You Never Got a Reason, But You Put It On My Tab: New Drunk Thread

[martin_van_buren]

I am drunk, people, and having an excellent time but now I am going to bed or maybe writing an essay or making some ramen or something, I am undecided. Have a good night folks, have fun! Party on & cetera!

I played poker tonight at my friend's house.  He lives a short walk from here.  I brought over a half a bottle of Bowmore.  It is gone.

How's the Dark Horse? We've got a pretty extensive selection of their stuff here, but I've only ever tried their Scotch Ale. (Good, but a little sweet for my taste.)

It's pretty good, but it's black and thick, and more like an imperial stout than the nürnberger Schwarzbier, which are evidently more like a black lager.  A friend of mine is in Germany right now, and was going off about the black biers, which is why I picked this up in the first place. 

Probably not a session beer, but a good one to have around when the snow gets deep.

Dark dark dark and tastes kinda like chocolate.  It's really tasty, but I don't think I could actually finish a pint by myself.

Hey, it's time for my annual four pack of Boddington's.

[girl]

Hey, I'll join you (sort of). I checked the fridge, there's one Boddington's left.

[El_Josharino]

Hey, perhaps I'll have one more before I hit the sack.

[diesel_powered]

Drinking... always a good idea.

[DCDave]

Made dinner for me and the lady (ravioli with tomato sauce incl. asparagus, endives with oranges, feta, olive oil, green onions, sea salt).  Split a bottle of the Little Penguin Cab/Shiraz/merlot blend.  Watched Barton Fink.  Walked her the two blocks home.  Love life.

[diesel_powered]

Sat at home. Made popcorn. Drank beer. Alone. 

[girl]

Hey! I also had popcorn and beer while spending most of the evening watching Twin Peaks home alone.

[diesel_powered]

Mmm. Twin Peaks. Interesting idea.

I got to the part after they tell you who killed Laura and then I lost interest.

[girl]

Yeah, it just barely holds itself together to that point. After that, it falls apart almost completely, but, you know, it's not entirely without its charms.

[ellaguru]

That is exactly the point at which to stop watching.

[girl]

*sigh* I know. . . I was just trying to justify the way I spent my day. The owls are not what they seem.

[jebreject]

That is exactly the point at which to stop watching.

You can't just find out who the killer is, you have to watch Leeland smash his own brains out as well. After that, it doesn't matter so much. (Though I'd say the Windom Earle plot has some fun moments--skip over all the James and Evelyn crap though)

[ellaguru]

Yes, yes, sorry, I meant "Go to the light, Leland, go to the light", with the sprinklers going strong and all. If the series ended there, there'd be no knocking it.

[diesel_powered]

After that point it seems to really really turn soap opera. And while I'm not totally opposed to that as it's obvious the creators were having a lot of fun with how extreme they could get with the plot, sometimes my suspension of disbelief falters. (I mean... Catherine Martell returns in disguise, nobody notices it's OBVIOUSLY HER? You could cut that up and serve it on crackers!)

[jebreject]

well, it was always a melodrama. but yeah, the plotlines became less interesting and far more meandering and blah blah blah

[difficult]

But the last episode is amazing!
And the only really annoying bit is James and Evelyn, the rest of it is at worst still really solid

[Greg Nog]

Hey so the Avery Maharaja is really quite fantastic.

Someone oughtta start a new alcohol thread soon.

[coldforge]

new bottles tonight. A bottle of Borgogno Chinato, which is tasty, but enough of a Barolo that I'm not sure I'll be able to drink all of it before it spoils; A bottle of Amaro Ramazzotti, which my awesome waiter friend brought to the table last time I was at his restaurant, and, finally beginning the Scotch plunge (which I believe to have been tipped into by the Yamazaki), a bottle of Ardbeg. 10.

[El_Josharino]

Today after work I decided, "I've gotta get drunk, I've gotta forget about some things." So I went to the dive a couple buildings down and I left there shortly after 8 and I'm pretty goshdarn warm and fuzzy.

[davy]

man I took GREs today

then went to the pub, drank murphy's

then went to kristen's, where her parents keep a fully stocked liqour cabinet. They were like, "man you guys must be beat! drink all you want!"

so I have been drinking like grand marnier martinis and godfathers with chivas and really nice amaretto... wooo!

GREs man they are some fascist fucking SHIT.

hey, and i took the MAT this morning! since then i have had a corona and a glass of red wine.

and now i have heartburn. but i owned the MAT so it's ok.

[Augo]

Tonight after work I sped the van all the way across town to catch perhaps my favorite local down-home, train-hoppin' howlin'-at-the-moon, whiskey-swillin' bluegrass band and had four beers and some laughs and boy I think I'm gonna sleep ok tonight for once.
