No booze tho

Fucking creepy ass computers. It's weird enough that FB knows every time I seem to meet a new person, now apparently the computer is reading my texts or other message because I just got this shopping suggestion: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O5A6ZZK/ref=pe_852110_155571190_em_1p_0_des

I'm firmly convinced one day we will log on and hear a voice "Exterminate, exterminate" !!!!

Grey Goose + V8. I'll be switching to Grey Goose + Lacroix berry flavored water later. After 4 1/2 weeks off of the booze (except for a little wine on Thanksgiving and one night when I had 2 drinks) and on my Whole 30 cleansing diet, I've dropped 15 lbs. I'll mostly stick to the diet, but I'm adding liquor back in for the next 2 weeks, then starting a new cleanse after New Years Day.

Aaaahhhh... The liquor makes my tummy feels like it's on vacation somewhere nice & warm.

BDM, I think we hear that every time we log in here, whether we want to acknowledge it or not.

Jameson & Angry Orchard.

On here it's more like "jump off a cliff" "jump off a cliff".

Love My Goat red wine by Bully Hill. Mildly sweet table wine. Not bad at all. May become a go to.

Sounds like something Alex would steal from his Grandparents.

I was expecting a screw top but it has a cork. lol

Beer. At least 4 different kinds: Newcastle Brown, Alaskan Icy Bay IPA, Double Bastard and some kind of Belgian ale that I bought for a recipe (Belgian beef carbonnade stew). I'm trying to get my taste buds back in beer mode for next weekend's upcoming Great Alaskan Beer & Barleywine Festival. I had tickets last year and didn't make it because the night before my friend brought over some drunken lunatic chick who ended up stripping, popping and rolling around all weekend. If I ever hear the song, "Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat" playing in my house again, I'm gonna blow up the fucking stereo.

I should post this next part in the pet peeves/things that make you mad thread, but I don't feel like it. Each Beer Fest ticket cost $45, which is already a lot. But, on top of that, Ticketmaster charged $45.10 in "Service Fees" for the 4 tickets I bought, even though I'm printing the tix at home. So basically it was 4 tickets for the price of 5. Fucking assholes.

The Belgian Ale is Leffe Blond and I swear it was spiced with cloves. It'll be great in the stew, but I wouldn't drink this for enjoyment. It's nice and strong though. Sometimes nothing beats a beer buzz.

Fuxking Siri. "Set a timer for two and a half hours," does not mean I'm cooking tuna for half an hour. Dumb bitch. I know I'm dunk, but I wasn't' slurring my words just yet.

What's the Double Bastard like?
I hate about every IPA I ever drank.

It was somehow malty and bitter at the same time. It was great though. And VERY strong.

Full Sail IPA was my go-to beer for a long time. I wish I had bought some last night instead of the Newcastle. Microbrewery beers are huge in Alaska and for a long while there everyone was in love with Alaskan Amber, which I thought was horribly, disgustingly sweet. I liked Full Sail Amber instead and that's what go me started on the Full Sail kick.

Going to have a pint of a craft brew and then start on a 26oz of Glenfiddich.

I won't go quite to "hate" but for the life of me I never saw all the fscking hoopla.

It's become faddish with hipsters I think. I don't like the hoppy flavor at all.

That Alaskan Icy Bay IPA was awesome. I could drink a case of that easily. So IPA's are the hip thing now? I must've missed that. I'm honestly not a huge beer drinker. It can totally fuck up my blood sugar. So did hipsters stop drinking PBR?

Hops have their place, but leave it to Hipsters to overdo everything.

Steez, I dunno about the PBR. I try to stay the fuck out of Billyburg.

Like cilantro? I remember when every fucking new dish I tasted was filled with the stuff. I like it in moderation. Then there was the whole Sriracha craze. And the fascination with chipotle pepper. And big goofy beards.

^YES! Spot on.

I drink a lot of cider, and especially Angry Orchard. Local market bought a bunch of their "Hop'n'Mad" variety thinking someone (read: Me) wold buy it. When it didn't, dude was all WTF? I told him 'if I *wanted* hops I would've bought a beer in the first place."

All these crazes are directly attributable to fleecing teh hipsters of their decidedly UN-earned cash.

Lite beer is still king with the majority of young'uns cause their very stupid. I hardly ever see a hipster drinking a PBR anymore. Everyone raves about IPA's. A record store I go to in Knoxville has parties and provides beer often. 3/4 of them are IPA's. Sweetwater is one I recall. I do not like them. I'd rather have a Bud or a Stella or just about anything.

