If you want it to. I'm game.

Cheap Rum makes me happy;)
High end Scotch is lovely
Any Beer...lots of beer!
White Wine with a bunch of ice
Vodka...straight or mixed... do it

Pretty much any alcohol except Tequila, that stuff makes me sick

[–] GlenEllyn (21089) 5 years ago

I find rum is dangerous for me.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71750) 5 years ago

Interesting!
Rum is the kindest of the liquors for me
A steady head and zero anger, I quite get along with Rum

I have flown off the rails with the Scotch and Vodka so I usually avoid those for the most part;)

I tend to be best behaved on gin. Whiskey turns me into King Kong.

I drink whisky all the time. Take that as literally as you care to, but I always assumed when people get weird on ANY booze it's more a reflection of what is underneath the outward personality. I'd be curious what evidence there is that certain alcohols create different effects on people. I wouldn't think the taste of something would be a factor and the alcohol levels would be equal.

I use alcohol as an excuse to misbehave. Lions suck! HAHA I said it!

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

I liked to indulge in Vodka or Gin a few years ago, mixing it with Ginger Ale or some type of lemonade. Also, there is a soda pop made by a major label that has four simple ingredients. It's their equivalent to Sprite. I always forget what it's called, and I have one friend who dislikes it as compared to Sprite, but I admire the simplicity of the concoction. Problem was I would mix my drinks 90% booze with a full glass of ice and splash to mix on top. I think the sugars of both booze and pop contributes to feeling lousy the next day.
However, lately I've pared down my consumption to PBR or Pyramid Outburst with straight cheap whisky on the side, which I sip. Rich and Rare or sometimes Canadian Hunter. CH has a rye that is higher alcohol (90 v 80%) and only a buck more when on sale. When that catches my eye I might grab that once in a Blue Moon (w/ orange. Not my drink but sounds good.)

The gal from Charlie's Angels? She was my favorite. She seemed the smartest of the gals, and not quite as intimidatingly pretty.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

yes! that's her!

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21089) 5 years ago

Yep, always liked her. The first time I recall seeing her was on The Rookies.

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

She did a lot of work. I forgot about the Scarecrow show. Don't think I was watching a lot of TV at that time. I never did watch Charlie's Angels except for commercials and bits and pieces.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21089) 5 years ago

Back in those days beer was different, and healthier than water because the alcohol killed the bacteria. Think "chunky" beer - pieces of grain, etc. in it.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (71750) 5 years ago

Sounds kind of gross...
I'd certainly try it though

Yep, a bit gross, to be sure, but that's all they knew so no problem.

Rum is one of the only alcohols where, when I was younger, I thought a higher alcohol content = better buzz. I got sick drinking 151 rum. Since then I've been a bit leery of rum. And from what I recall, the taste of rum in coke isn't very appealing for me. But if there was a mispour at a bar, I'm might accept it. I'm not above a free drink once in a while.

After a teenage bout with anorexia I discovered physical activity was key to a healthy metabolism.
Even if you are pressed for time and can't exercise you always take the steps, always walk or ride your bike (when you can) instead of jumping in the car and mow your own lawn instead of hiring someone else to do it..These sort of things..
Take advantage of every opportunity that makes you have to move your body instead of considering it a chore..

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

Since I like to drink a lot, I don't crave sugar much. I know if I quit drinking I would begin to crave sweets. But I do like cheese and avocado I believe is rather healthy.

reply

[–] bohemianroxie (2471) 5 years ago

That's true. When I drank I never ate sweets even on my off drinking days except around the holidays...
But, unfortunately, I was exhibiting increasingly reckless and risky behavior with my drinking and I just had to stop. It wasn't a temper thing or a health thing. It was a no limits thing.
So yeah..now I crave the occasional donuts or whatnot but I mostly eat healthy and I remember everything I said or did the next day.

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

I'm sorry about your drinking story. I'm surprised I've never been in trouble and still have my health. I think I simply can't abuse myself to that degree. I've had a couple PBRs and it's barely 1:00 but I don't think I'll be drunk until around 6:00 or later.
I often wish I weren't drunk every evening but I really don't know what else I would do. Not married, no kids. When I work late, I try to drink a little more quickly so I can fall asleep sooner.

reply

[–] bohemianroxie (2471) 5 years ago

Whatever gets you through the night.
I suspect many people drink from loneliness but for me it was shyness. It cured that for me a little too well.
But it wouldn't work for me for boredom or loneliness. I'd rather watch a movie or read a book or a million things I never could do when I was drinking.
The only thing I miss about it was the camaraderie. So I guess in a way drinking did cure that perpetual feeling of loneliness that I and so many of us share.

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

This is very interesting and intriguing. I guess I am very lonely. Hmmm .... And bored. Yeah, I guess drinking does address this, even though I don't walk around claiming I'm so lonely and bored. Don't tell me I'm not social enough. I talk to all kinds of women I find attractive yet nothing comes of it. What am I supposed to do? Wink and waggle my tongue?

reply

[–] bohemianroxie (2471) 5 years ago

Please. Don't. Wink and waggle your tongue..No..
You said nothing comes of it. What do you want to come of it?
Are you looking for a friend? Are you looking for a date? Are you looking to get laid? are you looking for a relationship?
What do I know? I attracted good guys and bad boys and for some reason I'd leave the good guys and stay with the bad boys. I ended up with a bad boy that somehow transformed into a good guy because he got very sick. Humbled him, I guess.
But my point being is that too many of us look for the wrong things in the wrong places and wonder why things aren't working out..

And you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely and be all alone and not feel lonely at all.

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

I'm just saying when I was young we would exchange cues that would signal maybe we wanted to be intimate. These days I don't get that. It's a little sad and frustrating. It's very sad and frustrating. But I seem to be functioning and if I never get laid again I guess I'll still live out my normal life.

reply

[–] bohemianroxie (2471) 5 years ago

I've been with the same guy for 15 years..But it seems now everything is a dating or hook up app. No mystery..and no chemistry..Nothing wrong with that, I guess. But I doubt it's as much fun.
In the era of metoo I guess it's the safest bet.

Today, I saw a young girl walking with an adult and feeding her maw with Cheetos into her mouth like clockwork. like nobody's bizness. Eat, eat, eat. Kids should not be modeled to eat junk food.

[–] GlenEllyn (21089) 5 years ago

I'm always amazed at how many folks can't go anywhere without eating or drinking something - not even a trip to say, Home Depot. They still have to slurp on that soda, coffee, or whatever. 🤦‍♀️

I once told someone I have food issues, haha. I don't really, but I am a little aware of people eating alone in public and looking like slobs. I try not to eat alone in public. Sometimes I might eat in my car when I'm alone, but when I see other people doing so, I think, what a pig !

I have not had home-made lasagna in forever. My Mom made a great lasagna, along with really good spaghetti. She had a way with inexpensive pasta dishes. I think she always used rich, as opposed to lean, beef. One day I think she unannounced used lean beef in our spaghetti and my Dad complained. I was pissed at Dad for making Mom feel bad, but it didn't taste quite as good. We were spoiled. Even a plain old cheeseburger tasted heavenly back then.
