Drinking [NOT 5/10/24]

No wrong answers, I think. What is your go to beverage of choice when you want to relax?

Earl Grey Tea? Like Jean Luc Picard?

Beer?

Or even an ice cold glass of water?

For myself it used to be a beer, but I have become more of a teatotaller. Then it was a soda/pop but then I had high blood sugar to deal with. Now it is either water or Clamato Juice.

  1. when i want to relax?

    oh man….rum and coke….and a joint

    that was the evening routine when i lived with my aunt….watch ab fab and get fucked….good times

    its all about the company man…rum and coke dont hit the same alone….neither does beer

    on the upside tho….i dont really need to relax

    pretty chill me….the worlds shit just glides off of me

  2. Having spent my entire day harvesting my hops and brewing a fresh hop ipa, I should probably say beer.  Fun fact, should be in Yakima at the Fresh Hop Festival tonight but I got screwed on my VIP ticket so went to a mini one at a local brewery yesterday.  I like a good beer or fine wine equally & that is best thing for relaxation for me.

    • The problem for me with beer is I have to pee too much. But I just put in a vote for coffee, and that’s just about as bad.

      • beer pees are a safety valve

        is almost impossible to drink yourself into hospital on beer….

        even for a thirsty fucker like me…

        • I was on a five hour bus ride with my team and a ton of cases and the bathroom was a problem. Things weren’t too good when I finally got back.

      • That’s why they say you don’t buy beer, you just rent it.  I can drink a lot of beer before I have to pee but once I open the floodgates, it becomes an issue.

  3. Counterintuitively, black coffee.

    If it’s late, decaf, but black coffee still hits the spot.

    • Black coffee is my go-to.  Anytime, day or night.  It does not keep me awake.

  4. beer & whisky. situationally, sometimes grappa.

    • I have a bottle of grappa I picked up a few years agofor cheap from a store that was shutting down. I’ve been saving it for so long I can’t remember anything about it.

      [gets up from counch, opens cabinet…]

      Looks like it’s this stuff. Not too bad for an impulse buy.

      • I have really cool grappa glasses I bought at a restaurant outlet store but only used them twice so far.  I like grappa but definitely a special occasion thing.

    • Scotch was reserved for really shitty days. Surprised I didn’t have many of those.

  5. College football is officially broken. Last week Alabama beat Georgia. This week freaking Vanderbilt beat Alabama.

    • College football has always been broken & unfair.  I love when teams that pay players money that other colleges can’t offer, lose!  Fuck Alabama & the whole SEC.  ESPN & the lazy old media destroyed the PAC12 because they can’t stay up past 10pm!  Fuck all of them!

      • And to add to that as I watch the Huskies get revenge for last year.  Fuck Michigan too!

    • That’s like Canada beating Brazil in Footie or Brazil beating Canada in hockey.
