Iāve been thinking about digging out the cognac tonight. I havenāt had any of it in a long time.

Tea. Tea must take up 90% of my beverage intake, not counting water.
Well my parents just got back from a Caribbean cruise for their wedding anniversary and brought me back a bottle of Guavaberry Liqueur from St. Maarten & Chairmans Reserve Rum from St. Lucia so Iām gonna try that tonight. Iāve had the rum before, my brother brought me back a bottle last year when he was there for his anniversary. Its a really good rum. But usually its a couple finger of bourbon. During the day its iced tea as well.
My drink of choice is Bloody Mary. Vodka brands donāt matter to me, and I was using a ready made Bloody Mary mixer, but last time I just used V8 Spicey Hot, and that was just as good. I only drink once a week, usually Fri or Sat, and I drink quite a bit.
Harpās Lager tonight. But I got a 750ml of Chimay Cinq Cents Ale Iām saving for the weekend.
ive been sitting on a very nice barleywine which is at 12% and has been aging for nearly a year. I will be soon doing a questionaire around august and whomever wins wins a 12 pack courtesy of me of homebrew. Its delicous I promise, also please remember my forum tag as in a year I will be out west in the USA and will soon open my own brew-pub here in the south-east and you all would be the first to sample my product
where in the southeast?
IN West Central Goergia. The market for such business is in the west but its slowly creeping east. This my only chance to jump on a fad thats just really catching on. Out west the beer styles are ground breaking in their design but here in the east its kinda an unexploited market.

Then your sins may be cleansed . And just out of curiosity , socially speaking around where you live , how much drink is āa littleā , āgetting tipsyā , and āreally drunkā. Also what quantities do the local bars serve ( how much in a mug / shot). Iām not drinking anything tonight , need a sharp mind this whole month. No exceptions.
I ended up not having any cognac tonight. Oh well, maybe another day.
I donāt know, Grim. In the mid ninties I could throw a stone in any direction and hit a brew pub or a microbrewery. Thatās just here in tiny Delaware. Quite a few more in the mid-atlantic region too. New England had even more! I took a bicycle tour after college and traveled up the coast and into Canada. We stopped at every darn one of those things! Now sadly, weāve lost most of the ones we had here. I think we have 2 or 3 brewpubs left in the state, and 2 microbrews. SE Pennsylvania has a world class one not far from here, Victory. I do look forward to trying your own brews, though, and I wish you luck with your pub. It has long since caught on around here, and this is definatley the East Coast.

I start my day with coffee and thatās the last drink before I go to bed. Iām addicted to alcohol and quit drinking on the 24th of December 1993 So for the last 15years 4 months and 28 days I did not touch the stuff. I have nothing against anyone who likes a drink because itās me who have a problem, not other people. My closest, very good friend, who is more like a brother to me than a friend, enjoys some wine with his food, always have some when we eat together. No big issue for me. So, I bid you all happy drinking! But please donāt drink while you are driving. Stop at the roadside, finish your drink, and then continue. You might spill some of your drink if you drink while driving and dry cleaning is expensive these days.
LOL Pieter!
My best buddy, who passed on I guess 9 yrs ago, at under 40, was a very bad alcoholic, and was fall down drunk almost every day. He was the greatest guy ever, but could also be a total sob drunk. But we met at a job, and our interest at the time was drinking. We also later became great friends and shared many interests and adventures. He would have really taken to snuff too, if we had known about it then. But yeah, alcohol is what did him in, I believe. Now Iāll get really drunk, but only on the weekend and I donāt have to work the next day, and I donāt drive at all if I have drank. I am usually home, or at one of my friends home, with plans of either a non-drinker driving me home, or a couch to sleep on. So, some people just should not drink at all. I have known quite a few, to where if it didnāt kill them, it ruined their lives. I have used Tobasco and Worchestershire in my Bloody Marys. But I am just not sold on the āqualityā vodka thing, since I saw this TV show that substituted cheap vodka in some ritzy place and no one could tell the difference.
Iām basically a beer drinker. For many years I would drink to get drunk, as often as could afford it. About 5 years ago I started limiting myself, to once per week, every Saturday. I would always go to the same beach front tiki bar, where every one knew me and my nickname was āSaturday Mark.ā I would take the bus there and my bartender buddy would always make sure I got into a familiar cab and even knew my address to tell the cab driver. As i got older it started taking me longer to recover and I started getting tired off feeling like crap for two or three days. Luckily I was always a happy or VERY quiet drunk. I never got got nasty or into trouble, I mostly just got incoherent. Now Iām basically a āvacation drunk.ā I plan 3 or 4 vacations a year where I get a room in a resort with a cool tiki bar and I basically drink almost each day. I always drink Miller Light! Sorry if this is TMI, but it kind off feels good āsharingā
