Drunk Thread: CoG style.

[evilgoodwin]

I have an odd bruise on my right elbow. The sad thing is, I remember not having it Saturday night before drinking, and I remember it being there after the bar closed. I don't know how it got there.

[resikel]

Friday night, we got back to my friend's apartment and I managed to hobble to the kitchen sink and threw up, twice. Then I passed out on her living room floor with shit on my shoes.

[MagGnome]

I think some of you guys have a drinking problem. -_-

I agreed. The problem is that we only drink on weekends.

Speaking of good times and hangovers, I spend a solid monday through friday getting smashed in Vegas last week.

My first night was spent on an inflatable pool toy with a dirty pool towel draped over me to trick my drunk brain into think I had blankets. The second night was spent in the pillow lined bathtub of our room in Caesar's Palace. Cool idea in theory, but incredibly uncomfortable in practice. Also, accidentally kicking the faucet on is less funny than it sounds. I couldn't sleep, so I read Vonnegut's Slapstick in it's entirety while my hangover slowly took over.

Thankfully, the next two nights were spent in a real bed. My buddy drew the short straw, so he got to enjoy the pillow bed we'd made out of the ~50 free pillows we ordered over the course of the week. This was a great victory, so I decided to celebrate it by pounding down an assortment of Mind Erasers and Car Bombs over the course of the evening with a nice expensive cigar to wash it all down.

All and all, I spent about 200 dollars for a week long stay and the majority of it was lost at the Roulette table. Not bad for my first time in Vegas.

This is bizarre, my mate was talking about that exact routine in the car earlier.

[Mr. Murphy]

Guys, I got drunk. On Mexican swill.

I've been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum and I think it may be the greatest, most well crafted game of all time. So good. Also: Batman. How cool is that guy?

A: Pretty cool.

It's dark in here and now I'm watching Sons of Anarchy in one window and playing Dragon Warrior 3 on an NES emulator in another. I always feel vaguely ashamed when I play old video games that I've beaten a dozen times before. I could be doing something new. I could at least be playing the DeJap translation of the SNES remake, but nooooooo I wanted full-on, slow paced NES glory.

Man, those pixels are just so good. So good. Look at all the pixels.

Everyone is asleep except for a bunch of you in a bunch of threads I could care fuck-all about.

Did I ever tell you how wrong you are? Well I should have.

I love you man.

I think that about sums it up.

[Mr. Murphy]

This is my favorite hangover song.

RLiuPRMJy8

I heard a hippy singing it outside the Borders where I worked once, and asked him to sing it for me every day for a week afterwards. It was one of the experiences that showed me how much I wanted to be able to do that kind of thing. If you can sing at all, and play the guitar at the same time, you will never be broke. You can travel to a big city anywhere in the US and make enough money to eat and sleep off of. That, to me, is incredible freedom.

[J Arcane]

Woo! I've got three pints of Strongbow in me, and the first good buzz I've managed in literal years.

Now I'm listening to Bill Bailey and Tim Minchin songs. For some reason Brit/Aussie comedy appeals to me when in the depths of a cider binge.

[Karak]

Well I can't drink/

but I have a shitston of drugs in me fro my surgery. ending in Oxile and oton and odone.

And I am playing Jade empire.

I also had a sandwich.
Not sure that counts as postworthy but it was ham and cheese on a hamburger bun with a dill pickle in the center and it was glorioouds!

[J Arcane]

I bought a nice wagyu NY strip and some local farm-raised bacon today and was gonna do that, but when I realized I had Strongbow to drink tonight I said fuck it and got a pizza instead. Salami & Italian sausage with green pepper and olive on thick rust from Papa Murphy.

[J Arcane]

Now I'm listening to "Creep" because when I'm drunk I get the urge to play Rock Band but I sold the PS3 we had it for. The guys at the computer shop and I played shit out of that while heavily inebriated quite often.

[Karak]

I am listing to my wife resite the porn titles I have in my adult folder hahahahaah. It is much funneir when a woman says them.

You have done quite well without drink. Your posts last night were priceless.

I say we pump Karak full of drugs on a regular basis. We could make a webseries.

[evilgoodwin]

Tonight will be the fourth in a marathon of drinking. But it's for good reason: to get the number of the girl who agreed to see a movie with me!

Also, because I think I levelled up my boozemancer skills. I should feel WAY more hungover than I do right now. I'm drinking like a 20 year-old again!

[Libuke]

boozemancer skills

Mine should be really high then. I spent a week in Vegas and am going out tonight again (at home). I didn't really get actually drunk many times in Vegas though. Lots of drinking just spaced out throughout the day.

I didn't drink nearly as much there as I thought I was going to.

Edit: Good luck with the number collection.

[Squidbot]

Drank the best part of a bottle of Jim Beam while doing my first DJ set for a local internet station. Apart from microphone problems it was great and now I'm pretty sloshed! YAY!

[Shieldmaiden]

it's nearly 5:30 and I'm nicely buzzed. I've been up all night with my bro, knocking back beers and watching How I Met Your Mother.

Yeah, your comments on it were one of the reasons I started watching it. It just happened that my brother had all the episodes on his laptop, so we hooked it up to the big tv. We tend to do stupid shit when we're both visiting home.

