Rum and diet mountain dew code red

[fishwax]

what can I say ... I need a little caffeine at the moment. Rum, really, goes with just about anything anyway ...

1. Diet anything doesn't work too great as a mixer...

but if you don't have anything else, it's excusable :)

Just polished off my third bourbon & RC, on to beer...only because I'm out of bourbon, dammit :(

[fishwax]

4. Actually I've found diet orange and orange rum

to be a rather pleasant combination. :) I've always kind of liked diet drinks anyway, though, and I've found that drinking several rum and diet vanilla cokes results in a less run down feeling on Saturday morning than Rum and Cokes (with all that sugar) ;)

[Spider Jerusalem]

7. Hehe.

Bourbon seems to be pretty kind to me. I can down 4 or 5 bourbon & (non-diet) colas without getting a bit of a hangover the next day. But then I always engage in preventive medicine, too (water + vitamin B)...

[fishwax]

10. yeah, it's all about the water

as long as I drink plenty of water, I'm fine. Actually, I've never had much of a problem with hangovers anyway. Guess I'm lucky. But I always buy a new gallon of water before the weekend comes ;)

[fishwax]

5. And I love RC

I only wish I had some of that to mix with things right now ...

[Spider Jerusalem]

9. It goes damned well with bourbon.

Better than Coke, IMO...Coke is a bit TOO sweet. RC allows the sweetness of the whiskey to come through.

11. Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely have to give it a shot

perhaps next week :)

2. That is just...desperate!

And nasty.

[fishwax]

6. I promise not to make a habit of it

but our friends didn't show tonight until almost 1 a.m., so I needed a little caffeine. After this I'll switch to something a little less desperate :)

3. Reminds me of the night in college...

...when I got completely blotto on Sloe Gin.

Ruined a pair of socks, I did. I'm sure you can guess how.

[fishwax]

8. Ewww ... sloe gin

been there, (:puke:) hope to never be again ;)

[Technowitch]

18. me neither

Southern Comfort is another form of alcohol that'll never touch my lips again, either

Ugh...

[fishwax]

19. only in eggnog form

I have the southern comfort eggnog occasionally, but the actual liquor ... :scared:

[Atlas Mugged]

20. That....and Ouzo.

Ouzo was my first "real" drunk. My friends, all older than me, thought it was hilarious to get me tipsy. "Look, if you mix Ouzo with water it looks like MILK! And it's just as harmless, too!". The joke was on them when my antics got them evicted from their apartment.

Southern Comfort was my first "real" hangover. I can't even think about it without getting green around the gills.

12. Miller Lite for me

I can't handle that hard stuff, not even mixed.

[fishwax]

13. It was YEARS before I could get into beer

I always wanted to, but I drank strictly hard liquor for the first several years of my alcoholic age. I like beer now, though :)

[Droopy]

14. Beer is good for the soul

But not so good for the body as I can surely attest. 5'10" 250 :)

[fishwax]

15. Have another on me :)

This is all I've got in my fridge right now, though ...

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. I had about 6 or 7 Miller Lights tonight...

dreadful stuff but it was 2 dollar can night so what can you do?

[fishwax]

17. best cheap beer I know of ...

It's about 2.75 a six pack at the liquor stores here ... (and it's six point, which is no big deal outside of Oklahoma, but here you can only buy 3.2 beer in the grocery stores thanks to the freakin' baptists :grr:)
