The Hangover/I'm an Alcoholic Thread

[Silverburst80]

So the wifes out and i've just put my son to bed, bored as fuck and have an array of booze my friends left over from a get-together  a few weeks back, currently sipping on a Bacardi and coke and pondering whether to switch to vodka next, or champagne....oh god please dont choose the champagne

Did you all quit drinking or what? 

I haven't had a drink all week, but I just got a phone call and now I probably have a job starting on monday so I feel like celebrating some. Should I drink beer or wine?

Congratulations on new job!  Hope it all comes together and you can start Monday.  Id go with beer.

Im still home brewing.  Small batch.  Mainly low alcohol beers, kvass and pops/soda - mostly with kefir or airborne/ wild fermentation.  I make some pops like winter beers lately (dandelion root, sage, used coffee grounds, oats, maybe some spices, etc) and they are delicious, so I usually crave them more.  I have a lot of fun creating and tinkering with recipes; making them both complex in flavour and super healthy.

Sounds nice. I haven't been brewing in ages because bf and I went to Germany a while ago and on the way home we bought insane amounts of beer and wine for barely nothing, so now we're all set until probably after New Year's. Probably time to start brewing again pretty soon, but we don't really have room for it anymore since we're fixing up the spare room which we used to use for brewing and making it a guest room instead because right now when we have guests over they really don't have anywhere to sleep. 

...fuck, does this mean I'm an adult now, fixing a guest room and all? Thinking about, I did impulse buy a kitten last night that we're picking up next week, so I'm most likely not. That's what happens when I stay sober: I do a lot of things on impulse.

[john lennon]

Yo I'm drunk again, but it's a friday night and my friend is coming over in a little while, so there's nothing wrong with it, right?

God I've gotten good at spelling while drunk. I wasn't before.

Wish I could stock up in Germany on the cheap!  Only cheap booze around here is boot legged and since I stopped providing my cider Im kinda outta the loop.  But the vodka people do empty bottle returns and I have some so I should hit them up.

Even though the kitten was an impulse buy, together with the spare room thing it amounts to nesting.  And that is indeed adulting!  Shall I call you Ma'am or Ms, lol?

My cat loves to brew with me, so hopefully you'll get a helper too.  I went the other direction that you did and between my couch and TV, in place of coffee table is a huge normal table set up for brewing.  Not something a spouse or room mate would ever tolerate.

Let's just say I'm not married, even though my dear boyfriend brings that + having children up every time he gets drunk or high. It's funny, because when he's sober he always makes jokes about me being pregnant and how we can't have a child right now, every time he's not sober, he's deadbeat sure we should try right now lol

I'm quite young tho so I'd love to wait a couple years. My mom was 21 and unemployed when she had me, and I don't want to repeat that pattern.

Oh, yeah. We have one cat already, but she hates all alcoholic beverages. Fuck, she even hates it when we sneak her some food, you know? All she eats is her cat food. She did taste a chili sausage yesterday, though, but I'm pretty sure she regretted that quite immediately lol

[soon]

That sounds very sweet about your boyfriend wanting to get pregnant!  Would make a story book origin story for you kid though: "... and just like that your Father passed out on top of me and I was stuck all night." haha.  Makes sense to wait, as you say.  So Ms. it is, Ms John Lennon.

My kitten used to lap up ales from my mug but doesnt anymore.  He just likes helping out anyways.  He really loves herbs so I think thats part of it - I even use cat nip sometimes.  If he decides Ive been on computer too long he will pounce me and then lead me to the brew area! My guy hated sausage too, lol.  Wouldve thought he'd love it.

Right now I am snuggled into a king sized bed during this cold, drizzly evening, laying in complete darkness, with the fan on, a kitty and a blanket on me, and I am drinking a coffee with some Kahlúa.

I feel like I am in heaven.

Laying in complete darkness, hot coffee with a cat on you sounds like an accident waiting to happen

Glad you had fun.  That sounds like indigestion to me.  You must have a strong gut!

It was a good time haha. I made the rookie mistake of having too much to early and I was sobered up before everyone was trashed

I just never knew what it was and it has such a posh name i thought it'd be something with like...a lot more to it than that, something I haven't tried.  i don't think I've ever drank a cocktail in my life (not that this sounds like much of one), I've pretty much always been on the ale or else just the straight forward spirits like vodka whiskey brandy gin rum etc, a drop of coke or OJ in em perhaps as appropriate, not even that anymore, I tend to have em straight so like, all these funny named drinks like Cuba Libre or Pina Colada and all the many hundreds of different drinks out there are all a mystery to me.  I just thought it'd be some next fancy schmancy thing.

In Greece I was in the most pretentious modern looking cocktail bar ever, guys doing their Tom Cruise impression and spraying perfume on top and all this bollocks. Gay rich guys everywhere drinking weird drinks. I sat down and ordered ''a beer''. Felt totally out of place.

Its a big Cuban industry (rum) mixed with a flagship US industry (Coca-cola) and calls for the freedom and liberty of Cuba and its people from the oppression of the USA.  Only different then rum and coke via the lime on the rim and the shape of the glass, and ideally Cuban rum.  Supposed to be a simple drink in line with socialist values.  Or is it freedom from socialism hence the coke?  Is this drink the Hegelian Dialectical in a glass?
