Title: LET'S POSITIVE DRINKING.
Post by: Thad on January 27, 2008, 01:33:07 AM
Tonight I went to a bar.

A trendy fucking campus-adjacent bar.

I hate places like that, but it's where my friends were going, and it got me out of the house.

Now, I picked up my ID back in '02 or so.  I was under 21, and the ID says "UNDER 21 UNTIL 10/01/2003" right on it.  (It's also vertical, while over-21 ID's are horizontal.)

The guy checking ID's told me he'd let me in this time but that I need to replace it with an over-21 ID.

That shouldn't be a big deal, but it frankly irritates the shit out of me.

I have a legal ID.  It has my date of birth on it.  It says what day I turned 21, which was over 4 years ago.  It has a hologram, a barcode, the whole nine yards.  It is clearly a legal piece of identification.

Moreover, I have lived here, in this city, for twenty-five years.  I was born here.  I've sure as SHIT been here longer than your goddamn piece of shit eyesore trendy bar, or any of its employees.  Fuck you people for telling me where I am and am not allowed to go in MY town.

And it's not as if I LOOK like I'm 20.  I have a receding hairline so obvious you can see it on my fucking avatar.  No rational, sighted human being would mistake me for a 20-year-old.  Getting carded is cute sometimes, and makes me feel a little better about the tumbleweeds of hair I leave in the shower every morning, but when somebody actually threatens not to let me into a bar it gets a little insulting.

America's drinking age, and enforcement of same, is asinine.  Yeah, all right, this landmass was settled by Puritans; I get it.  Having a beer is immoral.  Certainly the Mormon population of Mesa would agree.

But seriously, you fuckers can piss off.  I was born here.  I live here.  I support the local economy, and right now I'm trying to support it by buying a goddamn beer.  I'm NOT drinking and driving; I pulled up on a bike.  I DON'T look like I'm under 21, I have a legal, state-issued ID explicitly STATING that I'm not, and for crying out loud, what would be the harm if I WERE?

Just let me have a beer in peace.  I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

I've ordered my replacement ID, but I can't say I'm in a huge hurry to go back to that place.  There are plenty of other bars with better beer and better atmosphere that don't treat me like a fucking criminal when I walk in the door.

Not that it sounds like you care much to return to the bar, but did you get his name and contact information for the manager (ideally not from him) or will attempting to revise policy bad policy (or nail someone for breach of not-so-bad policy) not be gratifying enough to justify the effort?

Kind of a terrible sentence, but legible.  I guess.

I think that bouncer might even totally agree with you, Thad, but it's his job to enforce stupid rules.  God knows I've enforced stupid rules and had fights with customers over things I knew were ridiculous and made myself look like a retard, but I didn't get paid to employ reason, I got paid to enforce stupid rules.  And enforce them I did.

Bars are pretty awful, anyway.  Buy your beer at the store.

Funny anecdote: Once, LD (who is young-looking) and I were shopping at Wal-Mart.  When we brought our shit up to the register, the cashier glared at us sternly, as though we'd already done something wrong, and demanded two IDs from each of us.  I was completely confused until I realized that I'd picked up a six-pack of glass-bottled IBC Root Beer.

Yeah, I work like ten feet away from the end of the universe (http://youtube.com/watch?v=mv29068K4_0) but I constantly have to turn away people with Starbucks drinks because of the whole NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK policy.  Neverminding that we don't sell coffee, and that people who are told to throw their drink away or chug it are not exactly inclined to go and buy a whole new drink.

I don't get carded because I don't drink.  But this reminds me that I need to get my drivers license updated.

How lenient are you on the whole outside food policy?  I've been to theaters where I've snuck in whole pizzas and hamburgers.

And as for checking IDs, let me tell you real quick it's a shit job.  When I worked for a convenience store, we checked everybody who looked under the age of 30, just to cover our own ass.  It's a nervous job, really.  You're constantly under pressure by to make sure you don't fuck up by management as well as law enforcement.  Around here, a simple mistake could result in jail time, a $4000 fine, and the loss of the job.  Then you mix in college kids who don't think they should have ID even though they're only 22/23, and the job is pretty demeaning.

  That said, giving you grief over having one that wasn't updated - but not expired, right?  Lots of places don't except expired licenses - is kind of a dick policy.  But then again, it might not have been his choice.

I'm so glad I worked at a store where there were no alcohol or cigarettes to sell.  The only thing we could card for was violent video games, and I only did when the kid was obviously 12 trying to buy the 50 Cent game.

If they manage to get it into the theater without my seeing it, I don't care after that.

I really want to know how people sneak in entire popped bags of Orville Redenbacher popcorn though.  And why.

An entire candy store (and very well-stocked, too) opened about four doors down from the theater a few months after the theater opened. Needless to say, the theater's concession stand has taken a hit.

Up here, the drinking age is 19. Where I'm moving, come autumn (East), it's 18. :lol:

Of course, I assume it's a given that anyone of high school age can drink, if they have even the slightest initiative to do so. I can't say I've taken advantage of my older friends nearly enough, so I shall probably be doing so next week.

Oh, I have no beef with the bouncer.  Hell, he let me in with a warning.  My beef is with the establishment for having an asinine rule like that.  And I KNOW it's the establishment, because nobody else in town has ever pulled that crap on me, but I also know it's probably the result of pressure from city and county law enforcement.  And that all of THAT stems from a very unhealthy national attitude toward alcohol -- hell, we BANNED the shit less than a century ago.

