Gonna get drunk, right about.... now.

cmyk · #1 08-18-2012, 02:08 AM

It's been one hell of a year, work wise. Pulling all-nighter marathons while sprinting at the same time.

For the first time since Feb, 2011, I have entered the clearing, and I think I shall have myself a little celebration.

Rum & Coke for starters. Time to get shitfaced for a change and stop and smell the vomit.

ahhhhh...

Cheers!

Punch C57 on the jukebox and park a quarter to reserve the next table. You deserve it and the next round's on me.

Lust4Life · #3 08-18-2012, 05:05 AM

Sounds like a good plan, have one for me.

Spud · #4 08-18-2012, 09:27 AM

Well, I feel I need to step in here and add a comment about responsible drinking...

It is highly overrated.

EmilyG · #5 08-18-2012, 09:31 AM

Drink a toast to the Dope!

MeanOldLady · #6 08-18-2012, 10:43 AM

Must... not... comment on... drink choice!

Seriously now, happy hangover!

Personally, I'd be pounding jagerbombs by the pint. But rum and cokes (rums and coke? rums and cokes?) are an American tradition. Why do you hate America?

MeanOldLady · #8 08-18-2012, 01:19 PM

Because if I don't, they'll revoke my librul card, and I need that to get discounts on organic milk at the co-op! I'd have been drinking Jameson by the liter, but then again, I'm a lush.

All I had in the house was some old Captain's left over from christmas, and not nearly enough tequila.

Anyhow, mission accomplished.

Where's the Tylenol?

You should try some... inspiration and then make your own CMYK cocktail. You'll have to figure out the specific densities, but something like... blue curacao, cranberry juice, banana schnapps (can't think of anything yellow unless you count beer), and Jägermeister. Sounds... disgusting, but I'm sure you can do better.

IANAD, but next time take ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) instead.

Yeah, never get tylenol near a drinking session. IANAD, but if I understand correctly, tylenol is toxic to the liver if the liver is dealing with alcohol at the same time.

Autolycus · #15 08-19-2012, 07:30 AM

Sounds like it's time to get drunk again! You're already way behind me! Woooooo Sunday night! ....Oh shit it's Sunday!! Work tomorrow. Errrr, send me some of that tylenol my way willya?

If you start right now, the hangover might wear off by Monday morning.

About the only thing that would hurt more is slipping rum into the OPs morning coffee. Or worse, mixing a rum/coke behind them and waving it under-nose with a cheerful "....hey, does this smell funny to you...?"

Siam Sam · #19 08-19-2012, 09:44 AM

I'm about to crack open my new fifth of Bombay Sapphire gin. Will drink a G&T for you.

olivesmarch4th · #20 08-19-2012, 10:32 AM

You all are inspiring me to drink. I have rum but no coke. Anything else go well with rum? Actually it's a pretty damn good rum, I could just drink it straight.

ETA: I have margarita mix but no tequila. Anyone ever tried rum and margarita mix?

JackieLikesVariety · #21 08-19-2012, 10:54 AM

it's Sunday and I plan to put off any drinking until after noon.

because I'm good like that. *smug*

Rum goes exceedingly well with fruit juices of all kinds. I can't recall if I've had it with margarita mix, but I like the way you're thinking...

Cat Whisperer · #23 08-19-2012, 01:17 PM

I'm gonna mess it up, but I liked the "last poster" and thread title combo - "Gonna get drunk, right about....now" and WhyNot.

Any juice or powdered drink mix along with ice in a blender.

Bonus points if whatever color the drink turns out to be makes you say. "Oh...! Pretty!"

Oh Jesus Christ...

Squeeze in some lime and ice, and if you must, maybe some simple syrup.

Hey, now! Just because I like fruity drinks doesn't mean I can't take it straight. Straight tequila is my favorite, though, and I don't have any tequila.

MPB in Salt Lake · #27 08-19-2012, 03:16 PM

If you don't have any Coke, you probably also are out of ginger ale, but rum & ginger (over ice, maybe a twist of lime) is the World's Finest Cocktail, at least as far as drinks mixed with carbonated soft-drinks go.

(Try Vernors or Reed's ginger ale/brew for optimum results, but Canada Dry is also perfectly fine)

Herra Dura, sipped neat. Mmmm. I don't have any either, but since me and a friend put away a whole bottle between us the other day, I guess I don't need any today.

Yup, you can't go wrong with a Boston Coolah!

My liver fell off!

Jaledin · #31 08-19-2012, 07:11 PM

Damn I'm jealous. Haven't even had a sip of whiskey for two or three weeks and it's a nice day and four fine examples of West-coast breasts in the pool. Now I'm getting too excited, not helped by finding Grados in my shoulder bag to listen to real up-tempo chicken pickin by Danny Gatton.

Summer drinking! Some are home, some are not! Do it! Get to the chopper! Run! Drink for the temporarily indigent! Drink out of a bag and into it.

A customer in a local liquor store chain asked me if anything went with rum besides coke. I offered ginger ale (Canada Dry probably, gotta go to specialty places for Vernor's). He acted like I had two heads. His loss. I don't really like rum and coke too much, too saccharine. A Cuba Libre is somehow better, rum+coke+a little lime juice.
