I was enjoying a rare trip to whisky-land last night, and I thought, "What are my fellow boritos enjoying around the globe?"

So what'll it be?

Not drinking yet, but when I do it'll just be some soju and cider.

Soju is a Korean liquor that is usually around 40 proof. If you can find the good, traditional stuff, then it's basically the Korean version of sake. But the cheap shit you get in the stores basically tastes like watered-down Smirnoff vodka. Still, it's only like a dollar for a small bottle that'll give you a nice buzz, and it's not too bad if you mix it. It gives a bad hangover if you overdo it though. I usually limit myself to one bottle per night before switching to beer.

Not really into alcohol, but a friend and I recently hung out and had a drink. I think I had a Newcastle. Pretty tasty. I'm not big on beer though.

I've had a nasty-ass cold for the past five days, so I have found the joys of Laphroaig and hot water. In my family, this is called a "Hot Toddie," but I understand that's a different cocktail.

Normally, I don't drink whisky, and I don't drink anything other than single-malts. I'd be ashamed to do this to the Glenfiddich 18 I polished off the other day, but this Laphroaig 10 is really tasty this way.

You need cloves and sugar to make it a real hot toddie but i guess you have the important bits covered.

people are starting to hear about it and are asking if they can come.

it's kind of cool but there's also this sense of deep shame.  one of the people at the party was involved in a conversation with my GF about the game as she had played in highschool so she was totally interested in joining us, but when her boyfreind came back over, they had to stop talking about it because it was too nerdy.

and non players ask me for updates because they're kind of amused by the whole thing.

Sunday, yesterday.


Saturday I tried out a Shadowrun game as I hadn't played that since the early 90s.  I still hate the mechanics of it, but I think i'll keep going to see if the campaign goes anywhere interesting.

i think my favorite moment of our sunday dnd game was when my gf hacked the head off of an ogre and kicked it into the next room as a warning / threat to the Orc Warlord and his two lieutenants.

seeing as we are beyond the drinking watershed of noon, 1 180ml bottle of black nikka (consumed)
half way through 180 ml bottle of jack.

both utter piss, but i'm saving the awesome japanese single malt for my birthday :D


Woah, woah: black nikka is delicious for the price, and super effective at that.

preaching to the choir there, ch1nchilla.

Started on the Cotes Du Rhone about an hour ago. Got some Chimay and Anchor Steam Liberty Ale in the fridge but tempted to save those for tomorrow, when I will start on the chili that's been on the stove all weekend.

I've developed a bad habit of drinking Macallans 12yr old scotch every time I watch an ep of Californication. I only say bad because I've got two full seasons ready to go.

Had 10 shots of jack before we headed out tonight at 10. Had been drinking since 5 so I just ordered diet cokes. Our server was giving me shit but she was flirty so I like that.

Cohen, I'd also love to hear about this wine too.

And while I can't compete on quality, I might give you a run on quantity. Last night we went to a teppan-yaki/wine bar. A friend had just acquired some local pork belly similar to Iberico, in that they feed only on acorns. While feasting on that, three of us were drinking wine; we went through four bottles: an Italian white which was lively and fruity, then two French reds, the latter of which was described as "all manner of berries" -- lovely, and finished with some port, and finally a dessert wine. Astonishingly, my head was in decent shape this morning.

I meant to comment on this earlier.  Rayas is a traditional holdout in the super-modernized (in terms of wine that means overripe grapes, extraction from the skins, micro-oxygenation to smooth out the rsutic edges, and lots of wood aging).  They have one of the best terroirs (growing area) in the world and they make a remarkably feminine, structured wine.  It's quite expensive, and very rare.  It's the third or fourth bottle on my list I've drunk that I can cross off now.  It's a weird thing to do, but it's fun.

Does indeed sound fun. Have you had a chance to contrast it with anything from the same region that uses modern processes?

I watched a documentary called Beer Wars recently, about the impact of the major brewers and their mass production on beer culture. Very depressing stuff, although it seems to have spawned a healthy backlash. I'd imagine wine is broadly similar. The urge to create consistent product is laudable to a degree, and the technical aspects of it are impressive. However, when that product or methods come to dominate, it actually hurts the market because everything becomes bland and consumers ultimately rebel. (or we get Idiocracy).