It also bears noting that Sheriff Joe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheriff_joe) has been cracking down, hard, on all sorts of alcohol consumption lately, to remind everyone that he is America's Toughest SheriffTM.

I went because my friends were going and it beat sitting on my ass at home playing Final Fantasy 12 like I'd just done for several hours already.

I would amend your statement that bars are awful to say that TRENDY bars are awful.  THIS was an awful, trendy bar.  However, I am very comfortable at the local breweries.

An Arizona driver's license doesn't expire until your sixty-fifth birthday.

Post by: Lady Duke on January 27, 2008, 12:54:20 PM
That's pretty damn lucky your license doesn't expire so damn fast.  I got mine on my 19th birthday and then had to replace it within (I think) a month of my 21st birthday.  That's a rip and I didn't WANT to pay the $50.

On the bar note, I go to only one bar in the area, and I only ever go there with one friend.  I've been there prolly a dozen times, and I know at least one of the bartenders and she recognizes us every time we come in.  What really sort of annoys me is she always checks my ID even though I'm STILL 21 and it's STILL the same license. 

I know it's a precaution, but it's always embarrassing when I get carded, because I always get looks from the person for about 2 minutes.  They don't WANT to believe that I'm 21.  Like, flip it over and back, it's still the same card, it's blatantly a real ID, deal with it and give it back to me.  Jesus.

That's a fact. Trendy bars and local bars/breweries are like night and day. It's the difference between being able to have fun, drunken conversations with friends or having to wade through an overcrowded joint with shitty music to buy a drink for $10.

Post by: Brentai on January 27, 2008, 01:31:29 PM
Colorado had your ID expire something like a week after your 21st birthday, so yeah that sort of thing got taken care of pretty quickly.  Or should be.  In practice you end up carrying around a paper ID as long as your arm for several months.

Whatever.

All you guys complaining about having to check IDs should work at a bank sometime.  You have to pretty much beat a driver's license, ATM card, birthdate and last three withdrawal amounts out of every damn person you see, with great resistance, while trying to explain that you need to do this so that other people can't take their damn money.  Inevitably 1 out of every 10 rich bitch will say something like "Bank of America doesn't ID me or anything!" and you have to resist the urge to tell them to take their account to BoA, which would suit you perfectly because it would 1) make them go away and 2) end with them being ripped completely the fuck off.

In retrospect it's pretty understandable that I can't hold down any job dealing with customers after going through that one.

Post by: Thad on January 27, 2008, 01:37:18 PM
Banks may ask for multiple forms of ID, but they have never told me I can't use my legal, state-issued ID.

The goddamn airport makes me take off my shoes, put all my liquid in a baggy, and throw out my jelly, but my ID's good enough for THEM.

There's a very great episode of Tony Bourdain's food network show A Cook's Tour titled The Elements of a Great Bar (http://tv-links.cc/documentary/A-Cook-s-Tour.htm) that basically covers my position on bars, except for one thing: dives.  I like a completely shitty bar.  The kind of bar where you're afraid your foot is going to break through the floor.  Where beer tastes like nothing and the vodka tastes like gasoline and meat.  Where, if you're under 28 and you're playing pool, an old man will ALWAYS get up and tell you what you're doing wrong.

Surprisingly, given Oregon's incredibly stringent liquor law enforcement, I've never had problems when I hand a bouncer/bartender my driver's license that still has the big, loud, red UNDER 21 square around my picture. They sometimes look confused for a moment, but then just check the birth and expiration dates and that's that.

Most of the trouble and annoyance I've run into was during the months where ALL of my friends were 21, but I wasn't. There is absolutely nothing to do in Portland after 10pm if you're under 21 - no all ages music venues, and any bar, as well as any place serving hard alcohol has to be completely closed to the under 21s. I've been turned away from brewpubs when going to dinner with friends because they were getting their liquor license. A grocery store cashier once practically interrogated my boyfriend and his roommate when we'd all gone grocery shopping together, because she'd seen me walk in with the two of them and they were buying a six pack. Incredibly frustrating. I mean, I realize they have to check everyone's ID when a group comes to the register, but this was Tuesday afternoon, they were clearly buying enough groceries for a week, and we'd split up immediately after entering the store.

One particularly moronic 7-11 cashier once argued with the roommate over whether his (fairly recent, unexpired) passport was an acceptable form of ID. Because someone is going to fake a fucking federal document so they can buy beer.

There's also a rule, which may or may not be common in other places, that you have to give a phone number and address any time you buy a keg. The OLCC (Portland's alcohol Gestapo) has been known to crash parties and arrest massive numbers of people when someone was foolish enough to buy multiple kegs in the same place, and to give the address at which they were throwing the party.

Double karmic bonus, though: the head of the OLCC was arrested for drunk driving a couple of years ago.

Fucking preach it. I'd rather be somewhere dark, smokey, comparatively quiet, and full of people who pretty much live there. Kind of place I learned to drink in, and it'll always be more comfortable for me.

As opposed to most of the bars close to work, with my all time least favorite being Fluid. Which is all brushed steel and glass and transparent floors with rippling blue lights and, jesus wept, it's like trying to get drunk in the Jetsons bathroom. Wouldn't you know it that's where every other asshole holds their press parties.

