When I do drink after work, it's usually beer. not Miller lite. This time of year I really like Shiner Oktoberfest. To me it one of the best beers ever made. It has a great balance.
When I have a Martini, I like it shaken with ice, poured super cold so a layer of ice forms on top then add one or two olives. sometimes use a lime wedge in place of an olive. I drink for taste, not so much the effect.

I worry about the alcoholics driving the other cars.

2 oz. Contreau
3/4 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup.


Bet you cannot drink only two................

Sounds good, but I can probably have more than a few.

My buddy and I when we get going will kill a bottle of vodka in an hour and a half. Were done after that though!

Yeah you have to watch it, this is why I typically don't drink during the week, and well I just don't have time. Also I find as I get older I enjoy the after affects, IE a hangover less and less.

But over the last couple of months I have had time, and I'm down the boat every night so I have been drinking more beer than I like.

Summer is over though so that's ending soon.

Its a rare day, read hard, when I come home and poor myself a martini or several. But those days do happen.

You can have all you wish.

But, be advised that this is a rum based cocktail...........not vodka. The final results from a rum drink are toxic..........far worse than any vodka drink.

If you manage four of them............you'll be paying dearly the next morning.

Yep, which is why I won't do it it. I don't do hangovers anymore.

BTW when are you going to be around? Want to go out in the boat one night before its yanked for the season?

I have been using it just about every night when I'm not working.

I would like to see that boat.

I'm in CT every Tuesday and Wednesday for the foreseeable future. Call me on the cell and we'll go out after work.