Well tonitghs gonna be another one. They got me filled with piping hot drugs again tonight. Last 3 night s actually...

Good stuff. Eye doesnt hurt. infat nothing hurts. Which is good because I went hout and stubbed my fucking toe trying to wash the car. THen the neighbor kept asking me while i was washingit in the dark at 1030

I had no answer and still dont. Fucking car had been dirty for days and I have driveway lights...fucking neighbor

To add to my shame i spent like 250.0 on amazon in the last hour.only to realize whem my wife informed me that i fucking already had what I just bought:(

[J Arcane]

Uuuungh. I should not drink dark beers.

[MagGnome]

I had the most perfect evening. Beer and two mixed drinks, one scotch and dandelion soda (not a good mix) and the other vodka and dandelion soda (yummy) played a big part. Thank you, glorious alcohol, for contributing to what has been the happiest night I've had all year. :)

The dandelion soda was homebrewed by a wonderful guy. :)

I haVE stirred at this four 4 times and still don't know if its cause of the meds or not that im reading about danelion soda:confused: WTF is that?

[MagGnome]

First of all, it's dandelion SODA, not "soup" like you posted on my wall. :p

It's soda made with dandelions. My friend brewed it. He was trying to make a dandelion beer, but something went wrong and it didn't ferment. It's extremely carbonated though, so we had to open it over the sink and watch as half of the bottle geysered out, haha. It's really tasty. It tastes like a more herbal 7-UP.

[resikel]

I have a friend that has his own brewery. One of his own brewed beer has rose pedals in them. I didn't have a chance to taste it because it wasn't ready at the time.

Ha ha, it was delicious. :) We mixed it with vodka and ate some pizza. It's not like we lit some incense and ate special forest mushrooms. ;)

[carnage11]

Dandelion Soda sounds like the gayest drink in the world. :p

Speaking of special forest mushrooms. My wife and I ate some psilocybe cubensis mushrooms last night. We had a BLAST! :D:D:D

Why did I put this in the drunk thread you ask? Well....because there is no magic mushroom thread....

[Shieldmaiden]

I'm assuming that dandelion and burdock isn't a common soda over there then.

[Matthias]

They really need to sticky this thread so I don't have to spend 5 minutes searching for it...

Sweet tea vodka is amazing. A slutty Arnold Palmer is a glorious thing.

It does doesn't it? It's actually freaky, psychedelic, hard rock.

Holy shit I forgot I made it to this thread last night.

[KamaItachi]

I'm just back from a night out with my big brother. We discussed topics from my dad to Emo Phillips to our own interpretations of the various Blade Runner movies.

I haven't had a night out like this in ages and now have Billy Joel running through my head for a number of reasones.

Presently tooo drunk to go to bed. Apparently, unlike Australia, Belfast women are immune to my Belfast Accent, for some reason, and see fit to kick me out at regular closing times.

The Moral of the story is that Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, the Marx Brothers and Tony Hancock are all much funnier than Paul Hogan.

I will regret this post in the morning

I find that as I ease off on my drinking habits as I get older that I'm turning into a lightweight.
3 pints of cider drunk over a 1 and a half hour period has my head spinning. The fact that it's now 8:22pm and I am yet to eat anything today probably doesn't help.

Still...3 pints. My younger self is shaking his head in shame right now.

[Shieldmaiden]

I got absolutely smashed last night. I would have posted for your amusement, but I was at a party in the middle of a field. Instead of the usual "get drunk round the fire talking bollocks" that we usually engage in, it all went a bit crazy with lots of music, dancing and about half a dozen of us standing around in our underwear engaging in boy vs girl dare-type shenanigans. There was much boobage (and not just my hairy moobs,) making out and vodka jelly.

[MagGnome]

I am stone-cold sober. I should have picked up some beer today.

[carnage11]

Grabbed me a sixer of some Sam Adams Winter Lager on my way home from work tonight. Just cracked my first one.

Just smoke a bowl of some fine herb as well.

Didn't know they had Sam Adams on the west coast, that was always our "good beer" back home in Maine.

I remember the days when a sixpack was a good night. Nowadays it's just a good start.

[MagGnome]

They sell Sam Adams across then country as far as I know.

[Mr. Murphy]

It's not at any of the nearby gas stations out here in New Mexico. I have to drive thirty minutes to an Albertsons if I want to get anything decent. I'll check there, the next time I'm out - I could use a Sammy.

It's easy enough to find here in Los Angeles. Though last year's Winter Ale was sorta skunky. The six pack I got, as well as the keg at my local bar were horrible tasting.

But there's so many other good breweries out here too, so I tend to pick up stuff from Stone and Pike.

[carnage11]

As far as Sam Adams go, I enjoy the Fall and Winter brews, but I don't like the Spring or Summer Ales so much. I always look forward to the late year seasons, because the beer is so much better! :D


That sucks that it gets skunky by the time it gets over to the west coast. It's not the same way vice versa. I've gotten many a brew from the west coast and it's still good by the time it gets here.

