Wednesday Night Drinking Thread

Submitted by ghostofhoke on
Alright, first post ever and since no one has taken the opportunity to get the drinking started, I will. We're not getting through this night without booze. I just poured some Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition and will put a nice dent in the bottle. I'm saving the Stagg and Van Winkle for when we see him standing at the podium. Break out the strong stuff boys it's gonna be a long couple of weeks. What are you working on?

Relatively new poster makes a very appropriate drinking/social thread given the circumstances, and you rush to your keyboard to unleash the snark.    

 

Ironically, you need a drink more than anyone, apparently.

 

Kudos to the OP for getting this started tonight.  I'm going to make a Leopold Brothers Maryland Style Rye Old Fashion in Tate Forcier's honor and youtube '09 Notre Dame.

what time zone are you in.

as an aside, back in the day, i used to take a cooler to my finals and about 2/3 the way through the test i'd crack a cold one open and sip it as i finished up.  fun to see the heads of all the b-school students whip around at that sound.    nowadays they'd probably frown on that...

for the GF.  Bought a cheap Sangiovese - Tancia - from the little wine shop in Kerrytown.  Actually pretty good.  Having a JD with an ice cube for dessert.  Not the biggest fan of JD, but this bottle is of interesting provenence and needs to be finished.  Cheers.

Founders Porter. It's going to be another long, dark and heavy night; waiting for news I know I won't hear until the 29th.

Four Roses Small Batch is nice. My favorite Bourbon, though, is Jefferson's Presidential Select. Ocean is great too. But like you, I will save the really good stuff for the day he signs. Tonight, for me, it's Evan Williams Small Batch.

What this means to me is that I have four more working days in 2014 now barring storm, so due to that I am not celebrating or drinking to anything in particular. I will, however, raise this glass of Fat Bastard Merlot in honor of a very entertaining run of shitty bowls that will be upon us rather soon. Sadly, we will not be involved, but we can at least marvel in ganes that should never be.
