After ridding my body of the toxins I feel comfortable in retracting my previous statement.Apparently, the best solution to a hangover is a bacon buttie.
How do you guys get rid of hangovers?
Mainly due to the mixture of carbohydrates and proteins. Drinking wouldn't do you any harm, either.
Given the insanity of physicists, i think the priority given to physics is more likely to be useful in said situation :PMy bad. Chemistry was never my forte.GODDAMMIT! LEARN CHEMISTRY! YOU MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY WHEN A CRAZED TEACHER THREATENS YOU WITH DEATH UNLESS YOU ANSWER HIS QUESTIONS! :P

Water. Tons of water. Most things associated with hangovers is actually dehydration.Quoteincreased levels of acetaldehyde, hormonal alterations of the cytokine pathways and decrease of the availability of glucose. Additional associated phenomena are dehydration, metabolic acidosis, disturbed prostaglandin synthesis, increased cardiac output, vasodilation, sleep deprivation and insufficient eating.Given that it's left as an afterthought, as opposed to 'Most is caused by dehydration', I suspect the dehydration idea may well be wrong.
Also, how DOES alcohol cause dehydration? The stuff you're drinking has water in it, you don't piss out THAT much, you don't sweat to buggery...
you don't piss out THAT muchSpeak for yourself. :P
I'm mostly naturally hangover immune.
The few times I have experienced one, i find water and bacon butties solves the problem nicely. in the absence of bacon, mini cheddars are a nice substitute, tho whether that's biological or just because they taste nice is debatable.
I find that I have to throw up to make a hangover go away.
I never have puked from being hungover, and I have done a lot of excessive drinking in my time and have had bad hangovers. Puking while drunk can be very unpleasant too, especially if it comes unexpected or if you are too drunk to move. Sometimes you can just use it to make room for more booze though. ;)I find that I have to throw up to make a hangover go away.
My philosophy is that its better to puke while you are still drunk than when you are hungover. When you are drunk puking is almost pleasant.
It also has a lot to with what you drink. Anything with a lot of sugar in it (i.e., candy mixed drinks or a metric shit ton of domestic beer) will make you feel worse in the morning.There is really a huge difference between cheap wines and better wines in terms of hangovers, same with beer. Must be the stuff they use to cut the cheaper wines. Anything that comes in a tetrapack is likely to result in headache.
Also for some reason, wine seems to produce really nasty hangovers when you drink a lot of it.
Closest I've gotten to properly drunk is very mildly drunk.

Heh, call me weird, but I got to the 'mild buzz' stage, decided the feeling is fucking awful, and did not feel like drinking alcohol ever since early November (and even then I had a single beer).

You might just be very sensitive to intoxication. For me, there's a fine line between pleasantly buzzed and unpleasantly buzzed. Which almost always comes down to what I'm drinking. When I drink enough domestic beer to get drunk, I get a headache. I start feeling drowsy and slow and just generally unpleasant. Three or four cans of PBR or whatever and I'm ready to call it a night.
I hate that one-beer buzz - you know it's there, but you don't get anything from it. Second and third beers are best.Closest I've gotten to properly drunk is very mildly drunk.

No, it wasn't anything explicitly unpleasant in itself - I just hated that... fluffy-headed feeling.

Four days down, three weeks and three days to go.It's not Lent and it's not Ramadan.
It's not Lent and it's not Ramadan.To prove to the wife that I'm not a raging alcoholic, I spend a month or two each year without touching a drop of alcohol.
So why the Sobriety - if I may ask?
Stroh as in Strohrum? Oh boy, you're in for some fun :P
A friend of mine had a bottle of the stuff, with the brand name 'Ostprodukt'. We never got around to sampling it, we were too amazed by the name to crack it open.
Also, let me add: DO NOT DRINK alcohol if you are underage! And not even if you are of age! Alcoholism is not cool – it's even less cool than smoking, and smoking is the most uncool thing ever!I know, right? Check out these uncool losers smoking.

Currently mixing beer, vodka and plum juice.
God help me tomorrow.
The world could be ending tonight (Google "September 23 2015" or "Wave X") so I hope you guys are as drunk as I am. We gotta give life as we know it a good send off.In case the world really does end, at least I got a beer. In case it doesn't, at least I got a beer.
i am here and idon't even care if i can't spell words right any more let me go finish this bottle i'll see you all laters
my life is so sad.
EDIT: Soemoen please tell me that my life isn't sad because I will believe you.
EDIT2: is this thread for inebriated people to post in? if not I apologize.
I'm doing SCIENCE! "Beer before liquor, never sicker, liquor before beer, in the clear"
oh yeah well what if you do liquor before AND after quality beer
huh

Browsed Penny Arcade from ~3 years, bookmarked about 30 stripsJesus Christ, maang! You are in a bad way with the hooch! :<

Addendum: These Penny Arcade strips are fucking CHOICE
For all you young people out there.
Don't drink. It's fun during that night but the next day is just awful.
Although these groups showed a slight improvement in how they felt compared with those who hadn't drunk water
Alcohol tolerance is pretty extreme, on a side note. The first time I got drunk, it was sixpack of light beer. I was light sensitive and hurling all the next day, I felt like I was in the middle of a bad flu but with more headache. Now I basically never get hangovers anymore. A lot of it is pacing and learning when to stop, though... I probably drank those six beers in an about an hour.
I had too much kraken and 2 bottles of hard root beer. It's nasty sober, just beer with a root beer taste, but when 6oure already tipsy is so good.Noice.
I'm fcuk 9ltyan goodness for auto correct
You know when you fill in those medical forms that contain "How many units do you drink per week?", what do you write down?Yes, but only because I take a perverse pride in what I do to myself.
...Does anyone actually tell the truth on those things?

Does anyone else feel like a separate person when drunk?State-dependent memory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-dependent_memory) sorta means that you actually are a different person while you are drunk. Your memories are going to be remembered differently because you learned them in one state or another, and then throw in the fact that several inhibitions/emotional things function somewhat differently while you are drunk, and yeah, you are definitely pushing that "a different person" level.
Elgoonishshive-style, a separate person with a shared set of memories. But different ethics, and even maybe access to different recent memories.
I've actually written messages to my sober self, most of which I didn't have the courage to read while sober. I saw them, they were right on the desktop, but I didn't dare read my less-inhibited thoughts.
Maybe because somewhere in my files, I have some audio logs which explain why I hate a certain family member. But I'd rather bury the past and try to patch things up.
... And case in point, while drunk, I don't know why I would want to do that.
Does anyone else feel like a separate person when drunk?Apparently I didn't respond to this before- yes, yes, definitely.
I've taken a liking to hard cider. I've tried several kinds and brands, but my favorite is a local brand of granny smith apple cider. I find the sour apple and alcohol really complement each other somehow.Haha, I'm so used to buying 1.25l bottles of hard cider that when you said you didn't drink much, "maybe two bottles at a time" I did a double-take. :P
I usually don't drink to much at a time, maybe two bottles at a time, which gives me a decent buzz. I can't afford to get it often, which prevents me from chugging it all, I'd prefer to spread out my luxury.
On the plus side, that moment I slapped on my wig and removed my t-shirt to stand in that Hello Kitty nightshirt was glorious.
Hoo boy, most of the time I'd rather be either sober or drunk. Being tipsy means that I'm drunk enough to do stupid things but sober enough to care that I am about five minutes after the fact.
Seems the majority of the folks here drink to lubricate their social skills.
Does being baked as heck count?I wouldn't think so... although such a topic probably wouldn't be allowed a thread of its own. :-\
Belly up to the bar friend, have another round

So how do you guys manage to obtain any fun from putting sour mouth burning liquid into your throats? :-\It makes one stupid, and you find more enjoyment in the little things that you go through more automatically when you're operating at normalcy.
I pity those who fail to appreciate the value of a decent drop.You know, that's a good way of looking at it. I've given up trying to explain the joys of liquor to the non-believers on this forum.
Speaking of, is it possible to just open one's throat and pour liquid down? Has anyone succeeded at that? Probably not, and I won't be trying.
Hey guys I want to convince a girl to friendzone me whilst I'm too drunk to think that it's a socially unacceptable line of discussion. How do?Why is that so unacceptable? Or are you wanting to actually keep her as a friend afterwards? I guess "We should stay friends" could be kinda insulting.
EDIT: On that note, my grandfather has wayyyy too many bottles. It's sort of like he's expecting a party of 50.Sounds like a fine liquor collection indeed. As long as those bottles aren't getting replaced often, I wouldn't worry. :v Whoah lookit that emoticon, it really works here for some reason.
Why is that so unacceptable? Or are you wanting to actually keep her as a friend afterwards? I guess "We should stay friends" could be kinda insulting. [/size]Well I mean it's hardly normal to say "hey could you please turn me down thanks" is it?
Well, you're asking about normal in this existence so you're clearly drunk. Also it's totally acceptable.Why is that so unacceptable? Or are you wanting to actually keep her as a friend afterwards? I guess "We should stay friends" could be kinda insulting. [/size]Well I mean it's hardly normal to say "hey could you please turn me down thanks" is it?

Oh, are you allowed to post in this thread when not drunk? In that case, does anyone have any suggestions of what to buy with my recently-acquired freedom? In general I'm a fan of spirits, but not vodka.Basically all I drink is the cheap vodkas (because cheap), so take my suggestions with a grain of salt, but a friend of mine had some Coconut Rum the other day that was delicious if you want something yummy.

