Nothing, I'm done drinking. Fucking sucks drinking alone at home almost every night to the point of passing out.

you'll be back

Apple juice

Republican tears

nothing because I'm not an alcoholic

Bourbon on the rocks and beers until the packers win.

Probably a lot more if the 49ers win...

>>4145892
>drinking at all makes you an alcoholic
sure.

A shitty bottle of wine that my girlfriend didn't like, so I guess it's up to me.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED AMIRITE?!?!?! XDXDXDXD

>Tag says $369
Is that a misprint or what the fuck is going on?

>>4145916
Looks like you are already drunk

>>4145916
$3.69. Old pic...I'm paying at least a buck more a bottle now (when I'm lucky enough to find some).

jack honey whiskey and coke

it's my night off and i'm alone but i can't be fucked i'm relaxing like i haven't in weeks

>>4146227

also i'm a serious lightweight...there were probably 2 shots worth in that drink and i've already got numb lips

i don't mind though, i'm a cheap drinker since a decent sized-bottle will last me about a month

I bought myself a Laphroiag 10 year, my first Islay scotch. WOW, I need a few glasses to get used to the peat and smoke

>>4146243
Should've went with Lagavulin 16

soo good

throwin down a bunch of these, pretty decent macro piss.

chugchugchug ^^

Got lucky and found some Bigfoot, been looking for it for almost a year.

And like everything SV makes, it's overly bitter. Bearing through that, it's pretty tasty. Not worth $9 for the 4-pack though. Would pay $1.50/bottle if I actually wanted it.

>>4146322
They only release it once a year and it just hit shelves. This year it moved to 4 packs for the same price as a six =| If you find it too bitter, stash it in a cool dark place for a year and try it again. I've got bottles as old as '97.

I opened a new bottle of Cornelius Applejack, this sort of hipster microdistillery stuff from upstate. It's pink unlike all the pictures I found on the internet. I was expecting something like a calvados but this is just weird. It has kind of a fake berry smell and bubblegum aftertaste. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with it?

>>4146322
>>4146330

Dang, I forgot that I wanted to go get some of this. Have you guys tried the Narwhal? I don't know if it's still being sold or if it's a seasonal.

>>4146337
Applejack and Calvados are two very different animals.

>>4146351
It's new and seasonal. I missed the release and haven't gone out of my way to find some. Too many good imperial stouts out there.

>>4146365

Fuck, so it's probably not on shelves? And I agree, I just wanted to give it a try.

I might venture out to try to nab some Bigfoot to cellar.

>>4146360

I know that traditional applejack is freeze distilled, but this stuff is supposed to be column/pot distilled. Which, I gather, is what they use in France. When you say they are different, do you mean freeze distilled applejack or is that not something that people do anymore?

In any case, what do you do with this stuff? It would be a shame for this bottle to gather dust, the label says it has 60 pounds of apples inside...

>>4146374
Hard to say. I think it hit shelves late Oct/early Nov in most markets.

I'm having a rather cheap red wine (49 sek) that was pretty good.

On a ralted note, how do you store open bottles? in the refridgerator?

>>4146381
Calvados has strict laws regarding its production and aging. It's distilled in such a way to preserve as much apple character as possible.

Applejack is essentially apple eau de vie. I mean, theoretically you could find some generic apple brandy that rivals Calvados in quality, but the bar is set so much lower it's a real crapshoot.

Hendricks with 2 slices of cucumber and a splash of tonic

>>4146381
Also, if it is true freeze distilled applejack I'd be somewhat wary of small and inexperienced producers. Freeze distillation more than any other method tends to concentrate undesirable elements such as methanol and fusel alcohols. I love an eisbock, but I only get freeze distillates from old and reputable breweries/distilleries.

In short, just don't drink too much if it's frozen applejack or you might have a killer hangover.

is dat some MONGOL vodka OP?

that shit is fuking sweet and delicious

>>4146440

I don't think it's actually freeze distilled, but the weird bubblegum smell really puts me off this stuff. It's probably just oak interacting with the flavor of the apple skins, but this is 2hip4me. Definitely not drinking a second glass. I'll probably just have some wine instead.

Pic related. First time having it, so damn good. Heated for like....12 seconds in a microwave in a snifter.

grape kool-aid
i work tomorrow

>>4146391
guys?

I'm going to bed soon, what do I do with the leftover wine? :(

>>4146719
Fridge. Prevent that oxidation!

a double shot of everclear in a glass of grapejuice

>>4146719
Drink it.

>>4146738
we'll see if it's empty before bedtime.. it's like 1/3 left and i've been drinking it for like 8 hours. I'm super slow. Maybe that's why I don't feel anything. Nothing.
>>4146726
thank you. I usually store them there but I haven't really looked up proper ways to store them

>>4146781
That'd be why you aren't feeling anything alright. Slam the rest of it if you want to feel anything.

>>4146781
How have you been drinking one bottle of wine for 8 hours? I went through a bottle in an hour tonight. I feel great.

>>4146794
Savoring it versus trying to get drunk is my bet.

>>4146794
I don't know. Time just passed by and interwebs have kept me busy

>>4146800
I don't savor cheap wine. I bought it at a low price for a reason.

>>4146809
this wine is pretty good though. I'm actually surprised.
it's called Campoz de Luz Estate Wine 2011 from Spain. it says Garancha Old Wine too whatever that means.

>>4146809
I assumed it was cheap given the fact that you slammed it in an hour.

>>4143633
Colonel E H Taylor bourbon and Laphroig 10 year cask strength. It is an AWESOME evening.

>>4146831
Right on, enjoy and stay hydrated.

>>4146838
Best whisk(e)y night I've had in a long time. No intention of ruining it.

Talk about an exercise in contrasts though.
