What do you start off with - it's your bar - you gry ehatever kind of drink you wish, how would that evening look to us?

I, if am am drinking at all, a can of coors light. Then after about 8 of those, I switch to gin and tonics with 2 limes. Each one succesively weaker.

Then I usually try and get a virgin bloody mary as I am beginning to wrap up the evening,

Then I cap off the drinks with two or three Spanish Coffees ( I had no idea just how much of a regional drink those were, New Oreleans - never heard of them - San Francisco - think they know them, but they add tequilia [ which is a monestary [ which I also like a lot ] ). I never get loud. But I do like to have fun with the increasingly beautiful cocktail waitress.

Then I go to Jakes for more spanish coffees - or El Gaucho. " No show - hold the orange thing too...OHHHH a Bananas Foster?!?! How could I resist? "

Slurring my speech is the first thing to go. I remain agile and internally superhero-ish until I see something that makes me want to cry. All night I have been inside my own head. Aware of my surroundings. Not really ever relaxing. But then I see some kid who it too young to be outside and I worry so much that I am afraid to make any move becasue I don't want to get nailed for looking like a pedophile.

So then I flirt some more with the staff. Over tip, then get home.

I like it.

Took a cab, right?

My two rules for being drunk are so appropriate, and true if you think about it.

1) Nothing is sacred.
2) Everything's funny.

That is the type of drunk I am.

I am a funny/nice drunk. Im a hell of a nice guy when Im not drunk, BUT when I'm drinking im even nicer. Almost too nice. No matter what I'm drinking, whether its Gin and Tonics, Rum and Cokes, Beer, I always have a Momma Timberfake Bloody Mary the next morning. It really does help with bad hangovers, which I don't seem to get anymore.

I'm that kind of drunk too. It's the only way to fly, and no regrets in the morning either.

I start with a long island, then another long island, and if I know the crowd well enough, another one!

From there it's light mixed drinks to sip on, because I know the third one was over the top! All about interesting tastes and conversation pieces. Probably won't finish any of them, it's just fun to order stuff, taste it and talk about it.

When the end is near, coffee. Strong coffee and lots of it for the ride home. (and yes, somebody else is driving after just one!)

I find a healthy dose of water, ideally in the form of coffee, cuts the hangover nicely the next day. So does sleeping in for most of it.

Edit: It's also either a beer or hard booze night. Almost never mix the two. Getting drunk on wine is something I never do. Don't know why either.

Getting drunk on red wine brings back too many memories.

Last time I got drunk on Red wine, I blacked out, then woke up full of vomit and I Pooped my pants(no puin intended) I really went doo doo. It was a disgusting mess. Having a BM while asleep is the worst. And just to clarify, when I say B.M. Im talking bowel movement not Bloody marry.( Although waking up with Bloody Marry Mix in your pants may raise some interesting questions.)


I still like to use the whole BM line when I'm at parties. (Here is an example)

" Hey Jane, I forgot to tell you that I had the most incredible B.M. last night, It was so good it put me to tears. Its by far the best B.M. I've ever had. It was very very spicy".

When Jane gives me a weird look, I tell her that a B.M. can also stand for a Bloody Marry, not just a bowel Movement.


Or even better, when you're at the bar, ordering a drink ask the bartender this.

"I was just curious, how strong are your B.M's?? Because I enjoy Strong B.M's that are on the spicy side

Justin--
I actually dropped that joke upon the waiter/bartender at the 162nd McMenamin's one time a couple years ago. He just gave me a weird look. In fact, I haven't seen that particular waiter/bartender since then.



Truth be told, I don't even use alcohol. I'm like MacGyver.

I'm drunk right now.

I seem OK.


I notice Darktemper has not chimed in here yet...

Oh, i've seen this thread, i've just been trying to forget that evening.

But in response to the question at hand:

"St Louis".....nuff said!

I don't drink.
Next topic.

Same here. I'm a control freak when it comes to my own body.

Honestly I'll have a couple of beers, but I don't get drunk anymore.

I think I just get kind of stupid.
I once started throwing popcorn at a table of bikers.
(OK really stupid..)

It reminds me of the old Bill Cosby bit about cocaine:

"I said to a guy, "Tell me, what is it about cocaine that makes it so wonderful," and he said, "Because it intensifies your personality." I said, "Yes, but what if you're an asshole?"

I don't get drunk off of beer. Because after 3 or 4 I feel pretty bloated and don't want anything else.

I think I get more funny when I drink and always more talkative and open without regards to what or who is around me. Food is almost always a neccisity for alcohol consumption. Appeitizers and snack food or at the very least a meal before I am done drinking for the night.

I think everyone has that one alcoholic beverage that they just can't do because it was the first "bad" drinking experience. For me Seagrams Seven. Just can't do it! Then there is that one liquor that you know that if you consume too much of something is just going to go awry between time of consumption and the next morning.

Tequila if its good quality like a Patron Silver on the rocks with lime is just soothing to me. It calms and relaxs me for some reason.

Cabo Wabo puts Patron to shame! If I drink anything from HRD its a gauranteed puke fest!

tequila ... can't do. Bad experience many years ago, the taste of it makes me hurl to this day.

Blacking out is the WORST, because you do really stupid stuff that you never would sober ... I'm ashamed to say I've fallen in that camp a few times.

I kick some ass when drinking, no seriously I literally kick some ass. I've been told I'm a mean drunk. After a few BM's Im a crazy person.
Although Im crazy sober. Im not a huge fan of B.M's but when I do have them, I like them to burn.

Well I'm naturally funny and good looking, and when I drink I just become more so.

At least, in my eyes.
