What are you Drinking?

I have cut out drinking from Sundays thru Thursdays-- not even a beer or glass of wine with dinner.  Sticking to it so far but man does it make the week feel longer.  Will have to make an exception for Thursday this week, of course.

Problem is I have a ton of beer in the fridge and in the "holding area" in the pantry.  And a lot of that needs to be consumed sooner rather than later.  I may host a bottle share Saturday so people can help me drink it.

Cock And Bull Ginger Beer (soft drink) -- hits the spot, very hot with the ginger.

Kroger brand Seltzer Water -- plain, naturally -- since I threw my SodaStream in the trash a year ago!

You did it to protest Israel, didn't you??

I love my Sodastream; just wish I had an endless supply of CO2 ;)

Of course!  I'm dedicated to turning every thread into an anti-Israel tirade.  But really, I did.  And I've been with them since they were Soda-Club back in '98.

I bought some Israeli made 5.56mm ammo a few days ago.  This weekend I'll be sending jewbullets downrange!

How many did you buy, a dozen?  Isn't ammo about $20 a round these days due to preppies hoarding? :D

Supply has increased and I think preppers have started running out of either money or space.  You can find .223/5.56 for as low as a quarter a round. 

I got my Israeli stuff for $.32/round: http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=AIMI556M193&name=Israel+Military+Industries+M193+.223%2f5.56X45+55grn+FMJ+30rd+box&groupid=21

I take it 'preppie' now has a different meaning from what it did when I was a kid.

Tropical - Cerveza Refrescante Canaria Desde 1924.

Not bad. Certainly much better than many can beer offerings.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Bonal, I think it is my favorite French quinquina wine-based aperitif, and as affordable for me as the decent sipping vermouth.

And don't tell me it isn't pleasing to the eye as well as the palate:

Amber Szot cerveza sin filtrar

Basically what it says. Unfiltered amber ale, but with a touch of that fruitiness you get in beers like maibachs.


Chilean beers are very German/Austrian. Lots of things like dunkels around. As I get further south, I'm told the German influence gets pretty strong.
