/me kills a few hundred more brain cells with another glass of wine.

Slightly off-topic but...

For some reason I've started drinking insane amounts of water. Will I grow out of this habit or am I stuck with it?

More on-topic... anyone ever seen Withnail and I?

Drinking water is good for you.

Yes I've seen it and it's great!

I am a social drinker -- two to three Smirnoff Ice or Skyy Blue a week when I go night clubbing.

And I usually go night clubbing only once a week -- usually Saturday nights.

I love wine, but that is rare, that I drink any.

smirnoff ice

I have been drinking too much lately. I'm still trying to get over the death of my friend. I didn't think it would take this long

Dissident, here's to you guy.

I'm having my bottle of wine tomight, fairly near the end.

The Mad Monk · January 19, 2003, 05:29

If I open bottle of wine, it usually takes me a week to finish it. I open a bottle of wine maybe three times a year.

Other than that, I have an assortment of brandies and whiskeys (mostly scotch), and I enjoy a glass every week or so.

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 05:31

Pour one MM, Matt Higs thinks I shouldn't drink alone.

The Mad Monk · January 19, 2003, 05:34

I'll do so when I get home

I'm at work now.

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 05:39

Yah I thought of that after I posted.

How much longer you got?

The Mad Monk · January 19, 2003, 05:47

Well, it was to be 07:00, but they're having trouble with one of the batches, so I'll be here through 11:00.

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 05:52

bummer

DRoseDARs · January 19, 2003, 05:53

Zip. Zilch. Nada.

The only alcohol I get in my system is either from the touch of red wine my mom adds to her spagetti sauce or the brandy we use to flame kessari cheese to make saganaki. Mmmm...flaming cholesterol... *drool*

Asher · January 19, 2003, 05:53

Strangely enough I drank far more back in high school than I do now when I'm legal.

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 05:57

Saganaki?

Asher, that'll change.

Asher · January 19, 2003, 05:59

Why would that change?

I'm in 2nd year college, isn't that where most drinking occurs?

Jon Miller · January 19, 2003, 06:00

I think that is in the US

Greek dish (so says the cookbook the recipe is from). Literally "Flaming Cheese."

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 06:04

MMMMmmmm...flaming cheese...

Asher, trust me, k?

Jon, huh?

I can only guess, but I think he thinks Saganaki is a city in the US. Seems more Japanese to me...

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 06:10

Well, flaming cheese...me thinks it's in Wisconson...Tiilamook perhaps?

Jon Miller · January 19, 2003, 06:14

no

in my observation, the highest ammount of alcohol use was soph year of college

there are spikes afterwards (turn 21, last semester, ect), but it is not constant like the sophmore year

bu those are just my observations (and I would think they would only hold true in the US)

Jon Miler

DRoseDARs · January 19, 2003, 06:17

As long as flaming chese doesn't factor into those observations...

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 06:18

Jon, you were supposed to pick up on the Tillamook reference...

Jon Miller · January 19, 2003, 06:19

have you had their ice cream?

Here, the "turn 21" stuff is "turn 18", which coincided with starting university too for me.

I still drank more when I was 17.

I think it'll stay like that too.

I think Lancer was implying that once you get older you may start drinking more because you become more bitter about life or something, but I don't see myself drinking away my problems...

Jon Miller · January 19, 2003, 06:22

yah, that is why I said I thought that it was only soph in the US (before 21 which was often junior year)

in canada, it would be the year before most turn 18

Jon Miller

Asher · January 19, 2003, 06:23

Most of Canada is 19 for drinking for some odd reason.

I'll never figure out why they chose 19.

Alberta is 18, as are some other provinces (Quebec I think?)

Lancer · January 19, 2003, 06:26

No, the interesting things become matter of fact. The repitition of life takes a break when you occasionally have a few. The important thing is to remember to never have a drink when you need one. Booze can be a demanding ***** if you let her take over.