Eh, I dunno, even when I was a more active drinker (what Parish called "enough Guinness to float the Mayflower" I countered with "the Irish call that 'breakfast"), I've really prerferred bars or breweries that had good food too.

I mean, I did go to bars just to drunk, get comfortably numb and then stumble home a few times when I was younger, but... it just didn't seem as enjoyable as having a drink with some decent food (or decent bar food, anyhow).

Post by: Brentai on January 28, 2008, 10:06:55 PM
I tend to prefer something somewhere in the middle of "dark wooden smokehouse" and "built by faggots for double price."  A nice clean place with friendly bartenders, no swill in the well and martinis by the God Damned Book.  The kind of place you would think was a midscale restaurant if there were any tables or menus around.

Like Sharkey mentioned, preference is probably a matter of wherever your father took you when you were first learning what alcohol tasted like.

being in a college town, the only bars around here are crowded with belligerent jocks, tight-jeaned floozies (75% of whom are fat), and the sort of person who went to high school here and is still around, but is distinct from me in that they enjoy being there.  the music is so loud that it is impossible to converse, but nobody is dancing.

There's actually a fairly good place a few steps from the front of the office. Rickenbacker's isn't actually a complete damn shithole or anything, but it does have a lot going for it. Primarily: Fat goddamn cat licking the straws and whatever else, a crippled diabetic proprietor who smokes cigars while hooked up to an oxygen tank and who will eventually, inevitably explode. A bunch of signs bearing carny aphorisms, Clark Gable's motorcycle hanging from the ceiling in such a way that it's guaranteed to crush you when the big one hits, good irish coffee, fairly good food, and smoking after nineish because nobody gives a fuck once the normal nine-to-five saps have left downtown. Also, an abundance of Irish guys who are really eager to pick a fight but usually too drunk to stand at that point so you can actually do that three stooges holding-your-hand-on-their-forehead thing while they swing at air. Honestly, I fucking love the place. Especially as a general test of character. I pretty much have a habit of bringing people there and not doing any further drinking with them if they turn out to be put off by any single one of these virtues.

I am exceptionally annoyed that most of the office does their drinking at the sports bar the next door over because it happens to have a jukebox and pool table.

Well, in the case of the juke and billiards-having place there is the slight drawback of dumbass jocks who will try to insinuate (i.e. shove) themselves between you and the bar regardless of whether you're actually seated on a barstool and who seem genuinely shocked when you elbow them in the throat for it. It only takes a couple times before you come to the conclusion that they're a little hazy on the idea that unwanted physical contact invites reciprocal unwanted physical contact regardless of the fact that the initial contactee happens to be wearing glasses. It's an unfortunately frequent misunderstanding and one I'd just as soon avoid, preferring to associate with humans who are a little more clear on the rules.

Also, the neighboring drunks tend to be, for some damn reason, old engineers, who make for infinitely more interesting conversation.

Actually, spot the fuck on. And the ones who were one-starring it sound like exactly the kind of fuckers up with which I will not put. Boffo.

Even the pissy ones are a bit right, though: Norman is kind of a dick, but a harmless character. There's definitely kind of a Jabba's palace sort of vibe around the guy, but I'd keep coming just on the off chance one of the waitresses might strangle him with a chain.

There are some pretty nice bars within stumbling distance of campus, here. And since it's a small liberal arts school with no Greek system or NCAA sports, you don't get the jocks-and-floozies atmosphere that comes with a lot of college bars. Mostly it's a neighborhood crowd, and the worst you have to deal with are the hipsters and the English majors.

There's a vaguely Douglas Adams-themed bar (where by vaguely, I mean solely because it's named The Pub at the End of the Universe (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pub-at-the-end-of-the-universe-portland)) that I love, because they have excellent, fairly cheap beer, good food, and generally laid back atmosphere.

The Lutz (http://www.yelp.com/biz/lutz-tavern-portland#hrid:tl2EyPa9sETYXZrWeBljaA/query:lutz) is a darker and smokier, less hip (or more hip, depending on who you ask and how they quantify hipness) and tends to attract an older crowd. And there's an emeritus math prof who has figured out the algorithm of the video poker machines and buys everyone in the bar a round when he wins a big jackpot.

Portland also has an enjoyable tendency to cross bars with second-run movie theaters. It's something I haven't checked out yet, but plan to soon.

Last time I was there I was sitting next to a mohawked guy with a hand painted studded leather jacket, a dude with a Kid 'n Play fade, and my waitress was Janis Joplin. Rest of the place was just plain fucking full of tempus fugitives. The band was actually doing some kind of fuckup cover of Brazil in allegro, which got ten times better when Jenn started singing along.

Oh, and then there's the Delta Cafe. Hipster-infested hellhole of overpriced novelty drinks (though I have to confess, the cucumber-infused margarita is one of the better pussy drinks I've ever had) and faux-Cajun and soul food that is deeply disappointing to anyone actually from the South (read: me).

It's main selling point is the fact that they serve 40s of PBR in champagne buckets.

Haven't got any Callahan's Crosstime Salloons around here, not that I know of.  A couple places that are trying to be by filling the room with campy old shit.

