Dude, it's my Friday !!! The sun is actually out. 36 pack has been marinating for a couple days in ice and ice water. It's on. 
I wish I could. But 30+ years ago I was advised by the local judicial system, my doctor and others that it would be better if I didn't. And so, I am now the designated driver and videographer/blackmailer.
Was hanging with my brother and Dad . Turned to Bro and said Dad had to quit drinkin . Both Bro and Dad lokked at me puzzled . I said everytime he gets drunk he gets three ft tall and BB proof . Dad is a solid five foot . Oh how we laughed . Well not Dad . He didn't. But me and Bro .?
On way out to enjoy some tasty local IPA as I type this. ?
When riding... I rarely get a chance to bend an arm... so almost 2 weeks without a beer...
Really enjoying a nice Nineteen Crimes tonite.
Cheers,

Just finished building a new distillery a few towns over from me. Found my new favorite whisky too.
Just finished a Black Butte Porter and am starting on a Schell's Dark.
Mom always said to figure out what I'm good at and devote myself towards it.
Highly recommend New Holland Beer Barrel bourbon. I have had basically all of them and it is special. The history behind it is interesting too.
Always liked riding, always liked drinking..........sometimes each won out, lots of rinding and drinking, lots of drinking and riding.......only drinking now a days...........miss the riding, I'll have a ride again some day........
Only recently found this brand at my local, will be trying it again with dinner.
Nineteen crimes turned criminals into colonists. Upon conviction British rogues guilty of a least one of the 19 crimes were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. This punishment by "transportation" began in 1783 and many of the lawless died at sea. For the rough-hewn prisoners who made it to shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built. .

Too bad other things aren't as easy as throwing down beers, but the older you get the more it hurts.
Seems some of the convicts preferred America...
"Only those who have stood within the bars and heard the din of devils and the appalling sounds of despair can imagine the horrors of the hold of a convict ship." - John Boyle O'Reilly
Some men overcome adversity. Others make an art of it. In 1867 John Boyle O'Reilly was given a sentence second only to death in its severity: transportation. O'Reilly, however, was no ordinary convict. He published poetry throughout the harrowing journey to Australia and, once there, outwitted prison guards to escape to America.
A British conscript turned infamous convict, Michael Harrington is perhaps best known for orchestrating one of the most daring escapes from Australia. In 1876, Harrington, along with six others, braved a massive typhoon in nothing more than a tiny rowboat to board an American whaling ship in what is now remembered as the "Catalpa Rescue."

Had to wait until I got home. Oddly enough they don’t sell adult beverages at high school girls volleyball games. If they were to change their mind and give it a try, the hosting booster club would make a small fortune.
There are some friends that I only see a couple of times a year....which is a good thing.

Beer. That's what you keep on hand/in the fridge, to offer your friends, hipsters, and others who happen to be around.
So that they don't use up your Bourbon stash. MMMmmmmm Bourbon. It is THE thing maturity enjoys. (see what I did there?)

You might need to try Catholic school. My dad ran the liquor and gambling concessions for both my grammar school and high school Fairs.
It wasn't until I left New Orleans that I realized that all school fairs don't have beer trucks, cash bars, and casinos.
Hang in there. Someday you'll graduate to single malts.
We like them too, just not any of the 'peaty' ones. The gamut of flavors that are in the Bourbon's though (low rye) is our main interest here. Lot of that has to do with cost. Good Bourbon 'to the dollar' is a lot more accessible to us than good Scotch 'to the dollar' (squared)
Simple economics.

Nah, I think that's called alchynomics.
Hate the taste of any scotch I tried and I have tried many.
Bourbon and Rye is where it's at....along with Gin
You find
Always drinking...LOL
The reality of drinking is like living on the edge of a straight razor. I'm not talking about problem drinking. There is an obvious difference. The issue with people that like to drink find themselves in is related to the moment.
The malady is "binge" drinking. I hate that phrase because it isn't accurate. But it is all I have. The reality is I can go out and have one drink and be totally happy. However, if I am out with the right people at a happening event....well...game on. I can drink all f'ing night. It is scary. My wife is like...this isn't normal.....HAHAHAHAHA
Let me hear from fellow drinkers. What motivates you in these situations

I find that what I eat and what I drink and most importantly...how long before bed and last drink governs the reflux thing.
I hate reflux...it freaks me out.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that champagne works as a really good cough suppressant?
I am literally having a full blown bar installed in my house next week.
Sinks, 2x beer fridge, 1x wine fridge, 1x champagne fridge, ice maker. Trying to figure out how to incorporate taps for pony kegs.
You faggots are invited over. Pool table to go infront of it is next.
Any ideas for cool bar glassware?

You got this. I joke. I haven’t drank in 18 years. I regret nothing
The skulls of your enemies.
Huckleberry soda is my favorite exotic. And Cock & Bull ginger beer. Absolutely amazing.
