View Full Version : Election night - what are you drinking?

Why so serious? How about a little light-hearted discussion on an otherwise contentious day.

So far I'm 1 drink in. Espolon Reposado, neat. It's delicious and leaves me feeling less shitty than scotch or bourbon. I think I'll start and finish with tequila. Risky strategy, but it could pay off.

Next up? Hard kombucha. This is a recent revelation to me, but I love the stuff. Like beer without the drawbacks. I have a ginger-lemon kombucha that has the bitterness of a good IPA(at 6.5%) without being sweet. I'll have that with dinner (smoked pork chops, sweet potatoes, and broccoli).

I have both Japanese and Taiwanese scotch to choose from after dinner. Not sure which to go with. The Taiwanese stuff is Kavalan. I had a great bottle of it last time I was there, but the bottle I brought home was a 1L airport special that has never been all that satisfying. We'll see how things go.

Depending on how the night goes, I might want to put a Colt .45 in my mouth alright.

If I couldn't taste things I'd go vodka. Or tequila. Or box wine.

Since I just got back from my honeymoon where I proceeded to gorge and drink myself into a bulbous fatty mass, I've declared it "No Drinks November". But if I were drinking, it would probably be scotch or whisky. Have one (or three) for me folks!

Started with a Maker's Mark Private Select, which came from a run done for a liquor chain called Mammoth Liquors in Kentucky. It's lovely. I enjoyed that for the first dram and now I'm a few pours into the 1.75 of good old fashioned Maker's Mark. If there's anything left in that bottle when tomorrow morning comes, I'll call that a win.

Wife-to-be and our good friends are enjoying some some sort of fancy Pinot Grigio that'd be lost on me but supposedly pairs well with the delicious pasta my fairer half made to feed us all. She's awesome like that.

Come what may, I've got an amazing woman, good friends, a hilariously cute puppy, and a few guns that I trust. Life will go on.

I can't believe Guinness and tequila go together, while Guinness and scotch seem like a natural.

Earlier I thought a glass of Bulleit Rye sounded good, but forgot. Now its too close to nite time meds time, so, oh well, maybe some other time. Im finally working on a bottle SS gave me a year and a half ago. Forgot I had it. I make a lousy alky, the booze companies will go broke if theyre counting on me.

Well, I was drinking a Twa Dogs Parting Kiss, which is a bourbon-aged beer that I like quite a bit. A friend of mine works for the brewery and gave me a flat of it.

But now I'm on to an Old Fashioned with Alberta Premium rye. Although it suddenly strikes me that that's only two drinks. I guess the "drink less as a dad" thing really stuck.