Recently Abby found a pub downtown that has pulled pork sandwiches, among other stellar bar food.  We were unnervingly, almost upsettingly happy to have found that place.  I like good bar food, but I don't want my bar chef bullshitting himself into thinking he's Ferran Adria.  I do not want to mix beer with a degustation menu and some jerk coming out in a puffy white hat to tell me how I'm supposed to eat my oyster jelly and salmon confit.  Which isn't to say that everything served in a bar has to be meat-in-bread or deep fried; I just want something solid enough and simple enough, and enough of it, to stand up to a Guinness or two.

Portland also has an enjoyable tendency to cross bars with second-run movie theaters. It's something I haven't checked out yet, but plan to soon.
Sounds like it'll be really brilliant or astoundingly crap.  It's the kind of idea that you hope desperately will be great while at the same time being woefully aware that your expectations are probably far beyond reason.

I will not ever understand your town's infatuation with Pabst.

All identification in the county is justifiably vertical for the younglings, horizontal for us lich, and required to be updated @ 21. Lucked out with mine. Obtained at 15, and just before the vertical/horizontal time/space reverse polarity plan was enacted.

If there's one problem with any given bar in these parts, it's that the music is played at the volume level somewhere between steel mill, and hydrogen bomb detonation. Not being gifted with the ability to read lips, I opt for dives. No lines outside, hand stamps, paper wristbands, standing rooms only, or dress shirt clone armies, super thanks. A correlation I've discovered intertwines with the greatest sin any bar can enact; The louder the joint, the harder it becomes to even reach the bar to order a shot.

No. NO. You do not fill to capacity, leave no point clear for quick transactions, wobble about looking busy, and ignore my friend to the point where he must smack you in the face with the twenty for a freakin' tripled priced bottle.

And since it's a small liberal arts school with no Greek system or NCAA sports, you don't get the jocks-and-floozies atmosphere that comes with a lot of college bars. Mostly it's a neighborhood crowd, and the worst you have to deal with are the hipsters and the English majors.

Strange. I'm going to a so-called "liberal arts" school (in that the major selling point is the English Program) and the campus bar is usually chock-a-block with floozies and jocks. Heck, it's pretty much the same crowd as Kazz pointed out in most of the places along the Downtown-University bus route: too loud to talk, too crowded to dance, and there's popped collars and tramp stamps everywhere.

Haven't got any Callahan's Crosstime Salloons around here, not that I know of.  A couple places that are trying to be by filling the room with campy old shit.

Seems like every place around here is like that. Campy old sports memorabilia, campy old mill equipment, campy old railroad signs... The only difference seems to be how well-lit the place is.

Recently Abby found a pub downtown that has pulled pork sandwiches,

Sheehan's?

I just want something solid enough and simple enough, and enough of it, to stand up to a Guinness or two.

Sheehan's.

My school sort of prides itself on being the antithesis of such things.  We're all about hardcore intellectualism, rigorous academics, that bullshit. The only sports teams we have are rugby, soccer and ultimate frisbee, and the fact that the rugby team's pregame chant is a Tennyson quote... well, that should give you an idea.

Plus Portland itself is a very crunchy, too-hip-to-be-cool, anti-jock sort of place.

Portland also has an enjoyable tendency to cross bars with second-run movie theaters. It's something I haven't checked out yet, but plan to soon.
Sounds like it'll be really brilliant or astoundingly crap.  It's the kind of idea that you hope desperately will be great while at the same time being woefully aware that your expectations are probably far beyond reason.

I will not ever understand your town's infatuation with Pabst.

All of my long-since-turned-21 friends solidly endorse the nearest of the theater-bars (called the Bagdad), I'm going myself this weekend, so I'll see what all the fuss is about.

As for Pabst... $1 a pint in a lot of places. That's all I'm sayin'.

Also, the ubiquity of Pabst is redeemed in Portland by the prevalence of microbreweries. Brewpubs abound, and the streets practically run with Rogue and Widmer Brothers, as both companies are based nearby.

So, against my better judgement, I returned to Trendy Downtown Bar tonight, new ID in hand.

And I have to admit, I'm glad I did.

I went with my roomie and his girlfriend.  We biked.  As we were biking back, well, I pulled ahead by about half a block, as per usual.  I got to the light, pushed the button, and waited for them and for the green.  I heard raised voices.  I assumed at first that they were merely drunk and talking loudly, but as they pulled up beside me there was a third guy with them.

So okay.  It turns out that Brad's girlfriend's ex was there at the bar too -- at the next table, no less.  The ex is apparently not comfortable with her being there -- in point of fact, after last week his mom, I am not making this up, texted her on her cell to tell her to stop going there.

So the Fourth Man who had followed us on his bike was a friend of her ex, who was following us to tell her not to come around there anymore.

Now, this would be ludicrous enough if he had asked nicely, but of course he didn't.

She told him, in no uncertain terms, that she will go to whatever bars she wants to.

He turned to Brad and said something to the effect of "Good luck with her, man, she's a piece of work."

And then closed with, "You'd better not come around when I'M there anymore," and took off.

Anyway.  It is frankly one of the most hilarious bits of drama I have ever seen.  She's about ready to file a restraining order over it.  If it were me, I wouldn't go that far, but seriously, a motherfucker DID follow us halfway home and threaten us.

And even during my grandmother's funeral, when you told my relatives that you could see her nipples through her burial dress, I let that slide.  ...But if you think I'm gonna suffer any of your shit with a smile now that we're broken up, you're in for some SERIOUS fucking disappointment!

