I dropped acid for the first time last night. One of my friends had crazy visuals for what must have been eight hours. I felt warm and happy for the first three, but never got the visuals or crazy sensations. I understand that visuals are rare and not to be expected, but I felt really left out as my friend talked about food eating itself and little lizards moving in a perfect circular motion.

Unfortunately, some visuals from acid stay with you the rest of your life.

I'm in Atlantic City, NJ! We have a fancy room and a cooler with 2 handles of rum. Because we loose well enough money at the slots, not about to give the bars any of our money.

Wait, don't the casinos do comp drinks so you'll keep losing?

Probably, but you have to stay on the casino floor to keep getting them, and I don't actually like gambling that much.

Drunk and listening to Andrew Jackson Jihad. Just finished reading a piece on 1930's Japanese expansion, and I'm in a World War 2 mood. If my laptop wasn't broken, I'd fire up Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood. I may have to settle for Saving Private Ryan.

Having your grandmother treat you to Panera Bread (Which means I pay for both of us) during the most busy time of day after having not slept the night before. That's not good high... I've got more bad memories than good ones, so they can all go. I've got a tape ready in the event of total memory loss where I explain everything.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #768 on:** 14 Apr 2012, 20:56 »

SAKE IS GOOD IN COFFEE. AS FAR AS DUMPING ALCOHOL IN COFFEE GOES, I MEAN.

Stryc9Fuego · « **Reply #769 on:** 16 Apr 2012, 00:31 »

Sake is just like every other alcohol where quality matters, kind of like how you can get Jack Daniel's or you can get some off the wall bullshit whisk(e)y like Rebel Yell or a generic store brand. I've had good sake and I've had bad sake. Good sake tastes great and bad sake tastes like diesel fuel.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #770 on:** 16 Apr 2012, 01:37 »

Diesel fuel tastes closer to poop than bad sake. Yes, I've tasted all of these.

CrowFairy · « **Reply #771 on:** 19 Apr 2012, 15:33 »

I got the sake from a restaurant, and it was indeed warm. It smelled like bread. Which is weird. Because if I wanted bread, I would have just ordered bread, right? Anyway, so it was just really gross. I gagged. I managed to drink about half of the darned thing, and I ended up talking so much that I got laryngitis from it. I don't think I'll be drinking sake again. Which is kind of sad, because my Pappaw and his brother like to drink sake from time to time with each other, so I guess I won't be joining them in that.

Anyway, the smell was off-putting, the taste was terrible, and therefore, my throat rejected it. It was actually hard to swallow. >_< So far, I haven't really found any alcoholic drinks I actually enjoyed, so I guess that's good for now. I haven't gotten to the fruity drinks yet, and I really want to try an appletini. Recommendations?

I tasted sake in a short stay in Japan 45 years ago and liked it, and as I recall it's supposed to be served warm. But my drinks of choice in my 20s and 30s were gin&tonic, rum&coke, bloody mary. Then beer. Now wine, somewhat sweet like white Zinfandel. I prefer the beer and wine partly because I can meter it, comprehend how much alcohol I'm drinking. Haven't had a serious hangover in years.

Carl-E · « **Reply #774 on:** 19 Apr 2012, 20:43 »

Beer. Good beer. Preferably darker in hue than piss. I was weaned on canadian beers (lived in Buffalo), but shifted to the "darker" side in college.

And even a good beer has a fresh bread aroma - it's the yeast farts (CO2) that you're smelling.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #775 on:** 20 Apr 2012, 00:46 »

I'm not a big fan of beer. Or in fact of most alcohol, although I occasionally like a glass of good wine. The only drink I'd really choose to have if it's there is port, and that's expensive.

I like me some mead once in a while. Thankfully, the supermarket literally 4 minutes away stock it, and it is cheap. Though if I open a bottle, it's usually still in my fridge 2 years later - that's how often I drink.

I have resealy-cork things. Does that count as leaving it open?

