What are you drinking while ILX is down: the temporary wine/beer/spirits/etc. thread

RESULTS:
You gotta like gin for this one. My sugar had not completely dissolved, i'd found after finishing it. It was tart, but I like tart, but I'd use a smaller lemon or slightly more sugar. Gonna be a good summer drink.

Saw this episode last night and it made me thirsty... for Slurm!

these will FUCK you up if you're not careful

one can pabst
two bottles budweiser
three shots patron
two cans guinness draught

Um, yeah...I started slurring on the phone with my mama while I killed it.

mmmm....sorghum.

have been invited for bourbon hot chocolate after work. i see potential in this.

i have been drinking H2O

i have been drinking a gold medal winner at the world beer championships

also: green tea x 100

lots of h20 today. only 1 cup of coffee! go me!!!

i'm not "into" coffee

i find it can have amazing richness and depth that is v v comforting.

harbl i am forcing myself to drink green tea. 2 cups today. not so bad.

i used to have to "force" myself (not really force, i mean i just wasn't that into it but i wanted something hot w/o caffeine so i would) but now it's just a habit. i drink 2 huge cups most evenings without even thinking about it.

that is what i'm trying to do. it's not gross, so i'm not gagging on it or anything. but i'm really lazy about getting enough liquids everyday. this is part of my (probably short-lived) attempt at being healthier. i discovered last night that i'm turning into quite a fattey, time to put a stop to that!

drinkin' some spiritz y'all

drinking yellow tail cabernet sauvignon

ever heard of it

vintage?

it's "pretty good"!

"For 3 generations the Casella family has been making wine at their winery in the small town of Yenda, situated in South Eastern Australia. It is here that yellow tail is created with a simple purpose in mind; to make great wine that everyone can enjoy. yellow tail is everything a great wine should be. It's approachable, fresh, flavorsome, and has a personality all of its own."

i have approached the yellow tail

doesn't list the vintage. i'm assuming 1992

twas a fine year in South Eastern Australia

up next

Been genuinely surprised by the number of friends and acquaintances who've opted for a dry Christmas actually.

Meanwhile, have been enjoying champagne, a rather nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from the local offie, Baileys and Stones Ginger Wine.

A couple of nights ago had a few pints of Youngs seasonal ale, Angels, appropriately enough in a pub called the Angel and Greyhound.

ive been buying some proper ale type stuff like 'goose island pale ale' & 'sierra nevada pale ale' along w/ claret & chablis

Made greyhounds with fresh-squeezed grapefruit last night. Hit the spot.

want to try this http://goodbooze.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/the-friday-tipple-midnight-in-paris/

not a fan of sweet drinks in general, but would drink ^^ bet it's good w/hendricks

yeah i am always wary of anything containing syrup but a mission of mine has been to try making stronger syrups i can use less of. this might be a good place to start.

drinking this