I pretty much quit drinking after I turned 21. It barely improves my disposition and I go back to my current disposition after I'm sober. I've already lost multiple family members to alcoholism, so I don't feel like devolving into that.Why are you telling us this? ???
Yeah.

I almost made it through Dry January. Almost.There's your error. If you're gonna do a dry month, February's the logical choice. Only 28 days means far higher odds of success. January's 31 days, so you're just making it hard on yourself, especially with leftovers from New Years Eve clogging up the liquor cabinet waiting to be finished.
'tis a bittersweet defeat (I'm drinking vodka & bitter lemon and it tastes abnormally good)

Been testing various Belgian beers recently, and just slammed 3 Gulden Draak.Why do you tempt me when the liquor stores are closed? You, sir, are very, very cruel.
Wheee! 10.5% alcohol, dark beer. VERY tasty. They seasoned it so well, that you don't taste the alcohol, plus it tastes spicey and delicious. Can recommend. Definitly will buy again, to stew meat in. The spicing is marvellous.

Except that January doesn't have any holidays, IE family visits, and February has Singles Awareness Day.
It's the numbness I drink for. Not worrying about family obligations. That only takes 2-3 drinks.You're sortay luckay. I don't feel nothing after 6 drinks, it takes at least 12 to feel totally free from obligayshuns and sheit.
But it's hard to stop thenIt's part of de buzz, if you can get the buzz after 5+ yrs of drinkin, you lucky.
And now I'm at 8 and the tingling is here at the back of my brain and I never want it to stop I want it to
Just, be all I'm thinking about
That part of my thoughts is a constant massage on the back of my skull, making everything okay.
And I'm not doing anything to stupid, except for this. Helgoland. I managed not to.Don't get trigger by famuly sghiittt
Instead I resorted to this, finally, because every now and then I have to.
Wow, family shit really triggers me I guess. Back to simulating a normal person.
I sure do miss the bleeding trees containing trapped souls which hid a fucker in a bird-leg hut who was literally a thousand minds and ALSO completely insane and also an epic wizard who fucked around on a hut full of creepy masks
Picked up some Lamb's Navy Rum. I'm not particularly familiar with rum but I think this is a good one?
I've stopped getting hangover headaches lately. I wonder why that is?
Has something to do with the type of booze, I think. Bum wine and coloured spirits are consistently headache-inducing, vodka much less so, and – miraculously – last night's 20+ drinks of beer did absolutely nothing headache-wise. (All the other hangover symptoms are there, though.)
Beer is wholesome and nutritious; even the toucan knows it's good for you.
Welp, my homemade cider sure turned out gross. Hopefully my next batch is better.How'd ya do it?

Yay, Xanty's getting drunk! ^-^Oh, that wasn't drunk. Hell, I barely got tipsy from that.And here I am very tipsy after 50cl of beer >___>Wait, "cl"? what on Earth kind of measurement is that? :o
Whatever the case, it's more beer than I have, so congratulations. All I have is this hangover... I should probably have a shower.

Liquor is so much cheaper here. The entry-level 0.7l booze bottle is 9 euros, and the no brand thing can be had for 7.I'm crying, for Bacchus' sake, 'tis is sheer crueltie :'<
As popular as they are, I can never really get into those alcoholic versions of typically-nonalcoholic drinks (mostly ginger beer, here). Just seems weird to me, I guess.
Yeah that's pretty much my situation lol.As popular as they are, I can never really get into those alcoholic versions of typically-nonalcoholic drinks (mostly ginger beer, here). Just seems weird to me, I guess.
Those have picked my attention but I can't find them where I live. My go-to place for diverse alcoholic beverages doesn't have them...
Also I find it funny to drink at "awkward" hours when you have a odd schedule of work. Like when you say to someone that you drink in the morning... when you're working night shifts.
Can one of you please explain how the heck people get drunk off of beer? Because I'm working on it right now, but even after four shots of vodka it's a pain.Ugh I can't stand coke or pepsi. Ginger ale maybe.
Just...why don't you just mix a shot of hard liquor into five shots of water and chug it? That'd be a much more enjoyable experience than chugging an entire can of beer. I feel the need to chase this beer with my pepsi but I can't cause I'd just puke on everything. Alcohol isn't supposed to have calories or flavor beyond burn.
As far as I'm aware I'd have to drink...at least five CANS of this stuff to be having a happy time? But that'd take me at least 5 hours. I chugged one in the paragraph above but that wasn't a fun experience.
The journey of getting drunk is half the fun of drinking with friends...You're definitely right about this :D
How does one get drunk on regular beer without adding spirits to it (read: cheating)???By drinking 20 cans in a few hours. It's not that hard, once you've had a bit of practice, and not all that dangerous either, since beer is isotonic (http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/Issues/1996/December/pintaday.asp) as well as diuretic, and therefore won't easily cause overhydration (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication) even if you drink it by the bucketful.
Most beer tastes bad to most people, but all beer appeals to someone. Your initial goal with beer should be to search for what appeals to you. There is a ton of variety, and plenty of different beers don't even really taste similar.So much this. Saying that you don't like juice is just factually wrong if all you've ever had is lukewarm canned tomato juice. And cheap canned lager is not analogous to tomato juice, but faintly tomato-flavored water.
-snip-Actually, I think it would have been on the hood of your car.
But if I had hit someone, it would have been on me.
You folks ever have that problem where you take a sip of whiskey, and wake up in a completely different room the next morning, naked?Erm, no...?
I can barely wait till Wednesday. We've barely even touched on combat, but our coterie is going so well. It's great.Sounds awesome. How did it go?
Uh... Hm! I think I drank myself unconscious. Though mostly because I've been running a longstanding sleep deficit because I can't help but wake up early despite having to stay up late for work. So basically I just relaxed enough to take a nap without any dayterrors, like a normal person.
I also don't seem to have posted anything too bad this time, nice!
I seldom drink except socially. When I do drink I favor red wine. I'll drink other stuff in the right circumstances.
I use beer for cooking quite a bit, though. I've found that it often gives stews and rice a flavor that you don't get otherwise. In fact, with rice I often use exclusively beer, instead of water.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN6zHZYiaRAHere's my preferred song on the subject (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIOVxnrOWYY). Well, unless you go with Snowblind by Sabbath. Or any number of other songs on the same topic, really... if I actually put my mind to it I could probably come up with plenty. I usually prefer songs about booze, though.
except the opposite because I'm a pussy who only consumes legal deadly shit.
Anyway, good luck Yoink. Better to deal without it now, and I'm giving you some earnest good will.Thanks. I'm actually feeling a lot better about the whole thing now. Probably helps that the rep I spoke to had a nice voice in addition to being, well, nice.
Inb4 Yoink drinks his way through all his cash on the first night and is depressingly booze-less on the second.It happened.
Is strategically getting drunk (ie getting drunk with a preplanned set of behaviours you plan to exhibit and then pointing to the alcohol as the cause) a thing people commonly do? Because I believe I'm probably going to do that tonight, for a reason that sounds only slightly unnecessarily complicated.Well, never mind that. I clearly underestimated the strength of this stuff.
I'm an idiot, not stupid, after all.
Drunk is inability to type.Haha, have to strongly disagree there. At least for me.

Usually I got mildly drunk and chatted with my friends
Tonight we're all drunk and it's so great
Also, it's so much easier to get drunk right now, since I haven't been drinking nearly as much recently.

Sorry to hear that. :(This is Tankard Basher. Not by Tankard, but a DF fan song. I love drinking to this guy's work, especially this one!
I'd share my beer, but you exist in some nebulous place on the other side of the internet. Alas.
Related: I am listening to Tankard. Great band.
Maybe their new stuff isn't quite as good as their classic albums, but it's still an enjoyable listen. At least whilst drinking beer, anyway!
Ive had too much.You need pizza and some sleep.
You know when youve had too much? Yep.
Im there.
Im feeling like curling into a ball near a fire, meat in my belly, strange tongue babbling out of giant flat faced monsters thir tiny ears unresponsive to my delight and euporia, smells of singed earth and hair, the world fades as my eylids close.
Only to awake to cold winds, the hot embers glowing as spirits whistle through limbs above me, where has my warmth gone? My belly is no longer filled, my eyes adjust and I can see the giants have retired to sleep, the stars and moon unhinderd by clouds shower light into most shadows, blurred in vision I scan around myself to detect movement.. none.
Maybe I should sleep by a giant, they warm me up quickly. Atleast until I get chased away.
Giants are fickle, always doing strange things, seeming to have no routine, I have a routine why cant they!
Mm yes I was right flat faces are very warm
Is there a... thing ... where your liver starts to hurt when you've had too much to drink? Can you actually feel your liver like that? I dunno if is really my liver, might be abdoimnal muscles or some shit like that.EDIT: WHen I think about it, I've havern't actualy had a sober day since late June, so there's that..,
I don't know where my liver is and don't feel like checking (mmm post-work IPAs)I have a bitf of trouble bending over... it's kinda on t he right side, under the ribcage...
But uh, when I go to far, I often get a persistent tender soreness on my lower right side, towards my back.
Which I think is where kidneys are?
I seem to remember the liver being higher than that...
Still, it aches some to touch, so I take it as a sign to back off for a few days.
Mm, got a 12-pack of nice local IPA. Cost about twice as much as the rice swill I usually drink, but is bitter and has some actual fizz and taste.Heeey fucker, work cancelled permanently in a few months.
Plus, it's 1.5x as alcoholic, so it's actually not *that* cost-ineffective!
Work thing cancelled at last minute, so looks like I can get back into them earlier than I thought :D

Anyway, I've adopted a "fridays only" drinking regime from now on, and I'm about halfway through a slab of cheapest beer money can buy around here. ^__^Bahaha, I'm sorry but this is amazing. :))
E: Oh for fucking fuck's sake, it's still Thursday! Nevermind.
Made some some sangria, a bottle of white wine, half a bottle of rum, some orange juice, some sprite and some fresh fruit. Turned out alright. I didn't plan on drinking it all, but it went down pretty easy.Heresy! Sangria is supposed to have red wine! Burn, burn BURN!

