Just in case I go MIA this weekend, I thought I'd wish everyone... a Merry Christmas!!
Water. Hopefully juice, if there is juice to be had. I'm partial to pineapple juice, and mango. Coconut water is my favorite, but that stuff is like gold.
I am not good at drinking alcohol. I get full faster than I get drunk. It is rarely any fun.
Good luck, though! I'm rootin for ya.
A bottle of Woodford Reserve for the holiday. It's a little bit more expensive than Jack, but the burn is easy and you only have to back it with beers.
Last year I would have said anything, but if found the drunks to be a lot more predictable when I stick to one flavor of liver killer.
Egg Nog with Rum, what else?
I like Egg Nog.
No idea. Probably white wine. I prefer beer, but I don't like having my inlaws buying me tons of beer (and if I mention wanting it, there is no way in Hell they will let me pay for it).
Gentlemen's Jack. Nothing better.
Piss...
Christmas isn't Christmas without a bottle of Bailey's
Funny you should ask. I was just handed a bottle of this last night;
Heaven. Merry Christmas to me indeed.
Nice, Hetch -- can you put me on your friend's Christmas list? (She says sitting next to the menorah.)
"She says sitting next to the menorah."
You get EIGHT bottles!!!!!
Sweet! Eight bottles. I'm going to Jenny's house.
Seriously though people can talk all the Johnny Walker Blue's and Balvenies or Pulteneys or Obans they want but there isn't a more tasty and unique bottle than LaPhroaig
Girlfriend picked up some kind of pink champagne while grocery shopping today? So a few sips of that but otherwise, nothing much except some nicely-spiked eggnog.
eggggggggnoooogggg glaargglhhgblblarg it is the best
But only a cup or two though.
White Russians.
My family is disgustingly Christian so I have to spend the holidays sober with a Christian family. Can anyone guess how much fun I have at Christmases?
Thats not the christmas spirit :D
Of course the traditional egg nog and wines are present. But I'm Greek, and once the Ouzo gets cracked, things gits crazy. Believe it.
Eight bottles? L'Chaim, bitchez! Averydoll is my faaavorite....
@jacks username-i dont know how i let it happen, but i completely forgot about white russians. I'm sitting here enjoying one now, thanks to you. Merry Christmas.
If it wasn't for the white russian, i'd be enjoying a fat tire, or any new belgium beer i could get my hands on.
Water. Tea. Hot chocolate. I made some Bailey's truffles, but I suppose that doesn't count as a drink.
@Brian Haha, nice! The Big Lebowski has forever burned the white russian recipe into my brain.
Careful man, there's a beverage here.

Agreed - and I've only had the 10 year old single malt. I bet the 25 year old one is even more amazing.
But, since I don't have any, I'ma stick with Grey Goose on the rocks, I reckon. And, owing to it being summer down here in Oz, Scotch isn't all that refreshing...
On my freshman spring break I went to Myrtle Beach with a bottle each of Absolut (tastes like fish, terrible vodka), Jim Beam (Let's establish here and now, the budget was an issue), and Johnny Walker.
On, like the third day I drank the whole fifth of Whiskey before sunset and decided it was time to break into the scotch, which I drank most all of.
I spent that whole night throwing up, Dennis the Mennis was on TBS for what seemed like forever and every five minutes I would lunge out of bed and stumble rapidly towards the bathroom so I didn't throw up in the room proper. It is, somehow, one of the clearest and easiest to remember memories that I have.
And it reminds me every day not to drink Scotch. Or Jim Beam for that matter.
Last time I was in Saint Thomas an old bartending friend of mine gave me a shot of scotch, which she told me was whiskey, and I immediately threw up on the bar.
That's a hell of a Caucasian, Jackie.
I still haven't tried Grey Goose but that's probably what I'll start drinking after New Years. If I can't afford it, I won't drink as much.
Grey Goose is the fucking best!
I'm scared to look up the price for a fifth.
Grey Goose is the fucking best!
Indeed. And you're right about Absolut being crap, too.
And, ironically, I also don't drink Beam anymore. Not just because I'd rather pay to drink something I enjoy, but also because I necked 2/3 of a 700mL bottle, straight, on top of about 8 beers, and consequently spent the next 4 hours throwing up almost non-stop. Apparently. Unlike you, nkwilczy, I don't have a clear recollection of that time...
The blood of my enemies.
I went to this video game convention in Toronto with a huge group of friends once, and somehow we ended up with no alcohol and liquor sales shut down for the night. We were eating in some super fancy restaurant with a bar, and one of my friends walks up, points to the giant, bar-size bottle of Grey Goose sitting behind the bar and asks the bartender how much he'll sell it for. The guy tells him he can't sell the bottle, they need it for the bar. They argue for a little while, and then finally agree on something: the bartender will sell my friend the Grey Goose as long as he pays for it per shot. The bottle is full, 1.75L or something. My friend agrees.
He never told us how much he paid for that bottle, but I'm assuming it was something close to a grand. Most expensive bottle of Grey Goose evar.
Thats what I call bottle service!
Oh, Laphroaig is very nice. No denying you're a man of taste Hetch.