We're doing six-day weeks, and I'm running between 11~13 hours every day so the one-day-weekend has to be done up right: We had a grilled meats party last night, went through four bottles of wine, one of which was one of my favorite cheapies: Pepperwood Grove Merlot. We also got through half a 1.8l bottle of Yamaneko shochu, traipsed through 500ml of a 30 year old reserve rice shochu, a bottle of Glenfiddich 18, and even pushed some Bailey's and milk over ice for two guys who normally don't drink much.

Stunningly there was no puking and no hangovers. God smiles upon the foolish.

We went on a camping trip a couple months back and we were just going to be making screwdrivers with a bunch of my wife's family.  I didn't want to spend money on good shit to share with 20 people and just mix with orange juice.  So I bought a couple bottles of McCormick and Popov.  At least we had a selection!

:lol

It's just that of the few college parties I've been to, they only had Popov (I don't drink beer, plus they only had Keystone and Natty anyways), and that shit is plain disgusting. What I don't understand is that there's a BevMo in the college town, and yet nobody uses it, apparently.

More whisky-and-water; Glenfiddich caused me to obsess over a mosquito trapped in my office with me. I finally killed it, and it can't wake me up at 4 a.m. by whining in my ear. I WIN!

In other news: it's spring, and more mosquitos will soon follow.  :-\

Had the opportunity to try some Waterloo Dark this past weekend. It was pretty mellow, a nice surprise as I've never been overly fond of dark beers.

I bought a bottle of this on Saturday:

Pretty good. Needs a little more mint though.

Worked 13.5 hours yesterday after a 12 hour Sunday -- killed my bottle of Glenfiddich with the neighbor after I got home. Realized I like the taste of whisky but it doesn't make me buzzed.  :-\ That, or I was so tired already, the buzzed feeling was indiscernible from simple fatigue.

Think I'm going to switch back to sake/nihonshuu, since it's easier for me to get loopy on.

Excellent Sunday: started with a couple cans of Yebisu with lunch on my deck, beautiful clear day; progressed into a little Talisker 18, got through most of a 1.8L bottle of plum wine, and am about to leap headlong into some steaks and red wine choice of whatever the cook is making. Been plowing mineral water as well, trying to stay ahead of a hangover. Life is good this lovely day.

Jinro House Wine. Only the finest. Tastes kinda like Night Train. It's only 12:25 here, but it's 5:25 somewhere!

Lately I've been getting into mixing beers.  Right now I'm drinking one part Young's Double Chocolate Stout with one part Lindeman's Framboise Lambic. I cannot believe how good this tastes.
That sounds pretty awesome.

Last night I had a "Silk Yebisu" - a lighter version of the standard Yebisu, I'm guessing to pander to the all-pilsner loving Japanese market. It was pretty good, but I like the hoppy normal Yebisu better.

If you're going to drink, at least try to drink something that won't make you blind.

Hey guys I finally got drunk for the first time in my life a few weeks ago with my Australian cousin.

Like four bottles of Widmer Hefeweizen and two bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale. I usually hate beer but both of those were pretty tasty.

To me, being drunk is the inverse of being high. When I'm drunk I can't control my body at all, but my mind is completely fine. When I'm high I can't think for shit but my body can operate all by itself. Weird.

No, beautiful unique snowflake, you just weren't drunk enough or high enough.

Being drunk :rock

Especially by yourself :rock :rock :rock

I can't wait to get back home and acquire a shitload of Great Lakes brews.  :D

Oh I'm describing the overall feeling. Really grand generalizations here, if that wasn't obvious enough. I got so fucked up on weed last night I thought I was going to die, and I was ready to see the afterlife.

I haven't been 'drunk enough' and tbh I never want to.

Went out for yakitori last night to a local place where the guy knows what types of sake I like. We went through 3.6 liters of Harushika Chou-Karakuchi. I am, today, a little bit worse for wear.

Well, on the bright side, there is no shortage of tasty, affordable sake here in Osaka.
Oh, hey, and the overtime era is over for another year. WOOT!

This was last night. Feeling a little slow today.  :-[

Edit: There were three people drinking; I'm not that much of a lush.
