Hey...we already have a 'meaningless drunk thread' in nothingland somewhere.

I've just started on a glass of wine. I'm a long way off drunk yet, but I thought I'd just post here anyway. :)

Beer wine AND vodka tonic?

this mixture does not sound like a good idea
NoBoxes • Jul 14, 2009 4:37 am
My rationale for drinking too much red wine is that I'm trying to ingest enough resveratrol to fuck cancer.

We don't have one of those, and with good reason I suspect.

How could UT possibly afford the bandwidth required for that thread? :D

And yes, I am presently qualified to post in this thread. Several and a half glasses of Riesling with the tuna steak and salad dinner. hmmm. :)

I'm heading to Las Vegas this weekend, for the last bachelor party. The final holdout is getting married, and we are gonna go burn down the town.

Can we merge this thread with "What do you look like RFN", just to simplify my life for the next few days?

That would make life too easy for the prosecutors and divorce attorneys.
bluecuracao • Jul 17, 2009 5:03 pm
Okay...so, is this still the Drunk Thread, or the Morning After thread?

If it's the former, I'll be posting in a few hours. If the latter, well, I'm not sure...I'll probably be too busy sleeping it off to contribute.

I have to plan ahead for these things.
smoothmoniker • Jul 17, 2009 6:00 pm
It's definitely the drunk thread. See you back here at 5:01!
bluecuracao • Jul 17, 2009 8:49 pm
Eh, it's 8:34 my time and I'm not really there yet. The delicious gigantic buffalo burger I had for dinner has slowed things down somewhat.

But good thing, because it's going to be a long night. I have to be at the Irish Pub at 9 for someone's going-away party, with people almost half my age. It's not Vegas, but won't be pretty, I'm sure.
smoothmoniker • Jul 17, 2009 8:58 pm
I'm playing tonight at one of the best live music clubs in LA - everytime we play there, people just bring us drinks up on stage. I will definitely be back here later tonight, posting the stupids.

Definitely a stroke of genius. Two glasses of the Knob Creek, a good nights rest, and I'm ready to do it again this morning. But I won't.

Surprisingly enough, I wasn't all that hungover yesterday...when I finally woke up around 1PM, that is.

oh god oh god oh god.

Vegas.

With a high roller.

Comped everything, limos everywhere, women, booze, money, it was like a mafia movie. Incredible. It's 11 am, and I still have the spins from last night. I'll try to list the culprits:

2x Bookers Bourbon at dinner
3x Stellla Artois in the limos
6x Vodka Tonic at the Hard Rock casino
2x Tequila & Triple in the hotel room
3x advil before bed

Ok, in the time it took to write this, the spins have died down, and the pounding behind the eyes is just beginning.

oh god.

Vegas.
Undertoad • Jul 20, 2009 2:25 pm
Again with the mixing! I'm telling ya, the mixing is not good!

Give your body one poison to deal with at a time, is my advice, and by the way, 6 tonics puts all that high fructose corn syrup into the equation too!

The blinds in vegas are unreal. They're like black holes. I woke up at 11 am and thought it was 5am.

Tonight was round 2. Slumming it on Fremont street, playing $3 blackjack and drinking straight Vodka and Red Bull. This is a fantastic trip.

Drinking when you get up is ok if its a milk based drink, like kahlua or something...totally acceptable

Been getting back into shape with my bagpipes after several years' hiatus. This means my lips are getting stronger, and that lends a certain something to how I kiss. A piper is never too drunk -- so long as he may yet drag himself home on his lips.
Jaydaan • Jul 25, 2009 8:59 pm
I made a Tuscan style red wine, and once bottled, had to drink the 2/3 of a bottle left over. WOW this is one dangerous wine! I am loving it. Even bottle shocked and not aged, its great. Not sure it the 27 bottles will make the 3 month stage, not to mention the 6 month stage! My best friend agrees, we are going to crack open another one. So in about an hour if all goes well drunkenness should ensue.
:)
Aliantha • Jul 29, 2009 6:56 am
I am.

It used to take a lot more to get me pissed, but now...not so much...

The thing with being drunk these days is because I don't have much staying power, I get that horny feeling, but when it all comes down to it, I can't be arsed. I'd rather sleep. lol What a waste! I'm getting off here just in case I can get the timing right.
smoothmoniker • Nov 20, 2009 11:57 pm

thread resurrection.

Twil and I went to that trivia contest the other night, y'all helped with our team name--thanks!! It was held in a local pub/tavern. They had a tiny kitchen and the daily special was tacos. What goes better with fish tacos than margaritas? Nothing, right. So, when I placed my order for the tacos, I also got a couple margaritas. I watched the bartender make the margaritas right in front of me.

