I tried this with wine and they kinda-sorta froze. Found it was a lot better to put them in a bowl, mash them up with a spoon, and enjoy a wine slushy.

I'm going to trade in my bachelorette card in less than a week for tax breaks and discounted health insurance, but I don't intend to start living any differently. Bachelor is a state of mind and I'm staying there. We already live together and act goony together, and I introduced him to shower beers, so I don't see either of us magically changing our behaviors any time soon. Right now my fiance is out of town for his bachelor party in Vegas (lucky rear end in a top hat  ) and our roommates aren't home so I have no fucks to give about anything. My sister is flying in tomorrow and we're going to get shitfaced on wine or ginger beer cocktails or something like that while I try to finish sewing my goddamn dress. Then I'm going to glue a tiny veil and bow tie on a pair of plastic dinosaur figurines because gently caress traditional cake toppers. Brontosaurus 4 lyfe.

JEEVES420 posted:Beer cubes works wonders for warm beer. Vodka doesnt freeze, as been mentioned, and watered down vodka defeats the purpose. Ice cube shot glasses are the way to go. I used frozen mugs for beer. Is it a bad idea to use frozen/chilled glasses for booze?

I get cold when I drink, especially if it's something with ice. I have to wrap my drinks in several layers of paper towels to be able to hold them. A frozen glass would probably give me frostbite. My vodka's permanent home is in the freezer. But my goofy friend momentarily thought you could freeze it in ice cube form.

Water is the best example because it's easy to make it into it's three forms. Freeze it and it becomes ice, boil it and it becomes a gas, steam. Everything in between is it's liquid form. Alcohol can do that too, it just has a lower freeze point (and boiling point, which is why it's great for cooking with).

The tyrannosaurus still says tyrannosaurus, though. My sister's flight was bumped to tomorrow, and I have no idea where my roommates are so I have one more night of pants-optional living. Just went to the store for dinner and ended up with wine, ginger beer, lemons and limes for my drinks, ice cream, and a giant package of steak. Steak which I have to eat all by myself because my sister is vegetarian.  The only problem is I didn't realize we were out of vodka, gin, and some rear end in a top hat left less than a shot of Kraken in the bottle, so all I have to mix with my ginger beer is Sailor Jerry's which is also running out quickly. Fortunately there is plenty of other booze because I sure as hell don't feel like walking to the store again. Gonna make whiskey sours and get weatherproof while listening to the Reverend Horton Heat all night. His entire discography is like a soundtrack for bachelor living.

Depends on what I'm drinking. If it's a mixed drink, yeah, it better have ice. If I'm sipping something like Scotch, it better be neat. No ice, no goddamn rocks, just a glass of Scotch.

I look forward to the day that I'm able to drink a hard liquor straight without having to choke it down or otherwise hide my disgust and pain. I drank some top shelf bourbon with a guy at a party once and complimented its smoothness, but inside I didn't particularly enjoy it. Some day.

When I moved to Japan I switched to whiskey, because it was 1) cheaper 2) I only get recyclables collected once a month and whiskey bottles take up less space then cans, which aren't supposed to be crushed 3) I got really, really sick of only having a choice between Kirin, Asahi, and Sapporo (which aren't terrible beers but the lack of variety here just makes me feel rebellious). I started with water and ice, then ice and letting the ice melt a bit, then less ice, then neat (all with lovely $7 Black Nikka, I later made the mistake of trying nicer stuff). I genuinely enjoy sipping a whiskey, bourbon, or scotch while watching something or working on photos, or at least I did before I gave up weeknight drinking in favor of being less of a fatty

I bought housemate a bottle of Glenfiddich for his birthday and the pair of us trying to be cool and drink it neat was probably hilarious to watch. It was really nice but I couldn't finish a glass. We eventually relented and drank it with lemonade and ginger ale. Shameful bachelors.

I bought it from the library for $1. All the recipes called for at least 5 different ingredients so I never bothered to make any because I am happier drinking Senator's Club than mixing egg whites with Contreau, Campari, Triple Sec and gin plus lemon zest. Today I made some bbq chicken and now I am sitting on my apartment balcony watching the planes go by while drinking beer. Life is good.

It's weird though that the irish coffee recipe calls for sugar in a specific amount. Probably just because I'm a straight black kind of guy. Woop woop, drinking booze next to my sound system.

Probably just because I'm a straight black kind of guy. If you're making an Irish with cream and such the sugar helps the cream float, because sugar has the propensity of increasing the coffee's density. I found my old cocktail shaker two nights ago, so I ended up making martinis, but instead of vermouth I just used vodka and bitters. Tastes great and gets you smashed fast!

Got poo poo-canned from work last month with 3 months severance and have been living the dream since. Wake up when I want with a bong rip to meet the day, beer with breakfast, shower after a run with the dog, video games/Netflix/HBOGO until my eyes bleed, dinner of some sort (maybe I'll make a nice steak meal; alternatively, I'll just eat an entire tub of hummus), start up till 3 reading the internet. Pretty awesome. Only downside is knowing I will eventually need to look for a job to avoid starvation (but that's many months away with how much I saved up from the last 18 months work). Oh well, time for another drink.
