What are you drinking tonight?

[sobo]

Congrats brother, this is huge, keep up the good work and please say a prayer for the rest of us who would like to say the same thing.

You'll need all the prayers you can get in that regard, Bill!

True story Sobo. Was not going to drink tonight but failed. Same as yesterday, etc etc. I did get the grill fired up and made a decent meal though, so there is that

Having my usual, Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whisky.

Unfortunately I missed my son's wedding back at the end of April. I bought him a bottle of Redbreast 12, then found out that he doesn't drink Irish much and all his compadres drink bourbon; so, I decided to keep the 'good stuff' for myself, and I'll get him and his bride something more to their liking when I see them.

Haven't decided yet. It's between a root beer float with Dads' Root Beer, or a double shot of Lagavulin.
The float is considerably cheaper and, in my opinion almost as good.

 

[Hooyah DeepSea]

@Hybrid Slave , Well, if the root beer float is as good, or nearly so, as a renowned single malt at this particular time . . . then I'd opt for the float. Enjoy and at the same time save the single malt for a more appropriate time. (I.E. don't waste good booze!!)

You know, I've always felt the same way until recently when a brother-in-law with whom I was enjoying same said Lagavulin suggested to me to not wait too, too, long for those special occasions. Coincidentally, it was the evening before the nieces' wedding. He had some sound reasons behind the suggestion and it got me to thinking about conscientiously taking more time and occasions to celebrate and be grateful for what I have.

Or it could be a fancy philosophical way of finding a way to spoil myself more. But, I think you're right, and to over indulge causes one to take good things for granted.

There seems to be so much of that going around in this wonderful land of plenty of ours nowadays.
Thanks and BZ

Another one to put on my test drive list. When I'm looking for smooth yet flavorful Irish Whiskys always top the list. If I'm not mistaken they have been making it longer than anyone else.

 

[Hooyah DeepSea]

Tullamore D.E.W. always makes it in the top ten list of Irish whiskeys, due to its smoothness and quality, and a decent pricetag. I've been drinking it since the late '70's, and for a time in the mid '90's, it was not available (for some unknown reason) so a friend had a bottle sent to me all the way from Australia, just to celebrate my retirement from the U.S. Navy. Now that's a friend !!!

I lost a ring (robbed by Asian lady) at the shop today, so I am having double strong Lady Bligh with Safeway brand diet soda.

This sounds like a story worth hearing...

Another wine snob that just has to show off. I bet it's even a March vintage as opposed to Thursday like the rest of us drink.

Wait until I tell the big boss on Monday, he is not going to be happy. From now on, if I am not fired, it will be one item out of the case at a time and my eyes never leave it. Edit: just like I treat the guns:

I thought that's how it was always done. At least, that's the way the jewelers deal with me at the jewelry/watch store. Mebbe it's because how I look...

It's probably how it should be done but I am still learning the ropes.

 

[Hybrid Slave]

Dead Guy Ale from the tap. But the cans are almost as good when icy cold.

It's probly just the hat @sobo, maybe consider something more conservative.
