What's everybody drinking tonight?

[Aristus]

Having some pizza and drinking with Will Shakespeare. Ask us anything.

I gave will a nice imported Scottish ginger beer to try.

"Nice, that, lad. Sweet and yet tart. Like a gingery slap o' th'tongue".

[HERVEPA]

[Aristus]

4. What kind of a kick does that have?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

And it's good with Oreos.

[Aristus]

[Aristus]

10. Yeah, I have to work tomorrow, too. So I'm not going crazy.

But I have the house to myself, so I wanted to at least get a little buzz-on...

[flamin lib]

11. TX blended whisky.

Distilled in Ft Worth and available in Texas and NOLA only. Smooth with vanilla accents and a hint of wood and pecan. A couple ounces can last an hour or so. A lot of nose and a smooth burn at the end.

If you enjoy spirits and have a Texas contact you can trust not to drink it give it a try!

[Aristus]

12. Now you're talking!

I was afraid wasn't going to be able to get anyone to drink with me...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I'm sorry to disappoint you and Will, my dear Aristus...

I had water with dinner!

Now, Saturday........then I will be drinking!

We're hosting a family party to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary!

There's a nice bottle of wine waiting for that.

[Aristus]

14. Congrats, CalPeg, on your Golden Anniversary!

Will says: "Pegeen, lass! Oceans of love to you, angel mine! I kiss my hand at thee, most uxorious bloom! And most tender greetings I give to your fortunate swain. So long in love! So long in bliss! As friend to friend, I kneel at thy feet!"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Ah! I thank you both!

Dear Will! What flowery and eloquent words from thee! I thank thee from the depths of my o'er wrought heart!

I thank you as well, dear Aristus!

My original plans for the evening fell through, so now I'm just having good old booze...

[ailsagirl]

23. Apple cider on the rocks...

yum

[Aristus]

24. High-octane or kid's-strength?

Hey, ailsagirl! Haven't seen you in a while...

[ailsagirl]

25. Hi Aristus!! I'm still around (doing my share of lurking)

Nothing high-octane-- in fact, I shouldn't even be drinking apple cider because it's loaded with sugar.
I've sworn off Coca-Cola after finding out how freaking unhealthy it is.

It's hard for me because I hate tea and coffee-- beer and wine-- weird, huh? I just never developed a taste
for them.

[Aristus]

26. Okay, well; just don't overdo it.

(He said, just having finished an entire bottle of wine single-handedly...). I tell all my patients, even the ones with diabetes, than an occasional treat is okay.

I remember when I was a kid, my Dad would give me a sip of his beer, or my mother would give me a taste of wine, and I hated it; I thought it was awful, and wondered how they could drink it.

Well, I found out how.

My ancestry is Welsh, Scots, Irish, English, and French, so it was more or less inevitable...

[ailsagirl]

27. I think I've already overdone it!!

My ancestry is not nearly as multi-faceted as yours. I'm just Scots and English-- but mostly Scots

And when I was a kid, my Dad allowed me to finish off the froth of his beer-- I loved it. You'd think I'd be a real beer freak, but no. Maybe I got it out of my system early. ??

Wine always tasted sour.

[shanti]

40. i share the same ancestry

with some german and dutch mixed in as well, and yes, it was pretty much inevitable, lol! i hated the taste as a kid too, but my sis and bro liked it straightaway, and used to sneak booze from the parents' liquor cabinet.

i really didn't acquire a taste for liquor until i was in my late 20's, but that age has come and gone. now, it's usually rum or vodka when i drink, cause i don't care for beer and wine unfortunately, gives me stomach pain.

28. Sipping a bit of Mezcal and playing guitar.

[DFW]
