Help Get My Ass Drunk
« on: June 21, 2009, 07:33:44 pm »
Let me lay some facts on you:

1) I have somehow really gained about 5 pounds since moving to NYC 3 weeks ago.   This sucks, especially if you consider I walk about 12 miles a week now (12 miles more per week than I was walking in Houston).   

2) It isn't just the weight, I feel rounder and look terrible. 

3) I understand that a lot of this has to do with my serious increase in alcohol consumption since moving here.   Before the move, we had really cut back to Fri/Sat only drinking and even then, not heavily at all.   Since we've been here, we've gone back to either 3 beers a nice or a bottle of wine each per night.   Without exception.

4) I kind of like going down to the wine store at night and picking something out and sitting on my terrace.   I'm not sure I want to give that up.

5) It appears that a bottle of red wine is about 500 calories and 3 of the beers we're drinking comes out to about 700 calories.   I'd rather not go back to drinking girly drinks.   

Little help here?

It's time you met my good friend from Scotland, Mr. Talisker. He's only 10 years old (at most bars), but he'll have you smiling right up until you fall off your bar stool.

His country cousin from Bourbon County, Kentucky, Mr. Blanton's, is a delightful companion as well.
Drinking for two.

Wait a second, going back to scotch will save my ass?

Sir, you may be on to something.  Have you any stats to back this up?

Pure alcohol has lots of calories, so you can either get drunk and fat or stay sober and maybe not get fat.

I was just telling you were asking question which had no right answer.

then what's the point of staying sober?

Jebus, will you just go back to drinking Scotch.  Good God man, sack up, before I have to beat some fucking sense into.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I have no problem with that at all.  I didn't realize scotch would be that beneficial.   Shit, that's all someone had to say.

We did singlemalts for 6 years, I can go back no problemo.

I'll be goddamned.   2 doubles of singlemalt is only 413 calories. 

We have a winner.  I take back all the shitty things I said about everyone here.

Not sure if these count as girly drinks, but they are the only ones I consistently like:

Apple Martini (235cal)
Midori Sour (220 cal)

Those are the very epitome of girly drinks.

It is not possible to find a girlier drink than an apple martini.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.