Well yeah, as someone mentioned in another thread, drinking water in between booze is a good idea if you can't handle tha hangover.I used to do that, drink water between pints.
I mean... I'm pretty sure it's worked for me in the past. I dunno, I usually forget. >.>
I miss the days when I was young and indestructible and hangovers seemed like something that happened to old people and at worst I'd wake up a bit tired after a wild night. Although then again, I was doubtless more of a lightweight back then and it took far less to get me drunk.
Actually I think my alcohol tolerance may have dropped a lot since I moved... don't get many chances to test it.
Sober for 6 months! Wooo!You may be in the wrong thread :P
:P
Left-handed friends; in drunk, at least:

Because I am very right-handed, and point sources always flow hard right when I'm drunk and I try my best to focus on them.

...Did I eat anything but wine today?Interesting, haven't noticed that myself but I've never really thought about it before. Will have to observe my drunken eating habits in future.
Well, I way overate yesterday, so I suppose it's fine. Wine has quite a bit of sugar anyway.
And actually, I'm still experiencing a weird thing. If I don't drink wine, I get extremely hungry. Even gluttonous... which is a sensation I'm not exactly used to. But if I have some red wine, I don't get the sensation. It's bizarre. I guess it started when I recently began drinking red wine regularly, but I've never heard of such a problem.
I'm not hungry, so yay diet?
I was mixing it with Canada Dry LOL :P No wonder I dreamed about college. Though I always hated the vodka even in soda. Even bottom shelf rum's better to me.Reminds me of the time I was tearing down the garden fence with my neighbour - the fence had rotted over with time, and a storm had damaged what already needed replacing. Breaking it all up we got the posts together and all the boards and made a bonfire that burned from day till night, and there was no better time than at the end of the day with all work done to sit by the fire drinking a 15 year old scotch whisky made nowhere else than in Scotland; that right there, perfection to nourish the soul.
Maybe I'll try some real rum sometime. Expensive whisky and bourbon were actually pretty impressive, I recall.
Ah yes, the infamous gold cans. As the story goes, Queensland named it's local brew XXXX because they couldn't spell 'beer.' Still, we also claim Bundaberg Rum as part of our state alcohol claim to history, so there is that. Mostly because it's good sugar cane country.Naw, it's because the rating system for beer quality consisted of one, two or three "X"s.
Guess what, people? It's my birthday tomorrow!Happy Birthday!
I have already invited one friend I don't see enough to come drink with me, but the question still remains as to what I shall be drinking. I suppose I could just pick up a slab of the ol' Hammer 'n' Tongs bitter for a mere $38, but I might grab myself a bottle of my beloved Southern Comfort after all. I am going to be turning twenty-four and drinking is still the only thing I'm really good at, after all, so I may as well embrace it. :P
Also I'll probably buy a box of Mountain Dew cans, since they're currently still on special for $10 at the supermarket adjoining the liquor store.
What else should I chuck into this hypothetical SC and MD cocktail? Or perhaps I should buy some more 'normal' spirits... decisions, decisions.
Happy Birthday!Thanks! It's going alright so far. :)
Huehuehue. The worst part about it is that at 33, you'd think I'd have girl issues firguted out.
I am falling in love with Bud Light Lime, and now I just wish there was a non-Anheuser-Busch version of it, because that company is a sellout piece of shit that doesn't deserve to eat American shit, much less sell in mah Murica. >.>

If you're falling in love with Bud Light Lime, you have more problem than AB's business practice.
There is an ancient Klingon proverb that says: "You cannot loosen a man's tongue with root beer."
I have beer! And two (small) bottles of whiskey! :DYeah, never buy your booze on-site. Why get gouged when it's easily avoided by preparing ahead of time?
So much cheaper than buying drinks later on when I go out to see bands. Just have to not be too drunk to get in...
Usually he joins his fallen brothers in the recycling within a few days.
I'm not sure how or whether to say this, or if it makes any sense. Pretty sure it comes off as offensively artiste and shitty.It all makes sense to me, not sure what you're worried about. O.o
Feel pity for us Australians. Not only do we have some of the highest alcohol taxes in the world, we're also legally banned from selling alcohol from grocery stores. Only licensed stores that exclusively sell alcoholic drinks are allowed to stock alcohol for retail sale. Good luck finding a 6 pack of anything for less than $12 too, barring the absolute bottom of the barrel.Not in Melbourne, thankfully!
I taste the glorious madness on my tongue. Cheap box wine.Goon. 'Scalled goon. I graciously permit you to use the convenient Australian term for such glorious, attractively-packaged liquid.
I have developed a love for Irish Carbombs. It's a shot of Irish Cream, dropped into a suitable beer pint. You then chug the whole shebang in one go.
With a nice Stout or nutty beer, it tastes like the smoothest, creamy deliciousness.
Guinness is good. It is not by any means the best stout, but unlike a shockingly high number of stouts, its taste is pretty subdued. Honestly, I love porters and stouts, but man far too many are syrupy, sugary messes. Guinness, at least, is not that.I cannot find real Guiness anymore. Back in my student days, I remember buying bottled Guinness, which starts out as 9%, and if you leave it for a few months, it can go up to 11-12%.
Sounds like a fun time to me. Dad drinks can be a good way to bond with the ol' man, in my experience.Yeah, a couple drinks let me speak to my dad on the same level. Usually about politics.
Or at least have less of the mild awkwardness that I tend to encounter with mine. *shrug*

However, all the 'Guinness' they sell now at my supermarket / liquor store is only, what is it, 6 or 6.5%. What happened to the real Guinness?
Ireland is hogging the real stuff, I guess. See the world, drink its fluids.

I have a theory that all really good alcohol is keept by the makers, think of the good wines and whiskys are mosty labled in the local language with just a few words of engish/ german/french, just whats legally needed for sale.
But the crap that gets more engish/german/ french on the lable that is fore export A.K.A not really that good.
You see a really great wine will bearly leave the vinyard, every worke , the local mechanic and restaurants hears that it's good and takes a case or two as payment becouse this is really a great wine, one to keep for years to come.
So the few cases that do get to the open market are snaped up in to wine merchant catalogues.
But bad wine? that gets covered in english andd sold off cheap to the local supermarket chain.
It's stuff that would never sell to anyone that can buy better drink.
Export means the locals will not drink this. (show me a good single malt wisky that say export prominently)
This is the awesome thread.
That was not awesome.
Be awesome to everyone, man.
Last time I took one of my buds drinking he got plastered and went up and down the road impaling everyone's phone books on the iron fences along the way.
No joke.

Have you been sober since the 90's or what?
I mean I took a "friend" drinking on his 21rst and he shouted at a cop and shitted on someone's floor.Was it his first time drinking?
I would love to say more, but I'm a better drunk than that fuck.
I know better than to betray *others*.
Yeah, I see you, man.
I mean I took a "friend" drinking on his 21rst and he shouted at a cop and shitted on someone's floor.Once, years ago when I was very much a novice drinker, I accidentally peed on a cop car.
I went to Rome with my highschool class a long time ago. I was very much a novice drinker back then, too, and rum only cost about 2 euros per liter in Italy, back in the days.
So yeah, I got royally drunk there.
It wasn't a police car. It was worse, and could have ended in pain. I peed against the presidential palace, just barely out of sight of the machine-gun armed guards. I was very lucky there that I didn't pee 2 steps around the corner, the presidential guard wasn't known to be very friendly or forgiving.
I salut [sic] your self-control, the best part of having a glorious night.Salutations returned!
What an adventure you had! Thank you for sharing.
Ginger ale does the same for me. I love the bite of ginger while sober, and it is ex-cellent at masking the bite of liquor.Ginger ale is just in general fantastic all round. Does root beer do a similar job? I've never known, as I've always found it rather hard to come by root beer
Or simulating liquor, when I need to dismiss a craving.
Also, uh, good luck with your public transportation quest. I hope you got to that place you were trying to get to. Glad your battery's charged, that really does help.Thanks, yeah I made it. Didn't even get home overly late, compared to sometimes.
Sorry, turns out that having housemates again kinda reduces my interest in booze-fueled vision quests :PMixing rum, v8 and ginger ale results in a concoction that's worse than all of its ingredients.
This must be that "social drinking" thinger!
Speaking of, one of them saved a whole bottle of Jim Beam from a dead relative's house. He said it was probably going to be thrown out, which I found horrifying. The three of us did shots and daaaaaamn, it's nice to taste good stuff occasionally. Smooth, instead of like vinegar.
In fact I'm pretty sure it was heresy for them to do shots. I held it in my mouth for a while because, you know, it actually tasted good. But hey, I didn't buy it :D
(Looks like it's "only" about 3X more expensive than what I'm used to... pretty tempting. Though the idea we came up with was starting with shots of good stuff, then switching to the Admiral Nelson or whatever.)
Edit: And heck yeah, cheap rum with ginger ale is my jam! That or V8 juice. Honestly the vinegar taste just disappears into tomato juice, for me.
...so it was quite a good workout lugging them all the way home in the heat - but, I stopped to get beer en route!Hooray! I got me a six-pack of Sol! About to finish off the first of them now. Not quite as cold as it ought to be on a day like this hopefully the others are colder after their stay in my fridge... perhaps the big refrigerator at the Bottle-O is a bit weak on it.
Saturday!
With a day off work, I've got a little project in the works. I picked up some lumber from the local hardware store, and I'm gonna smash together a cubby house for the kids. Got the tykes cleaning up the garage now, and nothing mixes better than booze and power tools.