At Classic's university there are enough bars close enough together such that if you get a shot at each bar you come across, staying only as long as it takes to consume that shot, he can only make it halfway up the main strip into town.

This is meant to be a reflection on the number of bars in close proximity, not on how weak Classic's alcohol tolerance is.

Split-merged into this thread.

I actually did not drink today.  Overindulged on Thursday, suffered a wicked hangover all Friday, have only had one beer since.  (Sidenote: Thursday was an aberration; I'm usually very, very good at pacing myself, keeping track of how much I've had, padding it with water, etc.  My last hangover was six years ago, and also occurred on spring break.)

Roomie appears to have had more than enough for both of us; he got up at 5 this morning to go to the local brewery, which today opened at 6.  He was there until around noon.  As I understand it, he and four or five other guys wound up spending a total of $250, after a 20% discount and several free rounds.

He giggled girlishly for about half an hour after I got home from class a little after noon, then went to bed.  Since then I have only seen him stumble out of his bedroom in boxers a couple of times to get more water.

I'll start with one that I just made up last week that had the potential to be awful but turned out pretty okay:

The Dr. McNinja

1 highball glass, chilled
1/2 glass crushed ice
1 shot vanilla rum
3/4 shot glass sake
Fill remaining glass with Dr. Pepper (I used diet).

Otherwise, I don't drink much (still working on the upstate vinyard wines my wife and I purchased last thanksgiving), and when I do, I'm usually knocking back a glass of wine or a pale ale or something, but if I do order a mixed drink, it's usually an extra dry vodka martini (because I can't stand gin).

...So yesterday, I hung out with Brad and Felipe while they brewed their latest batch (which Brad had named Outstouting, but I suggested Stoutstanding is better and they agreed).

At some point over the evening, Felipe informed us of a truly heinous beverage: Bud Light & Clamato Chelada.

Clamato, as the name implies, is clam + tomato.

I'm going to give that a little bit longer to sink in.

Bud Light + clam juice + tomato juice.  (Also, lime and salt.)

So of course, being idiots men, we had to go down to the gas station and experience this horrific product.  (Felipe lives in a heavily Latino neighborhood, hence the availability; his Mexican brother-in-law professes to actually like the stuff.)  Being less manly idiotic than the others, I only took a sip; they managed to drain their glasses.

The best possible description I can give of the stuff is courtesy of a Google image search for "chelada":

(http://www.corporate-sellout.com/img/chelada.png)

It's true what they say about pictures' and words' relative worth.

(Brad has made that picture the wallpaper on our media computer.)

When I worked at a gas station, the Chelada drink was the most polarizing thing we sold.  People got into arguments over whether it was a good or bad beverage.  A group of people (mostly hispanics, but a few dumb college kids) thought it was the greatest thing ever and bought it on a regular occasion, despite it being close to $4 to purchase.  Others actively sought to steer people away from it, treating it as they would a leper.  There was no middle ground, except for people who just hadn't tried it.

Brentai's I Wanna be the Guy analogy is pretty accurate. The thing about HARD liquor is that it's HARD to drink, especially when you aren't used to it. You can't just gulp down crown royal like it's tap water or milk or something. You have to drink it slowly and let it sit in your mouth for a little bit before slowly letting it go down, otherwise it is going to taste like fire or you're too hammered to care and should call it a night before you poison yourself.

Way back in the beginning, I was developing a taste for spirits and hard liqour, but something* happened in University and now I can't stomach strong alcohol at all.

Also, alcohol practically turns me into a narcoleptic. I'll never increase my capacity, simply because total unconsiousness gets in the way of my consuming more than three or four beers (at most).

Not actually complaining about it, mind you...

Guild's giving off some mixed messages here, but he's right; most people consider it an acquired taste, but some like it the first time.  He and I fall into the latter category; you presumably fall into the former (although it's possible you were just drinking crappy beer).

Course, the first beer MY dad gave ME was a Fat Tire.  Which makes him way cooler than Guild's dad.

Maryland university officials suggest lowering the drinking age. (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-te.md.drink19aug19,0,7237773.story)

This should be a national conversation.  The national drinking age is a gross violation of states' rights (brought to us by the Republican Party, the party of states' rights, naturally), and simply makes underage drinking more dangerous.  I consider these facts to be very, very obvious, and yet I see a surprisingly little amount of debate on the subject -- it's just one of those things where everyone's resigned to think, "Sure, it's fucked up, but there's nothing we can do about it."

In Illinois, if you can demonstrably prove you cannot reach your opened alcohol, you are also let off the hook. An extremely fat man got off because he proved to a judge that there was no physical way for him to acquire his open drink.

Officers in most states are technically limited by what they can search, when, and why. Illinois offers many protections to suitcases, etc., esp. if they are in the trunk. Of course, police officers are often stymied because THEY DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE FUCKING LAWS THEY ARE ENFORCING, AND SO WILL JUST DO WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANT, COLLECTING ILLEGAL/USELESS EVIDENCE.

I personally can't stand the taste of beer.  Partially because I was allergic to it (until my gall bladder surgery  ::D:) and partially because it seriously tastes like piss to me.

If I'm drinking socially, Smirnoff, UV Blue and lemonade or rum and coke (Mt. Dew is pretty good with some spiced rum too).  If I'm drinking to get drunk, well...rum rum rum.  I used to drink whiskey, but after two liters of Jack in an hour or so, fuck that noise now.

