Saturday's "What are you drinking?" and St. Patty's Day thread

Yes, I know that St. Patrick's Day isn't until tomorrow but I believe most people will be celebrating it today since tomorrow is a Sunday and a hangover tomorrow is much better than one on Monday.

Right now I'm in Chicago drinking coffee about to get my day started with some eggs, bacon and Glenlivet 15.

So what are everybody else's plans for the weekend and what sort of beverages will you be enjoying?

Also, I saw on Twitter a quote from Trouba: We'd like to avoid playing on Sunday.  It's St. Patrick's Day.

I like the way he plays and thinks.

waking up means going out in this snow and cold weather to devastate my body, which, over the last four years, would have been great fun. but now that i'm graduated, i just wonder, like, what's the point, man?

This time last year I had puked at least twice and was already on my third wind, loving every second of it. The other issue now is that going to campus to party with students just reminds me that I am no longer a student and back to living with my parents. Damn.

fear, as somewhat your elder, I can tell you that St. Patty's Day continues to be a celebration of beer drinking, it just becomes a calmer, more sedated version of that.  Buckets of beer at six o'clock in the morning turns into a good 12 pack of some kind of Irish beer starting around noon while watching some good basketball.  It can be with friends or solo, just a good day to have a few, poor a bottle into a tall glass and look at the head while sipping, and just think about the Spring to come shortly.  And you don't destroy your body for the next week, just a quick headache the day after and your good to go.  Cheers.

Not a huge fan of the latest album. Its not bad, but doesn't hold up to previous efforts. That being said, they've been one of my favorite bands since the early 90s, and I can't wait to see them again.

I can agree to that, although its hard to match those albums since they set the bar so high. At least it's better than their previous 2-3 albums.
I've never seen Periphery live, so I can't promise they'll sound as good as their recorded stuff, but that probably goes without saying for a lot of bands.

Well, I plan to break into the Guinness later, but for now, it's coffee and an impending trip to Meijer to get the necessary fixings for tomorrow's stew. Tonight, I am going to try out a recipe for Chicken Jerusalem that sounded good when someone talked me through it at work. Hopefully, I remembered everything.

My parents are coming by in a bit to take me out for a 30th birthday lunch (birthday is on Monday). So I will probably have a couple beers on them. Then one of my wife's friends is having a housewarming party. Will drink some more there. Then another one of our friends is having a St. Patty's day party later tonight where I will be doing some car bombs and more drinking. 

Will attempt to wake up tomorrow for some bloodies on campus and more drinking. I took Monday off from work to recover and chill on my birthday.
