30. Me, too. But I can drink the peach wine from the Natchez Winery.
If you are ever in the Natchez area, do a tasting tour...it's free!

Also like their muscadine wine.

5. If...
Edited on Sun Dec-31-06 01:08 PM by DaveTheWave
...then for me it will be vodka and 7-up, one or two, usually it's about one and a half average for me. Mrs. DTW might have two or three beers but if she feels wild and crazy she might actually go for four :woohoo:

14. I had it when I was in the 6th
grade, and I also had the flu at the same time...it was enough to make me want to drill into my skull, to stop the pain...my wife, doesn't have the flue with hers, thank heavens.

Thanks for support though...:D

24. Nawww...I'm just kidding.
My buds and I tried Boone's Farm and I was just trying to make funny with the strep description. ;)

Since 7th grade I've had strep throat too, and I sympathise. It's miserable for awhile.

17. Going to the inlaws
so probably just beer and wine. If we were going to my folks there would be a fully stocked bar and I would be Long Island Iced Tea-ing it all night.

Probably better that we are going to the inlaws :)

20. Hmmm...I bought some absinthe overseas, but...
haven't ever tried, and dunno how to prepare/serve it. :shrug:

I'll probably just go with mostly beer, though party forecasters are saying the offerings will be varied.

I'll let you know tomorrow what flavor of hangover I'm combatting. ;)

50. Was just in Prague...
Bought some, boy is that stuff strong. The way that it is best served is on the rocks, or on the rocks with a dash of water. That stuff made me have some of the weirdest dreams I have ever had, I think I drank too much!

27. My boyfriend got a variety of different beers for us to try.
He's a real beer connoisseur, and he somehow managed to find several that he's never tried before. :beer:

39. i have a decent assortment
Edited on Sun Dec-31-06 04:47 PM by pitohui
bourbon balls -- this is bourbon, hazelnut, creme de cacoa, creme -- rich but tasty

eggnog which can be enhanced with bourbon, franjelico, or grand marnier, it's the drinker's choice

merlot, chardonnay, ice wine (although i doubt the ice wine will actually get cracked open)

some cheap cheezy champagne, no use splashing out on the "good stuff" when taste buds in question will be totally fried by over-indulgence by then

:-)

oh and there are vodka martini fixin's too, should be screwdrivers or vodka sunrise, chocolate martini ingredients, i know i'm forgetting something

oh yeah there is some dubious low carb beer

seriously doubt we'll consume all of this

49. Apparently we're starting with Wasps
(Bourbon, ginger ale, bitters), then some wine in a bit, beers after and a small bottle of Champs at 12. :thumbsup:

And no, I have no plans to do anything but recover tomorrow. :D
