Yep. Everclear. Ahhh, yet another night, that if I did now, I would most certainly have ended up in the hospital. Bars, all we looked for were quarter beers. What it was, I never knew.

The only time I remember seeing someone black out in front of my eyes was the result of Everclear. It's an impressive beverage.

That’s an old fashioned comment.

Vodka is the ideal hard beverage in my opinion. Unpretentious ethanol, minimal impurities, easy on the breath.
And you can put herbs and caraway seed in it and make aquavit.
Smithers, that looks delicious!
ADDED: I’ve never drunk Everclear, but I would use it as an expensive sanitizer.

The vodka I'm drinking RIGHT NOW tastes like orange soda, I love it.
I've been making brandy old-fashioneds lately, great stuff!I prefer whisky or gin these days when I am avoiding beer for the carbs/calories.

Just starting to read the book....but right away he impresses me to no end with this sentence: "You can use Bing.com, DuckDuckGo.com, or Google.com to search any health topic."Cortopassi wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 4:13 pm Most of us are of the thinking in this book (I think). He covers everything in 4-8 page snippets. Things that I have otherwise read whole books on are nicely summarized here.
Like cholesterol, fats, wheat, food pyramid, salt, etc.

That he did not take the typical approach of saying "Google it" tells me that, indeed, this IS going to be a different type book!

Speaking of nightcaps, and spirits with bad memories, Jägermeister made my skin crawl for the longest time, but did you know it's just a regular, slightly stodgy digestif in Germany?

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I carry 2 100ml bottles of everclear in my TSA liquids bag. I use it as a cleaner, disinfectant, fire starter/camp stove and occasional spike.
In a semi related note, I found I can get around the TSA restrictions on lighters with a rechargeable plasma arc lighter. It looks like a pen and has no fuel. And if questioned I plan on calling it a UV light. Which, it sorta is.
And Southern Comfort is an abomination.

No problem. I invented this thing I call a (air quotes) “cocktail” where I mix the vodka with tasty stuff.

Tempranillo, by a mile (that’s kilometer in Americanese). So smooth and drinkable.
Valpolicella, but I don’t often see it.
Honestly, I buy dry stuff for cooking and end up drinking it.
My neighbor is a wine merchant. I should really take advantage.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I do like gin. Broker’s is good value.
But if you can wait 3 months ( drink something else in the meantime) bruise some caraway seed, anise and cinnamon and put it in a nearly full bottle of vodka. Leave in the sunlight.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Agreed. But I can almost never find a good Tempranillo in the states. It doesn’t compare with the Tempranillo wines in Logroño. Except last week in Basalt CO at the Tempranillo restaurant. Tasted just like Spain.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Though my question has seemed to spark quite a lot of subsequent discussion I did not get any direct answers to my question. Therefore, I'm going to take it that I AM the only here who does not know what an "Old fashioned" is.vnatale wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:20 amCurious if there is anyone else here but me that had zero idea what an "Old fashioned" is?MangoMan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 6:54 amIsn't there (gasp!) sugar and other refined carbs (crust) in that?Mark Leavy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 10:42 pm Dinner tonight:

Related question....Many times when I go to hear live music there is, of course, all kinds of alcohol being served.
And, also, of course, being a non-drinker, I am completely oblivious to what people are drinking other than being able to discern that someone is drinking a bottle of some beer while someone else is drinking a mixed drink. Me? I'm mostly drinking water except when I'm feeling really wild and get fruit juice.
Now to my next question. Of all the drinks that you have been discussing in this topic are there any that would not typically be available in a music venue that is serving alcohol?

A wine recommendation from dualstow is worth its weight in gold (bullion) in my book!
Tempranillo it is!

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
My question was not that I wanted to know actually what an "old fashioned". The way it was presented it was like, of course, everyone knows that it is. Just wanted to know if there was anyone but me when reading that list who had no idea what it was. See the separate issue?
And, yes, I'm referring to bars. I generally do not go to concert arena's for live music as the value is quite low -- much higher prices and much farther away from the musicians. I like to be no farther than 15 feet from them. Some places I go to I'm right up against the stage and have to back away if the musicians make some move to the front of the stage.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Now that I've read the description I'm glad my goal was NOT to know what it actually was because I'd then have to invest more time in "Binging" what the following mean:
"muddling"
"bitters"
"zest"
You have to keep in mind that in my brief - 2 1/2 years - drinking career I tended to drink only the highest as possible alcohol content so as to maximize getting drunk as quickly as possible. Quite infrequently I'd drink cheap sweet wine. But rarely. Mostly just that high alcohol content beer. $2.00 a six pack sound right for the early 70s? Maximus Super? Colt 45? Were those the brands I was drinking?
During that drinking career I never had a mixed drink or any form of liquor aside from what I just named. W
When I was 12 years old my mother gave my cousin and me a shot of anisette to drink after we both came back to my house complaining about having an upset stomach from all the amusement park rides we'd just been on. I remember my cousin and I both being amazed how it quickly took care of each of our stomach issues. Next time I'm on Facebook with her I'll have to ask her if she also remembers that from nearly 6o years ago.

That was me buying six packs of Colt 45's. Never went to a rap concert and never will. And, this time period was over 15+ years before rap was invented / becoming a music genre.
Possibly cognac.