Great Alaska Beer & Barleywine Festival tonight. 'nuff said.

I now have one more huge reason to hate hipsters. My favorite bar closed down last year and someone decided to buy out their name, move the old bar counter, etc. to a downtown location and turn it in to a old-timey "speakeasy" with every goddamn hipster dufus gimmick you could possibly imagine, including a bartender with a big, dumb beard. The old bar was a dirty, dark, seedy place that catered to all types of degenerates. This new place is somewhere I don't think I even want to check out. They took my favorite old bar and they're raping its corpse.

^ Welcome to my world. And now, after giving the keys to the city to the hipster fuckwads, Bloomberg wants to run for president.

Did you watch that video? You need to so you can see how unspeakably horrible the new bar is. The asshole bartender was actually hand chipping a cube of ice and later burns tea leaves under a glass to give the drink the proper "aroma."

A Bloomberg presidency is almost as ludicrous as electing a man with no achievements and an America hating prick. Oh wait......
I hope Bloomberg spends a bajillion fucking dollars on it. I also wish they'd bend him over a desk in Virginia and every gun owner there fucked him hard up the ass.

I did now. Didn't have to, though, b/c it's exactly the same thing I've seen happen all across this damn city over the last 20 years. And now that prick thinks he can homogenize the whole friggen country. NOT Happening.

Not exactly Chilkoot's, is it?

Fuck no. Then again, I haven't been to Koot's in years.

Beer Fest was great last night. Didn't get any numbers but there were lots of nice, cute chicks to mingle with. Had one of those weird moments where I saw a hot chick I recognized, but couldn't remember her name or anything else to the point where I felt comfortable saying hello, so I just gave her a few glances. She stared me down and shook her booty around and then turned around gave her boyfriend a big smooch. It's like she was trying to make me feel bad, or something? I really don't get chicks sometimes.

Anyway, the Beer Fest used to give out commemorative glasses every year with their logo and the year. Apparently they switched to plastic glasses as of last year. They sucked, so instead of saving them, we all tossed ours at the end of the night. They claimed that people were taking their glasses and smashing them on buildings downtown, but it's pretty obvious that they switched over just to be fucking cheapskates.

Something else weird from last night... I just now remembered there was a guy walking around with a dick drawn on his face with jizz dripping into his mouth.

Anyway, this was probably my favorite beer from last night. Irish Death. Full Sail (my favorite brewery) had a good Hefeweizen too.

I've been drinking for the past 12 Horus.

Drankeded a whole box of cheap, Black Box Chardonnay and passed out on the couch. Now it's after midnight and I'm all awake.

Fucking beer in any amount makes me ill these days. Wakes me up and gives me the jimmy legs. Next day I'm shit.

Going vodka and Gatorade tonight.

Crown Royal and diet pepsi.

Phyllis Diller and Malibu pk keef

Dillitante.

Not sure what dillitante means and not sure what Horus is.....I guess it was my drunk attempt at spelling hours.

Had a pint of local craft beer an hour before bed last night and then was up peeing a couple times during the night. Got to stick to scotch. Fuck, I'm old. Meh.

Combine the two and you have no real knowledge of an Egyptian god. Your mileage may vary.

That's why I pretty much stick to vodka or Brandy.

Beer combined with a good opiate might just be the perfect buzz. I went with Full Sail IPA tonight. I know we've discussed IPA's being the new hipster beer, but pretty much everything Full Sail brews is awesome. I got a six pack of IPA and a six pack of their awesome winter ale, Full Sail Wassail.

I just lost a good 6-8 hours of my life. Still have a nice buzz going though.

Just beer tonight fuckers. Lots of them though.

Just got snookered into buying the Brown Jugs liquor store (local liquor store) version of Tito's vodka because they put them right next to each other on the shelf on purpose. They also had a Gray's Peak vodka which the dude said was "our version of the Kirkland brand version of Grey Goose."

I'm on vodka tonight.....Titos is good stuff. I'm on the cheaper stuff tonight though. I'm swilling a few beers as well and split a joint with my neighbor....so I'm alright.

Wait, Kirkland makes Vodka now? Haven't been to a Costco in a decade since the ex split.

Costco has great vodka. I seem to recall that there are two varieties. One is supposed to basically be Grey Goose and the other is a premium American vodka, but I'm not sure what the original label is that they're rebranding.

I buy maybe 3 things at Costco: Vodka, Prime cuts of beef (can't find these easily elsewhere) and bulk packages of vacuum sealer bags for fishing season.
