For whoever hasn't tried it yet, I really recommend White Claw, especially in the Mango flavour. 100 calories a can, with 5% alcohol content and tastes exactly like flavoured water. Basically a vodka infused drink that can be had as much as you want without ever feeling bloated etc.

Edit: I apologize that the one I chose has an ad in the middle, skip that shit
Coffee n Bailey’s, white wine with lunch... hard to say what the rest of the day holds... probably some single malt or beer... or both
Picked up some Bird Dog Black Cherry whiskey when I was in Montana last year. Put it together with some pepsi (diet for me) and it's really good. They had a few flavors that are pretty good as well.
I bought a bunch of natrel black thinking it would be great but it was terrible - still got a whole bunch of them in the garage. I dont see much difference between a whiteclaw and a nude though.
Tanqueray Gin, 7Up and a splash of lemon juice with lots of ice... all day. (and Jamesons... lots of Jamesons.)
4 grams of ground psilocybin mushrooms, soaked in lemon juice for 15 minutes and topped up with orange juice. Highly recommended.
@BavarianBeast go on.......
I think I have enough left in the freezer to pull that off tonight.
That’s a heroic drink, just make sure your in a safe place mentally.
Lemon juice just converts the psilocybin into psilocin (instead of your stomach acid which can cause upset stomach/nausea) and blasts you off a bit faster (and slightly shorter) since that process is eliminated. I would say 4g in lemon juice is equal to about 6g eaten raw.
Well maybe I'll start with 2, I am unsure where exactly my mind is at hahaha Thank you for clarifying!
Great place to start. Enjoy the drink, report back if you’d like!
Is it normal to eat 4-6 grams at a time? It's been along time since I've been in high school and I thought 1-2 would do the job.
If you want to have ego death and slay some dragons in the closet, then hell ya.
If you want to relax into a laughing fit and walk through nature, hell no haha.
So not a normal dose at all.
White claw? Fuck no. I'll drink vodka in my own soda water thanks.
Premixed hard alcohol drinks are an affront to all the old gods and most of the new ones.
You must of never had a Georgian Bay Vodka Smash
Getting into ginger beer. My old favorite hasn't been sold in awhile, it's Jamaican so they probably burnt down the brewery or something.
Anyhow, if someone has a suggestion for a good one that's not insanely sweet, let me know.
The one with the pirate on it that’s available at basically all the grocery stores isn’t very sweet... pretty spicy though. Usually counter it with a lot of lime, or press it with half soda water... non-alcoholic of course
For alcoholic I dunno, crabbies is a classic but sweet... Philip’s isn’t sweet but also just fucking awful
Realized my liquor cabinet has gotten full of half-drank bottles of unloved hard alcohol. Crap people have gifted me, or things I never should have purchased.
Right now, I'm sick of looking at this bottle of crown royal salted caramel, so I'm drinking that. It's probably the worst beverage ever to come out of that distillery. Awful.
A relative that does not respect alcohol gave that to me as a gift. I haven't figured out how to disown them, and I can't bring myself to pour it down the sink.
In the words of Winston Churchill, when you are going through hell, keep going!
Probably be okay in coffee :dunno:
That reminds me of a wine tasting I went to... on the way in there were samples of crown’s vanilla one... 60+ woman grabbed one “oh, that’s... not good” :rofl: I mean, that really should be the target demo and ya missed
Pabst Blue Ribbon from Costco because I am a cheap Scot.

Crown. El Dorado, Smirnoff, and Sleemans.
Not all at once. Usually....
Coors banquet is fancy in Canada, budget in usa.
Ain't no laws when you're drinking claws. I bought 4 24 packs when the covid shutdowns were starting. Black cherry is my fav followed by mango.
Currently drinking Super Saturation from Cabin to help decide what kegs I'm going to get soon.
That’s not even banquet. It’s Original. Apparently there is a difference
Straight Edge Bourbon (Cab casks), or Eagle Rare Bourbon.
Afternoon beer is Fernie Hit the Deck
Bunch of fuckin Girl-Drink Drunks in here!
Pretty sure I'd drink Thompson's Water Seal if no one was lookin!
Yes, I like Pina Colada's and getting caught in the rain.
Raw distillery gin and either soda water or low sugar tonic water. Tried gin for the first time a year ago and haven’t done anything else since.
I think banquet is marginally higher end. My palate can’t tell the difference.
Easy drinking shitty lager. My favorite.
Gin is exquisite.
I've been hitting an excellent creation my S.O. takes credit for inventing.
It's called an Elsa. Choose either Aviation (more licorice flavour) or Kirkland. Pour a fat 3oz into a glass on heavy ice. Consume and marvel at how your able to...
LET IT GO, LET IT GO!!!!
For beer, GOOD MOOD CREAM ALE is about the best beer I've found that's reasonably available in years. It's wonderful and you can drink 8 of them without dying in your sleep or wishing you died in your sleep!
So good.
You two are both great dudes, and very pretty, but kinda in opposite ways.
I moved over to vodka soda for two just to cleanse my palate. but now on to beer. MGD first, because it was on sale at safeway today.
@BavarianBeast I just did three grams in lemon juice and finished with Mango juice. See you all later!

