Here is today’s struggle session.
Drink vodka out of a plastic bottle like a real leftist
Sub struggle session: alcohol is way worse of a problem on a societal scale than most drugs
Ok actual struggle session because you're a baby who thinks saying facts is provocative: caffeine is the most pervasive drug in our society.
Counterpoint: farmhouse beers are traditionally the drink of working class farm hands while expensive distilled liqour was for the wealthy.
Therefore my 500ml 8% abv 2 year barrel aged farmhouse saison with ugandan vanilla beans and Malabar coffee that costs $15 is actually more working class than a $12 750 ml bottle of Evan Williams .
I will not be taking any questions.
But unironic counterpoint:
local craft beer is delicious and keeps cash local and is better than sending your money to Diageo who owns 90% of all liqour.
The lots of local places got something for everyone now dark sweet and roasty, crisp n light, bright n sour, fruity, bright n bitter, bight juicy n sweet, they even have boozy seltzer these days
Find your local brewer co-op and buy their beer. No ethical consumption etc. but at least they aren't overtly evil and actually make shit that has flavor.
This is very much my take as well. As a San Diegan it just feels outright wrong to not buy local since we have every option under the sun here—and by and large they're all very good.
They make beers that are less fizzy. Ober 11% abv tend to be flatter
Barleywines and imperial stouts tend to be pretty heavy you you'll have the check out your local breweries for the exact product names.
Oh man, do I miss drinking right now. Soon as I get the vaccine, I am opening a big handle and getting a case of beer.
You are all insane. Everyone knows the best kind of alcohol is free alcohol.
Gin gang gin gang.
Ain't getting no malaria while I'm destroying my liver.
Yes, I love the taste of chewing on pine needles
I gave my flask of Gordon's to my friend's 16 year old cousin on St. Patrick's day last year. Told him "I'm not concerned about it being full when I get back" before getting on a canoe. Figured he'd take a couple swigs and hate it. Come back 30 minutes later to an empty flask and a wasted 16 year old rolling around laughing about how "IT TASTES LIKE CHRISTMAS TREES!"
Does modern tonic have quinine?
Edit: Wikipedia says yes but much lower then historically.
It's the tonic water, and you would need to drink a ton of it to have any effect.
You're absolutely wrong, but I am far too lazy to defend my position right now.
Nobody starts off liking beer. You have to force yourself to like it enough to try other kinds and then trick yourself into calling it ‘good’. Beer tastes fucking awful. Liqour/mixed drinks are good and actually have flavors instead of slight variations on one nasty ass carb filled drink that nobody starts off liking. That being said I like sours.
Lies this dude is CIA they’re putting chemicals in your beer to lower sperm counts
Yh, I always liked beer. Then again I liked drinking those malt drinks as well when I was younger lol
beer's good because you have to drink a lot of it to get drunk and the experience of peeing it all out while drunk is cathartic
I like it actually. That's why I'm intentionally enlarging my prostate thru a regimen of daily exercise.
Been there, not as ruggedly glamorous as it appears. Beer has a built in pacing mechanism.
Imagine not drinking water only.
This post was made by the not drinking poison GANG.
I don’t drink poison either, but cmon dude. Apple juice. Especially in a 40-60 with sparkling water (the Фрицы call it Schorle).
some beer is good. until heineken buys it and they change the process and now they use hop extract and it causes headaches and you're forced to switch beers.
Some beer is good and you should drink your vodka out of glass if possible
Not showing up past liquor store hours and buying the 40 proof vodka that comes in a plastic bottle
That’s simply not possible for me because I like the taste from the bottle
Nah officer it's called dental hygiene, is it illegal to drive with fresh breath now?
I have been putting ether on my mask since I can't drink in the grocery store without people raising a fuss.
Good to hear comrade. Wishing you the best on your road to recovery. One day at a time.
Gotta hate that addictive predisposition. I haven’t drank since 4th of July and I do miss it, but every time I buy some seltzers or a fifth of vodka, I end up going wild and then proceed to buy more alcohol the next 6 days in a row. Can’t just have fun, can we?
Damn, I feel for you. Weed got legalized in my state and it’s one of the only things that has prevented me from offing myself because of my depression and anxiety. If I didn’t have it, I’d still be drinking 7 days a week. I still smoke too much and spend too much money on vape carts, but therapy and meds have helped me with my consumption.
Hang in there and stick to staying clean, eventually legal cannabis will get its way to your state. We love you, comrade.
That's not a good idea. Mouthwash has a lot of extra chemicals that are not made for human consumption, so you're poisoning yourself in addition to getting drunk.
I’m just going to use this opportunity to say fuck IPA’s. I hate how I have a seemingly infinite choice in shitty IPAs but get like two choices of a German Pilsner..... if I’m lucky
Yeah, as someone who hates IPAs but likes the various Weissbiers and Stouts and Porters, I love having 1000 ways of eating bitter flowers, a bunch of pisswater lagers, two Pilsners, a Guiness, and a third rate Belgian Witbier if I'm very lucky on the shelf.