What's fun is how I woke up. Empty plate of beans, 3/4 full bag of popcorn. Fallen London up, somehow unaccountably peckish again. Phone open to Pokemon Silver, trying to defeat a donphan with an underlevelled meowth named after my dead cat. Facebook up, aw crap, and sure enough I "waxed nostalgic" on a picture someone posted of a hiking trail. And Steamband, that kinda-racist roguelike, running the kinda-racist character creation.I'm seething with envy right now. My day consisted of lawnmowing, vacuuming, mopping, and laundry, followed by a few scant hours of drunken video games before cooking dinner and washing up dishes. Work has stalled on the kid's cubby house, as my current handsaw isn't up to the task of cutting out a door. Need bigger tools, ugh, ugh, ugh.
Friend and I went out for more pokestops despite the cold weather, and had some grape leaves for lunch (:
Life is either suffering, or worthless.
Edit: Haha, wtf did I mean by that? And why did I get so wasted when I needed to get up early?
Well... I actually avoided a hangover, got relatively much sleep, and honestly enjoyed myself instead of just surviving. Huh.
I've always wondered, about the teletubbies. Is that just a dutch thing, or did we import that from the US?
Well, good for you, mang. I live in a share house!You mean, you all share one pair of boxers and it's not your turn?
Rum and ginger ale is still lovely, though.
Soon I shall enter the sweet blissful embrace of whiskey, Irish Red Ale, and rum. Not mixed mind you, separately.
Sequences and sequences, intertwined, avoiding resolution.
... Fuuuck, I'm drunk. The above is family, politics, and recent conversations. All at once. Because the nature of humanity is to seek contradiction, conflict.
We play a good game, but at the end, it's not the great game. It's not even our own game.
The purpose of life is42the continuance of bad debts.
The fight against those whoe encroach. To defend that which you own.
And the fight against those who don't deserve what they hold. They are weak, lazy, unworthy!
We play the game to survive. And they laugh at us.
My parents brought me some real absinthe from Germany. It's in a little unmarked glass bottle and bright green. Truly a beverage of grandiose stature. I've been savoring small shots of it on special occasions. The stuff they sell here doesn't even compare.But out of the stuff they sell here, what would you recommend? Trying to try some.
Uh got a fifty dollar fifth from a Macadoodles near here of absinthe that was good. Passable but not the OG stuff. I'll have to check there again to get the brand.I have no idea what you mean.
Meanwhile, I'm drinking tequila of high quality, Corona lite cuz I missed the extra, and some potent nasal vasoconstrictor. If you know what I mean.
Ah, I personally don't mix my soft drinks with my alcohols. Though I do hope you are enjoying soft drinks and alcohol responsibly. We care about your well being. Have fun, stay safe.This honestly made me chuckle. :))
Calling Corona a soft drink is fairly reasonable, honestly. Corona lite even more so.Ah, I personally don't mix my soft drinks with my alcohols.

I don’t think i’m succeedng in that regard, two beers this evening over the course of an hour, and I’m sufficiently tipsy to have lost some inhibitions regarding actually posting things on the forum and a little bit wobbly on my feet.Depends on the beer, really... Downing a couple pints of 11.5%-12% imperial stout or barleywine will put lots of people on their sea legs, what with the carbonation.
Yeah basically vinegar and a dash of dill. Fuck inferior sweet pickles. Dill pickle master race.Except for sweet gherkins! Those are awesome.
I used to drink lots of gin. Never understood why people hated it, always assumed it was some kind of silly social stigma.
I don’t know how to fix a car, why can’t I spend thousands of dollars I don’t have on a new shell that’s got slightly fancier widgets inside?Oh no I started shit while drunk XD
Yeah basically vinegar and a dash of dill. Fuck inferior sweet pickles. Dill pickle master race.Yeah, blugh, I got some sweet pickles ("for sandwiches" it said) and couldn't stand them. Got a bottle of proper dills today.

I tried to explain the Traxus concept (re: Bungie) like four times, but he was sleepy as I was drunk. It's not that complicated, really.
An algorithm in charge of a moon of Mars achieves self awareness and starts executing "rampancy", a series of steps along the lines of the stages of grief.
It gets murdered in an impressive outpouring of fear, but not quite.
Future AIs inhabiting the moon surreptitiously learn from its example.

As an aside, I recently discovered that our local gov't booze outlet is selling these little miniature bags of wine... it's like a Capri Sun, except it's chardonnay. Perfect for hiking and picnics!The nearby Trader Joe's has those, like little paper juice boxes. Mostly sweet fizzy whites, but there are mini Bota Boxes of real wine. Relatively quality, heh.
...except not, because it's illegal to drink in public areas. Imaginary hikes then, like I usually opt for.
And yet, somehow, we manage to buy enough of this to maintain our frightening incidence rate of drinking problems. It is a mystery...Distilling your own booze is currently illegal in Australia too.
Of course, 100% alcohol is free of tax when purchased through pharmaceutical wholesalers...
If you chase tequila with corona, it tastes exactly like a cigarette butt.Usually it only tastes like that if someone used your bottle as an ashtray while you weren't looking

Ahh, Everclear... Where it's nEverclear what you did that night!Last Wednesday I started mixing it with juice to get a good idea on the kind of ratios I should use (I was going to use it in a big 2 gallon mixed drink for a party). Coincidentally, I don't remember what happened last Wednesday night.
I urinated on my girlfriends painting (with her permission)
And here's a proper bar song!Thanks for that! I've been reading a bunch of HFY! and that one really hit the spot for me.

I'm currently drinking beer and playing DF, sweet... 8)How much beer are you planning on drinking?
First of all, Budweiser is "like making love in a tippy canoe", in that it's fucking close to water.Fine, stick to your gross pecan-beer then, see if I care. It's your loss!
But frick, it's 95F again today...Well, now I'm jealous. Probably even more jealous than I'd be if someone said they were eating a burrito, haha.

Might I suggest a Drunk Fortress (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=116045.0) turn? :D
Maybe some day when I plan on getting properly drunk I'll try a turn in Drunk Fortress. :)
over the course of the rest of the night proceeded to drink double that amount in water (many trips to the bathroom were involved). By the time I lay down to get some sleep I was basically just sober again, a stark contrast to everyone else. Needless to say, there was no hangover the morning after.
fucking birdsI believe the common name is actually lovebirds.
I hope it’s not your wedding, man.If we get married do I get UK citizenship? :P

Also there's a massive moonshining culture in middle-to-northern Norway. Hooch is pretty much the traditional drink, and while quite illegal, there aren't really enough cops to care.Well, this is heartening at least.
Ah yeah, the Andosynth... Gah. Went before their time and before any chance of meeting them.I have some not-entirely-fond memories of an old forum I used to frequent before discovering DF and Bay12, where one of the primary forumites was what I referred to as an "Alcatholic", due to his interesting combination of having a lifetime goal measured in blood-alcohol along with a fervent belief in the Catholic church and its teachings (which he also believed he was actually following). Charming fellow.
Aye though. I don't disagree. What you're drinking, how you're drinking, what you've eaten before drinking... There is a lot of factors. Wish there was a control or something that could be used here...
Actually, you wouldn't be getting nearly as good a deal bringing in fancy stuff as you would bringing in bilgewater. Despite the painfully high cost of low-tier alcohol, Norway actually has comparatively reasonable prices on high-end cognac, brandy, specialty wines and the like. I mean, it's still fucking expensive, but it's fucking expensive everywhere.

As for trusting foreigners, well... If alcohol is involved, then fuck yes we'll trust you. As is proven on a regular basis.
It's very rarely any kind of special drink, it's just some good ol' ethanol (hopefully) in a plastic jug that can alternatively be used to power your lawnmower. It's less "I bet I could make something really tasty with a few extracts" and more "I bet I could make 98%".Actually, you wouldn't be getting nearly as good a deal bringing in fancy stuff as you would bringing in bilgewater.

