I’m drinking Coke. I may switch to tea, although I’m really getting the yawns and may not make it to see Regis in Times Square.
We actually have some brandy in the cupboard, that’s been there for three (or is it four?) NYEs in a row. The first year, it made me so sick, I’m afraid to even look at it!
Happy New Year’s, everyone!
I’m not much of a drinker (though I’ve been known to tie one on on occasion. Tonight I’m going semi wild & crazy…
…DIET MOUNTAIN DEW.
Somebody stop me!
I had a glass of Asti and that was it. I’m sure I’d drink more if I were out and about or at a party, but that’s not the situation this time.
Screw drivers and Champagne 
and this is my first post 
Kelly and I had a very nice Reserve de la Maison Janneau Armagnac after dinner. For midnight she bought us a bottle of domaine Ste Michelle sparkling wine. I’m thinking of mixing up something out of the new Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s and Party Guide.
[The OP: New Year’s Eve: What are you Drinking?]
LOTS. Thanks for inquiring. 
Welcome, Nail Bunny!
A finer batch of screw-balls you’ll never meet!
If you head over to MPSIMS, they’ll introduce you to the goat…
Nope, won’t be getting drunk. Furthur probably will, though.
He’s drinking screwdrivers. I’m on Kahlua & milk. Neither goes particularly well with anything, unless you count ice cream for the Kahlua – in which case, call it a Mudslide.
We’re staying in because the baby-sitter came down with the 'flu. 
At least we don’t have to drive home, though.
Mrs. Furthur
No. Depends on how thirsty I am. Water! WOO!
I’m not a wine / champagne (pronounced “sham-pagg-en”, right? ) conniseur, so dunno if this stuff is any good, but it looked decent…
Saint-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux (2001)
any good, or is it fizzy vinegar?
One bottle of Lindeman’s Kriek Lambic and a six pack of Anchor Steam.
It wasn’t that great. The neighbours opposite were partying pretty hard. Mostly teenagers, and although they were relatively well-behaved and good-natured, they were outside most of the time, and there were lots of cars with pumping sub-woofers, doors slamming, drop-the-clutch takeoffs, yelling, etc. I was tossing and turning until 3am (the extra trains rumbling past much later at night than usual didn’t help any either).
Still, just read your other “Morning After” thread, and I did get off lighter than you. No broken bottles or vomit on the street, so you have my commiserations.
Yes drinking one or two Vodka and Cranberry’s as the bar I’m DJ’ing at. Have to drive about 40 miles home so don’t will not drink too much.
This is the third New Year’s Eve where I’ve been on medication that makes alcohol a no-no, so I’m sitting here with a tall glass of ice water.
I’m drinking waaaay too much champagne.. Currently on the Schramsburg. Will report more tomorrow.
And boy does it show.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale-malted hoppy goodness
Ahhh… all we Yanks see are the shots of the fireworks from The Coathanger - always impressive.
We’re drinking a moderate Spanish - Segura Vuidas Brut Reserva Heredad - a creamy texture and not too bitter. A lovely pewter-adorned bottle as well. I should have picked more of it up.
If you enjoy it, it’s good, MacTech.
That sounded much snottier than I intended. Wine snots are very tiresome. They’re as bad as beer snots, Scotch snots, etc. Their obsession sucks all the joy right outta things.
I’m sipping a delightfully fizzy thing the French would no doubt refuse to recognize as cham-PAG-nee–it’s from (gasps of horror: California–and it suits me fine.
All is good.
I’m snug at home, mellow, willing to believe the next year will likely bring as much good as difficult, so glad for everything I’m blessed with, including all these far-off people called Dopers I’ve had a chance to meet.*
Happy turning of the wheel, all.
Veb
*This isn’t even the cham-PAG-nee talking, which should probably be scary if I bothered to think about it.
Had some coffee with dinner at a local casino. Did some bowling and was home at 8:00 in time to get my picks for Death Pool 2005 in.
Probably have a glass of water just before going to bed.
