drink SO much of it! Why take the local when you can take the express?

The best Irish I’ve ever had was 21 year old Redbreast, the last single pot Irish whiskey made in Ireland, or so they say. My son brought me a bottle from the duty free on the way back from his deployment in Afghanistan. That stuff was liquid gold, and obviously the celebratory occasion didn’t hurt the experience.
 
I live in a State where everything is legal and freedom is cherished.
We have White Castles and Weed delivered for NFL Games.

Whenever I go to another State I try and remember all of the laws that prohibit the pursuit of happiness.

But while in Nevada one must delve deeply into it’s treasures.
I was visiting someone in that state a couple months ago, and it was strange how constipated their implementation of weed freedom turned out to be -- essentially, you can't toke up anywhere any non-tokers might see you. Probably have to draw the curtains in your own home and never smoke in the back yard if there are balconies behind your place, is the way I read it.

I might get an apartment over there in the next few years, but I saw that some complexes have no-weed clauses in their contracts. Hoping there's a directory of weed-friendly complexes somewhere.

Hm...probably depends on the area. I'm from Vegas. In my experience, neighbors don't a fu$! what you smoke as long as it's legal and you're responsible.
 
Laws like this are simply there to be used

Dont let that bother you. It’s what we call jerklaws.
People can pretty much do anything they want until you make others uncomfortable acting like a jerk off. Then the little dip shit laws can be enforced.
We grow our own weed because the dispenseries max out at 27%.

I work in non smoking clubs, but you can stand outside and smoke, toke, whatever you want. Cops dont wait around at 100am to give DUIs out like other states.

You can pretty much do whatever you want until you take these freedoms for granted, then if you dont get your ass whooped the cops will make sure y0u dont ruin the party.

For Gods sake the Mafia ran Storey and Clark Countries for decades.
The Mafia lawyer was our Mayor.

Dont let these fake laws make you tip toe around like a crackhead, its all good here.

There were actually laws that wouldn't allow blacks to own Casinos but Sammy Davis and Micheal Jackson had a piece of Suma Corporation at one time. That was the Howard Hughes owned Mormon run group of Casinos. Like the Stardust, Sands Desert In and Frontier, Castaways too IIRC.
 
The only alcohol I really drink "regularly" is absinthe.

I have other stuff (scotch, gin, tequila, beer, wine) in certain situations, but if it's a choice, it's absinthe all the way. I don't really enjoy any other straight alcohol, or mixed drink, as much as a cold glass of absinthe.
Like tequila, absinthe (once outlawed in the US and Europe), has its own special high. A French restaurant in my neighborhood sells absinthe fountains. I would never have bought one had I not been under the influence of absinthe. But I was and I did so I am (drinking it with regularity).

1000+ images about Absinthe Fountains & Fountain Sets on ...

Tear of a Komsomol Girl [cocktail recipe]
Lavender Toilet Water 15 g.
Verbena 15 g.
Herbal Lotion 30 g.
Nail Polish 2 g.
Mouthwash 150 g.
Lemon Soda 150 g.
 
I recently discovered a new drink mix i like quite a bit: rum, dr pepper, and gingerbread flavoring. All 3 of these flavors blend nicely together. Since the gingerbread flavoring is involved, it's somewhat of a holiday flavor but can still be enjoyed all year round.

How do you get your drink on?
Dude, that's a college teen drink. Do ya chase it with some wine coolers before the big game?
