Too early to start drinking?

I'm feeling existentially bummed this morning. I'm fully aware that drinking is not going to help, but it would at least give me an excuse to be an inert blob all day. :P

Vitamin C plus a germ killer.

I have some citrus punch and some Jimi Hendrix vodka right over there...thanks! :hi:

Here I am....

Decent vodka too - but apparently, not vetted by St Jimi's estate. It's no longer available - but my bottle is already open, so what the heck. :toast:

:smoke:

the kgb used to give agents vitamin c pills so they could drink without a hangover.

drink screwdrivers from dawn til dusk every day and you'll feel great.

Or dusk comes very early. If it comes in plastic, they should'nt call it vodka - paintbrush cleaner, maybe.

would try it if I saw it. Top tip: if you run cheap vodka through a cheap water filter it will taste as nice (and be as free of hangover inducing molecules) as fancy grey goose or whatever. Might have an alarming grey tint from the charcoal but don't let that dissuade you

Which is where I live. Loquor bottled in NH gets a tax break, so there is a bottler (Jenkins Spirits) of pretty dreadful hooch. They bring in bulk liquor in tank trucks, and bottle a lot of it in plastic half-gallons, under names like Popov, Zenkha and Orlov. I've seen drunks that were addicted to the pollutants in this stuff - good vodka would not stop the shakes, only the cheap stuff.
NH State Liquor stores are the Wal-Mart of booze - we stock it deep and sell it cheap! http://www.nh.gov/liquor/pl03.shtml is the price list. Conveniently located on the Interstate system, to catch the tourist trade.Unless you're drinking scary amounts, you can see you can buy respectable booze for reasonable prices - there's no need to drink the paint thinner.

..., not SERIOUS camping, but electrical campsite camping. We took
along a blender and made a vow to start the day off with at LEAST
one strawberry daiquiri per day.
.
We didn't drink other than those one or two breakfast drinks, but
it was a truly GRAND way to start the day.
.

.
Neighbors would come over to complain about the noise (crushing
the ice at 7 AM) and we would simply offer them a drink.
.
Problem solved.

:P The s.o. drinks wine and sake. I drink damn near everything else, but not as often - except for the sake. :toast:

how to improve neighborly relationships. I'll try that with Bloody Marys. Tomato juice is good for you! And vodka cleanses the palate. Or so I'm told.

My wife's boss's line.

:rofl:

We all need a full day "time out" every now and then.

Until the s.o. decides I should still be able to function enough to do chores - even after I announce that I will be in the process of getting bombed and should not be counted on for *anything*. :rofl:

and that is total BS! Chores are forbidden on Saturdays in my house because, well, they suck. Chores are abusive to the entire concept of Saturdays damn it!

I don't make the schedule. :rofl: I'm going to grab my drink, my book, and go up to the roof terrace and work on my tan. That's my major objective for this afternoon. :hi:

and you can tell your SO that I'm not a doctor, but I play one on the internet and this is exactly what I've prescribed for you. :rofl:

Liquid vegetables are fine.:+

:evilgrin: Editor is offline, deal with it.

To avoid becoming an alcoholic, I'll never crack open a cold frosty until I have both feet on the floor

I think he followed this rule religiously: he'd sit up in bed, swivel to get both feet on the floor, open the fridge, grab a Round Rock pony, pop the top, and contemplate the prospects for changing out of his PJs

otherwise the whole thing falls apart. :rofl:

And of course, my favorite Dean Martin quote: You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. :evilgrin:

i'll adopt that guys rule, instead of just boozing beneath the blankets as usual

Been bbqing since early this morning.

You have my permission and blessing. :hi:

Just so it is noon somewhere.

The baby back ribs are smelling great, also the briskets.

The chickens I will bbq tomorrow.

BBQ up here is a different beast - different seasonings, mostly. But I still love a good BBQ. :)

They were masters at it.

The secret is in the sauce, and slow cooking with the right combo of woods.

The ribs are for today.

There is a big diffence between Texas and the deep south.

Pork seems to be prefered in the south while we like beef and chicken.

Roasted chicken is HUGE up here - it's practically a food group, so alternative ways to prepare and season chicken are pretty varied. The seasonings in general tend towards the savory rather than spicy. There are 2 South American-style churrascarias within walking distance of my house.

There are people who like sauce, or no sauce.

It is all good.

I use a mixture of wood, pecan and oak.

I get a good hot bed of oak coals going and then throw in a wet pecan log for smoke.

The secret is not to let the coals get to hot or cold.

So I get to stay outside all day watching the coals.

It is pretty out here today, the temp is not bad.

I do like a good bbq chicken.

I don't like really spicy food.

It went down nicely with my stew

Lunch was a little scrappy today, but it is Saturday. :) More booze later.

1) you've eaten
2) you won't be driving
3) you don't have an alcohol problem

yes

1) yes, I've had breakfast and a light lunch
2) if we go out tonight, it'll be on foot or by cab
3) I don't, but I've been thinking about acquiring one, just for the weekends.

So, can I?

any subsequent alcohol forays will necessitate re-applying; yes INDEED
