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. ---

Well, I feel I need to step in here and add a comment about responsible drinking… It is highly overrated. ---

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. ---

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. ---

> [@Jackknifed\_Juggernaut](#): > > 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. ---

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? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gonna-get-drunk-right-about-now/631859.md?page=2)
