I made a double whiskey oldfashioned a little bit ago. Now I'm having a green tea with thc/cbd infused honey. :comfy-cool:
I hope everyone is having a good night. :meow-hug:
Water, because I'm a recovering alcoholic about 1 year "sober" (minus a drink maybe, once every couple months because I can finally control myself) :comfy-cool:
Enjoy your drinks all!
Congratulations, comrade. I was a heroin addict for quite some time and that was hard enough. If I knew I could get h in any convenience store in the country? I'd be fucked.
Thank you! Took a good 4 years of going a few months sober, then back at it, rinse/repeat. But the pandemic oddly enough, since I used to drink heavily to cope with stress/anxiety, helped break it. Taking away social aspect of it for a good chunk of time made it way easier, and deadass I think quarantine helped move my alcohol addiction to video game addiction but I'll take it for now lol 🤦♂️ :gamer-gulag:
And congrats to you too. I've had several acquaintances go through heroin addiction, withdrawal, and recovery, and from what they told me, I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is breaking that. Keep it up!
two years off of unemployment benefits and this song still gets me furious at the agency
Ciders are good. I've never had Strongbow though.
Edit: I just realized this is a song lyric hahaha
cheap IPA that came in a six pack of pints. Yeah, it's an eight beer day!
I don't think I've ever seen a sixer of pints. Hahahaha
Stone's FML will get you where you're going fast. And it's really good.
Some cheap ass sake cut my baby is due like any second and I have $50 until next Friday
Thank you, friend. And thank you for the post. This sort of light, community engagement post means a lot.
Yeah it can't all be doomscrolling and dunks. Sometimes you need to have a little space to breathe. I've been inspired by @Tervell to make more posts. Him sharing the weird things he finds interesting has sort of become one of my favorite parts of visiting this site.
Just cracked a seasonal local dubbel. I like a tripel but I think they're harder to do well, a nice dubbel is a good medium fancy drink.
Drinking local is always the best. Not only are you keeping your cash local and out of some corps bank account for longer. But the beer is fresher, and fresh beer is usually the best beer*.
*Property aged beers don't apply
Yeah I just moved to a town with a brewery that only does Belgian beers and makes some of the most reliably great beers in the province :stalin-approval:
man i wish i could afford to warm up my beer in this winter.
Ha! Room temp is probably more accurate. Can't stand leaving those damn condensation rings from the can everywhere.
Give me your address, and I'll whittle you a set out of scrap wood and mail them to you.
:fidel-salute: My friend switch to busch light from PBR a few months ago because PBR has too many carbs I guess. I'd rather drink water than busche light, but he has lost a bunch of weight.
Interesting, didn't know that. I usually see michelob ultra in the low carb crowd.
It might be a regional thing, where I live the low carb drinkers go for coors light
That's what he claims. :shrug-outta-hecks: My research shows a bunch of better beers with fewer carbs, but he keeps bringing the busch.
What if I judge you for only having 3? And white claws are good. If you like what you're drinking, you've already won.
kratom tea as usual! "elephant" which really is just a mix of older red leaves and green leaves.
I have bad reactions to opiates, and sadly had a similar reaction to kratom. Opiates, and unfortunately kratom as well, make me anxious and restless. I really enjoyed the experience outside of my body's reaction to it.
in a way i'd say you could count yourself lucky for your reaction. opiates always played waaaay too nice with my body and it got me into some trouble years ago. i wish i had discovered kratom long ago though it's about as gentle as an opioid gets and works in such a different way i'd almost call it opioid-like or a psuedo-opioid.
Yeah it's blessing more than a curse. I was born with a physical birth defect that required surgery, and I have life long pain from it. I've had Dr after Dr try to shove pills at me for pain, and lucky for me I can't take them. My ex-wife struggled with an opiate addiction for years and years and I am very aware that it could have been me.
I was kind of hoping that kratom would sneak by and not cause issues since it's different enough. But no luck. I really enjoyed the mellow pain relief, but the restless legs and anxiousness ruined the mood.
kratom acts as a stimulant during the onset so that might have something to do with the anxiety and RLS. part of the reason it's so different and less "mentally slowing" then opioids but could be the reason. best i could suggest is to try a "red leaf" strain before you totally discard it since they tend to have less of the more stimulating alkaloids.
How much of an effect does the tea have? I use the powder on a regular basis and it works well but holy fuck does it taste bad.
i basically make an unfiltered tea. i leave the powder in like it's matcha but let it steep in hot water for a bit. it kicks it in a bit quicker like that. and i've gotten used to the taste (been using kratom for like 5 years now). lol i can even tell you rough potencies and age of the leaf based on taste now. it's like coffee, gross by default but eventually you associate the good feeling with the taste.

:hillary:
Had a vodka soda with lime cordial earlier, just drinkin molson canadian right now.
A vodka soda with lime sounds really good. But it's always good to give your Molson muscle a good workout.
What's your usual rum? A Mt. Gay dark and stormy is my summer drink of choice.
Next you're at the store, have a look for Mt Gay. I like the black barrel. It usually costs around $25-35 for a bottle depending on the store.
here it's £28 per litre, that's way out of my price range lol
i'll keep an eye out for it going on offer though, thanks for the rec
Try Cruzan Gold if you can find it. It’s not the greatest but generally considered to punch well outside of its weight class. $16-$17 for a handle around here. https://rumratings.com/rum/254-cruzan-gold
just had a look, seems to be impossible to get in the uk
shame, it sounds good
Great for making shitty high ball mix drinks (rum & cokes). Use it in a fancier drink too and just float a tiny bit of a nice rum on top. Smell is a huge part of taste and that float is going to be wafting right up into your nose.
I absolutely can not do that. hahahah I love a good cocktail, but straight tequila conjures up bad memories.
I used to be the same way with tequila but I think it was only because for a long time my only experience with it was drinking Jose Cuervo too quickly back when I was... new to alcohol.
Oh it's for sure my fault. I was young and dumb doing tequila shots because it seemed like a good idea at the time. I just got over my aversion to vodka, and it took me years.
Drinking Ol Fo Bourbon and the Mrs. is drinking red wine :)
My friend got me a bottle of old forrester for Christmas. I can't wait to try it. It's been on my list to try for a while since it gets great reviews and it's very affordable.
My favorite cheap whiskey is mellow corn, but I use that exclusively for whiskey sours. For everything else I usually keep around some makers. My friend that got it for me got it because he likes it better than makers and wanted me to try it.
