The snow here is driving me to drink...what's your favorite adult beverage?

[Iwantmysegaback]

Looks like another 12+ inches of snow again and I'm loosing my mine over here in New England so I'm making myself a nice coacktail.

Mine is a nice Long Island tea . Small jigger of vodka, white rum, gin, tequila and triple sec. Fill rest with sour mix then top with a splash of coke and a lemon wedge.

Always looking for others to try. What's yours?


Ps. A jigger is a bartender tool used for measureing booze. The little side is .75 ounces and the big side is 1.25 .

[Kugyince]

The large side is called the jigger, the small side is the pony.

Anyways, I use to drink a lot of scotch but it just doesn't sit as well as it use to.

Favorite beer:
Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout

Favorite wine:
Hummingbird Hill Apple Wine

Favorite highball:
Vodka and cranberry

Not really a cocktail fan.

A good cape coder is hard to beat in the summer.

[ZedIsDead]

Yeah, I can't stand being outside for any real amount of time right now. It's just too cold here in CT.

As for drinks, I typically only drink beer. I will occasionally mix something with vodka, but I just can't drink things like whiskey. I mostly drink Newcastle and Yuengling, but there are a ton of regional beers that I've tried on my travels that are better.

[samejamesbond]

I primarily drink one thing, Vodka.

Personal brand is Russian Standard. Imperia especially.

[Iwantmysegaback]

I keep my Kalashnikov close by. My favorite gun. The first time I took it to the gun range I always heard the reliability rumors so I pulled the bolt back, put a hand full of dirt in it and loaded it.

The damn thing worked.

[Slime Slayer]

Drinkin my case of cheap beer as usual.

[Iwantmysegaback]

Ewwwwwww but whatever floats your boat

[Tails]

I don't drink.

[Slime Slayer]

Lucky.

[Dudebro]

I don't drink really but when I do I just drink shots of vodka to get drunk quicker. I'm from NE though and my grandmother used to say jigger all the time. Anything she couldn't remember the name for atm was a jigger. Of course she said it more like jigga so we got a kick out of it. "dudebro go grab me that jigga with the long handle in the top drawer" answering with "jigga what?" never got old.

[RU Joe]

Ever - lovin' sweet mama, by all that is good and worthy I'm - a - tellin' you now THIS (http://jjbeancoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/Blend_Rail.png)

[Razeluxe]

White Russian.

Vodka, Kahlúa, and cream.

The Dude abides.

[Barra]

Depends if I'm aiming to get drunk, or just have a nice drink.

If I'm getting drunk - anything. No literally, anything. Usually starts with a dozen or so cheap beers and then some shots.

Otherwise a nice pilsner or bock usually tickles my fancy:

[Alora Dana]

Coke or Pepsi with a half of Jack Daniels or Vodka for a taste.

[Ballas]

Brandy and Coke or beer.

Hard for me to imagine the cols, I did a 21km race today in 35'C

[Kugyince]

Hard for me to imagine the cols, I did a 21km race today in 35'C

Today's high: -15'C
Today's low: -29'C

Just imagine how fun that is!

[CaptainJivePants]

Mostly beer. Labatt Blue is always stocked at our place for pisswater, but my favorite, usually fairly available, cold weather beers include: Founder's Breakfast Stout, New Holland Dragon's Milk, Ballast Point Victory at Sea (in 6-packs now!), and the basic porters from Bell's, Great Lake's (Edmund Fitzgerald), Boulevard, and Smuttynose.

Other than beer: Vodka on the rocks, with or without olives.

[drworm75]

I've got my copper mug of El Burro by my side this evening. It's a better summer beverage, but work has been closed tomorrow. I couldn't resist! (A sheet of ice and less then an inch of a snow/sleet mix has brought my fair city to a standstill.)

Typically, I'll go for beer. Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat is one of my favorites.

[Slime Slayer]

Man did we ever get dumped on here. Was forecasted for 15 cm and we got 70. Going on 3rd day being snowbound, no snow plows spotted anywhere near me, no internet, running low on smokes... Shit sucks. But luckily by the grace of God we didn't loose power, we'd be in a heap of trouble if we did.

[Dudebro]

I've lived here for almost four decades and I think I'm finally sick of snow. I think I wanna move a bit south, just far enough for people to panic over an inch or two of light snow.

