So, what's everybody drinking tonight?

[northernsoul]

I haven't made up my mind yet. What should I pick up if I hit "the candy store" on the way home tonight? Gotta have some good libations for results-watching and celebrating tonight.

[Mutley]

1. Good idea.

I'm going to have to think on that. :hi:

[Rambis]

2. Pinta Guinness!

[northernsoul]

3. That is one of the most beautiful sights known to humanity!

Is it wrong for me to say that at 10:24 a.m.? Ahhh, who cares?! Tonight is going to be about celebrating, tomorrow is going to be about rebuiliding our country.

[Rambis]

5. Tis

I can taste it now unfortunately I will be drinking the "Merican/Canadian" pasteurized version but still good with a wee bit of black currant.

[patrick t. cakes]

45. lotta that tonight...

:toast: to victory...(and my birthday):)

[azmouse]

4. I'm sipping cognac to celebrate!

[datasuspect]

6. water

[northernsoul]

11. keeping your wits about you, eh?

tip o' the cap to you. I, however, will require something a bit more bracing.

[Guava Jelly]

7. I've got a bottle of this waiting for me

[meegbear]

8. Shots of Jack Daniels

yum

[Reverend_Smitty]

10. niiiiiiice

I'm thinking of sipping some Bourbon on the rocks tonight as I watch the results come in, if anything it will make me forget about my head cold for a bit

[x-g.o.p.er]

9. Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat

Best. Beer. Ever.

[momophile]

33. dang. can I have some Leinis?

I sure do miss the variety packs I used to get in Chicago.

[x-g.o.p.er]

40. Come on over!!

I have a 12 pack, and a grocery store right down the street

[Crankie Avalon]

12. Hennepin Saison if your store carries it, or...

...if not, then Sierra Nevada "Celebration Ale" ought to be pretty easy to find.

Beer Advocate reviews for both:

Also, if don't mind a beer that's a little expensive, Duvel is a GREAT choice: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/222/695

EDIT TO ADD: I've got Hennepin AND Sierra Nevada Celebration at home, so it'll be one of those two for me.

[AlCzervik]

13. maalox and coffee, my stomach is bad today, i'm sure the coffee isn't helping.

[WilliamPitt]

14. Beer or hemlock

depending on how things shake out.

"I was dwelling upon the immortal words of Socrates, who said...'I drank what?'"

[northernsoul]

16. no hemlock for you!

Win, lose, or draw - we're going to need you here with us tomorrow. So stick to beer, my friend.

[Deja Q]

15. If we win. Never count the chickens until they're fully grown.

Either way, there is nothing to celebrate until things improve. False hopes are irrational.

[northernsoul]

17. Can't I just be cautiously optimistic?

Jeez, you're no fun at all HypnoToad!

[Deja Q]

46. That's why I'm 34.493 years old and still single!

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

18. I'll be sipping Maccacaritas out of a replica of Allen's skull

Rimmed with rainbow salt...

[northernsoul]

24. Mmm... sound delicious!

Where can I get some rainbow salt? Seriously, I've seen that pink salt from Hawai'i, but rainbow salt would be fabulous!

[Beer Snob-50]

19. BBC SHABADOO

sort of like a guiness but a local brewery from here in beautiful western mass.

[Freedom Rock]

22. i'm lookin' to share drinks in NYC

I'm looking to go out and get drunk for the election tonight in NYC. Who's with me? Who wants to meet up? I thought there were going to be a bunch of election night parties/events but that doesnt seem to be the case.

[northernsoul]

25. Wish I was there

I love my native Saint Paul (deep in the heart of Wellstone Country), but NYC truly is the greatest city on earth... except for that city that Starship built on rock-n-roll.

[Beer Snob-50]

30. wish i could

however it is a three hour drive and my wife and i will get happy in the confines of our living room.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

37. hmmmm.... sounds like....

... a BBC Children's TV programme - the latest replacement for teletubbies maybe? ;) :toast:

[Callalily]

20. Bloody Mary!

[northernsoul]

28. "it's like a salad you can drink!"

little known fact: JFK's favorite cocktail was a vodka Bloody Mary.

[Amused Musings]

21. Jim Beam, straight up

or if things go south (literally), a Jonestown cocktail

[northernsoul]

27. wow, you're not messing around!

Cheers, and welcome to DU!
:beer:

[Rowdyboy]

23. Beer until they call the House for us....Then we crack open the champagne

[northernsoul]

26. In my experience,

beer before champagne always leads to nasty hangovers. Be careful, we'll need our wits about us tomorrow!

[Rowdyboy]

29. I'll only sip on a glass or two...its a tradition dating to my first election

in 1972.

[Freedom Rock]

31. patron on the rock or grey good orange on the rocks for me.

Well Northern I love NYC too. but the city (and all the dem and liberal groups) are letting me down tonight. There are no big election night parties, and I want to go to one.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

36. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[bif]

32. Beer & red wine

Guaranteed hangover.

[momophile]

34. hadn't thought about this, but I'd better figure it out soon.

how 'bout milk and kahlua if we take only the House, and milk kahlua and vodka if we take both!!

[Truebrit71sbruv]

35. I only wish I could send you some Tuborg Julebryg...

My favourite tipple at this time of year. It's a special brew released only around Christmas here in Denmark and it tastes WUNNNNNERFUL....

So... given that it's past 10pm over here anyhow... I'm libating-away like crazy!

[Left Is Write]

38. I have no idea. It's not tonight yet.

I have to take my daughter to Brownies from 6:30 to 7:30, so if I imbibe in the potent stuff, it won't be until after that.

[jus_the_facts]

39. Sweet Iced Tea...and...Sweet Leaf....

[Fuzz]

41. Bombay Blue Sapphire Martinis

Shaken, very dry, very cold, with two olives.

:)

[PrimeRibGuy]

42. Scotch for me

should be pretty shit faced by 9:00 my time when they start announcing things!

[Westegg]

43. branch water and grain alcohol/NT

[PrimeRibGuy]

48. what the hell is branch water and grain alcohol

is grain alcohol a type of Whiskey?

[Chichiri]

44. Mike's, and WHY HAVEN'T YOU VOTED!?!?!?

or at least changed your avatar? COME ON, MAN, AMY AND MIKE NEED YOU!!!!

[northernsoul]

50. I hit the polls at 7 a.m.

Didn't bother to change my avatar. Didn't know it was that big a deal! Amy is going to kick ass in the Senate, and I'm looking forward to seeing Timmy the Tool govern with both houses of the legislature and all constitutional offices going DFL. Bwahahahaha!

[MsKandice01]

47. Red Stripe, I think...

[marigold20]

49. Honey Weiss

lots of it
