Took a paella-making class in Valencia and they got me day drunk

[herlittlebunnyboy]

It's friday night! Do I go out play some pool and get sloppy having drinks at a bar and meander to a friend's place after or do I order a pizza drink here and enjoy a nice drunk night in with friends playing games?

Choices choices and feel free to weigh in mutuals or admirers

Apart of me likes to believe that Bo doesn't actually have a an ID or Driver's License, anything. He just has a fake ID he made when he was a teenager and McLovin'ed through life like that.

"Ohio is NOT a Midwestern state," my Illinoisian wife once hissed—and yes, she meant that in a bad way.

I'm going to have to disagree about the "not Midwestern" part, but I can see what she means, after a decade in Illinois for comparison. The vibe here is different (in a better way, I would add), and there are traces of New England cultural influences sometimes in funny ways—there are Blue laws!

For the USAmericans and foreigners alike: access to alcoholic beverages is tightly controlled in New England. You have to go to a specialty liquor store ("package store"), and these have limited hours of operation. Alcohol is NOT sold in supermarkets or gas stations, etc. They may have relaxed the laws slightly, but when I was growing up, liquor sales were forbidden on Sunday. (I remember my elderly alcoholic co-worker begging the boss to sell her a bottle of wine from the restaurant on Sunday.) When you're used to this milieu, the rest of the country seems positively awash in booze.

Fast-forward to shopping in the Ohio Walmart, where they do have beer and wine: but no hard stuff. Weirdly, rather than not selling it, it's available in a diluted to 20% ABV or less version. (Surely there are other states in this bizarre diluted hooch zone...?) You have to go to a dedicated liquor store to get things like whiskey or rum not watered down.

I was looking at a local paper in the break room and saw an ad for a liquor retailer, calling it "carryout" just like Massachusetts lmaoooo. And that stupid roundabout I always have to drive through—if Ohio is so determined to channel Massachusetts, can we at least get some more Dunkies?

Champagne

Written for the @allvalley100 Word Drabble Challenge. This time it was “Ritual.” 100 words as counted by A03 Drafts. Fourth fill.

…

It’s become a ritual between them.

Mr. Silver falls headfirst into one of his elaborate schemes, and Margaret draws him a bubble-bath, rolling out the liquor trolley herself. 

She nods in all the right places while he drawls on about war-buddies, revenge, and tournaments, surrounded by soap, suds—not much else. 

Yes, the motive can be improved upon—but the champagne’s divine. And while she doesn't know who this LaRusso is—as he's given her a chance to kick off her heels for an afternoon, she clinks her glass against Mr. Silver's nonetheless, toasting to the boy and his demise.

Hello! I got curious about the alcohol poll you posted and the other anons comment about the burn being unpleasant. For me the burn is a central part of the pleasure of drinking. For me a good glass of whiskey, vodka or cognac is good taste with a distinct burn but without an overwhelming taste of etanol. Do you really not enjoy the burn in the slightest?

i think i am maybe the worst person to answer this XD

I think that "burn" flavor/sensation is like most strong flavors in that they tend to be divisive and have people who love them and who hate them and a quiet spread of people somewhere in the middle. Like some people are down with drinking everclear straight and some people won't touch anything that's more than 0.1% alcohol by volume and then a lot of people fall somewhere in between.

also incidentally, this is where my comment about the different flavors of alcohol comes out: I don't like the burn of whiskey or gin but I do like it in tequila + mezcal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and then you add in additional ingredients and it becomes a matter of balance

the drink quiz just made it abundantly clear that it's a mystery how I escaped childhood having never drunk perfume. I want weird herbal/floral drinks at all times.

Finnish burger joints should be allowed to serve wine to customers, just got a hot chili meal with a chipotle ranch dip from a local place and one of the cheapest red wines with an animal label I could find at the nearest Alko (a state-owned alcohol retail monopoly chain for any stuff above 5,5% ABV in Finland) and this combination just fucks so hjard