[Kugyince]

Wasn't it last year that you told me to stop crying over snow?

El Burro? Not sure I'm familiar with that one. Please, do tell.

[Dudebro]

I dunno maybe and I'll do it again if you start crying about it now.

[Iwantmysegaback]

I wonder if thats like a Moscow Mule? When I think of Copper Mugs those come to mind.

[drworm75]

You got the idea. Take a Moscow Mule, replace Vodka with Tequila, and a bit of simple syrup and 2 dashes of bitters. I like the Moscow Mule a great deal too!

If it counts, last night here in Georgia there was panic yesterday just because it rained and the temps were forecast to dropped below freezing overnight.

[Dudebro]

Georgia is a bit too deep south for me but you're on the right track.

[CrispyChicken]

It was -20 (with wind chill) yesterday here on Long Island. It physically hurt to be outside for longer than 3 minutes.

Im drinking this:

I've never seen a storm like this in my life, I spent about 4 hours shovelling our driveway, only to find out the storm killed my car. Something is seized up in there, I just hope it's not a total write off.

[Iwantmysegaback]

Is it bad that North Carolina got 10 to 12 inches and they declared a state of emergency, and then i thought "you sissy"

Keep in mind I plan on retiring somewhere on the Outer Banks.

love it there but I rely like my Tassachusetts....except for the taxes...

and the constant road construction...

In case anyone is curious, I did NOT need a new car.:snicker:

The situation was weird, I shoveled 95% of my driveway, and then turned on my car to warm it up in anticipation of blue skies, Barthy Burgers, and girls..

She fired up ok, but as I was shoveling the little bit left, she sounded like a robot slowly powering down. The struggle was was getting more intense, so I went and turned it off, it would not start again.

Lights,radio,gui.. all normal, but not a sound from the car.

Got a new battery delivered by a relative of the wife today, installed it, tried turning it on a dozen times, and after giving up, said fuck it one more try, it turned over and is purring like a kitten.

>that feel when you knock on a neighbors door who you never met before door and ask for a ride to the store to get smokes

[Seahawk]

This is dumb. It's 10 degrees outside. The lake by my apartment is freezing over. The heater unit will not turn off (set at 64) and I can only imagine what a nice electric bill I'll get this month.

Go away winter.

[Tails]

-9 here with -25 windchill.

[itsthinking]

A lot of vodka drinkers in here. My all time favorite is Jameson Irish Whiskey mixed 50/50 with Coke Zero.

[Dudebro]

I'm only a vodka drinker because I think 99% of alcohol tastes like crap. Vodka is easier to take a shot and forget about.

We've had 16 feet of snow fall here over the last 2 months, it's a nightmare. One of the worst days of my life happened last week, my 2 year old daughter had a very high fever and was behaving oddly, just not being all too responsive and stuff like that, just constant moaning and crying. The feeling of paranoia that you kid is going to die and there is fuck all you can do about it because there is 4 feet of snow covering the entire 15 Km route to the hospital is not one I care to experience again.

[krehztim]

Sorry to hear about your daughter with the high fever. My son used to spike really high fevers (104 F) when he was 1-3 years old. One was so bad it turned into a seizure, he was totally unresponsive, and it sucks. Good news is they usually grow out of it. He stopped the crazy spikes when he was probably 4. Good luck...

[Kugyince]

Yeah, kids do that. Freaks out new parents all the time. You just do the combo; Children's Motrin, wait two hours, Children's Tylenol, wait two hours, repeat.

[Slime Slayer]

...and to top it off, she got sick while she was spending her first 2 days alone with dadda. I gave her her breakfast and went out for a quick smoke, (I could see her through the window, so I wasn't being completely negligent) when I came back in she was just polishing off a small cup of milk that had been sitting out under the heat pump all night. I think that might have been what made her sick. Also, I brought her to this indoor kids play place that day too, so that could be where she picked it up. Anyway after 1 day of gearing up, 2 days of full blast sickness, and 2 days of recovery time, she's back to normal.

[Kugyince]

Yep, children are cesspools of filth and disease.

[Slime Slayer]

Yeah, kids be gross. I think were done with that play place, I'm not too confident in how well they keep it clean.