[MagGnome]

For the first time in years, I bought something other than beer for home consumption. This stuff is like the nectar of the gods.

[Shieldmaiden]

Is anyone here capable of a "quick drink after work"? I went for a quick drink after work tonight, which was anything but quick and came in five pint glasses and involved a large mixed grill at some point.

[SilentScreams]

I used to do quick after work drinks all the time. I don't any more.

The reason for the change is that now whenever I drink even a pint or two of beer, I get the worst headaches imaginable. It's like getting a hangover headache without the actual getting drunk and going to sleep part.

One thing that always got me is if I drank, I was fine as long as I kept drinking, but if I stopped I would have to fight through some serious fatigue. So drink a after work usually meant a night of drinking or a 9pm bed time. Even a single drink could cause this unless I was physically active while or immediately after drinking.

[Lithium Flower]

There's nothing nicer than coming home from work on a hot summer day to nice cool glass of vodka tonic with slice of lemon!

Everyone has that certain liquor that they over induldged on as a youth, spent many hours at the toilet as a result and now their stomach churns at the thought of ever having a again. For many its tequila, for me, it's vodka. Me and vodka used to be good friends, then I had a really really really stupid night and now me and vodka are no longer on speaking terms.

I got a taste for whiskey ( Canadian, not that borbon shit you Americans drink ) and as an avid beer drinker, I can tell you a good whiskey is a great experience, especially once you start drinking them neat or at worst, on the rocks. You actually learn to enjoy it on a different level, even the burn.

That said, only with good rye or Irish whiskey, any thing else and mix it is!

[civil_dead]

For me that liquor I couldn't drink for a while was gin. But not because I got overly drunk. No, it was because on two separate occasions two girls broke my heart while they were sipping a gin drink. Psychologically for a long time afterward I couldn't touch the stuff without getting all emo and shit.

On a related note: girls who drink gin can go to hell.

When I came of drinking age ( so, like 14 in Canada ), lemon gin was the panty remover drink of choice.


People who didn't like booze but wanted to get drunk ( so at that age, pretty much everyone) drank Lemon Gin, Southern Comfort or Cherry Whiskey. Little did they realize, each of those is a prebottled hangover thanks to the high sugar content.

[SilentScreams]

Tequila is my no-go drink. I have a scar on my chin as a permanent reminder to never touch the stuff again.

Whiskey is definitely my drink of choice. Rock Hill Farm specifically. Jack Daniels Single Barrel is pretty nice too.

Ug Jacks. Gentleman Jack is the only edible variant I have ever encountered. Otherwise its like drinking smoked corn that someone pissed on after eating a plate of asparagus

[SilentScreams]

The regular Jack Daniels is cheap, which is the only reason I ever drink it. Single Barrel is nice though.
If given the choice I'd pick Rock Hill Farms every time though. I love that stuff.

Once imported to Canada Jacks isn't cheap anymore. Its like Harley Davidson, people pay full price for an inferior product because of the image/brand. If it was cheap, that would be a different story, as our cheap whiskey border on being a crime against humanity.

I was referring to the whisky liqueur you posted earlier!

I can't really decide between vodka and whisky. Neat/straight - definitely whisky but I like the versatility of the former.

[SilentScreams]

Vodka is good purely because you can put it in a freezer and unless it's cheap crap it won't freeze up. You just get nice cold drinks without having to dilute them with ice.

The first time I ever drank tequila was in Vegas. That night was a lot of fun, as was the second time I drank tequila, in Chicago. The last two times (both in Minneapolis), were both terrible nights. I haven't touched it since.

I'm talking about straight tequila, by the way, not margaritas or anything like that.

Oh, the Drambuie? It's wonderful stuff, although it's much sweeter than most whiskey or scotch.

I got a drink with my ex in between not speaking and being in love once, and I asked what she was having. The glass was full, so when she said "gin" I thought she meant gin and tonic. No, she meant gin. A glass full of gin.

I had one too, because I wasn't gonna let her be more hardcore than me.

My above stupid-drunk-waking-up-in-the-shower-Armenian-cab-ride-home drunk was courtesy of several bourbon/lemonades with some craft lagers mixed in to my drinking for maximum pain

Drinking a bunch of beer and liquor in the same night is not a good idea, as you are no-doubt now aware.

[Superman's Dead]

Drinking a bunch of beer and liquor in the same night is not a good idea, as you are no-doubt now aware.

I've known for a long time. But here's what happens:

1)I decide what I'm drinking. That night, it was bourbon.
2)I have a few.
3)I think, "Well, it's time to switch over to a nice mellow beer."
4)I have a few more.
5)"MAN I SURE MISS DRINKING BOURBON. CAN YOU MAKE ME ONE IN A PINT GLASS?"
6)I died.

[SilentScreams]

Mine usually goes:

1) Decide what I'm drinking. Usually either bourbon or cider.
2) Run into some friends while out, or meet some new people.
3) Get drinks bought for me that are never what I was drinking before.
4) Drink them because it would be rude not to.
5) Pain. Blood. Tears. Hangover.