Skewbrow · « **Reply #779 on:** 21 Apr 2012, 14:31 »

If it's not decent whisky, I would say, yes, it is sacrilege to reseal. Don't do this with wine or beer. With good whisky, OTOH, it would be sacrilege not to! Well matured whisky is best enjoyed, when you're sober enough to cherish the distinguished flavors.

Just made my way home from the end-of-the-season party of my home municipality senior (40+) floorball team. After some sauna, jacuzzi/whirlpool, dining and after-party beer + roasted chili nuts, I feel kind of wasted. Two imperial pints (cans), 4 bottles, and one metric pint (=half a liter) later I'm sorta done (and spleeling kinda random). It was fun, though. It was my turn to make the after-dinner toast, which I did fine. Reciting my favorite poet and all that jazz. The drag was that my towel kept falling off at the critical moments, when I reached the high points of my speech. Them teammates kept cheering me on, though.

But in the end we're all jolly good fellows, so all's well that ends well.

Can you make booze from fermented limes? What kind of booze is that?

I have family that ran White Lightning made from dandelions, and I can't figure out how to make booze from a lime. My drunken inbred West Virginia relatives are laughing at me.

Fuck it. Vodka martinis.

You'll find references to citrus wines on Google. Looks like the acidity makes it more difficult than other fruit.

In jail they make wine out of mandarin oranges, Kool Aid, and Saltines. Having a wine tasting where it's all secretly prison hooch would be interesting.

More peaty goodness! My supply of Talisker ran out, so it was time to go shopping. This time I get to try something new. Well, not really new 'cause it's Laphroaig. But this time it's something called quarter cask. The theory seems to be that maturing the Whisky in a smaller barrel for a period of time (towards the end) allows it to react with the oak barrel more strongly enhancing some flavors. And as fas as I can tell that's exactly what happened! Tasting has been a pleasant surprise. I hope you get to try it out, fully knowing that the resident woad-wearing coder most likely already has a few cases.

Sláinte!

celticgeek · « **Reply #792 on:** 25 May 2012, 14:18 »

Absolutely!!!!! Also, the 15 year old is really good. For the most part, I drink the regular 10 year old, but I do keep a bottle of 15 year old and a bottle of quarter cask in the cabinet, for when my single malt drinking buddies come around.

And, of course, I always wear woad when I am drinking single malt.

I fully believe that Laphroaig has a secret step in their process. Instead of distilling the whisky and putting it directly in barrels, they actually put it in another container filled with peat, and let it set for a few extra days.

Alba gu bràth!

So earlier today on Facebook, I declared my intention to have a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster tonight, because it's Towel Day and there was an accounting clusterfuck at work that made my head hurt, but all the recipes I found (1) involve ingredients I don't have, and (2) sound pretty unpleasant. So I'm drinking rum instead. But how does one (1) go about collecting an inventory for making a variety of cocktails, and (2) tell what cocktails would be good if you haven't tried it before, and (3) learn to like things that actually taste like alcohol? Because all I have is spiced rum, vodka, Kahlua, and kinda-old-but-unopened Bailey's.

celticgeek · « **Reply #794 on:** 25 May 2012, 17:36 »

You might start by looking up recipes for your favorite liquor (rum, for example), and seeing if what they put in it sounds interesting. Or try a small sample of a friends drink (they can pour you a sip in a plastic glass, for example).

Barmymoo · « **Reply #795 on:** 26 May 2012, 03:40 »

Cocktail classes are expensive, but probably less expensive than wasting a load of money on things you won't actually drink. Or host a cocktail party and ask everyone to either bring a bottle or chip in some money towards the cost, and try lots of different ones!

TinPenguin · « **Reply #796 on:** 03 Jun 2012, 22:33 »

Woke up at 6am, still ever so slightly drunk. Beats a hangover, I guess.

I can conclude that last night's spiced mead experiment was a success.

1/2 a glass dark rum, a pour of simple syrup, bubbly water to fill and a handfull of frozen cherries.

So good.

Why is the rum gone?