I've had several friends in south georgia that brew their own alcohol. Strawberry wine, Muscadine wine, apple pie moonshine...
It's the same situation here tbh. They do flyovers to catch bad dudes in south GA or the Appalachians to catch people but as long as you keep it indoors the cops don't care. It's why meth and weed used to be the two biggest drugs here; both things you can make in a house and easily distribute.
In any case, I hope I can try norwegian moonshine someday :)
watching films, including The Big Lebowski - for the first time!Oh man, I hope you liked it! It's something of a cultural classic here. One of those films which defines a type of person.
What's so bad about a busy pub? :c
Unless it's, like, a sportsbar full of TV screens and bogans discussing whatever gross acts of sportage might be taking place on them. Bugger that.
Sounds fairly standard to me, although I guess it depends on how exaggerated that description was. :PIt's not an exaggeration, that's how it is. I can't tell if the people sitting next to me are talking about sports, because I can't even hear what comes out of my own mouth. It's this deafening cacophony and I'd really rather not have that pressing in on me as sweaty overperfumed drunkards fall onto my shoulder when I'm just trying to have a drink and unwind. It rather defeats the purpose.
I am always a little bit drunk, except for the ends of my shifts. I drink before work. Like a lot. Then I drink after work. Sometimes I even go home on my lunch and drink then. At this point, I don't really enjoy drinking anymore. It's just a thing I do. Like taking out the trash or making dinner. I'm an addict. I used to be a drug addict, but got bored and moved on. I'm still an alcoholic but it's getting boring. I'm probably a sex addict, because I spend ninety percent of my workday either flirting with my hot coworker or a friend of mine, or checking out every remotely attractive woman who comes in. I'm insatiable and I never am satisfied.

What?! I don't know if that ritual is cute or even wierder. Aren't you curious at all? I mean even a strict non-alcoholic can do crazy culinary experiments? I hope that's not offensive, I just want to know more.The adrenaline and raised blood pressure/heartrate from a stimulant can balance or outstrip the calming and pressure-lowering effects of a narcotic/relaxant. This is referred to as a "Speedball". However, as stimulants will often have shorter durations of effect when metabolized, this can lead to dangerous or even deadly interactions when the stimulant leaves the body. As the effects initially balance each other out, potentially much greater amounts of the narcotic may be consumed than the individual might otherwise choose/be capable of due to staying awake and alert from the stimulant. When the stimulating effects trail off, the remaining relaxant may lower the blood pressure to harmful, possibly fatal levels.
actually a speedball is when you snort a bump and drink a redbullhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedball_(drug)

Well, since GF has gotten back into Stardew Valley and we've been playing co-op, I can't really go to the pub anymore. Going early in the evening conflicts with time where she wants to play, going later conflicts with her wanting to sleep and get up early.
I really need to learn what kind of ginger ale they use to make their mules... That was some damn good gingery burn.
Well whiskey sour isn't exactly a hobo punch. You got some pristine juice, the 12 y.o.... all you're lacking is a fresh lemon and ice: I say hit life in the nuts with the kind of decandence you'd expect from a 17 y.o. who just used daddy's golden card on a magnum bottle :P.
Limoncello is 2 gud. Counting down the days until my own is ready, which should be in about three weeksAh man, homemade limoncello is some damn good summertime sippin'. Try and resist the taste-testing urge so there's still some left once it's actually matured.
American light beer is like sex in canoes, yes. But some American beers win international awards, competing against German, British, etc beers. So don't judge the whole batch on the cheap tourist shit. 😛Yeah. Difference between Bud Light and Arrogant Bastard. Murrica is a big place, almost as big as Texas.

While in a Catalonian Monastery I purchased a bottle of strong, green liquer - chartreuse, ignorantly selecting the bottle which seemed most intriguing. 130 botanicals and a strength of 55%, brewed by a monastic distillery, I mean you can't buy that in London so of course I purchased it. So there I am reading the Great Gatsby and all of a sudden Gatsby pulls out a bottle of Chartreuse, and I do a double take, because Gatsby is a fancy new money type who purchases good shit to show how good shit he is.

I just spent like an hour arguing with some kid on a flash chat site as to whether there was malware on steam. Going into various minutiae.Do you ever just start looking at fractals in everything. Like how trees and lungs have the same root fractal template for gas exchange. Or how a quartzite brick is triangles all the way down. Few things better than making drunk squad realize all is fractals
Fuck it feels good to be drunk. But I guess it's time to sleep.
Edit: Keep predreaming triangles. Some Sierpensky, some just tessalating as... circles. Forming a dome over my neighborhood.
It's reassuring.
Myself, I have wound up having a Corona (damnit! That's not the only beer they have here! I coulda got Pacifico!) with my burrito, partly out of habit and partially to calm my anxiety-wracked nerves.
At least I can sit here and relax for a moment.
Goddamn, my anxiety really seems to be worse lately. The more I avoid social contact, the more traumatic it becomes.
My quasi-therapist person did mention the possibility of medication the last time I saw her. I did my best not to jump at the chance and seem all excited, but maybe I should make an appointment and express my amenability to that course of action.

Dude, I spent all weekend and most of this last week folding paper triangles for my daughter's origami dragon. Bloody fractals. Glad that's over now.Spoiler (click to show/hide)I just spent like an hour arguing with some kid on a flash chat site as to whether there was malware on steam. Going into various minutiae.Do you ever just start looking at fractals in everything. Like how trees and lungs have the same root fractal template for gas exchange. Or how a quartzite brick is triangles all the way down. Few things better than making drunk squad realize all is fractals
Fuck it feels good to be drunk. But I guess it's time to sleep.
Edit: Keep predreaming triangles. Some Sierpensky, some just tessalating as... circles. Forming a dome over my neighborhood.
It's reassuring.

I'm drunk and high on opiates and listening to a beautiful thunderstorm. Life is good and ima smoke some nowCareful with opiates. That can be dangerous. :(
Oh no, smoke something else. I have smoked pills before though. It's idiotic and tastes like death's ashtray.Yeah, I... I can understand why the idea to do something like that might strike, but I also can very quickly imagine how that would be a really terrible thing to do. I used to have some (admittedly not very "fun") pills that tasted like licking a skunk's butthole, and the idea of inhaling an aromatic cloud of Smoked Skunkbutt doesn't seem very pleasant.
Aw, that's really cool though! I can imagine it would get super boring, but I love the concept.

I was and still am, very drunk last night. I didn't do anything stupid or crass other than drinking a lot more.
I forgot to eat dinner last night. That explains everything.You can get used to it. I normally only eat between 8AM and 1PM, and fast for the other 19 hours. Except for Friday nights, which are for beers and gaming.
Boy, did that throw my sleep cycle for a loop...
Got pretty drunk last night despite my limited funds.
Saw great bands, headbanged my neck into oblivion, and later on dropped a glass (can't remember if there was beer in it or not) and somehow mildly wounded a couple of my fingers in the process.
Also I can now say I've been to Mernda. Twice. >.>
I really need to make a habit of standing up on trains when I'm that drunk or hungover...
Had guys' night in with a buddy yesterday. Homemade tacos al pastor (with a not-entirely-successful attempt at making our own corn tortillas), Back to the Future, and about 4 liters of beer between the two of us. Was fun.
Today started off with an eggs-and-bacon breakfast with hot sauce and Back to the Future II, because gotta keep the spacetime continuity going, right?
Back home now, with chocolates to appease the girlfriend while she combats the Curse of the Red Queen.
I would play that game.I dunno, it's aimed at kind of a niche market of only about half the population... Supposed to be pretty unnecessarily difficult too, at least from what I've heard.
Rolan is corn, the rest of us are organic artisanal exotic fruits. Cept for Yoink, he's corn too.The only corn I particularly like is the popped kind. Though I guess it goes alright in a burrito, too. Also I remember that one Goosebumps book with the scarecrows and its lurid descriptions of corn crops.

Run with tea in it.I also add salt and amaretto to the rum, made it with my brother to reflect our time in the city. Foul, with a bit of grit, yet lingers sweetly before the sweet aftertaste turns to bitter again

Ooh, sounds interesting. I am still yet to try sake.
I think I am definitely tipsy right now, at least, though. This cheap-ass rum goes so well with ginger ale, and the whole mix feels so familiar at this point that getting drunk on it is like sliding slowly, sensually, ceremonially into a much-loved, well-worn pair of comfy slippers.
Or chase it with soy sauce?

Cracked explores ancient alcohol (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGEdFcqt8rw)Shame they don't mention what plant their version of Soma was using... There appears to be a great deal of uncertainty as to what the original recipe called for, so it's not exactly clear what they were tooling with.
I get what you're saying but the reason that I even put absolut there is why that statement is untrue :P. Zubrowka is spiced vodka, that makes it tastier, but the purpose of vodka is to be as tasteless as possible to go into cocktails. Just look at the other spiced vodkas and you'll know what I'm talking about: eristoff vegas, gorbatschow lime, smirnoff rasberry, ciroc pineapple... you name it. Granted Zubrowka isn't as specifically targeted at people who like to get drunk but don't like to physically drink alcohol. But a spiced vodka could never be as versatile as plain vodka. And so if the quality measure is smoothness and tastelesness, that makes it a quite boring competition overall... But yeah zubrowka is a great compromise in all regards ::) :DBesides grit or G&T I rarely go near a cocktail so I'll take your word for it. I'm of the opinion that vodka is best when it tastes cheap or tastes Polish, both with radishes. So ones like Absolut and Smirnoff that upscale the flavournessness or the smoothness of their vodka just turn me off, because I feel like I'm drinking water and not vodka. It's all the venom of being drunk with none of the journey of getting drunk. Maybe with cocktails this changes things, but for me Zubrowka is journey, Absolut is toilet destination ;D
As an aside, drinking while on amphetamines is both exceptionally unhealthy and very unfun.Calling BS on this. Well, I mean... it probably is exceptionally unhealthy, but sometimes the alternative is spending one's every penny on booze and blacking out entirely, soooo... also I can't imagine moonshine being quite so palatable under normal circumstances. :P
...to watch YT nonchalantly. God really?Now that seems kinda wasteful. But I'm sure it was fun nonetheless!