[Shieldmaiden]

1) Have they got any decent ales on tap?
2) Any decent rum or whiskey?
3) Decent cocktail menu?
4) Rum and coke.
5) Change drinks at random.
6) Greasy kebab/pizza/chicken on the way home.
7) Wake up feeling awesome.

[SilentScreams]

Maybe that's my problem. I always skip the kebab these days.

[Shieldmaiden]

I always make sure I have something to eat and a couple of pints of water before I go to bed drunk.

[Superman's Dead]

I always make sure I have something to eat and a couple of pints of water before I go to bed drunk.

Yeah, usually I'm pretty okay and do the same (when I woke up I had an opened but untouched bottle of water sitting on my desk), but when I get reckless it is...pretty awful. I've really only had maybe 5 terrible hangovers in my life, and that was one of them

[Kielaran]

I always make sure I have something to eat and a couple of pints of water before I go to bed drunk.

Aye. Water is key. Also the drunk food, be it kebab, gyro, etc., help out a ton.

[OUX]

A multi-vitamin and a gatorade always makes for a good morning.

[MagGnome]

Well the semi-date I was supposed to go on tonight flaked out on me...jerk. So instead I've made hot cocoa with Drambuie, the nectar of the gods, once again. I'm planning on sipping a mug or two of this while I watch a movie or explore Skyrim. :)

[SilentScreams]

Cocoa and whiskey? That is not a combo I would have ever thought of.

[MagGnome]

Drambuie is a liquer made with honey, scotch, and various spices. It's quite sweet, and it goes well with cocoa. A friend of mine suggested it, and it's heavenly.

Edit - I just realized you probably know what Drambuie is, since it's bottled in Edinburgh.

[SilentScreams]

I know it by name, although I've never tried it. I thought it was just regular whiskey though.

Still, weird combo. I'm intrigued. :)

Bourbon served by the pint is the way I typically kick off an evening of drinking. Then, I'll follow it up with a few beers or ciders of choice. I don't think I have ever experienced a hangover; just a bit of cottonmouth the next morning.

[MagGnome]

I know it by name, although I've never tried it. I thought it was just regular whiskey though.

Still, weird combo. I'm intrigued. :)

You should try it sometime.

I know that other people put just regular whiskey in their hot cocoa as well. Kahlua would work nicely too, I'm sure. Or Bailey's!

[Libuke]

My I guess typical night if I am going hard. If not hard then it is just beer usually.

1. Ceasers or two (sorta a version of a bloody Mary for you Americans, not sure if Briton or elsewhere they have Bloody Mary's). Sometimes this is skipped but they are never added later.
2. Beer
3. Whatever shots get bought by others and myself
4. Usually switch to gin and tonic or spiced rum and coke at some point
5. Back to beer
6. Go home sleep (I never get food) and wake up usually before 9, no matter what time I went to bed, feeling fine though I am usually tired some time in the afternoon.

I usually only get hangovers if I drink wine, so I don't very often. Mixing other stuff has never bothered me. I also have no booze that I have a gag reflex for. So I will drink anything.

I make the best hot chocolate in the world. It probably contains more Baileys than any other ingredient.

[Libuke]

Got corked at my cousin's. Fun times? What I remember was fun.

All I know is that my two-six is empty this morning and I drank more then that since we were playing rum pong, instead of beer pong since we had no beer around us so we put rum in the glasses, at some point.

P.S. is it wrong to want my cousin's friend?

[torrefaction]

I had probably the best drink of my life last night. It was a twist on an old fashioned. Replace sugar with maple syrup, and sub in cherry bitters. Im going to attempt to reconstruct this glorious cocktail at home.

Ah, I'm less confused now.

Here's a purist version from the wiki:

David Embury's classic book published in 1948 provides a slight variation, also generally accepted among purists:
12 parts American whiskey
1 part simple syrup
1-3 dashes Angostura bitters
Twist of lemon peel over the top, and serve garnished with the lemon peel and a maraschino cherry.


My version would be Whiskey, Maple Syrup, Cherry Bitters, and Orange peel.

SO GOOD.

[MagGnome]

That does sound tasty. I've heard of old fashioned, of course, but I haven't actually had one.

So yeah. I knew full well that I had a limited amount of time to finish my final paper, but being the dickhole that I am, I got drunk instead and now I don't get to graduate, because there is no way in hell that I can finish this paper in my current state. i have nobody to blame buy my own bullshit habits and idiocy, so hey. No graduation. I'm drunk and I feel like shit because I dicked around all semester playing fukcing video games and drinking 3 nights a week.

If I could blame somebody, it would be that guy who bought me whiskey and told me that he has 3 weeks to live due to some inoperable tumor but it was my fault going to the bar tonight in the first place.

Drinking has its consequences, folks. Don't be the failure that I am.

[evilgoodwin]

Woah, whine much, me?

Do NOT get drunk on whiskey and hard cider. You will feel terrible. And you'll have the worst morning breath laced with a vague twinge of apples.

I will not graduate THIS semester. I will find out what I have to do to graduate next semester. All is not lost, and I think I'll be OK.

On the plus side, I have a good head start for this class next time.

[Superman's Dead]

Now that you've said that literally all I want to do is get drunk on whiskey and hard cider.