These were not the basic mix/tequila/triple sec/ice-3/2/1/fill'er up margaritas. He took a pint glass, added several lime wedges and a couple lemon wedge/slices from his bar pantry (I'm sure there's a name for that little lidded container of fruit garnishes but I don't know it), added a bit of granulated sugar, and about half a glass of ice and then mashed the hell out of it with his muddler. Then he took his lime/lemon "mix" and strained it into a different glass, added ice, tequila, and triple sec. He stirred it and then took one of the hollow stirrers and plunged it into the drink, capped the top with his finger then put the tiny straw into his mouth and tasted his work. Nom nom. He tossed the straw in the trash and then gave me the drinks. I was impressed.

It was a very good margarita and it really activated my DIY itch. So when we were at Trader Joe's last night, I got a bag of lemons, a bag of limes, we got a bottle of tequila (BD rolls her eyes and teases me about the fact that I have a fondness for Sauza, the bottom shelf agave product, what-evah) from the local liquor store and today I made a batch.

I used four limes and two lemons with some sugar and ice in a strong container (some kind of canister I think) and I beat the hell out it with the handle of a big knife (no muddler here) and put the result in a plastic bottle in the freezer. I've made enough mix for three strong and cold margaritas, rocks.

While they are delicious, I think they're a potential threat to my peak performance as Twil's finish carpenter. I'm adding the baseboards to the kitchen remodel we started a hundred years ago. Tequila and compound miter saws should not be enjoyed at the same time, right? My pile of unusably small scraps is itself small, but growing. :(

good news: I can still count to ten without removing my shoes.

status: very sociable.

bad news: there's just y'all to be sociable with.

The last time I made a 'batch' of margaritas was when we lived in the house with the pool. I floated around in the pool for the arvo drinking this whole jug, then decided to get off my floaty and go upstairs.

My first mistake was thinking my legs would still work.

It went down hill from there.

Yep. Hard to believe, but tequila makes anything possible. ;)

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

'Course, with me you could substitute anything even remotely alcoholic for the tequila and the result would be the same. I'm a cheap date.
Aliantha • Apr 25, 2013 9:51 pm
I wish I was a cheap date. Apparently I'm not though. Maybe that explains why my husband hasn't taken me out for so long.

Or maybe he's just very slack.

It was nothing on a weekend in high school to down 3 40s (the equivalent of 10 beers), including shotgunning at least one of them.

I got a new tv recently one that receives OTA digital broadcasts and ... wait... nevermind. I was listening to the radio the other day, the Dinner Party Download, and they had a segment that had a drink recipe, one of the ingredients for which was . Wait. It was on tv. Ok, one of the ingredients (it was during a cooking show that focused on Mexican cooking, and limes were featured in the cocktail recipe). Anyhow, this new drink, which I can't remember, included an ingredient that I hadn't known about before. It's called Velvet Falernum. It's yummy. It's very very sweet. I made a Corn 'n' Oil.

BigV • Oct 1, 2014 5:16 pm
so.

I've bottled--no, wait. I've EMPTIED a five gallon carboy of its precious mead, bottling much of it. But I had more mead than bottles and some of it went into some glasses. It's not right to call it quality control, except that it was of acceptable quality and I was able to control the flow into the few bottles I had. The rest went into a glass, but shit, the glass didn't hold it either, so natually I had to make room in the glass. I did this by pouring some of the mead from the glass down my throat.

fuck, that carboy is a biiiiiiig bottle, ain't it?
BigV • Dec 16, 2014 10:35 pm
Hello again

...

just left work, went to the grocery store, brought groceries home and cooked some of them. then, I had a drink, or one and a half. I made room in the fridge by finishing the last of the eggnog, and put some rum in it. then I added my secret ingredient, not nutmeg, nope. not cinnamon. nope. chinese five spice powder. anise, cardamon, star anise, and some other sweet spicy stuffs. a very nice twist on the regular eggnog. there was aaaabboooout enough eggnog for two servings. ish. NOTE TO SELF: don't unscrew the cap next time, just flip the top and use the shaker top.

but I'm here to tell you that the buzz I'm feeling is probably from this new doodad I got at the store the other night. It's called a Vapor Spirit. I fucking love it. I got it from the local liquor store, and I think I stole it, approximately. the clerk didn't find a tag on it, so he called the owner... .while I waited on the call, I told the guy I'd give him $20 for it. nope, still holding.... he came back and said, $8. I said OK! because he obviously didn't hear me the first time. whatever dude. I later found out, via the website you've seen the link to that they retail for $50. wtf. I'm not paying fifty fucking bucks for that. reports of my willingness to pay $20 might or might not have some truth to them. but I was willing to part with $8 for one. Now I think I'll go back and try to buy the rest of them at the $8 price.

