So... share your alcoholic discoveries in this room. Lately, I found Tito's has been replacing Stoli's as my vodka of taste. 
But also, Costco has these fucking popsicle alcohol treats that are the bomb.

Links seem broke. Copy and paste, you lazy assholes. 

What if I don't drink?  I recently put together some fresh made limeade with some cran-grape cocktail and that was a nice flavour blend.

Well, that sounds like a drink to me, right? 
I'd add vodka. But... it doesn't mean it isn't a drink *without* the vodka. 

Yeah, Some of the best drinks I ever had were made by bartenders who appreciate the challenge of making a tasty drink sans alcohol.

We invented a restaurant game called "The Mystery Drink Game" and you can play this with any server.

Rules: They make a drink, they're not allowed to put anything in it they wouldn't drink, and you can specify other things if you have a reason, like I don't drink alcohol.  You guess what's in the drink, and if you correctly identify all elements you don't pay for it.

The most challenging opponent I ever had also works as a bartender.  She really knew how to mask flavours.

That is a pretty cool game, actually. 

If you haven't tried the Vodka Martini pops from Costco - I recommend them for poolside starters on hot summer days.

Then you enter a message in the next room. Then you GOTO the next room. 

Beers you should try...
In Arizona... 
Kilt Lifter by Four Peaks
East of the Mississippi

Holy shit, I spelled that right. 

Anyhow... 

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel (you can get it it in El Paso). 

Yuengling. They're just another Bud or Coors, but they're a unique Pennsylvania brand that is a tasty by the pool kinda summer beer with the profile of a Sprite. Good, refreshing, not too heavy, and kind of like a pop. 

This is just a start. Add your own favorites. Let's make a comprehensive list of drinks, liquor, beer or otherwise. 

Here we would talk about what alcohol we're getting through the apocalypse on. Have you had Screwball, the Peanut-butter flavored whiskey, yet? I find it quite pleasant. I am also drinking a lot of Michelob Ultra. It makes me less fat. It takes a lot of it to get me drunk, though, which is expensive. 

"Old Smokey" salted caramel whiskey.

It's hard to find but it is sooooo good.

We've been drinking a lot of Skrewball lately. It is the Peanut Butter parallel to Fireball, I guess... a sugary easy to drink flavored whiskey you'll drink too much of because it tastes like dessert and wake up hating yourself for it in the morning. But... it is tasty. No doubt. 

lol I don't drink but I enjoy hearing other people talk about drinking so I'm probably a perma-lurker in here

My friend has gotten into top shelf whiskeys that are 130 proof and taste a little bit like chemicals from a wood stripping facility. You can't even "sip" them, and your throat closes like it KNOWS it is a bad idea, and you get an instant lump in your upper chest where your esophagus is agreeing with your throat and trying to reverse the process of swallowing this fire. Literally, this is what was going on this weekend. It is all terribly expensive, too. 

Then he calls me a pussy for melting some ice cubes in it. :)

I bring the Irish to the party. :) 

So... this is my version of a Hermit's shack. 

I'm just going to sit here and get drunk and post things I find interesting and talk to myself... 


Maybe this is experimental art. 

It is like Facebook, without affirmation from people who I don't really care what they think of me, anyhow.