Hey Krispy, what's shaking? I'm also fairly toasty right now (about half a 750ml of the cheapest whiskey available), and more sad than I'd care to admit. Just chilling, drinking, and trying to find constructive ways to deal with this fucking pit in my stomach. I dunno if it helps particularly, but I'm here and that may be better than nothing.

[Shieldmaiden]

I've had a great evening with friends, am now a little drunk, drinkIng tea on a friend's sofa. Is good.

So, I just turned in the last mother fucking term paper I will ever have to write in my life and thus finished the last of my coursework for my PHD. Thus, I am having a drink, or two (or three).

But there is nobody at my regular watering hole, so I am drinking alone in this momentous occasion.

I am ow requesting ridiculious drink ideas. Nothing overly fruity or sweet please. I'm more of a bourbon and scotch kinda guy.

[MagGnome]

I wish I could have a drink in celebration of my Chem and Bio finals being over. I kicked butt on both of them.

Alas I procrastinated all of last week, and now I have six hours to turn in the entire last project for my health class. This won't be all that difficult, but it cuts out my valuable drinking time.

[maharahaj]

Here's one NOT to try which I recently did on a dare. A double shot of vodka mixed with cold chicken broth.

[EternalGamer]

Tonight was solid proof that I was not a burgeoning alcoholic as I had sometimes feared. I had not had a drink in about a week and when I told others of my accomplishment I recieved two shots and a drink added to the two I had already had.

I ended up, embrassingly, hugging the toilet. I now no longer feel I am a burgeoning alcoholic.

[SilentScreams]

I'm half tempted to try this; I have the ingredients in my kitchen.

Edit: Just tried it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The pickle juice really overpowers the taste/burn of the whiskey. But, I wouldn't do it again.

I'm waiting for this cold to fuck off so I can have celebratory beers with some of my friends. I've gone through most of college without making a lot of friends, but I think my semester in D.C. opened me up socially, because I've made quite a few good friends this semester. I'm kind of sad that next semester I won't really be on campus and thus a lot of the friendships will not be as strong.

I just want God to stop throat fucking me so I can enjoy a few beers with them before we all go our separate ways.

[MagGnome]

I hope you feel better soon so that you can have a drink!

I'm going out with my friends tonight to celebrate the end of the semester. We're going to the Red Dragon, which is known for shitty Americanized Chinese food and really strong, cheap drinks. It's going to be so much fun!

I got a 99.3% in my Biology class and a 98.1% in my Chemistry class overall. I am ready to celebrate. :D

You took Bio and Chem in the same semester, too? I did that like two years ago and it was the most miserable semester of my life. Chemistry was a five hour course on Wednesday nights. I'm so happy college is nearly complete.

One more six hour semester to go!

[MagGnome]

I actually liked taking them at the same time. I thought they were fun. :)

[carnage11]

Rumplemintz is good for people who don't like the taste of liquor. I used to drink the shit up back when I was like 16. The peppermint flavor masks the taste of alcohol pretty well. It mixes quite well with Jager as a double shot.

I can't stand the shit now, though. Once you've acquired your own taste, it's pretty unnecessary. I used to know a guy who carried around a Scope bottle filled with Rumplemintz. He was an alcoholic, and this was his way of "hiding" his habit while at work and what not.

[MagGnome]

I drank menthol-mint schnapps once, and I will never drink a mint-flavored liquor again. I threw it all up the next day, and for years after I couldn't even brush my teeth without gagging. I still feel ill when I think about anything mint-flavored.

[carnage11]

Haha, I'm the same way with cinnamon. When I was 18, I drank an entire bottle of Hot Damn! (cinnamon schnapps) and threw it all up the same night. Ever since, I can't chew Big Red gum, or use any kind of cinnamon toothpaste without getting sick to my stomach.:p

[MagGnome]

I love cinnamon. I really liked Goldschlager the first time I had it because of the cinnamon flavor.

[carnage11]

Goldschlager. Rumplemints. These are tame precursors to the worst puke-inducing, memory-losing substance known to man: Jagermeister. Ban all of these things.

[MagGnome]

The worst shot I ever tried was a Dead Nazi. I was out with a friend for her birthday and another guy (one who had a thing for her, in fact) bought her one. Who the hell thought of that awful shot?

I mentioned that double shot a few posts back. Though, I remember it being called a Sledgehammer or something.

Agreed.

That shot I had bought for me: Wild Turkey and Rumplemints was terrible.

I'm fasting today, as I do at the end of every semester as a sort of discipline regiment at the end of the semester and to put me in the right headspace to start getting back in shape after all the crap I have been feeding my body while I stress over papers.

But I think I might treat myself to a drink or two later tonight to help get through the last few hours of my fast. If I do, it will be straight bourbon or vodka. None of this "hide the alcohol" nonsense.

[Banacek]

So, what was your PhD in, if you don't mind me asking?

Renaissance Literature.

I'm not done yet, though. I'm just finished with all my coursework. Still have Comps in the Spring and defend my dissertation next Fall (I already have about 40 pages of it written).

[MagGnome]

That's Jager AND Rumple Minz. Puke times two.

