3. Just finished my 2nd bottle of homemade apple wine...
It seemed appropriate to read the latest DiscWorld paperback with.

10. Ewwww
the last time I drank home-made apple wine I got nasty stomach problems.

The details would violate the DU rule against the discussion of bodily functions :puke:

21. Yeah, it seems to do that to some people.
Maybe from the live yeast? I dunno.

But I can drink a gallon with no trouble,
while 2 small sips gave Sweetie problems
like those you mentioned. For several hours.

Oh well, more for me, right?

24. you are welcome to it.
I'll take my friend's uncle's home made, 10yr old Blackberry Brandy.

OMG! This is the same friend that I made the apple wine with (we experimented with many concotions that summer, some good, some nauseous) - this brandy was outrageous!

We split a 750ml bottle of it and were TOSSED!

5. If I had the ingredients for a good bloody mary, I'd make one.
But I don't, so I think I'll abstain completely. My STBE husband is on a rampage of assholishness and I don't want to give him any excuses to criticize me further. Plus, I just don't feel like it :)

11. It's okay, par for the course.
What is that drink, the one with pepper? It's what made me crave the bloody mary.

13. Smithwick's is Ireland's Oldest Ale.
This guy that hangs out at the same bar as me always puts pepper on his Smithwick's. Apparently, the first time his dad took him out drinking, the waitress looked at him and said, "you'll have pepper on that son," and he's been doing it ever since.

He taught it to my friend and while I thought she was crazy, I tried it and it's really good. We call it "The Colonel" since the guy is a retired USMC colonel. Really cool dude overall.

15. Cool. I'm not an ale drinker myself, but maybe I'd like it better
w/a bit of seasoning!

You always learn a little something when you're at the bar.

16. I'm not really much of an ale drinker either, but I love Smithwick's.
It's not as bitter as most ales.

Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 08:01 PM by thefool_wa
I'm off in an hour, the wife and kids are at the in-laws, yesterday was payday, and I am not sure what possiblities the evening holds. This sounds like a potentially dangerous combination of events,

Can you help me out?

:shrug:

on edit: with what I should go in search of for drinking.

35. I can't join you tonight. I'm on antibiotics.
I had the flu, and then a sinus infection got nasty and bacterial on me. I've been fighting illness for two weeks, but the Z-pak is going to finish it off for me.

I just can't take a chance until this stuff clears my system (last dose is Monday).

Enjoy yours!

36. Sipping on a bottle of cannabis infused Smirinoff.
Nice and green! Very stoney as well, i'ma have to go sleepy soon.

Easy to make! Add 1/4 oz fine trichome laden fresh bud in bowl, add 1 750ml bottle of your favorite spirits. Aloow to soak 3 minutes stirring slightly a few times. Strain with cloth or coffee filter and viola! Make sure to go no more than 3 minutes. Any more will strip out bad tasting terpins and waxes, instead of the wanted canniboids. Yes the alcohol will strip the oil based thc trichomes right out and infuse them with the spirit.

Anyway, I've moved onto BV Coastal Estates Merlot 2003, since I'm out of beer.

Mainly because it's cheaper than mixed drinks, though I don't like Merlot.

Merlot's for lesbians. :hide:

57. Personally, I prefer cabs and syrahs but...
my stepdad is a huge merlot fan, so we have about a 100 bottles of merlot on hand at any given point.

I'll drink just about anything though.

151 is for breeders!

60. If I did, for some reason, I'd be REALLY hard on them.
I don't have the time, patience or energy to raise a kid, so if I ever did have one, they'd damn well better make my time worthwhile -- they'd better grow up and cure cancer or become President or something.

The kid would ask me for $100 jeans and I'd be all like, "what the hell have you ever done for me? You're wearing Target jeans, kiddo. I'm buying my Lucky's."

63. I'd name my kid "Disposable Income Vacuum."
And if they asked me for $100 jeans, I'd yell at them that $100 could buy them Ramen for a year.

Then I'd tell them to go buy Ramen because we're out. :D
