rkbabang Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I can only drink sweet (desert) wines. Dry (or even semi) wines don't work for my digestion. I just use it for cooking. I sometimes feel bad using wine received as a gift for marinating meat, so sometimes I save bottles I suspect are more expensive for guests. I usually buy the cheep gallon size jugs for cooking.
LR1400 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 A couple drinks most days. You must be a broker. If he's not, he's gonna be soon. ::) You nerds need to live a little. It's ok to have some drinks, even if Warren doesn't. :) Not a broker. Business owner.

It's ok to have some drinks, even if Warren doesn't. :) Not a broker. Business owner. Original post was a joke, but since you care... :) I live just fine TYVM. :) Couple drinks per day is a way to alcoholism and other medical problems. It's your life though. We care and we wish you well, but it's your choice after all. ;) And yeah maybe you gonna be just fine. Have fun and good luck.
LR1400 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I was joking with you as well. Lighten up. You are born with the propensity and susceptibility to be an alcoholic. If you make it through your college years without being hooked, you'll be ok. I know multiple athletes, some pros in fighting sports, that have a few drinks daily as part of recovery. Like 2-3 beers EVERYDAY. They have fantastic health. I think people who drink 2-3 Coca Colas a day are morons, yet we all know of at least one example of someone living well into their 80's who does just that.
boilermaker75 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 All this talk is making me thirsty. I just cracked open a Left Coast Brewing Milk Stout!
LR1400 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I think being involved in running a cyclical business has been harder on my health than any moderate alcohol. It certainly feels harder.
John Hjorth Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 LR1400, Boilermaker75 and Jurgis, Enjoy your lives, according to your own personal choises.! Thanks.
finetrader Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I'm fu**ed up most of the time. When I'm sober, I read financial stuff, trying to beat the market. It is working quite alright so far..

AtlCDore Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 boilermaker--thanks for the New Holland suggestion. I love stouts but hit and miss in restaurants in Atlanta. Do you know the difference between a stout and a porter? Jurgis--you may want to look at Wild Irish Rose or MD 20/20. I think they'll satisfy your sweet wine preference.

I see some great reviews on http://www.bumwine.com/wildirishrose.html http://www.bumwine.com/md2020.html Gonna grab couple and chug them down while doing back alley prowl for Pokemons.
rkbabang Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Since we are doing recommendations. I tried this a few weeks ago: Nitro Coffee Stout I was a little sceptical, but it was surprisingly good, and refreshing on a hot day.

Do you know the difference between a stout and a porter? I don't think there is really a difference. I couldn't tell the difference by just drinking them. Historically the strongest version of a porter was called a stout. 30 years ago I used to be a home brewer. No need these days with all the microbreweries.

Do you know the difference between a stout and a porter? Just discovered this while shopping at Meijer, New Holland has a beer barrel bourbon. I'll try it and report back!

rkbabang Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I probably should have asked who abstains from booze and drugs. I think that's one quality I admire about Trump. Why do you find that admirable? Certainly it isn't good to abuse these things, or to drive while intoxicated, but what is admirable about not enjoying life's pleasures on occasion?
ScottHall Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I think we need more consumption of drugs, not less. They can be very creatively stimulating for those in fields where that is a benefit.
rkbabang Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I think we need more consumption of drugs, not less. They can be very creatively stimulating for those in fields where that is a benefit. Depending on the drug, I agree. More psychedelics (mushrooms, mescaline, LSD, ayahuasca, etc), more weed, less pharmaceutical poisons. Especially psychedelics, there is a growing field of research into treatment for many disorders and even the benefits of micro-dosing for anyone. I don't see much use for heavy duty opioids except for infrequent short term pain relief. Cocain doesn't seem worth the risks to me, however if it were legal I'm sure there would be safer versions of it available, smaller-less concentrated doses (more like beer and less like moonshine) and such. I'm not saying anything at all should ever be banned, because no drug should, I'm just saying what I'd like to see people do more and less of.
Kapitalust Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Since we are doing recommendations. I tried this a few weeks ago: Nitro Coffee Stout I was a little sceptical, but it was surprisingly good, and refreshing on a hot day. I tried this on the weekend and can attest that it is good. Koch talked up a big game on the design of the can and the quality of the brew inside these nitro beers and it met expectations. I workout regularly and I assume that the ~1 beer a day I enjoy is balanced out by the exercise. I basically work out so I can enjoy some of the less-healthy-yet-delicious food/drinks in life.
boilermaker75 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 It is Saturday evening--cheers! That's my beverage refrig in the background.
longlake95 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Is that a Guiness I see in the background? You should be enjoying that! LOL.

finetrader Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 It is Saturday evening--cheers! Indeed! Cheers!