Yeah, I took one sip and gagged. No thanks. That poor girl sat there sipping it for over an hour. I told her to just shoot it back and get it over with.


I'm going out for an end of semester celebration with some friends tonight. I can't wait. We're going to a total dive that has some really strong cocktails.

Cool. I would love to get a PhD, but I don't want to get into theoretical computer science. I like working and making money too much :)

[Banacek]

There is no lack of money for AI and formal philosophies in cognitive science.

I'd have to stop gambling on startups and find someone to pay for the education for me. Which means, not right now, but eventually I will be back to school. It is a life goal I'd like to obtain.

That would be really cool. However, I'm not sure if I can make it into my budget and teaching schedule in the Spring. It might be advantageous to me to to just do the meet up at next Fall's Penny Arcade, which I've thought about going to for a while.

Nevertheless, I'm definitely considering it. Would be fun if I can manage the resources (money and time).

Note: Things I knew but not to the degree I know now. Fasting all day = easier inebriation. 1 Bourbon was all it took.

The Red Dragon. Total dive in my area, but the drinks are pretty strong. They went up in price though. Honestly I recommend going to Psycho Suzie's instead. Not in my neighborhood, but it's an awesome bar.


EG - It would be great if you came to New York.

[MagGnome]

I'm there (Red Dragon) right now, and I feel kinda drunk. Debating another drink...

The drinks? The same price at happy hour $2.06 for all well drinks.

We may be number one in obesity, illiteracy, and poverty, but we know how to fucking drink.*

[Banacek]

Look into funded programs. You might not have to pay if you can really impress someone. I keep one foot in the UC door so that this opportunity is always open to me. My best advice is to sit in on classes you like and make friends with your professors and then write some kick ass papers. They'll back you up on applications since they all know each other and you'll have a good chance at landing a funded program.

Hmm, that is fantastic advice. Thanks.

I bought a bottle of red wine and some cheese tonight. I'm trying to *ahem* improve my palate.

That....I'm not sure I would classify that as improving your palette.

Wine can be a very personal thing...A lot of wine snobs will turn their nose downs at blends, but I think they showcase the best wine has to offer.

I'd try a Grenache, Morvedre, Shiraz or a Grenach, Morvedre, Cabernet. There's a lot of good blends along those lines that have great fruit overtones without being overly dry. I don't have any particular traditional wine I prefer, and I find it's very much by the bottle. Spend more than $10, and less than $30, and you'll usually be doing good. There's a lot of crap in that range too, so the best thing you can do is find something you like and branch out from there.

As far as cheese...break off from the craft. Try the Dubliner or some Smoked or Aged Gruyere. Those are pretty solid cheeses that aren't overly pungent. I personally can't do the bleu cheese much myself. And you can pretty much never go wrong with a good Brie. Havarti's pretty tasty too.

[MagGnome]

Brie...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

A good friend of mine bought me a bottle of The Balvenie Double Wood 12 year Single Malt Scotch. What a swell guy! :D

I figured I'd start cheap. I really don't like wine, but I'm always willing to try new things. I will take your suggestions. I've heard that matching cheese with some different kinds of beer works well too. Might try that out as well. Any excuse to drink alcohol is great in my book. :p

Actually, that reminds me. There's a brand of wine called something like Cheap Red Wine.

Okay, a serious question for some of the regulars here: If one were something of a heavy drinker for a few months and then they were to abruptly stop, is it normal for things to feel... wobbly? I mean, I feel like I’ve just stepped on a boat for the first time, and I find myself constantly grabbing onto things, just to steady them (and, of course, not toss my cookies).

Either that or, I don't know, I've picked up the flu or something.

Either that or, I don't know, I've picked up the flu or something.

Things are wobbly when you drink, or wobbly when you don't? That's an important distinction.

If it's the former, then your ability to process alcohol has likely decreased in the months that you haven't been drinking. If it's the latter, then you might be going through withdrawals?

[Generation ABXY]

The latter. I thought I stopped Friday, but it might have been Saturday (since I don't remember feeling out of sorts at all, then), and last night and today have just been weird.

[MagGnome]

It's either withdrawals or you are coming down with something. I hope it's the latter.

[Generation ABXY]

Yeah, looking it up now, a lot of places seem to indicate it takes years to develop a problem like that, so I must have caught something. That is indeed a load off.

EDIT:

What I was trying to say was that the Mrs and I were quite inebriated at her holiday work party. I was drinking both 9% beers and strong mixed drinks. The bartender is also this amazingly awkwardly beautiful woman with these large glasses and a biggish nose; a combination I found quite attractive. I'm now also starting to get a vague memory of busting out the pedophilia and bestiality jokes. God, I can be such a twat.

[EternalGamer]

So I went to this oyster bar just down the road from where I live last night. It has been there for at least four years but I have never been. And Patrick Stewart was serving me drinks. I discovered that you tend to drink more when this happens.

I ended up staying there for hours, racked up a monster bar tab, then I vaguely remember coming home and using Steam. I hope I didnt buy anything. Now it is 5AM and I'm wide awake, still a little tipsy, and have a smashing headache (and I never get hang overs).

That is the last time I buy drinks from Patrick Stewart and his oyster bar.

