We have a liter of vodka, a liter of Ballantine's, half a liter of red Johnny Walker and .70 of cheap "Scotch" called River Queen whisky. Man, are we going to get fucked up.
Enough to say that Drake (nickname from a male duck, not a dragon) already sat his dumb ass on a chocolate bar and made a stain on my couch. I managed to clean it up though. Next stop: playing Soul Calibur while drunk. Many lulz are going to be had.
EDIT: oh, wait. I totally forgot about a .70 of JD.

"what the complete, unabridged, 4k ultra HD fuck with bonus features" - Mark Von LewisOh gawd. I just had 5 generous measures of Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch
in about 2 hours 30 mins. And I have to be up in about 5 hours 30 mins. And I'm supposed to be assembling a wedding cake tomorrow morning. AAAAAAAHHHH. Wish me luck.

Listen to Music with Tropers at The Troper Turntable!...and we haven't even finished that JD. How's that for responsible drinking? Apparently people were too busy playing Soul Calibur or laughing at those who did.
"what the complete, unabridged, 4k ultra HD fuck with bonus features" - Mark Von LewisA beer for those who like to drink beer...Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale by the Lagunitas brewing company. A great introduction to dark beers. Caution; it WILL go straight to your head (9.87% ABV).
If I were to write some of the strange things that come under my eyes they would not be believed. ~Cora M. Strayer~Ok, if it was bitterness, then you want a beer that low in hops or even completely unhopped. That where the bitterness comes from.
You're looking for Gruits(an unhopped fermented malt drink with floral or spice flavorings,) Brown Ales (like Mann's Brown Ale or Newcastle Brown Ale), or Lambics (which used aged dry hops rather than fresh ones,for a different, less bitter taste.) Some Lambics are also flavored with fruit. Weissbiers (wheat beers) also tend to be less hoppy but most have an odd banana-y or clove-y aspect. Hacker-Pschorr is a decent weissbier, and relatively easy to find.
Hmm. If you can find it, give Fraoch Heather Ale
a try. It's a Scottish Gruit, so you'll need to either find a liquor store with a good choice of imported beers or a bar with a very good choice of imports. (That link is to a review site.)
Another option is to find a place that has a good selection of imports and tell the bartender what you do and don't like and ask for his suggestions.

An Afghanistan Whore is actually made with rootbeer and rum, hence my desire to try it. Problem being I don't go to bars, I'll probably get one when I go see a movie next.
Fight smart, not fair.Rootbeer and rum, you say? Hmmm. I may have to buy some rootbeer. Man, I love rootbeer.
the pronoun system in Cherokee is just better. Need Scion GM.@Deboss: Damn, I was just about to make a relevant joke.
@Bur: You might want to give Newcastle
a shot. I've been a fan ever since my friends introduced it to me a few years ago; now this might be my dead taste buds talking, but it's good with birthday cake, tacos, grilled chicken, and sandwiches.
I am a little tipsy right now on a bottle of Wandering Aengus'
Wanderlust hard cider. They're a cider microbrewery in Salem, Oregon. Some pretty nice stuff there.
Am I the only white guy to discover the illicit joy of malt liquor? Seriously; Mickey's and Olde English really are eminently drinkable as well as not being too hard on the wallet. And one 40 oz. bottle is just about the perfect amount of booze, if one is looking for a good buzz.
If I were to write some of the strange things that come under my eyes they would not be believed. ~Cora M. Strayer~Okay, so I've pretty much decided that Hobsons Postman's Knock
is my favourite beer of all time. It's perfect in just about ever conceivable way. Dark reddish-brown, strong and bittersweet like very dark chocolate, fading into coffee and burnt caramel aftertastes. Soooo gooooood.
I'm a rare Scot who doesn't like drinking. I like cider, and have got moderately tipsy from time to time, but thats it, and getting drunk is never my intention. (Ok there was this one time after a charity collection in Edinburgh... never doing that again.)
It kind of annoys me when everyone elses primary objective seems to be getting hammered.
The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.Well, I picked up a bottle "Summer Shandy" weissbeer and can't say I was impressed. I went "Bleh, this is vaguely lemon-y stale bread!" But then I paired it with fried chicken and... something almost magical happened. It isn't something I would buy again, but it was a bit above tolerable, which is pretty good where me and beer are concerned. Onwards and upwards!
Yay for cheap bourbon and Coke! When your week has shat upon you, nothing takes away the stink better.
EDIT: Add some vintage DIO for extra feel-good effect.

Oooo! That sounds good. I'll have to write that down. Good name, too.