I tried it at a winery in Fullerton last month and fell in love (http://www.averybrewing.com/BigBeers/seasonal/kaiser). It's not too malty or very bitter, but it's definitely a slow-drinker, which is a good thing for a beer with over 9% ABV. It's definitely worth hunting down at your BevMo or local equivalent. Oh, and hurry up about it; the beer is seasonal.

At Stage One I sit in the corner and give sagely advice to all that start conversations with me.
But that is always quickly passed over for
Stage Two, where I break into an Irish accent for a reason I can't place.
Which is exactly why I drink myself past that until I hit
Stage Three and start to slur speech too much to keep the accent. I also flirt very blatantly with whichever female I had been most attracted to earlier. I also give the worst advice imaginable, so be careful not to confuse this with
Stage Four, where I'm sitting in a corner, usually half the party is gone (or at least the girl I scared off in stage three) and I'm back to sagely advice.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that this thread doubles as the "hey, post here when you're drunk!" thread.  I mean, I could go back and read through the thread a little but, y'know... effort.

That said, I have three Mike's Hard Lemonades (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike's_Hard_Lemonade_Co.) in me - a 50% increase in inebriative fluidity! - and I am well and highly impaired (an interesting side effect of my being remarkably underweight and too poor to maintain a well-stocked store of spirits).  Not so impaired that it has any sort of detrimental effect on my typing (or my extravagant loquaciousness; indeed, if anything, it only exacerbates it to levels unseen to a more lucid mind) or on my self-delusion of me being one interesting motherfucker, though the former could merely be a side effect of playing FPSes that my computer can only run at frame rates which would reduce lesser men to vomiting and migraines.  Typing with self-inflicted lag, if you will.

Another interesting point seems to be that I am, in fact, a happy drunk.  Either that, I was in a good mood prior to inebriation, or I am an angry and/or sad drunk and, when compounded with my normal levels of ire and/or melancholy, it merely wraps around to the extreme end.  Certainly nothing worth maintaining over the long term - indeed, I seem to be at my best when my rage is focused upon something - but interesting to note nonetheless.

After some contemplation I feel the need to question why, precisely, one always believes that one's state of impairment is a matter which requires deep public scrutiny.  Perhaps, after the destruction of the ego barriers that inebriation provides, selflessness is the first thing to be cast aside.

On a more personal note, I regret that there's no women to grope.  On second thought, no, I don't; doing so would be unseemly and ungentlemanly.  But I suppose I could ask first; even if one is a lech there's no cost involved in being polite about it.

...

I also appear to be a chatty drunk.  Now observe as I return in several hours' time and immediately regret what I hath inscribed upon the vast expanse of the Internet.

For most people, waking up with a splitting headache is called a hangover.  For me, it's called waking up.

Honestly, I think the worst part was waking up every two hours with a dry mouth.  Although I seem to be waking up every two hours normally these days, which is great when you're trying to record a long string of movies on TV but can't afford a TiVo.  When you're trying to get some sleep, though?  Not so much.

dogfish head is an amazing brewery with an annoying habit of trying to make beer too strong.  their barleywine goes beyond awful and their highest content (120minute) ipa is like taking a shot with every sip.

i still love their 60 and 90minute ipas, and they have the second best pumpkin seasonal i've ever had.

i was under the impression they were going for "good beer" not "liquor-tasting garbage that will get you drunk".  high grav is not a problem, but it needs to taste decent if you want to get any props as a good beer/brewery.  that's why only their lower abv beers are really worthwhile.  unlike some strong beers, dogfish can't seem to remove the alcohol taste from their stronger booze.

ipa is just a super hoppy, very bitter beer.  you typically can't taste the alcohol in them.  they do run a bit stronger than your average gas station selection, but that's the case with virtually all decent beers.

Roommate bought it.  Bought only one bottle, which we split among seven people -- everybody got a shot or so.

Not actually sure what it cost but given that the coffee's something like $120 a pound and there was far less than a pound of coffee in there, I'd probably ballpark that bottle in the $20-$50 range.  Like a bottle of decent wine.

Anyway, while you are correct that I would probably not purchase such a thing, I'm not exactly destitute, either.  I'm making a lot less than I'd like to be, but I'm making more than enough to live comfortably.

...I guess on the plus side, it's more incentive for me to support local businesses and buy my beer from my favorite liquor store where they know who I am and treat me with respect.  (Safeway's right across the street from my house, but the liquor store in question is right across the street from where I buy comics and coffee, so I'm in that area at least once a week anyway.)

It's a CYA move on Safeway's part.  If Sheriff Joe's goons arrest me later and find out I'm under 21 and I tell them I bought the booze from Safeway, they can go there and see that Safeway did its job and carded me and got me to sign a thing saying my ID wasn't fake.

...you know what?  If I ever DO get busted for, I don't know, public drunkenness, I'm going to tell the cops that Safeway sold me alcohol when I was obviously intoxicated and did not ask me to present ID or sign anything.

"It tastes like Robitussin" is Brad's universal complaint for pretty much every drink he doesn't like.

There was this one time he ordered a beer and then said it tasted like Robitussin.  I said, "You say that about EVERYTHING."  But then I took a sip and it TOTALLY DID.

("Robitussin" looks fucking weird written out.  I had to double-check that I'd spelled it right because it just looks wrong.)

(Actually, I could USE some Robitussin about now.  I've had a nasty cough for like a month.  At first it was because I was sick, but it's just hanging on.  I think it's because of all the nasty crap in the air.)

I really must say that people who do mean or completely boneheaded things when drunk are people who would want to do those things anyway if there were no hard consequences for doing so. I attribute this to the fact that I am a pretty peaceful and benign person and the few times I`ve gotten REALLY hammered, I never did anything more regretable than clog up a toilet with poop and then make a big and vocal deal about unclogging it.

But that said, I very rarely get hammered because whenever I feel myself getting too drunk, I tend to stop drinking or at least slow down. I don`t really understand people who fail to have this mechanism or level of control and proceed to drink until they have to throwup. It`s always been a very avoidable eventuallity for me, but I guess not everyone is the same.

Rygaron's easy steps to drinking for free at a party:

1) Have a good tolerance (if you don't have this, complete steps 2 and 3b until you do)

2) Find someone with a bottle and offer to go one-for-one with them. If they're a slow drinker, wait until they're talking to people and offer the next shot so they can feel like they'll be manning up.

3a) Wait until they pass out and finish the bottle.

3b) Pass out and have bad things done to you.

I think I might have lost the ability to get drunk.

I've noticed it only recently (see Stush returns for the last time I was intoxicated) but tonight had very serious intentions to and failed. Consuming enough to give some fear of alcohol poisoning (a full fifth of Jack Daniel's, pint of Jim Beam, and countless shots of some horrible flavor of Bacardi) doesn't even make me tipsy.

I don't know if this means I should cut back or go around the world as a mercenary ending wars by challenging the enemy to drinking contests.

So in a move to try and keep me together over the past semester (which failed, BTW! Cheers everyone!) I've been put on Paxil.

Apparently, not only does Paxil do some seriously funky shit with your blood pressure (I needed to be revived with ammonia after a small blood drawing) it completely fucks your tolerance for alcohol. As such, I "tied" a tiny 110lbs. Asian girl when she came by to get drunk with me.

The game ended at about 10 drinks, 1 Beer ("low" content) + 1 Irish Carbomb + 6 shots hard liquor straight + 4 shots hard liquor mixed. I enjoyed the evening pretty well though.

Non-alcoholic, but lately I've been compelled to drink massive amounts of orange juice.  Like, pregnant woman craving pickles compelled.  All I can think of is that somehow I've recently induced some sort of massive Vitamin C deficiency that my body is trying to make up for.

It's especially odd since I normally avoid orange juice on account of my mouth being for some reason particularly susceptible to acids and developing cankers whenever I drink anything citrusy.  And on that note, ow, fuck.  I should probably go find a straw or something.  *glug*

Dragon PhD.).  I still have standards, after all, and I would still not engage in such acts with one Fried Octopus despite his being such a braggart regarding his (and I quote) "dick-sucking lips."  I would, however, engage in virtual gladiatorial combat with such a virtuous individual for the delight of said onlookers, as often are such acts mistaken for desire in onlookers, as evinced by many a prospective author on the Internet.

We did a fairly large amount of drinking at the old boy MAGfest this year and while I actually don't drink that often and when I do, it is usually a beer or two of a craft beer that I am interested in or an old favourite, MAGfest is different and I definately drink there to get drunk and have a good time.

Normally I just do this by drinking large amounts of good beer and this year was no exception with me trying out a sampler from New England based craft brewery Magic Hat as well as my only old stand by I could find in American grocery stores, Smithwicks.

However the real star of the show was the Gibson, a drink recommended by the former literary agent of Bruce Campbell and now author of fake almanacs and minor television personality, John Hodgman. A Gibson for those of you who are not alcoholics or otherwise in the know in terms of classy drinks, is quite simply a normal martini garnished with a cocktail onion rather than with the traditional olive or lemon twist. It really is quite delightful and the oniony flavour is suprisingly present. I find this to be a superior drink for 4 reasons:

1. It has a tasty onion, gin and vermouth flavour
2. Being entirely gin and vermouth, they gets you hammered without beating around the bush to much if that is your goal.
3. They are classy seeming while at the same time shielding you from being thought of as a poser like what would probably happen if you were just having martinis. If anyone says something like, "Nice drink, Hawkeye. Where's Trapper and BJ?" You can simply explain that the occupents of "The Swamp" drank martinis, not Gibsons and then explain the difference, making you seem validly classy and distinguished.
4. Even though they are not a martini, you are still holding a martini glass and can therefore constantly reference the punch line of Homer Simpson's delightful jest, "...so then I stepped out of my wet clothes and into a dry martini." followed by the jolly gaffawing of you and your confederates.

FOLKS

I have discovered a formula that will put you in The Perfect Party State

Arguably the best state period. I have done this three times and it has worked out SWIMMINGLY each.

1) Go for a run
2) Return home, give it maybe an hour
3) Drink some kind of energy drink
4) Take two shots
5) Drink one beer
6) Enjoy having all inhibitions completely removed while being awake enough and energetic enough to be The Best Dude

OPTIONAL:

7) Make an outrageously inappropriate post in the obituary thread in regards to Gary Coleman

Let's say a force user used the force to flick someone in the nuts at a distance, like a more aggressive and concentrated force push.

Would the be good or evil? They are saying evil because it's kicking someone in the nuts. I say Jedi would be fine with it because it's not lethal and fairly harmless.

This debate got very heated. Id like your ideas.

Post by: Brentai on January 12, 2012, 01:27:37 AM
a more aggressive and concentrated force push.

Such a refined technique could be used in much more lethal ways.  A choke, for example.

...

But anyway the morality of the Jedi is pretty clear on this point.  Flicking a person in the nuts is only an evil option if two other options are present that are less damaging, such as not flicking the person in the nuts or giving the person a very fluffy puppy.  If, however, the options are flicking a person in the nuts, not flicking a person in the nuts, or raping the person's very fluffy puppy, then flicking the person in the nuts is considered a neutral option.  If it's a choice between flicking a person in the nuts, raping the person's fluffy puppy, or blowing up The Planet of Fluffy Puppies, then flicking the person in the nuts is considered good and puppy rape is merely neutral.

All Jedi are presented with exactly three options at all times.  This is because of, I don't know, midichlorians or some shit.

All Jedi are presented with exactly three options at all times.  This is because of, I don't know, midichlorians or some shit.

This is what pretty much killed my BioWare audition: the docs they sent me said the user must be presented with exactly three options, at every prompt, laid out good-neutral-evil, and I basically ignored that requirement.  I hadn't played Mass Effect yet so I did't really have that rhythm down, plus I'd been working on an independent RPG (now defunct) where the spec docs explicitly stated that you should NEVER, EVER present a user with a prompt that's just three options clearly delineated as good-neutral-evil.

I later sent in a much better audition mod but by then they'd already filled the spot.

Ah well.  For my next windmill I am going to tilt at audiobook narration.  Once I get my voice back.

90% of bands I have run through this thing have told me to serve one kind of liquor straight.

I did appreciate the mixture for Protokoll, whose guitarist, my old roommate, self-destructed in a spectacular cocaine-fueled blaze:

Oh nice. Only got one that said "Boston Lager"
In fact, I already organize my music by what I drink with it. And these mixed drinks are made with things I have in my fridge/liquor collection.
Sounds like I'm going to have to test these.

Sorry to hear that. I'm personally not willing to intercede in a fight against addiction unless directly asked by either the person in question or by directly related family. Ostensibly because I shouldn't be making that judgement call for a peer, but really because fighting addictions is tough.

Breaks your heart when a guy is practically begging for another drink after saying "This is the last one, I promise" for each drink for the last three drinks.
A "drink" at this party was at least 3oz. of hard liquor over ice. So the guy was engaging in the kind of heavy drinking that could just up and quiet a weaker drinker.

Nothing happened, but... I have been depressed for a few weeks, and it's getting worse, and I think I should do something about it but this whole insurance and finding someone to talk to thing seems really complicated and insurmountable right now.
Title: Re: LET'S POSITIVE DRINKING.
Post by: Lottel on July 25, 2012, 08:29:42 PM
That's why there's the internet. So you can talk to people worldwide and be drunk.
Title: Re: LET'S POSITIVE DRINKING.
Post by: Thad on July 25, 2012, 08:38:16 PM
Drinking alone because you're depressed is a generally bad idea.  If you can't find somebody to talk to at least find something to DO.

Biking used to be my cathartic activity that would invigorate me and clear the cobwebs out.  Can't do it so much right now between my asthma and the fact that it's currently 101 degrees out at 10 PM, but lately I've been putting in 45 minutes a day on a stair machine.  It feels good AND I'm down to the weight on my driver's license AND I can watch old X-Files on Netflix while I do it.

Anecdotally, I think people around these parts get depressed in the summer.  It's hot and it's miserable and you can't so much as leave your house comfortably.  It's rotten and I'm ready for this shit to be over.  (Ideally in a way that involves moving somewhere less miserable to live, but you play the hand you're dealt.)
Title: Re: LET'S POSITIVE DRINKING.
Post by: Miss Cat Ears on July 25, 2012, 08:43:29 PM
Well I was actually drinking with company earlier, so socially instead of because I am depressed.  Like, I'm working on it, I'm just having a hard time.  I'm being told from all sides that I'm just having an existential crisis and I'll get over it which doesn't make me feel any better.

I'm trying to do all the right things. I'm even going to the gym twice a week which is way better than my lifetime average of zero times a year.  I don't know what point I'm trying to make, if any.
Title: Re: LET'S POSITIVE DRINKING.
Post by: Classic on July 25, 2012, 09:01:03 PM
Working out, like most depression mitigating factors can take a while for the "good stuff" to accumulate and start doing its job properly.

If the depression is a recent thing it might help just to talk to someone (preferably a professional, make sure they at least know that you're venting) or write what you're feeling to deal with it more intellectually.

Generally, I do not introduce depressants to try and restore the previous status-quo from a state of depression.

The reason I've not been posting much recently is because I've been in the middle of a lot of personal issues involving my love life and wanted to wait until they were solid enough to comment on to post anything but since last night everything went sour and tonight was one of the most awkward nights of my life due to it, I can proudly inform you that if you are very sick and under the influence of cold medicine at a birthday party of two girls that you've slept with and tried to date another before crashing and burning, do not then drink lots of alcohol because alcohol and cold medicine don't mix and you are left stuck by the cake unable to leave when they both take turns looking at you.
