****Official New Years Eve. Drinking with Shadow thread.******

[shadowknows69]

What's your poison on this last night of such a miserable frakkin decade?

[marmar]

1. SoCo with Sprite and lime.......

..... I'm a total bore this NYE. I'm just going to sit around at my apartment with some friends and a lot of mixed drinks.

[shadowknows69]

4. That's what I'm doing. Bottle of Vodka and lime tonic. I'm set.

[gateley]

2. Wild Cherry Pepsi.

In the old days, it would have been anything that said Contents: Alcohol

Have fun! :hi:

[Arctic Dave]

3. Dirty Martini. Loves me some olive juice.

[Brickbat]

5. Beer. The real drinking starts tomorrow night, when Mr. Brickbat is off work.

[PSzymeczek]

6. Mine is

Christian Brothers VSOP and Soda.

[Warpy]

7. Extra pain pill

I'll be up until the gunfire is all over, until 1 AM at the earliest.

Needless to say, even if I could drink, there's no way I would with pain pills.

I'm gawping at the Burn Notice marathon, one of my favorite series of all time, far fetched and a total hoot.

[shadowknows69]

17. I'm a good boy. Didn't take mine today. I know not to mix.

[Warpy]

83. So you're clean living

One drug at a time..

[bigwillq]

8. I had a Stoli and Sprite before.

Not sure if I will be drinking anymore. We'll see. Have a good night. :hi:

[shadowknows69]

70. Stoli, I can't afford my Stoli anymore. We have a trade embargo with Russia or something?

[Hello_Kitty]

9. Nursing a Shiner Bock right now.

Prolly some champers later.

[alfredo]

66. Started off with a Founders Centennial IPA. Drinking wine now.

Cheers




Try Schlafly Centennial ESB It's very nice.

[a la izquierda]

10. Tonight, it's Prosecco...

earlier, while watching my beloved Sooners, it was beer.

[Walk away]

11. I have decided to go with an old favorite....Margaritas.

I am just taking a slow roasted pork shoulder out of the oven (eight hours cooking in lime, onions and garlic) and covering it with fresh cilantro. The yellow rice with pigeon peas is done and fluffy and the plantains are sweet and fried. I have ice cold beer from several countries, the fireplace is blazing and I am kicking back with a pitcher of Margaritas on the rocks, so salt.

People will start showing up at about 10:00 so I have done my part and can now get my New Years buzz!

[flvegan]

12. Amstel Light.

Gotta go easy, as I'm tending to a dozen unhappy dogs (fireworks).

[Walk away]

25. Benadryl. It makes them slightly drowsy and it may relieve the....

pressure in their inner ear that might cause discomfort when exposed to loud noises. How ever it works it's great for my guys. Good luck!

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. Just gave our dog 20 mg of Valium, the fireworks are roaring here.

Vet prescribes copious amounts of Valium for the dog, it takes 20 mg. to get the poor beast to a bearable
level.
I am taking the benedryl for allergies, so no booze.

The film marathon is Studio 60 on Sunset Strip, the last of the Aaron Sorkin shows.

Happy New Year to all !!!

[Roon]

13. I got a six-pack of fat tire

Some new bud strains. And tons of "special" edibles that I get to gunie pig for tonight. I'm set!

[Initech]

14. I got a bottle of Makers for this fine new year's!

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

24. Makers, for sure

there was a bottle under the tree this year, Santa is a fine old guy. The question is, Manhattans, or Old Fashioneds....

[Initech]

38. Only proper way to drink it: on the rocks.

[Mopar151]

49. Wish I could...

1.5 l. in reserve, too many meds. I toast your health with 2% milk. I may crack open a Poland Spring to ring in the New Year, if I get radical!

[chollybocker]

15. Sipping on Molson Dry 10.1%.

My cat is drinking from the toilet.

[postulater]

16. The usual Leinie's Red.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

18. White Russians

Since I get such horrible hangovers, I'm limiting myself to one, but 2009 has been a bad year, and I'm happy to see it go.

[The Gunslinger]

23. Me too.

But I don't like to limit myself....

[abbeyco]

19. A bottle of nice bubbly

to go with my pile of king crab legs and roasted asparagus.

I'm toasting myself - and will wish for a wonderful 2010 for the whole DU community!

44. Thunderchicken

The hobo classic

Actually the first time I ever got drunk (age 16) it was on this stuff and I got so sick that I didnt drink again til I was 19.

[Harry Monroe]

81. Me and a few friends invented a drink involving Night Train and Tequila

We called it a "Mexican Freight Train". And the effects were similar to being hit by one!! The rest of the night was pretty foggy and when I woke the next morning I felt I'd been run over by said train!! I don't go there anymore, fortunately!! Sipping on a glass of wine as I write this.

[NashVegas]

46. I Had a Newcastle

And nothing else planned; going for a hike in the am :)

[pipi_k]

47. Prune juice

And not because I like the taste.



:hurts:

[Terry in Austin]

48. Homemade egg nog, with plenty of nog.

Some 1554 ale to go with the popcorn and Netflix. A nice cozy spot on the couch for me and Mrs. Inaustin.

Bubbly around midnight of course.

Hard to think of this as a proper decade, though -- going from 9 to 10 just doesn't seem to have the same epochal vibe that going from eighties to nineties does.

Heck, this decade didn't even have a proper name. "The Naughties" just never took. Come to think of it, though, that may be cause for celebration right there -- Happy New Year, everybody!

:party:
