hoorta Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 PS- FY you pussy- care to take my quiz on how little you know about Booze? I can dream up about 5-10 questions off the top of my head I bet you can't answer without cheating to look up the answers. I'll start with this- what does MW mean, and how does one get one?

Westside Steve Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Off topic? Hey WTF. Maybe in this one instance at least when we specify Vino I'd imagine Larry will be able to hold his own, quite possibly rain Supreme. Early '70s I drank a fair amount playing in the rock and roll band. Budweiser and Seagram's Seven. Taste in beer kind of grew and expanded as the years went on, always kind of liked the somewhat more exclusive Brews. In those days lowenbrau seemed like it was cool. Guinness extra Stout and Irish whiskey for the next step and the Guinness gave way to Guinness draft as more and more bars got it in kegs with nitrogen taps. Never really liked wine all that much except for an occasional bottle of Lambrusco with pasta in front of The Godfather. If I'm going to drink it now it would probably be Cabernet. If I'm not mistaken at Stan's wake Larry was drinking Cabernet sitting across from me. Then my taste turn to India Pale Ale. Shouldn't be called India Pale Ale because these days it's made with hops that weren't available when the British made it to send to their troops in India. Bitter IPAd liks Racer 5 and Torpedo gave way to the more floral Northwest hops. Lagunitas yellow snow enjoy by Maharaja moving on to Headhunter White Rajah and now the hazy ipas in the tradition of the original heady topper from Alchemist Brewing. Platform Haze Jude is one. I don't drink in the daytime at an evening of drinking is usually in the ballpark of three pints unless we start doing shots like Washington apples or green tea; you know easy shots. I'm trying to acquire a better knowledge of scotch and I like the really Smoky ones the favorite being lagavulin. But doublewood Highland Park and even the trusty Glenlivet have also got a spot in my bar. Outside of that I like to have an occasional Bombay Sapphire martini Three Olives extra dry straight up. 🍺🥃🍷 WSS Cal, Frostie is the best tasting root beer you can get but I've always had a soft spot for hires because my old Aunt Margaret used to sell it from a giant Barrel at the Carroll County Fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friends at a party wanted me to taste it, and one of them LOL so hard she had to run to the bathroom. I was born a goofy comedian child, but that time, I wasn't being funny on purpose.

The 20 refers to the highest alcohol content you were allowed to sell wine at. Or fortified wine more specifically. Never heard of mw-4040.

And it is the equivalent of having a college Master's degree. There's only 50 or so in the United States, and a few hundred more world wide. You have to be a super expert in the written subject(s) tests, and then pass a brutal tasting exam. Better be up on those Serbian grape varieties no one outside of the country has ever heard of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpeen Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I drank my lifetime limit and lived to tell the tale. I have been sober for almost 3 years now. I will admit I might have a sip of something new my wife orders every few months and had a sip from the family still in Alabama a few months ago..just making sure they were maintaining the standards of making the best corn liquor anywhere..When you are killing a couple of 1.73 liter bottles of Jack a week, the limit has been reached. The liver finally started to balk. At any rate, I didn't miss out, nor miss it. Lucky for me, non-alcoholic beers are gaining in popularity. It's not just your O'Douls anymore. Guinness 0 is excellent. It tastes like the real deal. Well. I did "sleep" better when I drank. I guess that is why i am sitting here at 2:15am posting on a message board...lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is called hot wathe other is Hoplark The water having much more variety all sorts of different hops and some hopped carbonated tea. All of which tasty had refreshing and nice for drinking in the daytime. Athletic brewing company specializes in NA beers but they are not 0 calories, still they're pretty good.
