seltzer because I ain't going back to that life no how

and all that "great writing" was a stinking bowel movement of the subconscious and frankly I'd rather not stand over a toilet bowl looking at my own shit as I contemplate mortality considering it thus the culmination of innumerable bodily humiliations WHERAS I would have frankly preferred the tubes as well be of glazed porcelain and perhaps even made in Vietnam.

And vomiting on a piece of paper is Not Art, vomiting in a drawer of a nightstand even less.

On that note, the most /lit/ cocktail is the Death in the Afternoon. Absinthe and champagne, drunk by Hemingway and named after one of his novels, and sure to make your alcohol-induced slow suicide much quicker.

Alcohol kills your braincells and organs. You're only allowed to drink it after you've written your magnum opus, otherwise you are just lowering the quality of your own book and literature as a whole.

[Anonymouṡ No.19319808]

The last time we had a drink in a bar was in May and it was earlier than usual, just after four o'clock. He looked tired and thinner but he looked around with a slow smile of pleasure.

"I like bars just after they open for the evening. When the air inside is still cool and clean and everything is shiny and the barkeep is giving himself that last look in the mirror to see if his tie is straight and his hair is smooth. I like the neat bottles on the bar back and the lovely shining glasses and the anticipation. I like to watch the man mix the first one of the evening and put it down on a crisp mat and put the little folded napkin beside it. I like to taste it slowly. The first quiet drink of the evening in a quiet bar — that's wonderful."

I agreed with him.

"Alcohol is like love," he said. "The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl's clothes off."

Bond insisted on ordering Leiter's Haig-and-Haig 'on the rocks' and then he looked carefully at the barman.

'A dry martini,' he said. 'One. In a deep champagne goblet.'

'Oui, monsieur.'

'Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?'

'Certainly, monsieur.' The barman seemed pleased with the idea.

'Gosh, that's certainly a drink,' said Leiter.

Bond laughed. 'When I'm... er... concentrating,' he explained, 'I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name.'

He watched carefully as the deep glass became frosted with the pale golden drink, slightly aerated by the bruising of the shaker. He reached for it and took a long sip.

'Excellent,' he said to the barman, 'but if you can get a vodka made with grain instead of potatoes, you will find it still better.'

'Mais n'enculons pas des mouches,' he added in an aside to the barman. The barman grinned.

'That's a vulgar way of saying "we won't split hairs",' explained Bond.

Never really got into mixed drinks. I mostly drink outdoors or in houses, only later in life did I go to bars. So I drank mostly bourbon and later vodka (when I became a real alcoholic).

Most alcoholic drinks are /lit/; it would be easier to say which drinks are *not* /lit/. Of the not /lit/ alcohols, there are wine coolers, hard seltzers, and flavored vodkas.

In terms of the most /lit/ drink, it's hard to go wrong by following Dr Johnson's maxim:

>Claret is the liquor for boys, port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy.

I've had a week version of it made from distilled mead that had milked and then crushed up garden poppies infused into it. It's OK. Very floaty feeling. Wonderful cure for a hangover, especially if taken before going to bed after a night of heavy drinking.

Not something that I lust after though, although in general though I don't find opiates particularly fun or addicting; obviously YMMV.

Not drinking can also be /lit/ if you are otherwise /lit/.

As far as light beer, pounding it like it's some hard alcohol or something is not /lit/, but if you treat it as the equivalent of a small beer or mainly for hydration, it's fine if not particularly worthy of any note.
