Who else has started drinking?
I just finished my first Vodka and Cranberry.

Only a half hour left for the turkey breast. Smells pretty yummy in our condo right now.

So, who else has already had a cocktail?

20. Let's see...
Is the smoke related to something that helps stimulate an appetite?

26. Sigh.
Not a weekend goes by without one of us saying, "You know what would be nice right about now..."

I'm going to have to work on that.

Enjoy and have a great night!

6. It's not even 1pm yet, here on the west coast. A bit early for me.
but I'll be imbibing before 5pm, for sure, dude. I like champagne cocktails, personally...followed by wine. :9

Our home smells pretty good, too, right now. The turkey's got a few more hours to go.

Happy Thanksgiving, JackBeck! :hi: Enjoy....

13. Aww. Thanks Shine.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I started around 1:30, but just made my second drink. It's all about pacing during th holidays. And this is from a very bad experience a few Christmases ago.

It's just the two of us and we're making way too much food. It's all about the leftovers! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

10. I'm a little jealous of all you folks in holiday mode.
Just a normal day here in Canada - no turkey smells, no excuse to booze it up early. On the other hand, our leader is marginally less of a fuckwit than yours - or perhaps (and more likely) he just hasn't shown his whole fuckwitted hand yet. So that's something to be thankful for!

But happy holidays to all. You deserve it.

Cheers!

You definitely have a wide variety of choices. Coming from a former Brooklyn bartender, you're a pro!

27. We cracked the champagne
just after our annual Thanksgiving ocean swim. Brrr...a chilly day in the Keys! Ate well (yum!) and now still sipping, though I may have to totter off for a nap soon.

30. What a great Thanksgiving tradition.
Champagne sounds wonderful as well.

Happy Thanksgiving, cwydro, and here's to warmer weather from a Jersey boy. It's rainy and cold up here, but the vodka is helping.

36. Martinis. Yummy.
We've got the chardonnay chilled, uncorked and ready to go. All we're waiting on is the dinner rolls and it's pig out time!

33. Just coffee. Percocet and drinking don't mix, I've heard.
I'd be tempted to get on the Thanksgiving table and strip! That would be a crowd-buster, I'm sure.

37. Sounds like me and gin.
Which is why I only drink vodka anymore.

Happy Thanksgiving, Radio_Lady!