I've refrained from stocking up on more hard liquor, figured I'd just pull trough the bottles on the shelve to buy nothing before and during my upcoming vacations, that drinking daily shit has got to end and a shot of whisky is equally pragmatic as a bong... The Bulleit was intended to be used as cold medecine/ cocktail ingredient, but so long as I'm not drinking my investments or that awful whisky barrel aged rum, I haven't hit rock bottom. Everything is fine :D

And apparently the burn was REALLY bad, heh.
But straight alcohol burns, too, in a similar way. This is about twice as potent.

You drink beer if you love other people.
You drink wine if you love yourself.
You drink gin if you hate other people.
You drink vodka if you hate yourself.

@Kagus: hell yeah, that sounds like an excellent time! Don't be silly, you're gonna have a ball once you get over that initial awkwardness of meeting a whole shitload of new folks. Honestly this sounds like the sort of thing I would drag you along to for your own good if you ever had the misfortune of visiting Australia.Yes, I do love having lots of new people to talk to and not being able to talk to any of them because I can't hear anything while my entire concept of reality is drowned out by some hip-hoptronica dance remix feat. feat. feat. of Day-O (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tou8-Cz8is).
I'm not good at getting drunk enough to take that particular edge off.I have a friend who was kind of like that for a while. Apparently it just takes practice! Or pingas, I guess. Either works.
It's also a very "brown" pubI've no idea what this means. Brown bricks? Brown interiors? Is this a racist thing? Are all their drinks brown?? ???

So, the events of last night will probably be going in three separate threads down here in General Discussion, but i'll start here - In an act of self-destructive curiosity I went out and drank quite a lot. As I'm famous in meatspace for being essentially tee-total, my opener of 6 doubles got some attention. I proceeded to follow it up with a fair few more and other things, until closing time, at which point I wandered over to a club with a couple of mates (I had arranged to crash at the pub I started in, it's owned by a mate) and chatted to the bouncer and patrons over the course of the extra-long night (clocks go back, bitches), even being mistaken for a bouncer several times.I'll have you know that my first attempt at drunkenness was also fueled by self-destructive misery! Glad to hear things worked out alright, at least insofar as managing to have a good time while in the cups.
So, the first time I've ever been drunk went alrightish, and I now see why people get drunk - I can barely even think the things that would normally be harshing up my day (even now, the day after), so it's a win.
It can be cathartic, seems like you hit the sweetspot without overdoing. Keep it rare and precious and you will have the most benefit out of it.

>drinks a depressant to treat it
wat r u doin my man, god gave us tea and spring water for these days
>gets depressionActually not that absurd of a notion... Depression symptoms can frequently be caused by an over-activation of certain brain centers, which then fire off a bit too much, push against each other, and completely wear you down while accomplishing nothing (ADHD hyperactivity/hypomania is conversely the brain feeling under-stimulated, so it starts feverishly trying to keep itself alive by being interested in everything around you, looking for a hook).

God is dead, tea only helps you sleep, and I'd rather have cocaine but fucking authority figures gotta be cunts about that.Most of our forefathers are dead too but we still live on the fruits of their inheritance, so why not drink from the bounty of a dead God?
That said, I'll drink to the subsistence of our society off the blood of dead gods.[Bacchanal noises]
Must. Drink. Moar.
I cannot abide my current level of depression. DEPLOY THE ALCOHOL DEFENSE.
Don't tell me the japanese weren't able to reverse engineer beer; it would be a first.Kirin/Sapporo are perfectly fine if you're eating something tasty and want something bubbly and non-threatening to wash it down with. Other than that... I think they just focus on different things with their beer, honestly.

Holy shit, was it, uh, necessary to go through that level? I either don't remember it or chose not to remember it. Maybe flashes, maybe false memories.
Bbrgh.
I've got some western beers here during my petsitting stay and it's been really nice. It's not Wisconsin nice, but it's real beer! Glorious day.

Hangover anxiety/depression is the freaking worst.
Clearly the solution is to remain constantly intoxicated!
In modern times, some brewers have added sweeteners such as aspartame to their gueuzes to sweeten them, trying to make the beer more appealing to a wider audience.Ew.

Why is this thread so quiet? Depending on your part of the world it is either the hottest or coldest part of the year, and either is a good excuse to drink heavily.Life is currently a series of embarrassments and humiliations made tolerable by their relative acceptability compared to times of drink; thus for now I do not drink.

I'm upset with my stomach. The past few times I've had beers, I started feeling a bit ill after just 2-3 pints. Not even really drunk yet, just sick and bloated.There is no glory in drinking until you realise there is no glory in drinking. Abandon pretences of prideful sloshing and awaken the drunken sourer; is there nothing more hateful than a suburban housewife, did the Nords not choose a drink brewed from honey as their sweet poison, did the Romans not poison their conquests with leadened whites OR reds? No reason then to find disgrace whether you are walking into a bar and ordering a neon pink sex on the beach or walking into a pub and ordering a glass of milk.
Meanwhile, I still can't take straight spirits of any sort. The alcohol taste just hits me with an instant urge to retch... And cocktails are all either 50% sugar and 2% alcohol, or they're a bitter bumfuck designed for the demanding tastes of a psychopath.
What's left, wine? Buh... I already pickle myself with sulfites from excessive balsamic vinegar usage, and the choice between red and white is the choice between stained everything and being a suburban housewife.
I'm an embarrassment to my Nordic ancestry. Shit, I'm a disgrace to my American ancestry.

One theory states that the historic Caesar adapted the words of a Greek sentence which to the Romans had long since become proverbial: The complete phrase is said to have been "You too, my son, will have a taste of power," of which Caesar only needed to invoke the opening words to foreshadow Brutus' own violent death, in response to his assassination.

Double browns. Lion brown, lion red, DB draught. Rheineck.Just to be clear this list was a shit beer list. This is if you want to sample our nations shitty beer.
Kagus, I hope that's not too much embellishment, because holy cow I've got a bit of a self-respect stiffy just reading that. Sorry yon cake sniffer intruded on your hipster brew time, but it sounds like you did great.I didn't outright tell him to piss off, but other than that it's fairly faithful... Switching between Norwegian and English (I tend to swap over to English when I'm particularly aggravated about something) seemed to confuse him a fair bit, and he probably still thinks we're good buddies. Real funnyboy.
Walked among the thorns and the vines.
And the mountain laurel, hypocritically along the lowland river.
So much to be said, and nothing I'm fit to say. It was a good evening.
Oy, Castlecliff- does that mean that the Moas brand stuff is swill too, or is that proper good stuff? I've heard mutterance about the double browns, I'll remember that if I see manes, they be lion about the quality of their brew.Yeah Moa has good beers. I'm sure wakachangi beer does some good shit too but I haven't tried personally.
What chu on about?It was more a statement of my own inebriation, coming home at 3 in the morning. Also a description of what I rather expected to happen either in a few moments or the day after.
I haven't vomited in... a while, if that's what you're asking.
If you drink a load of these (https://www.barstoolsports.com/dmv/lucky-charms-beer-has-arrived), do you think you'd vomit rainbows?That's only slightly more ridiculous than a number of beers I have seen, and a few I have tasted. Like that horrifically saccharine pecan pie pastry stout.
Ohhh, right, I getcha. I think the question marks made me assume that was directed at me, haha. Sounds like you had a solid night!The night was indeed a lot of fun, even without much of anything happening. Just feels nice to be part of something, y'know?
Good luck holding down ya breakfast!
Congrats Caz! Welcome back. :)
In other news, I feel like I have figured out the appeal of coke. You just need to do more!

Quite true. I've taken dumps that filled me with more pride than the actions of some people I've met.Christ. Feelings are some dumb shit, ain't they?
Hey don't talk like that, manure has it's perks mkay?! As the popular saying goes: why offend feelings with shit if you can offend shit with feelings, amirite?
Southern Comfort is doing a promotion, where buying a ten-pack of premix lands you a free pair of shoes! Not exactly the sort of thing I'd normally wear, but they're close enough and it's not like I usually need an excuse to stock up on SoCo, is it?
Even if it is the canned variety.
Heck, I'd buy you a pint if I could.
Unrelated to the pub comments though, you're taking the right steps in order to take care of yourself, keep it up.
Jesus turned water into wine. I plan to try a similar yet different process, turning beer into urine.
Thankfully, no other hangover symptoms other than profuse sweating and some shakiness. But still, having a whole day be "puke and nausea day" isn't a whole lot of fun.

... lacking any knowledge of Chinese jiu brews or Chinese characters. I have however had some luck with some really good Chinese yellow wine.
Are you sure that’s wine?It's not wine; yellow wine is just the closest English translation for 黄酒 / huangjiu I've heard
Are you sure that’s wine?It's not wine; yellow wine is just the closest English translation for 黄酒 / huangjiu I've heard
Jiǔ is a catch-all term for alcoholic drinks, basically. Yellow wine is as good a term as any, unless you know exactly which kind of huángjiǔ it is. Sounds like it was mǐjiǔ/rice wine/basically sake?No idea what the exact name is, but yeah I've had entertaining conversations with people talking about how much they hate "white wine" here because they translate white wine to clear spirits like vodka or gin, and think of white wine as white grape wine
This spot if infested with mycelium and someone has dug up most of them. I fo my best to regenerate and redistribute the mycelium and spores.Farming plump helmets?