[EternalGamer]

I'm now also starting to get a vague memory of busting out the pedophilia and bestiality jokes. God, I can be such a twat.

Holy shit. So I'm not the only one. I vaguely recall making jokes about having sex with dead male puppies one night, or, as I was calling it then, pedo-necro-homo-beastiality. I think I kept asking people if they were in to pedo-necro-homo-beastiality.

Good grief, Civil! And some say I'm a sloppy drunk...

We shall see.

[carnage11]

Heaven help me, I think I actually *enjoy* Coors Light. Cheap and slides easily down the throat with little to no adverse effect.


- - -

Sent from a computational device that has no spellcheck, so cut me some slack!

Coors Light is actually my favorite of the cheap, light, American beers. Generally, I buy an 18 pack of Coors Light, but for the Bud Light was cheaper this time around, so I bought it. It's all swill that ends up in the toilet anyways. :p

[MagGnome]

I might be opening up that Scotch tonight. Either way I'm back in Minneapolis and can drink good beer again!

Also...I'm starting to get a taste for whiskey. I drank a fair amount of Crown Royal (on the rocks) in Nebraska and it was delicious.

Bourbon on the rocks is my regular drink. But Crown, while good, is too rich for my bank account. Evan Williams on the rocks does me just fine. :)

[MagGnome]

I still love beer, but I've started enjoying whiskey as well. Crown is so smooth...my family thought I was pretty cool for drinking it on the rocks without any water or soda. Adding soda to something like Crown seems a little silly to me.

Yeah, I'm with you on Crown regular. Generally if it's not aged at least 10+ years it's not that great.

Gibson's Finest Gold(never get silver, never) I find is a much better whiskey.

I finally got my Chalice!


All I have in the fridge is Budweiser. :(



It took a lot longer to get here than I thought.

Oh, I've had mine for a while, but I keep forgetting to pick up some Stella :D

[J Arcane]

I've just had a delicious nitro Obsidian Stout from the Deschutes Brewery pub, along with an awesome elk burger with bacon.

I am feeling lightly toasted. And after dessert of challah bread pudding, I will go to nerd store, and then to astronomy class.

This is a good day.

[MagGnome]

Deschutes makes some really fantastic beers. I'm envious that you're so close to their pub!

[Serapth]

I found Raftman in a local bar, which made me incredibly happy.

This be Raftman. From the Unibroue most of you know and love, this beer is much less popular than the rest of their line, which is a shame. To think I used to get it from my corner store when I lived in Montreal, and cant by the damned stuff anywhere now that I am in Ontario!

Its an Amber Ale from a peat smoked whiskey. It was amazingly good and my daily siper, although I hadn't had it in nearly a decade, I thought they stopped making it.

Finding it, and tasting it again, is a mixed emotion, as I am delighted to find this wonderful beer still exists, but sad at how hard it is to acquire! :(

[Serapth]

Nothing wrong with coors light.

I'm rather fond of this now. It's Canadian. Therefore, superiour to everything else on this mud ball.

http://boozenews.ca/nucleus/media/1/20080309-AmsterdamBlondeSR.jpg

That brewery is like a 10 minute walk from my Condo ( ironically though, I have to walk past Steam Whistle to get there. I am not a huge fan though, it's ok stuff, but nothing to right home about. Big Wheel is an ok summer beer, the Orange Weisse is a predictable but somewhat disappointing wheat beer ( whats with the putting citrus flavour in directly, thats just lazy ), and the rest of their lineup is downright forgettable.


All told though, Ontario microbrew is pretty hit or miss. There are some standout IPAs but I am so effing sick of IPAs that this is rather lost on me. Beaus is decent, as is Wellingtons, in the TO region, Port Credit is alright and most of Mill St is pretty fucking awful ( they make a good coffee porter if thats your thing, it's not mine ), but in the end, not a whole lot to write home about.


That said, compared to the rest of Canada, only Quebec is clearly superior ( they are easily the best beer makers in North America, let alone Canada ), with BC coming in about equal.

[J Arcane]

Seriously, the current obsession in the brewing world with bitter beer needs to fucking stop.

It's like some kind of competition for how bitter you can make a beer without inducing instant vomiting.

I want some fucking variety, not a beer list full of IPAs.

[Serapth]

Yeah, I'm not really understanding why IPAs are so freaking popular these days, but I agree completely, it would be nice to see that trend DIAF.

Stouts were another area that was obnoxiously overdone in craftbeer land recently, and given that I am not a big stout fan I doubly didn't like the trend.

[J Arcane]

See, here, stout is all but dead as a brew form, I just see ipa as far as the eye can see.

I'd also like to see more brewers getting into cider. I ficking love cider.

See, I think cider is tricky, in that it is guided by different laws. I seem to recall reading something about that, that there exist certain barriers to making cider because of it's "odd" status.

[carnage11]

I can't help but think these hoppy IPAs all taste like bile.

[MagGnome]

I love really hoppy IPAs. Stouts too. Yummy!

[Bone]

I am all about stouts and am OK with them being overplayed. At our local store I can grab 6 different stouts, chocolates, oatmeals, reg'ler, whatever... and make a night out of sampling awesome stouts.

