By the way, this came out terrible, I rate it "only if you run out of beer in a hurricane" a sin in itself. Should have just drank the fresh squeezed manjo juice and called it a day.
I have that same problem with beer in general. I can stomach way more beer than I can any of those fruity drinks but it still doesn't take very many to have me waking up the next morning reevaluating my life choices. Perhaps it's just the volume of beer and the carbonation or something that my body doesn't agree with. I've always drank both beer and hard liquor but the older I get the less my body can tolerate beer. Not sure why. I have no issues with whiskey or bourbon. Now you want to talk about misery that was the night after I decided to toast some champagne with my friend. The cheap stuff that costs like 7 bucks a bottle from the grocery store. It was that day and the day drinking with the young coworker kids that I decided I will only just drink what I like and to hell with "try it you might like it" people from now on lol.
Wine only for me. And only RED wine. Can't stand any other kind of alcohol. White wine tastes like urine and squashed ants. Champagne is a fizzy version of the same thing. The hard stuff is too .. hard stuff. Beer is delicious on a hot day, but kinda pointless. Not being a big drinker, I want to acquire a buzz with the least effort short of drinking the hard stuff. A single glass of good Cab Sauv does it.
My wife had one of her daughter's friends visit from Austin a few weeks ago. Kristan or Kristen or something. I'm avoiding them for the most part, particularly since they're commiserating about what a spoiled bitch my wife's daughter is. So anyway this 30 something has brought two 750ml of Bulleit Bourbon and one of Woodford. And she's in my face about doing some of the Bulleit with her. And I'm telling her, **** ya! I don't feel like drinking any Bourbon, how about that? And I gave her a bit more ****, compared her behavior to that of my old frat and army brahs, and then pour a glass of the Bulleit on the rocks. Not bad but the Rye I guess gave it a bit of an edge that I didn't find all that appealing. Whatever, I can't keep up with myself sometimes, much less thirty-somethings. Best Bourbon I've ever had has been Blanton's. It comes in an odd octagonal type bottle with a horse and a jockey on top of the cork. Generally super hard to find.
OMG. Who takes bottles of hard liquor to the home of elderly parents of friends? I'm literally lost for words.
I can't even begin to guess. I don't think I've ever encountered someone who would do such a thing, at any age. Most people I know of that age range wouldn't even take a bottle of wine to the home of elderly relatives/friends. They'd take a house plant, or a selection of nice pastries.
