I think we're the resident alcoholics people of age who are known to occasionally imbibe in fermented or distilled beverages.


Teach me your ways, oh dispsomaniacal one!


Darker colored liquors are more likely to give a worse hangover, like whiskey.

Drinking carbonated beverages with liquor can make a hangover worse, like rums and cokes.

Don't drink those high alcohol beers you were drinking because they sneak up on you, and you are not going to have a god time in the morning. If you do decide to drink a craft beer with an alcohol percent higher then 6.5, follow it up with a glass of water. Trust me.

Eat when drinking.

Be wary of very sweet alcohols like cider, zimas, wine coolers, mike hard lemonaes...people tend to drink more of these cloying monstrosities for some reason. Blech. Anyway, you'll drink more of these then you expected. Again, match your drink consumption with a glass of water. One drink = one glass of water to drink.

Never drink shots. Avoid super sweet mixed drinks.

Always say no to shots because otherwise you'll end up vomiting outside a strip club, behind your house, and at work when they call you to come in at 6 am. Even if they're running a special in those test tubes, don't do it.

Wine can sneak up on you.

Don't drink: mad dog 20/20, boonesfarm, st. Ives, or old English unless you want to taste the worst of what humanity offers and pair it with the worst hangover of your life.

If you're. In a rural area and someone offers you homemade peach wine or dandelion wine its probably shine wine and its not going to taste a thing like peaches. More like nail polish remover. And even that sip is going to make you buzz.

I didn't remove beer bongs. Or clear liquors. Or margaritas.

Never, for the love of anything, drink any kind of punch or mixed drink made in a bucket.

But Cletus doesn't offer me anything else when I come over. If it's between miscellaneous bucket liquor or brown water, I know what I'm drinking.

After a grueling run at the cinema for a few months (new Pirates, Alien, Fast and Mummy movies which ranged from forgettable to terrible), I was starting to resent the movie-going experience but now things are starting to turn back around. The last three movies I've been to were Homecoming, Baby Driver and Dunkirk which are all awesome and the new Apes comes out here next week and that's supposedly one of the best so far. So I'm back on the cinema train and my bank account is not happy with me.

Also, someone stole my license plate on Thursday. I hadn't got around to reporting it yet because I figure there's no chance I'm getting it back (like the vanishing fifty bucks I left for the lawnmower man a couple years back) but in a refreshing case of helpful police, I just got a call that they found my plate abandoned with some other woman's who did report hers stolen. I figured it was kids doing a dare, but apparently it's also possible that people use other license plates to do fuel-and-dashes.

Shots/hard liquor is the way to go, IMO. Skip past the bs that is sipping drinks for hours on end and get straight down to business.

Out for a walk, stopped by a little shop to get some phone credit and a few things. On the way out I absently chucked the credit in a bin, thinking it was just the receipt. I only realised my mistake ten minutes down the road, so I had to rush back, then root through the bin, LIKE A DAMN HOBO, going through each piece of crumpled up paper till I found it. Hey it was 20 quid, I aint wasting that!

Of course I woulda looked weird to all the people watching me rustling through said bin, and I suppose I coulda mentioned why I was doing it to the people staring to save face, but ... I DON'T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION! Let 'em wonder.

Got the credit back though so fuck it.

It feels weird to be one of the (apparently scarce) people here who enjoys drinking. Good beer and whisky (and cider back home) are things I actually enjoy having. I'm not in it for the quickest path to drunkenness.

I think I might be the only one here who doesn't drink.

I'm more of a rum or vodka person myself, rather than whiskey (usually with other things, but not necessarily), but I also hate spending money, so I hardly ever go out drinking.

(Presumably, the only way to stop a bad guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law is a good guy with a transgender-friendly privacy law, and thus transgender-friendly privacy law rights need to be enshrined in the Constitution as well)