Well not really farming cause I'm not profiting.
I've been thinking a beer with psilocybin or psilocin in it would be nice. It would probably degrade or something though.
Hhmmm
Eh wot? (https://www.denverpost.com/2019/05/08/denver-psychedelic-magic-mushroom/amp/)
Not getting much done today despite all ambitious plans, so might just as well chug down a couple of beers.Hell yeah, brother! Cheers! 🍻
Was walking along the path then I saw some psilocybe subaeruginosa and I ate them.Yay!
Love that path.
After that, I've got most of a 20-oz of sprite and the dregs of a bottle of Kahlua. It's...good enough for a 3rd drink....please tell me you're not mixing those together.

Oh hey, somebody doing a music. I'd like to do a music someday... Then I wouldn't feel like I have to hide my guitar.
I'll never fathom the appeal of bai jiu, from the bottle my sister brought home when she went to visit her husband's family in China, it tastes to me like banana-flavored window cleaner. I feel like I've already said as much here, though.Accurate
also, holy hell half a bottle of the stuff, zoinks
Anyway, the beer tastes nice and all, but the bottles are kinda... too ergonomic. Like, it's smooth and pleasant to drink from, really pleasant, almost to the point of being sensual. Each swig feels like the tenderest of kisses. Help me, I'm sinking into a makeout sesh with Lady Liquor.
More on-topic, I recently took up homebrewing as a hobby. My first batch of mead was passable, but weak. The next should be much better, much stronger, and taste of strawberries.
Yes! Another one! Mine's not quite ready to drink but I'm hoping it'll be ready this weekend.
I'm making a few short meads, so not long. A week or two. Then I plan on bottling, sampling anything left over, and then stowing the bottles somewhere and hoping that "bottle aging" is a thing. These are my first batches so I'm by no means an expert.
Thanks for everything.Whatever this forum was, we were in it together, through magma and hellfire
Drinking wouldn't do you any harm, either.
@Kagus: quick dude, scrub that post and drink more 'til you forget it all! I'll scrub mine too after ya do.
Also the really cute bartender who I was kinda smitten with appeared to tell one of her co-workers to continue refusing to serve me. Feelsbadman.Y'see man? Never fall for bartenders... It can only end poorly.
I found something in the woods now I feel funny.
I have whisky.Don't sweat it, whiskey basically counts as bread or pasta or some shit anyway. Yay for priorities!
I have no food.
I pour too hard.
Oops.
Only if you mix it with some grain product.Whisky already is a grain product, so it automatically completes its breakfast self.
Luckily, beer.
tbh if you wan't incentive to stop drinking move to mozzi country, the more you drink the more mosquitoes smell you and the more they biteFor a second I thought you were using "mozzi" as a term to describe muslims. Then the mosquitoes came.

Uhhh... Yeah.
Pub. Beer. There was a Scotsman here a while ago, but he's since left.
You get the gist.
I've never seen the point of strip clubs, personally.

I mean, are they just some kind of relic from the days before high speed internet made seeing lady parts available from the comfort of your own home? I've been to a fair few clubs in the past, sometimes with girlfriends, sometimes with guys, bucks parties and so on, but never really saw the attraction. Since it's all 'look but don't touch' it never really did anything for me. I suppose if you're saving up stuff for the ol' spank bank maybe, but again, why do you think the net was born?

I don't think that's what tutors are supposed to do.We clearly haven't been watching the same educational videos.
Gonna have to fire someone tomorrow, so I'm preemptively drinking. Hopefully she doesn't cry too much. I hate it when they cry.when you drink the day before because she will be fired - thats harsh.
Also, I read today that drinking alcohol is borrowing happiness from tomorrow. Hangover + anxiety/depression that might last a week. But also, tomorrow is Monday, and I'm not going to enjoy that anyway.

Pfft. Anxiety/depression is yesterday, today, and probably tomorrow. The only downside of a hangover is the goddamn nausea. Headaches are fine, tiredness is all the time anyway, but I really don't like that heavy feeling on the belly, and the tension all the way up the throat.
Haven't been like that for a while though. Living in a place in which the only way to get to a pub is to drive is kinda sucky.

It was a Friday night. And delegate George Washington promptly went on the bender that began America.
At City Tavern, the framers' unofficial watering hole four blocks from Independence Hall, Washington was the guest of the Light Horse of Philadelphia, a volunteer cavalry corps that had crossed the Delaware with Washington and wintered at Valley Forge. The First Troop, as the unit came to be known, could fight. And boy could they drink.
From the archives, the republic's founding bar tab:
- 54 bottles of Madeira wine.
- 60 bottles of claret.
- 22 bottles of porter.
- 12 bottles of beer.
- 8 bottles of cider and 7 large bowls of punch (both of which were probably alcoholic).
In all, according to the itemized bill for the evening from the troop's archives, more than 45 gallons of booze were served to "55 gentlemens," who also got dinner, fruit, relishes and olives. The nine musicians and seven waiters ran up their own liquor bill (21 additional bottles of wine) that the troop paid for. There was a line item for cigars and candles and another for the broken wine glasses, decanters and tumblers.

Ok then I'm just going to assume they're filthy colera avoidant casuals.
Is Tinder really that popular?I dunno, I feel like most good-looking folks with a modicum of self-confidence use it at least once or twice.
Is Tinder really that popular?
Since I've been out of the singles game a long time, I don't really have any experience with this sort of stuff. I'm curious whether it's really creating what the newspapers claim is the casual hook-up culture of modern singles.
I'd assume it's just full of horny guys wasting their time in a void without a single interested woman, much like most other online dating thingabobs.
You still see a lot of 'faith comes firsts' and 'I love Jesus' if you're, say, some twenty or thirty miles out from a decent city in the Midwest. And single mothers. And 'feed me tacos' and 'i just want your dog' and 'i love to laugh.'
Well, when you put it that way, maybe 40% put something on their profiles. Otherwise it's just like instagram links or a whole lotta nothing.
I can't wait to move into the city to then be disappointed that it's not much better there. Maybe I gotta fall back on being an exotic foreigner again in a year or two. Kagus, they hiring nerds out there? The words 'if you don't like it, leave' are ringing about in American ears this week, and I'd really like to visit a doctor for a basic checkup, hehe.

Still better than what I experienced: 90% have absolutely no profile text at all, most of the remaining 10% just describe themselves using a string of emojis. Or instagram links.
As for hiring nerds, sure... I've got a drinking buddy who speaks about 12 words of Norwegian and works full time as a sysadmin for the national broadcasting service. But as for being an exotic foreigner, I dunno man... 80% of the people in this neighborhood are 1st or 2nd generation immigrants, so you're gonna have to compete with that. And we still get people who tell my Finnish friend to go back to Poland, so...
The fact that a significant part of the population here is originally from Pakistan or Somalia makes it really freaking funny when the ultra-racist populist political parties try doing their little shows down here about how Islam is the most dangerous religion... Kinda seems like they picked the wrong crowd, y'know?
And yes, there are now "Re-elect Trump 2020" stickers slapped along the central bridge here in the city. I still don't really know who they're trying to reach with those.

w8 what? you get to vote in 2020?
There is hardly any point besides voting in the democratic primaries, evenso the country is gerrymandered to shreds, I hope you're registered in a "flyover" state :P. It is a big priviledge though, that election affects every inch of the planet.Actually I don't even know where I'm registered these days, and my folks don't even have a permanent address in the US anymore... Judging from a cursory glance, it looks like last state of residence (or parents' residence) counts, which would mean Nevada.
What are they building the train first?It's summer, which means they're doing maintenance work while "everyone" is on vacation and therefore not at all inconvenienced by having to take the hot, stuffy, poorly-ventilated bus replacement service instead of the train during the hottest months. And as with most maintenance, you want to close off every parallel track on the nearly 40-kilometer stretch so that no trains at all can run on any track for that entire distance. With such a tall order, you obviously need enough time to get all the maintenance work done, so it's completely closed for about one and a half months.

Next time I might attempt mango habanero or something.
"At least" implies "could more than that".Jeez. You could buy at least two dozen beer bottles for that price here in Russia.
Not more than that? If we're talking vulgar pils I can get you 24x25cl below 20€... For 40€ you'd get a box (24x) of most fancy beers.
So, I met a couple friends out at the usual pub for a drink or two, to unwind after the week.
A few hours later, they've dressed me up as a pimp and I'm parading them around town as my multicolored hoes. I got home at 3:15.
It was a fun night.
If you like the intensely saccharine normal Kahlúa, then more power to you... But if it's just a touch too much, then try and get your hands on some Kahlúa Especial. Less sugar, much stronger coffee flavor, higher percentage. I'd never be able to drink the normal one neat, but Especial works quite nicely.

I want to try and make mead, but it will have to wait until we have our own place. I doubt people would appreciate us operating a still out of the shared kitchen.
I'm confused, the german wiki article says it's made from black rasberries and "Johannesbeeren" (black rasberries).
someone was trying to make the point that it tastes like a lot of black raspberries (and then even more of them).