Because, friends, this is a fun toy. it's like fucking freebasing bourbon. I drink my bourbon neat under normal circumstances, my scotch too. I like several mixed drinks (but not that fucking Tulip, jesus, I'd rather be sober and thirsty, with a tickle in my throat before I'd let another one of those vile concoctions pass my lips PTUI!).

any fucking way.

this thing is a blast. the delivery of alcohol to the blood is very very fast. i'm inhaling alcohol. now, I have a one-finger glass next to me as well, but the glass is still more than half full (more than half of the original portion) and the buzz is palpable. I think I'm gonna go to bed in a minute, after this post.

such a fun toy.

First of all, I'm not dead (yet).

Next, I'm drinking tonight, it's going to be nice. Off work early, don't have to be in until 11 am tomorrow.

NEXT, your question Ali, ok, not a question, but a request. The next day I had a pretty good headache. Well, shit. I was disappointed with my new toy. But not discouraged. I tried it again later, and many times since then, all with only pleasant results. I am going to conclude that the headache was from the eggnog/rum. I've had bourbon, neat, bourbon, rocks, scotch, both, etc. All of the stuff I drink regularly, and in combination with the Vapor Spirit. No problems.

It was the eggnog plus rum that gave me the headache.

Just plain booze and this ... gadget, no problemo. It really does do the job of letting me enjoy the flavor of the the liquor. Especially scotch, I like mine smoky, heavy, Islay, and the more the better. Laphroaig is the best I've had the pleasure to experience to date. It's sublime. No, actually, that's not true. It's about as sublime as a sledgehammer. It's potent, it's loud, it's turned up to eleven. And savoring a wee (very wee) dram in the inhaler lets me enjoy the best of it, the flavor and the aroma, in very economical way.

It's been a long time coming, but a-hole neighbor's got his ass in a very tight crack with the local authorities (code enforcement, logging overseers), and I couldn't be more pleased.

See, about a month ago, a-hole decided he needed to build a rough road along the east-west border of his land (directly adjacent to my property), through the designated wetland on his property. In doing so, he violated the logging overlords' directions about not doing any clearing on the wetland portion of his land, and ravaged the seasonal creekbed next to my (easement) road with his backhoe.

This little creek runs under and then alongside my easement road. It also runs through the property of my good neighbor (through which my road passes). Because destroying that wetland creek bed will directly affect my good neighbor and I when the rains return, we contacted the county's environmental code enforcement people as well as the county's logging inspectors to report a-hole's rampant arrogance and stupidity.

Well, the investigation into a-hole's actions is ongoing, but my neighbor and I just got reports from code enforcement and the logging division. They're going to bring the hammer down, apparently. Significant fines, and he'll be spending [SIZE="4"]BIG[/SIZE] money to "restore" what he tore up.

:cheerldr:

You reap what you sow, motherfucker! Mwahahahaha!!

Yes, I know you're right. I'm his target for the road repair thing and I don't take that lightly, but this latest action was led by my good neighbor (with me and a cop in attendance).

A-hole did his wetland/creek destsruction on the Memorial Day weekend, so there was no one in enforcement on duty to shut him down. Because of this, my good neighbor (she and her husband own the land that my easement road passes through) called the cops to serve as witness while she confronted him. She recorded a video of him in his backhoe in the middle of the creekbed, with the cop as a witness, while she (and the cop) told him he had to stop ripping up the creekbed or risk the consequences, and he turned his back on us and continued tearing things up. She also later contacted the forestry and code enforcement guys.

So, I'm his former enemy. She's his current enemy. It is what it is. My reading of him is that he's a passive-aggressive bully, and his MO is quietly arrogant willfulness/antagonism, but he complies when he's pressed (as I've already proved with my small claims lawsuit against him). I've done a backgound search on him - no worrisome legal issues thus far. Of course, this situation could push him over the edge, but so far, no violence in his history. :(

On the plus side, the cops know what's going on out here - it's not the first time they've been called in connection with this guy. Code enforcement and logging dudes are also keeping a close reign on him, now that they've had a chance to get out here to see what he's done. And, he's surrounded by neighbors who know what he's done and are not happy about it. The whole world's watching, if you will.

Finally, although it's waaay after the fact, he has applied for a wetland permit to build a road through his wetland, so he's complying (so far) with the officials who are monitoring his case. The odds of getting this permit are roughly zero, so he's going to have to spend wads of dough "restoring" what he broke with county enforcement supervision, and have no real access to the back end of his land (next to my property).

And then there will be the fines. Heh.

As for gloating at him . . . I promise to try very hard not to, but I make no promises.:rolleyes:

Update: I was telling a friend about my a-hole neighbor tearing a road through his wetland, and the friend said something similar happened in his neighborhood years ago. The EPA got involved and reamed the offender royally.

So, I called the EPA last Friday. A rep from the Army Corps of Engineers will be here this Friday afternoon to get the Feds on the job.
