Booze

You can get Yuengling at pretty much any place here that sells beer. Grocery stores, Walmart, gas stations. My first beer was a Yuengling Lager. I still remember my first impression of the taste. "Wow . . . it's like . . bread cola!"

I'm so jealous. Yuengling is so very, very good. The first time I had it was at a bar in Pittsburgh when I went up for the WVU-Pitt game one year. Ever since then, I have my friends who go to WVU bring me down a case whenever they come in from school. People who don't like beer should try it, I think it could change minds.
 
You guys would hate it where I live. In the store, you can only buy beer and it's 3.2 percent. You can only get the high point beer at the liquor store and it's really expensive. You can only get liquor at the liquor store and most of those stores close at seven.

You can't go to a bar and get liquor either unless it's a club. Clubs you have to pay money to get into. You also cannot get a real Long Island Iced Tea. If you want one, you have to order additional shots of rum and make it yourself since it's illegal for them to give you that much alcholol at once.

It is also illegal to drink straight from a pitcher of beer. But doing that would make you an idiot anyway.

Oh, and here is where fry sauce was invented which really has only caught on in a couple other states. Who can guess where I'm from?
 
Alcohol suddenly loses a little of its entertainment value when it's legal. Drink up youngins!
On a related note, I just started a new job which happens to have the highest alcoholism rate (and the second highest divorce rate) of any career :D, now where did I set my bottle of 151?
 
Water.

Hey, on a similar note to drinking, are the CIC scotch tumblers going to me made available for order soon? I really want one or two. A CIC or TCS Eisen shotglass would be pretty great, too.

Everyone says they look like shotglasses, and they're not. They're regular glasses. And you can only drink water or coke from them.

Shotglasses would be more unique - and would go well with single malt scotch. (William Forstchen approved!)
 
Coming from Milwaukee, I generally drink Miller High Life as my standard cheap beer. When I'm feeling like something better, lately I've been drinking Harp or Pilsner Urquell, or one of the multitudes of microbreweries we have around here.

As far as spirits, I like all varieties of whiskey (especially scotch) and vodka. I can drink cheap beer, but I can't stomach cheap liquor anymore. The hangover just isn't worth it.

And Shipgate, you don't live out in Utah, by chance? I hear the Mormons did a number on liquor laws. I also hear there's actually a few counties scattered about the United States that are completely dry.
 
See, today I bought this bottle of rum that was blended with tequila and some natural lime flavor it said. One might think this is something fairly fancy, but I suspect it was just some leftover crap the company might have thrown out but they mixed them together, added some lime flavoring and slapped a new label on it. It tastes good though. I'm mixing it with Squirt anyway.

This same thing however happens in restaurants as well. Be wary of the daily special. If a food place has maybe some old fish that they need to throw out, instead, they'll shove a bunch of spices into it, blacken it, add a few other things to it, and then charge you a lot of money for it and pretend it's some fancy special. The bottle I bought wasn't too expensive though. But don't buy anything blackened at restaurants. Especially if it's the special of the day. And if your fries are too dark-looking, it's likely that establishment really needs to change the grease in their deep fryer. A lot of places are really complacent about changing that thing. Yuck!
 
Shipgate, there are many reasons why frys turn black. I work at a restaurant, and we make fresh frys everyday, and change the oil in our fryers twice a week. About twice a year we get potatoes that have a high sugar content, since we cut and blanch our own frys, the high sugar content coupled with high temp frying leaves the frys dark, the sugar in them caramelizes. Its not always dirty oil. thats all Im sayin................................what is this thread about anyway, damn I need another beer.
 
Did you all get sloshed last night or something? You should get drunk and then play the mission where Blair gets drunk. That would be a challenge.

When you caramelize something till it's dark, most people call that burned.

Not a good idea - playing any other game than solitaire in this state makes me dizzy (uhhh.... damn headache)
 
I learned a long time ago that drinking beer/liquor and playing Wing Commander don't exactly mix. When I was in my college years I'd play after coming home from the bars. It was great fun, but in the morning I could only remember part of what I'd done.....
 
Sounds a lot like oklahoma to me. They only had 3.2 beer there and all those other stupid liqour laws when i went to school there. They were so strict on beer and such yet they had a porn shop on like every corner in tulsa oh well.

Really? I've never forgotten anything the day after drinking. I think you'd have to pass out to become forgetful wouldn't you?