I've got one anise myself, thanks, rather not have a suger-bedazzled mouthful of another.
Slightly tempted to go see if there's any of it left and to buy out whatever's remaining in the clearance cart so I can gift it at other friends for giggles, as I'd only be out roughly a pub-cost beer per what is more or less probably beer-adjacent concentrate. Tomorrow will tell if the gag gift has any gift in it at all, or if it's the cheapest 'get-drunk-stuff' in the liquor cabinet, eh.
Bought some 7.5% beer. Drank entirely too much of it.
So are we talking 1.5 liters? How much is too much?
Plenty of IPAs tonight, including a strange little number called "All-Seeing Eye", which is a delectable coffee and blueberry milkshake IPA (but that by no means fits the standardized "IPA" profile).
And hearing an imperial stout described as a "maltier IPA" is making my head spin a little bit.
That'd be kinda helpful for avoiding gross fruity beers, but when it comes right down to it you generally just have to taste the bloody thing and see if it's any good.
Lessee here... $0.30 left in the checking account. Yeup.
Wow, that is tightIt's not so bad, I've got a fair amount in savings (which is good, because today was not payment day after all! It's expected to come tomorrow...), and I've been good about not drawing from savings this year so I've still got a few no-fee withdrawals before January... But yeah.
Tonight, if my stomach is willing to put up with it, I get to try my homemade mint schnapps* in a chocolate frosty. I was going to do it earlier, but the schnapps was too vodka-heavy and not enough mint. Unlike fruit-based vodka infusions, it's quick and you don't end up with gasoline-flavored fruit that you try to use on pancakes or something.
*good rye vodka and candy canes, add enough candy cane that it stops tasting like vodka or toothpaste (toothpaste means you're close)

I got some nice memories about bush and delirium tremens x-mas edition.
That one's reddish so no ale either, but... you got access to Delirium?! Pardon to be nosy but weren't you living in the states? (I'm wondering bc it's the "staple/house-beer" of brussel's "biggest bar", wouldn't have thought they're brewing enough for export, with their weird bottles being generally underserved in the recycling loop: few places take them)
I'm starting to really enjoy the feeling of being drunk again to numb some of the physical pain I'm in. That's...bad? Okay? I don't drink as much when I have painkillers, but man, I am really enjoying being drunk again.
No I'm not ok, but no matter what I try, it ends with me facing the same problems, so I came to the conclusion that it can only be my own fault. And well, you guys get a piece of what ensues,Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try, you try so hard, get so far, and in the end it reads exactly like Linkin Park lyrics. Doesn't mean it's your own fault necessarily, sometimes life just deals a shit hand

It's moderately acceptable when served with a lime wedge in hot summer weather... Under all other circumstances, it is the beer equivalent of a toast sandwich.
Had a bit too much wine, started bawling my eyes out in the middle of nice dinner. Thank fuck we weren't in a restaurant. I don't think I'm gonna drink for a while; besides, two bottles of wine in three days seems a bit excessive, even split between two people.
Mm, North Dakota is just my go-to when I discuss how low-pop states are over-represented in Congress. I've never been there and I'm sure the people are great.

Fireball hot chocolate
Ingredients:
Milk - as much as you want there to be
Chocolate - as much as you want, but less than the amount of milk
Fireball - 1.5oz is my default, but whatever amount you happen to call a "shot" works too
Whipped cream, cinnamon and cinnamon stick - this stuff is just to make it look pretty
Instructions:
- Put milk in microwave until hot
- Add choco syrup and Fireball
- Put whipped cream on top, sprinkle tiny amount of cinnamon or cinnamon sugar on top, add cinnamon stick. If your stick is short, use the whipped cream as an anchor for like 10 seconds before it falls in anyway
chug it all down in ten seconds

Hello weird part of YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcUB-3lud60).
Look, that's some good music, and an impressive mashup, but I don't think that even counts as weird for Youtube. I mean, I found this (https://youtu.be/hPpG2Hf4hMA)without trying, and that's not that weird.Don't even. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5tVbVu9Mkg)
Hahaha, yeah, I forgot to reply to this before but I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head re: their art direction and lyrical themes. :))Current listening (https://hordesoftheblackcross.bandcamp.com/album/dawn-of-war-nights-of-chaos). I'm on track 7, which might be my favourite but it's impossible to pick.
The description "From the unending depths of the Southern Hemisphere, the caustic ascending death has been..." and the cover art being "can we fit 3 more textures into this line" really lean into the aesthetic of excess, in a good way. Good tunes, too.
Drinking alone is cool. I feel more isolated by my friends' tastes in video games TBH, with most of them playing the same shit than in 2011. A two man squad in BF5 is the best we can muster. Or 5 man autochess/underlords. Then the modem starts bugging again to top it all off. But if I drink listening to YT playing by myself shit is fine... well don't tell me twice.
IT DOES NOT MATTER. With the potential for more nights dipping below zero even gardening is futile. Best you could do is some fucking prison aerobics to, IDK, prepare for the lootings :D.
I find drinking alone just kind of boring and annoying. I'd rather be at a club or a bar or something, even a small family gathering, somebody to laugh at my drunkenness so I can react to them drunkenly. When I get drunk alone I just keep thinking "fuck, now I can't do anything, shouldn't have drank so much."
Das cool. Das cool.
I am rather drunk right now but folks are responding to my jokes okay. Shit yeah. Ya know?
If it helps, feel free to rread the above in a nasal American accent.
All still sapient are hydrated whilst all unconscious are in recovery position (on their sides, one knee locked at right angle to ensure they don't spin, a conscious drunk to watch over them whilst I watch over the conscious drunks). I have scheduled on my phone two checkups to make sure all are breathing.Yeah, we really don't though.
It is hilarious in its tragic depths of pity; I wish the party army girl was still here, the one for whom "dadday was a major general don'tcha know." No one else knows how to handle their boozes
aint supposed to mean you drink the whole damn bottle for each damn person there.
Lord heavens above thank me for the wisdom to do ut des as les romanum do because otherwise you'd have way too many dunken idiots trying to karaoke
...amidst a serious health crisis.
Just told the barkeep to "leave the bottle". I have never felt like such a high roller in my life.Even if that were legal in Norway (which it isn't), that would end up costing you somewhere on the order of $300-$400 for the bar's basic whiskey.
Still have a bourbon and... grape fanta that I mixed for myself at some point hours ago, not sure if I can stomach that at this point, though.
Nothing like an English film to get you drinking to catch up. Those good ol' Britons and their pubs and pints and pisshead-ery.
I drink fosters bitters. They are $2 USD per 24 ounce, 5% alcohol, so if I'm feeling particularly thirsty, I can fuel my budding alcoholism with a gallon of beer for ten bucks.
I am always thirsty. And hungover.
I drink fosters

Wait, would anyone want to?
In other news, is it okay to mix whiskey with sarsaparilla? It's the closest thing to a mixer I have that isn't water.
Also, wtf kind of word is "sarsaparilla"? I'm amazed I've managed to spell it right twice in a row. Never realised it had an extra syllable in there 'til I googled it just now.
Never realised it had an extra syllable in there 'til I googled it just now.It doesn't actually, it's just spelled that way. It's still pronounced "sass-pah-RILL-ah".
Mm, wish I had some (sunset) sarsparilla. I had to get riggity wrekt on gin and ginger ale.
And I'm terrified of what I said, despite... you know... saying almost all of it by text. I can *look*. I really really really don't want to.
Which is weird because it's never as bad as I expect. It's just uncomfortable seeing myself that way. I suppose that makes sense - I have all the inhibitions which I temporarily lacked.
But I know I said *important* things to certain people, so I *have* to look. The temptation to do so after a couple of drinks is strong.
Aw yeah I found the 3l cask of rum I've left aging since 2018
As usually occurs on a public holiday, some asshole drank all my booze.
Considering I haven't had anyone over, I'm pretty confident I know who did it.
Past-me is such a douche, leaving nothing for future-me to enjoy.
Gaaaaaah, I've just started drinking for the first time in at least, like, several days and I think an unpleasant conversation with my mother has sent me in a maudlin direction instead of my usual fun-drunk. So many different things to be unhappy about, all at once.
I wanna reconnect with certain members of my estranged family and send a message to my ex, but of course both of these courses of action are stupid in the extreme. If I keep drinking will I push through this or will it just make me sadder? Shit.
I think some loud music might be the answer to this derailed drinking session.
I am currently drinking a Four Loko "Apple" flavor. This tastes like the feeling in your stomach after you've made a huge mistake. Zod, it's awful, but 14% abv, so I can't complain too much.Oh man, that sounds like heaven.
It's not bad, in fact it's laudable (heh) that you're keeping up an athletic workout.I am struggling to work out what subtle pun you chuckled over here. Laudable? Like... laudanum?
For me it's the opposite. I'm a jaded optimist until I drink, at which point I'm a gregarious brian blessed, then I drink more and become a jaded void, then I drink more and become an old fisherman spinning tails of the cruel seaIf I drink enough, I turn into 50% Jack Sparrow and 50% Jack Harkness.
If we love, we must learn to forgiveHow true, how true!
For age-in-bottle beers you're generally going to want the high sugar content, with sediment (yeast). So, unfiltered.
There's of course a difference between age-in-bottle and age-in-barrel beers. Age-in-barrel just works like most spirits in that it soaks up flavors from the wood barrel it's stored in, and therefore doesn't *necessarily* need live yeast in the mix. Glass doesn't have much flavor (or permeability) to it, but with yeast and sugar in the bottle it'll continue to eat the sugars and convert to alcohol while changing the flavor
Sounds like a recipe for bottle bombs :PAKA leaving it in a freezer
