OT: Saturday night drinking open thread
I have never started this thread before, but I have started drinking. I am honored to have an opportunity to load it up tonight.
For me, a (somewhat embarassing) change from the usual, as Jack Daniel's has been put on the back burner for the cheaper, yet suprisingly decent Evan Williams Black Lable. I am not so ignorant as to think that Evan Williams is better than Jack, but today, for half the price, I can dig it.

while watching Christmas movies cause thats how I roll.

I can dig the sailor Jerry. I used to rock it, i enjoyed the higher proof and the cherry flavor. Rum has just become too sweet for me to enjoy the same.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
Rum is my favorite of all liquors and Sailor Jerry's is my favorite of all rums. I love that it tastes stronger and sweeter at the same time. It's sort of like Vernors in that respect. And the fact that it's 92 proof certainly doesn't hurt its case.

Fat Tire and Jameson on deck once my dishwasher finishes its cycle and I can get the glasses I like. That might sound slightly neurotic, but what the hell, you're all drinking anyway.
December 8th, 2012 at 8:44 PM ^
I always prefer the correct glasses. I usually just handwash them, however, seeing as though I have been on a four+ week binge without 24 hours sober
December 8th, 2012 at 9:07 PM ^
Wait isn't that the same thing you had last night? I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Nothing for me. I've been awake for the better part of three days continuously and am planning on crashing hard as soon as the hour of the night is halfway respectable.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
Yeah, I still have some of a fifth and a case I lucked into for my birthday last weekend, I think like four Fat Tires and maybe 35% of the whiskey left. Between the girlfriend and myself, we also have a couple bottles of champagne and a twelve pack of Shock Top, so I'll probably steal some of her stuff too.
Good luck on the sleep, it sounds like you really need it.

3 days after I posted that Mr.Mario should have been the new mod, he gets banned. Coincidence? I think not.
December 8th, 2012 at 11:50 PM ^
I imagine it something like the alternate 1985 in Back to the Future II, where MrMario86 has approximately four billion points and M-Wolverine sits in southern Bolivia, BiSB doesn't have witty replies and LSAClassOf2000 trolls anyone who uses stats. Also, a2electricboogaloo and B-Nut-GoBlue post pictures from Nickleback concerts, wearing Black Eyed Peas concert tees.
I can only imagine how much better life would be...

And even better, you get all the Singani you can drink and all the empanadas you can eat. Also, Sucre is only a 43 hour bus ride from Rio de Janeiro, so if MrMario is nice enough, you might even be able to score a ticket there for Rio Carnival.
December 8th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
But I'll be in Toronto next week, so I'll have some catching up to do. I'm thinking 7 year-old Havana Club and a few Bloody Caesars (with Brador chasers) will do quite nicely.
December 8th, 2012 at 8:50 PM ^
Just drinking a Tom Collins now, finished with some wine with dinner, don't know yet wheat I'll be moving on to later.

Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
Hoppin' Frog B.O.R.I.S the Crusher
December 8th, 2012 at 9:30 PM ^
December 8th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
B.O.R.I.S is excellent, definitely one of the better RISs I have had. The oatmeal adds a bit of a different flavor, almost salty, to it. I got it for $9.99 for a bomber which isn't terrible for an RIS. I pay $16 for a 4 pack of Ten Fidy and around that for Founders Imperial Stout as well. I will definitely get B.O.R.I.S again since I only bought 2 bottles this time and one is to lay down for a year.

My girlfriend has informed me that her roomates are making 20 gallons of caribou lou, so I will probably, most likely, without a doubt, be very very drunk tonight. Tis' the season.
But for now, first thing's first. Drinking a couple Bell's Christmas Ales while watching the Heisman presentation. I missed the game from earlier, so that will be watched while I gear up my liver for tonight..
December 8th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
but really easy to overdo. Twenty gallons of it is just insane; it should be an interesting night at the bare minimum.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
We did a 35 gallon trashcan of Hairy buffalo once. Put I think 9 gallons of vodka in it, as well as a dozen of every fruit you can think of. It was below freezing for about 3 weeks so we were able to just leave it on our front porch.
Perfect winter partying drinks.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
How about a jackfruit? I'll bet you didn't put in a jackfruit.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
Guessing no durians were involved either.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
Sorry, I was telling fish stories. I put...watermellon, apple, orange, pear, kiwi, bananana, lemon, lime, strawberry, canteloupe, pineapple, grapes, grapefruit, blueberries, raspberries...I can not remember what else.
December 8th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
Wow that is actually a lot of fruit.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
Whatever there's more of left between the Glenfiddich and the Sailor Jerry's.
December 8th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
Everclear bong.

I am pretty pumped about bball, hope we can find a away to beat msu and Ohio twice this year.
December 8th, 2012 at 10:13 PM ^
....after a few bottles of the Flying Dog In Heat Wheat.
It was a full day - experienced an exciting Michigan win in hoops and some other fun as well. Trying to balance it out with a small portion of the 700 pounds of leftover baked ziti from a gathering earlier.

Anyone watching the UFC? Who do you like Henderson or Diaz. So far I can say I hate Rory McDonald and can't wait to watch him get beat. What's he gonna do when he finally gets a title shot against his best buddy GSP? Gustafsson vs Jon Jones should be an interesting future matchup...feel a little bad for Shogun though. I like Henderson in the main event. Diaz is always game, but I think he may get bullied by the bigger stronger Henderson. Thoughts?
