For those about to drink, we salute you!

I think you meant to say, it does get better with rage. In fact, I'm positive that's what you says. Otherwise, you're just too bleeding thirsty. And rage is the only thing in the whole wide/flat world that could make nahevenadayole-wine palatable.

Delay.
Of.
Gratification?

Delay of Gratification?? I think not. If I drink someoof it now while it's semi horrid, when I get to the amazing aged stuff..why that'll just be the more awesome!

I'm about to finish two bottles worth of Tsingtao.

I'm not drinking any more tonight, but feel free to salute if you wish.

Oh red wine, you laugh. You beckon me. You call out in a delicate european accent, "Princess, oh my close friend and intimate amore, come away from the computer. Cometo me and read a book. Together we shall laugh. And we will be like Bridget Jones, but not rubbish."

I don't think I can resist.

15:49 / 11.05.07

Excuses, excuses, what excuses do we need to go drinking!??? It's Friday! Ten to six! I've got a mate coming over from the Arctic - she needs thawing up with fine ales and hearty greetings! ....... And I'm thirsty! I loves me some exclamation marks! Haven't had a pint since... Wednesday! No more hootin' about transhumanistic misogyny, sustainability according to the Irish Mr Marx, totemic badgers (love'em!!!), superhero pants, Jacob <3 Locke or what have ye! Booze Island, any island with a yar and rum! Here we come!

In the restaurant world, a bend-me-over-the-stove-and-give-it-to-me-up-the-chute shift is known as a "grandmafucker" of a day.

I have had one of those.

I want a drink.

15:53 / 23.05.07

I shall drink to us reds. The Reds. Liverpool? Football? Champions League final in Athens? Yes. That one. Only I'll be at home in front of telly. Stupid glued to the screen.

I too, Kali, have had grandmafucker days, back when a young Nolte was in the bidness of getting other people drunk for a living. In my humble experience, the best remedy is shots of Fernet Branca, Jagermeister and/or other bitters. I kid you not. Chased with a lager - heaven.

16:01 / 23.05.07

Actually, I just really want a Pimm's Cup.

COG

16:22 / 23.05.07

I shall just be having a couple of beers with the football in an Italian bar. Could be funny.

16:26 / 23.05.07

I didn't realise footballs drank. But it makes sense, now that I think of it.

20:08 / 07.07.07

DRINK! DAMN YOU! DRINKIT!!!

20:15 / 07.07.07

Morgans spiced rum made me do good things. Good things like salsa in these trousers:

22:44 / 07.07.07

Are you sure? Cuz that looks a bit weird.

23:03 / 07.07.07

Well I'm fucking drinking. And having spent the whole day feeling like I was about to fall asleep, I'm now wide awake as can be, and in the mood for DRINKING SOME FUCKING MORE.

Yay for drinking! Let's drink to drinking!

If only my old alcohol counsellor could read this post, she'd, erm, well, not be too impressed, really. Yet FUCK IT! I'm drinking. I'm drinking my ASS off. I'm gonna listen to Hank Williams III and DRINK, Goddammit!

And then probably pass out in about ten minutes. But, y'know. It's Saturday night.

Best trousers ever.

I'm currently mildly concerned that drinking heavily on a starvation diet hasn't killed me after 4 years. Science says I should be dead.

23:22 / 07.07.07

You know what?

FUCK science.

Fuck it right in the fucking EAR.

Booze is better than science. Booze is a Frankensteinian creation of science that has become stronger than its creator. Booze is GREAT. Booze is OUT OF CONTROL, but will soon be IN CONTROL, if you get my drift. Best make your peace with it now. Welcome your new booze overlord.

Well I'm gonna do some drinkin'
I'm gonna drink all the whiskey that I can
Well I'm gonna do some drinkin'
I'm gonna drink all the whiskey that I can
'Cuz I'm a drinkin', smokin',
Night-time ramblin' kind of man

I'm actually not all that drunk. Hmm.

23:30 / 07.07.07

Well, Stoats, as a great inebriated man once said--somewhere and probably with a five-dollar hooker on his arm--if you aren't drunk, then you ain't even tryin'.

23:56 / 07.07.07

I'm trying, believe me. It's just that it's been such a mental week (which had, among other wonderful things, GUITAR WOLF in it) that the weekend is really struggling to catch up.

One more booze. Then maybe a pizza.

HCE

13:43 / 08.07.07

Kali, could you please treat us to samples of your wit that don't include references to 'five-dollar hookers' and 'hillbillies'? Much appreciated, thank you. I'm aware that tone can sometimes be hard to determine online, so I want to assure you that this is meant to sound like a polite request. I apologize in advance if I've failed to convey that.

15:47 / 08.07.07

I'll see what I can do.

HCE

02:16 / 09.07.07

Thanks, that's very cool of you.

16:00 / 09.07.07

But to be fair, the hillbillies thing was from The Simpsons.

'S true.

ONLY NICE THINGS

16:06 / 09.07.07

Didn't we do that one with gypsies, though?

16:21 / 09.07.07

Now I am lost.

BACK TO THREAD TOPIC.

It's hot as balls here in the South today and while that in itself is not such a shock for a July day, it's the mugginess that slaps you in the face like a wet towel. It's like breathing cotton. It's going to be terrible when I live the house in a few minutes to go jog.

But it's also one of those days where a cold drink of the alcoholic nature might also be in order as a sweet sweet treat.

Now....who's with me?

16:49 / 09.07.07

Yeah, reckon I can fit in one more cold one before I have to go to bed as my night shift starts again in... about four hours.

16:52 / 09.07.07

I heart that I can always count on Stoatie.

17:12 / 09.07.07

Don't thank me, thank BOOZE. And with that I bid Barbelith adieu for a few hours.

12:33 / 13.07.07

Another wet weekend looms. Let's drink to drinking!

I like whiskey hot and strong, I’ll drink whiskey all day long…

I’ll drink it hot, I’ll drink it cold, I’ll drink it new, I’ll drink it old

Whiskey made me sell my coat, whiskey’s what keeps me afloat

Whiskey killed my sister Sue, whiskey killed my brother, too

Some likes whiskey, some likes beer, I wish I had a barrel here

Whiskey made the bosun call “hang together, one and all”

Whiskey stole my brains away, one more pull and we’ll belay

A glass of grog for every man and a bottle full for the shanteyman

Yay for whiskey! Drink, you damned heathens!

Evil Scientist

12:45 / 13.07.07

Give me an Islay single-malt and I'm a happy, drunken scientist.

But tonight, the ale-house calls to me.

13:12 / 13.07.07

Any single malt will do for me thank you very much.

I should at this stage admit that my previous post wasn't meant to endorse an unhealthy cleaving to whiskey alone. Nay, far be it from me to pour scorn on another person's drink. *Though it has been known to improve the taste of some such beverages.*
It was merely a token, an icon standing in for any fermented and/or distilled liquid. Which I urge you all to consume. Now, like.

Tonight a man is being fancy.

A man has bought Limes to put in the neck of his Coronas.
