To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems!

Alcohol was one of the reasons civilization got started.

@Shirani
 
Apparently it may have saved civilization during plague times too. Because the disease was in large part spread through contaminated water, and people found that beer and other fermented beverages didn’t spread it due to the purification of boiling the wort (pre-ferment brew) and the disinfecting properties of its alcohol.

Tropical Hurricane for me. It’s a bar-only drink I think. Whiskey, vodka, rum and pineapple mixed in a glass with a cherry on top.

@Background Pony #41F4  
Whiskey? Blech. I need to drown that in cola to tolerate it. I can’t drink it straight

It’s interesting to me the flavors that grain can add to beer depending on the variety and how they are roasted. Brown ales have a nutty flavor with a little caramel from medium roasted barley, almost like liquid walnut with Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown ale. Porters and stouts are brewed with very dark roasted barley and have notes of coffee and chocolate. Wheat in wheat ale adds a banana flavor. Rye is uncommon in beer so I can’t speak to that, but the one rye beer I’ve tasted had a kind of earthy spice to it. Oats in oatmeal stout add a nutty flavor with a nice creamy texture.

Best/preferred booze for gaming?

Beer. All I drink really. I tried Vodka once and well…

@Corrderio  
Beer is very good. I can always go for a pint.

@noobiestbrony  
Beer is an every situation thing.

Got this today :P
 

 
ahhhhhh, you can kind of see me in the reflection of the bottle… lolz
 
 
It was 23 dollars :o well… about 21 with my employee discount :P plus tax….

@Corrderio  
Damn truth.
 
 
@Rainboom Dash  
Nice! Love the name too. XD

@noobiestbrony  
Yeah
 
 
I also got Secco strawberry and raspberry wine from Trader Joe’s (that was only like 5 bucks :P)
 
They were out of the peach bellini :(

@Rainboom Dash  
I’ll check the belly of the best the liquor store next time I go.
 
I am reluctant to go to my local liquor store though, it’s run by the State of Utah, and Utah’s alcohol regulations are some of the worst in this country!

I acquired something to sip on. Might or might not do so tonight. My state of mind is full of fuck so it might not be the best idea. Then again it could BE the best idea since sometimes it mellows me.

@ArkyNoid  
Hmm
 
 
I’d say like 1 serving worth of alcohol would be okay…. MAYBE 2…. but probably not more than that
 

 
 
Hmm… alcohol seems to give me headaches now… it didn’t use to be this bad… even just drinking like 1 blue moon can give me a headache… meh..
 
 
This strawberry and raspberry wine is pretty good…. not as good as the peach one but… still WAY better than beer :P
 
 
I think I just drank too much beer and got tired of it…
 
 
Well… I guess I did drink over 3/4 of the 750ml bottle of wine….. it was only 8% alcohol by content but… still
 
 
The pessimist is 15.2% :o

Mike’s Hard Black Cherry Lemonade! You have GOT to try it! That is all!

Behold, your resident lush appears.
 
 
I’m going to brew some homemade grape wine from the wild grapes that grow all over my land.
 
That, or ferment some grain and use the wine as a base to brew some grape flavored moonshine.

@Zincy
 
I’d like to try some homemade wine or moonshine one of these days.

@SonGokuMonkey
 
Moonshine is wonderful.

Apart from Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Henry’s Hard Soda is pretty good, too.
