Top 5 Drinks

Tue, 15 Feb 2005 21:33:11 GMT

you know, those drinks you keep ordering all the time. here are my current 5, in no particular order.

maker's mark, rocks - my fallback drink when the bartender makes eye contact with me and i haven't decided what to drink yet. semi-respectable, yet affordable...

saph and tonic - this is when i'm feeling like a bitch and i want to booze like one. esp good when clubbing in los angeles.

hoegaarden - this reminds me of the yada yada yada story on seinfeld. i went on a date with this guy and he introduced me to hoegaarden. then yada yada yada, i never spoke to him again. (wait, you yada'ed over the best part!) no i mentioned the hoegaarden.

knob creek, neat - when i have money. which is to say, never. but in my fading memory, it was damn tasty.

sterling cab - a great, almost amazing cheap red wine. you can get it for under $15 at the store and for the price, will blow you away. i like it better than a lot of reds 3x the price.

What happens when

Gypsy — Sun, 28 Dec 2003 13:19:15 GMT

an overt Virgo has a "night" and gets all pissed off at the local townies (Big city gurl-small town folk) and tells them, at the top of her red wine drenched lungs: you guys suck! To hell with all of you! Well, pretty simple, she gets home, takes off the boots...and ends meeting her karmic ways. Or does she??? I know what happened, look-see at my piccy...let's hear the outcome of this boozebag scenario!!

Down and Out...

I just saw this crazy film called "Down and Out With The Dolls". It was freakin' hilarious! It was something like an indie rawk version of an "After School Special", meets MTV's "Real World", if they were cool. Any of you seen it?
The film is a bit of a bust, but there is a character named 'AlcoHolly', that is worth the price of admission. She makes drinks in a blender made out of other people's leftover swill, cig butts and all- and serves it up to unknowing victims and she guzzles it down before serving it up! That's hard core.

Hott!

Any Portlanders (OR) would especially appreciate the obvious references to that particular city's nightlife in the 90's. (Laura?)

New Drink I Invented...

- as seen at The Psychic Voodoo Lounge tribe:

Here's how to make a Black Death:

Pint glass, fill with ice
Fill 1/2 with Jack Daniels (Jim is okay, but not proper)
Fill to almost full with Coke
Add a smattering (1 tsp, no more) of Ouzo

This tastes neither of Ouzo or Jack n' Coke. It's majickal! It's kinda fruity in way you can't describe. If you don't like Ouzo, use a bit less. I have a friend that uses an eyedropper measure for this.

Oh, and it really f*cks you up!

THERE has been a report sent out that some of you disreputable types were out and about, being SOBER in public! Is there no end to this lack of judiciousness? You are all sentenced to six shots of 80 proof, your choice. Do it now or forevvvverrr hold the konsekwensez!

People ask me why I drink for,
Well I'm tryin' to forget;
Well I know there was a reason,
but I can't remember it!

Booze Deluge!

Alcohaulics Autonomous!

Our Credo:

1. Avoid “social drinking ”. Social drinking leads to trying to cover up one ’s more, how shall I say, “assertive ”drinking habits. Do seek the company of other assertive drinkers, for that builds self-esteem and a greater sense of self worth, and community.
*For more information, read Bukowski.

2. Admit that your body simply lacks the necessary alcohol it requires. Understand that you are a “Lack-aholic ”.

3. When given the option of doing something productive or getting loaded, make the wise choice, alcohol.

4. Always put alcohol first and prioritize your day around it. Don ’t let anyone or anything interfere with the consumption of your RDA (Required Daily Alcohol) intake. Be cautious not to allow too much blood to defile your alcohol stream! This could result in a Lack-aholic fit.

5. Remember, nobody loves you like BOOZE loves you!

6. When visiting any market that sells the holy substance, pay homage to the booze aisle. As you pass through the shelves, you shall sing out the song, “Almost Paradise ”with utmost passion, or at least whisper under your breath, “I honor you, most gracious Liquor Aisle. ”When in the holy temple of a liquor store, both hands will be thrust into the air in exaltation, and thy body be spun around.

7. Never let your resources fall too low. At least a fifth should be kept on hand at all times, proportionately more if expecting any guests.
(warning: see rule #1)

What? Only 7 steps? Were you expecting a full 12 step program? Remember: Alcohol, it ’s not a choice, it ’s a lifestyle! “Let Go, Let Liquor! ”