Faustino's are pretty good. Crianza means it's young though... see if you can find a Reserva or Gran Reserva which will have spent more time in the barrel. The oak flavours on Rioja's are unreal.
If you can find wines from Ribera del Duero it's the area near me - I really like their stuff. Rioja is more famous but Ribera is just as good if not better (obviously individual differences between wineries but Tempranillos are in general quite similar).
Currently enjoying a Spanish vermut.
It's a little traditional (but will hopefully make a comeback) but historically the "Vermouth Hour" was before lunch. So not only is it socially acceptable to drink before lunch but it's encouraged as La Hora del Vermut is meant as an aperitivo to prepare the stomach for lunch.
Normally you'd go out for it but due to lockdown I'm enjoying this one at home.

Drinking before lunch is awesome. The queen used to enjoy a "gin and dubonnet" before lunch. No idea if she still does, but I like to imagine this little old lady getting toasted before a lunch with dignitaries.
Got into the tequila last night.
Cazadores anejo
Grand marnier
Lime
Agave
Switched to epsolon silver and triple sec after the first one.
had a couple bulleit bourbons and coke last night. can never go wrong.
My red drinking is about 80% Spanish wines. For sure a couple reserva and grands that are under $20 that I do enjoy. But I did find this one rather nice compared to market equivalents at $14/bottle There is a Tempranillo I enjoy a lot too by El Jamon, but that drinks young unlike this bottle which does taste much more developed. This is of course speaking to “everyday wines” ...but yeah I’ve had some great bottles out of both regions... mmm... Pingus, but favourite had to be that 1991 Marques de Caceres
I’ve got one of these waiting for the right time to crack too

Weird question, but anyone ever had any decent boxed wines?
I know they carry a stigma as cheap garbage and don't age, but if I'm going to polish 4L (5 bottle+ equiv.) in less than a week, any reason not to go with boxed? Less bottles around the house, more environmental friendly, cheaper due to packaging... Seems like win-win.
With that said, anyone try some very good boxed variety? No bodacious, lol.
^^ Are you sure?
Boxed wines is 5.33 bottles worth and I see the cheap stuff for ~$35. That's crazy value.
Anywho... Just a thought. There might be a more reasons why they don't put half decent wine in a plastic lined bag...
Edit: Found a list of boxed wines from LCBO with prices. I know it's Ontario but gives you a good idea of what to expect in Alberta too as it should be similar selection.

Haven't really changed much, still enjoy whiskey and beer. Bulleit as my usual.
Sorry, only pic on my potato phone...
But if you want a cheap wine, this one. No idea about boxed wine but apothic is like $17 now, this one is $10-11, and it’s waaaay better
Support local
I have the solution. Use it to clean your sandals in summer once they start to pick up TheStink.
I did that with this clearly poisonous Serbian plum brandy some dirty Gypsy gifted me. Worked like a charm.
@BavarianBeast
How is ^that? Is a man-bun and a twisty moustache required?
It’s actually pretty good as far as sours go outside of Belgium or New Belgium (Lafoiliee is #1 sour imo, same brewers as fat tire)
Much better than the cowbell they had a couple years back at WR. Wildrose has drive-through btw.. open Wed-Sun.
Railyards peach sour is pretty high on my overall list right now.
But I'm not a sour beer connoisseur so ymmv.
Mo Spain
Cava is such a great alternative to champagne
Double ipa from alley kat
Doing more of the stupid salted caramel crown royal. Works better mixes 1:1:1 with soda and ginger ale. I'll be done that bottle soon enough though, and put this sordid chapter behind me.
This grapefruit radler is surprisingly refreshing

I’ve been ordering flats from siding 14 in ponoka. Online ordering and free delivery makes it too easy
what's everyone favourite local cider? Sunnycider? Elite?
Sunnycider is $4/can, and I just can't afford that for my first wife. Need something $2-ish.
Also, local breweries you prefer for decent cost and tasty tasty brews. Thinking tool shed maybe?

That sunitory is delightful. My brother keeps that around and I drink it whenever I'm at his place. Very nice.
I'm again drining a shit-mix of cheaper beers. Tonight MGD, Coop pils, PC pils, and PC honey red. all effective.
