Drinks

[Jamie D]

Last time I was drunk in a bar I read something on the wall that I found hilarious, but it was so outlandish that I can't repeat it here. I think I found it funny for the sole fact that it was really really over the top.

Such a tease.

Com'on, spill!

Like most bar staff in pubs, my drink while behind the bar is tea, which I had in my hand before I put it down to type this. The customers have beer or wine, mainly the men have the beer and the women have the wine.  I am convinced that the general reason for this sexual difference is simply the response to the Law of Conservation of Mass we all learned in lesson 1 of science at school. What goes in must come out or stay there, and for drink, if it doesnt stay there, it means visits to the loo about which women are generally more shy than men and so they have the drink with smaller bulk.

Drinks are on the house!!! You only have to be able to climb up there to get one   

Sorry, bad humor

It wasn't like that when I worked in a pub.

mainly the men have the beer and the women have the wine

I don't know, most of the guys I know drink beer and whiskey every now and again, while the girls I know drink wine at home, but out on the town it's Long Island Iced Tea.

But it is funny.  I overheard this at a Willie Nelson concert.  Any Willie Nelson concert.  Every Willie Nelson concert.  By just about 9 out of every 10 guys who get to the bar:
I'll have a Bud and shot of Jack, and a Bud-Lite for the little lady.

Like clockwork.  It's just the drink for that bunch.

Hippie jam bands drink expensive microbrew, boys and girls.  Urban contemporary, well African-American men don't drink near as much as their honky brothers from another mother, and not close to their Latino buddies either.  But when they do they seem to like brandy and real expensive champagne.  But the girls love brandy.  Expensive brandy.  It's the folk-rock and 'women's music' where all the women order wine (white, of course).

Expect for the parrot-heads, they are (of course) wasting away in Margaritaville.  And they've got more ways to power blenders than you can shake a stick at.

As I live on a small island in the Caribbean with two rum distilleries, when I dink I drink rum. Rum and tonic, Bloody Marys with rum, a drink we call tea made with key lime juice, rum, crushed ice and sweetened wit squabs nectar. But I mostly smoke mass quantities of home grown organic high grade Ganga.
Rum here is about $6 American per liter. I used to brew homebrew beer but it is to warm here for proper fermentation without AC or refrigeration and current is very expensive at nearly 50 cents per KWH.
I do drink a lot of expresso

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

I hear tell that there is a lot of that around here too.  "Room-mates that pay you" as a friend calls them.

screwdriver or rum and coke

I had a Bloody Mary about 2 yrs ago, before that I hadn't drank for a few yrs.
Pepsi Max, fruit juices, carbonated water. The first 1/4 of the coffee pot, in the morning only, just once.

[espo]

So you make a pot of coffee and only drink the first 1/4.  Or am I reading it wrong.

[ativan]

I drink the first stuff to come out of the coffee maker.
The rest I leave for those who can't drink real coffee, just that usual strength stuff.

[ativan]

I don't make much sense to me either...

If drinking to socialize: Long Island. If drinking because I want to forget stuff, Gin and tonic.

[Fitz]

Either whatever beer or wine was local or an imperial stout.

I live right in the heart of wine country.  I can go out for a walk and quickly be amongst the vineyards, looking at scenes that look like they came out of a postcard.

I drink... water.    Or if I want to get fancy, a chocolate milkshake.  Or if it's lunch, Snapple peach iced tea.

Or if I don't mind getting a headache later...  mocha or latte.  (hmm, maybe I should look into decaf..)

[tekla]

I'm in vineyards if I ride my bike 15 minutes (or less) either east, west, or north.  South I'd have to ride past Cotati to find any.   Best is the case discounts.

Water on rocks....... I dont drink nor do i plan on drinking.... even a sip

[chrishoney]

A couple of tall frosties of a local, seasonal microbrew called Snow Melt (7% alcohol, yehaa!) is the best thing for playing Skyrim........