IPAs, though, are the devil's piss. YMMV, IMHO, etc.

[evilgoodwin]

I think Stone is the only IPA that I didn't hate when I tried it. But it's still terrible :P

I'm also a cider fan, but it almost always gives me an instant headache.

[carnage11]

If you like chocolate stouts, then you must try Terrapin's Moo-Hoo. It is a chocolate milk stout and it is delicious.

[maharahaj]

Ciders are fantastic; never had a bad one. I rank the brewers I've had as follows (not taking into account actual flavors):
1) Doc's
2) Woodchuck
3) Magners (as smooth as water)
4) Strongbow

Hm. That sounds inter-- GIVE IT TO ME NOW OR I'LL KILL EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!!!

Eating al pastor tacos in the heart of downtown, my friend's CD release show is about to start and someone sober is driving me home. Free beers at the party? goodnight

Truly, you lead a charmed life.

Except in the mornings :(

[diablopath]

I feel too old to be getting drunk off of Jager.

I need a more classy liquid.

Welcome to whiskey. Jameson seems to be a popular choice among the service industry.

[carnage11]

Tried some of the new Bud Light Platinum. Whoo boy, you can't drink this shit like it's regular Bud Light. I am quite drunk after only 5.

[Squidbot]

Drunk.
I am it.
I recall stating, in a thread earlier today, that I would be in the drunk thread later. Later has happened.
I found this thread so I must be okay.

[MagGnome]

I showed a tremendous amount of willpower while grocery shopping after a couple of strong beers. I didn't buy a single bit of junk food, and I stuck to my list like a pro!

[J Arcane]

I'm not supposed to drink with my new meds. :(

[Serapth]

I'm not supposed to drink with my new meds. :(

Ohhh, that always makes it better!

[Backseat Killer]

I forgot how well good live music, good friends and good liquor go together! SXSW FTW :)

[torrefaction]

I'm jealous. Work got in the way of my ability to get out there.

[MagGnome]

Birthday parties, hooray! I've had beer, a swedish fish cocktail, home-brew beer, and whiskey. Plus lots of good food. Also gorgeous 70+ degree weather in March.

Now I'm enjoy a pleasant drunkenness and wishing I could get laid tonight.

[carnage11]

You could get laid Mags....it's the getting back up that's hard.



Don't mind me I'm still hungover....:p


I drank enough Guinness, I'll be shitting black tar for a week.

[roboninja]

My St. Patty's day was more filled with Jager than anything else. At least the bottle is green!

[EternalGamer]

It is 6 days before my comps and I'm stressed as fuck. I haven't had a drink in a week so after a day of studying (ok, four hours between lunch and Internet breaks) I went out for drinks tonight.

I will probably regret this tomorrow but I'm two bourbons in and feeling better. I need to decompress.

[J Arcane]

I have a new favorite drink. Bombay Sapphire and tonic with lime and a splash of Grenadine.

[MagGnome]

Oh, I will have to try that. It sounds tasty.

[J Arcane]

It is. And dangerous. One of them drinks that don't taste like its got any alcohol it.

[Panthera]

Bombay Sapphire was my choice of gin until one fateful night that ruined gin for me. I still have a bottle in the freezer, hopefully one day my stomach will stop churning at the thought of a sip.

[carnage11]

Gin makes my mouth water, and in a 'I'm gonna puke' way, not a 'oh that's delicious' way. :p



I tried the Southern Comfort Pepper this past weekend. Mixed it with some spicy V8. It was....meh. If you like Bloody Marys, you might like it. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else to mix it with. *shrug*



I ended up buying a 6'er of Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. 7.2% abv, rather hoppy beer. I've come to realize that I just don't care for IPAs.

[MagGnome]

I love Torpedo. Then again I enjoy IPAs.

[J Arcane]

Uuuunnnngh.

Still kinda drunk from last night.

Had a fucking blast though.

[carnage11]

I love Torpedo. Then again I enjoy IPAs.

Most bitter ass IPAs taste like stomach bile to me. It's just too acidic and gives me bad heart burn. Stone comes to mind.

[MagGnome]

Oh man, Stone IPA is pretty good.

You just have terrible taste in beer. :p

[carnage11]

Yeah, IPAs get a lot of love on BeerAdvocate. I'll only drink them if they are high abv. Otherwise, I prefer stouts, porters, or lagers. I had a cappuccino stout a few weeks ago that poured like tar and tasted strong like black coffee. It slapped me in the face, and I begged for more. :o

[MagGnome]

Oh my!

I like most styles of beer. The only ones I don't generally care for are sours.

[Serapth]

I just got back from Jamaica, previous to going I found Red Strip to be foul piss. However, in Jamaica, its amazingly good.

Now that I am back again, I got a Red Stripe again and it's back to foul piss status, amazing how that works.


It was kinda shocking, but Red Stripe and Red Stripe light were literally the only beer available on the resort and the one restaurant we went to.

[maharahaj]

Oh my!

I like most styles of beer. The only ones I don't generally care for are sours.

Did you get a chance to finally try a Yuengling lager when you were on the East Coast?
