Monopoly was my go to when I was mostly drinking vodka cran. Love that stuff. Now I drink almost exclusively bourbon and soda, and I've had like 2 hangovers in the last two years.

Secret Spoon posted:Just gonna go back to that's the level of alcohol. Depending on the glass, you could be drinking something as high as 15% alcohol. With beer your drinking like 5-7% on average, which means you need to drink more, which can upset your stomach. Eh, I am pretty sure if I drank a twelve pack of NA beer in one evening I would still get heartburn. I also think if I drank two bottles of a 15% solution of ethanol in 750ml of water I would feel better then if I drank two bottles of wine at the same ABV. I do agree that hard liquor is all the same as any actual content other then ethanol and water is in such small quantities that it doesn't matter.

There are also impurities like congeners imparted by barrel aging that will definitely affect you.

I just skimmed the last page or so of posts because of drinking but there wAS a recent study published which suggests about half of hangover related trauma might be genetic. Let me google for a link here Fake edit: is the guardian a legitimate source? I can't remember? This is also a year old which isn't very recent Double fake edit: This seemed pretty accurate to me because by all accounts my dad was a pretty heavy drinker until just before he conceived me around age 30. I asked him why recently he didn't drink anymore and he said the hangovers just got too awful. I'm that age now and I agree; they are the definition of hell. Genetic factors make a lot of sense to me

the42ndtourist posted:This town - Hallstatt - was one of my favourite stops in my early-20s railpass wandering. Train stops across the lake and you take a ferry (like a little fishing boat, basically) across to the town, which is mostly two streets deep/high. Fantastically beautiful spot. Just be warned if you stay there - all the tourist buses leave by 5, at which point almost every restaurant/bar/shop in town closes and it's dead quiet. Thanks - I'm actually super concerned about this. We are looking at renting a house or staying in the salzkammergut over christmas (dec 23,24,25 - train to munich 26, flight out 27) - so I'm expecting everything would be extra-extra-extra-extra dead. Is Halstatt a town where people actually live, or just a tourist thing? Any feeling on if we should stay somewhere else in the area and just bus/ferry in and out of Halstatt? Are there grocery stores around these towns, or is it as sleepy as I'm expecting/fearing? I've been to remote mountainous german towns where bars and restaurants close at like 8 or 9 if you're lucky, and lol there's no lidl or anything for 30 miles. But if there's a place to buy beer and stuff to cook for ourselves and we hunker down in a sleepy austrian town, I'm completely ecstatic. Ideally I would rent a car around the area so I wouldn't be so stuck, but the nearest car rental place looks like it's about 100 miles away.  It all looks so beautiful though.

I also think if I drank two bottles of a 15% solution of ethanol in 750ml of water I would feel better then if I drank two bottles of wine at the same ABV. The general rule of thumb is one glass of water to one glass of wine for hydration purposes. If you are actively consuming 2 ENTIRE bottles of wine, then yeah, hangover city bro. But its not the wine itself, its the alcohol. As far as I know, wine doesn't hold some special dehydrating chemical aside from the the alcohol. Also, a 12 pack will probably cause mild heartburn in even the staunchest of guts of people aged 25 and over. Alcohol is the big dude on the block for any beverage, and overexposure to a literal poison can cause issues. I mean yeah, sure there might be some small differences between the various beverages, but flavor and enjoyment should drive you. If anything, a good red wine should cause heartburn due to its (usually) medium to high acidity.

SubG posted:Vodka is communist the way Scotch is British. I am confused by this post... Are you trying to say Vodka isn't communist? Because scotch certainly is British. Scotland is part of Britain. In the same way that stilton, lava bread, Yorkshire pudding and Cornish pasties are British, so is scotch.

Whiskey might not be uniquely British but Scotch (whiskey) certainly is. quote:Scotch whisky, often simply called Scotch, is malt whisky or grain whisky made in Scotland. Scotch whisky must be made in a manner specified by law.

I think that you may be cutting the whole argumentation for the origin of things a bit tight there... But let's call it colonial brittish, like e.g. maine lobster, cornbread, barbecue, pulled pork, papadum, curry and tea, and since england and scotland basically was a danish colony before any kind of distillation started happening (which also can be seen from the name uisge beatha) - you all basically are danish minions, and need to pay homage to our queen, and stop your heathen ways and turn to Odin... yeah - our ancestors hosed your female ancestors (or the sheep, if they were pretty, and kinda, just standing there, looking a bit lonely), and they liked it! Well.. it was only that one time... with the sheep.... and you know - sheeps passing in the night and all that. What happens in cornwall stays in cornwall.

I think the towns at either end of the lake are a fair bit more alive, and I wandered around Bad Ischl (a little further along the valley) for an hour or two, it's definitely bigger than the other few. It definitely has grocery stores, and I'd wager that the ones at the lake-ends do, as well. Also it was probably almost ten years ago, and I only spent one night, so things may have changed/I may have forgotten stuff. I just remember there being a number of hotels and restaurant/bars that were open in the afternoon and when I went back out for food and beer in the evening there was only one that was open. It was the stark contrast between daytime (plenty of tourists) and evening that surprised me. Christmas would be even worse, but hop off the train in Bad Ischl on your way in and stock up and I'm sure you'd be fine assuming you had a place with a kitchen. I'm pretty sure people live there - it's just like little hamlets in North America where everyone has a car and has to drive to the next town for groceries.

I made vegetarian shepherd's pie tonight with Quorn instead of lentils and I was shocked by how much worse it was. No flavour, watery, odd texture... The lentil version is so much better in every regard. Cheaper too!
