I Drank Away Memorial Day So I'm A Little Late (Mothermeatloaf W/O)
Jun 04 '05
The Bottom Line Don't you wish your girlfriend was HOT like me?
So, I probably would have joined this write off a little sooner if I was sober...I blame it on the letters on the keyboard switching places.
1. What beers/wines/spirits do you currently have in your fridge or cooler, in your cellar, or on your shelf?
I tend not to drink at home much, but I do have Vodka, Creme de Cacao and Creme de Menthe (add milk and Voila! instant grasshoppers!). Last night my friends and I had a huge bash to celebrate my promotion and I still have tons of beer left over from that, my favorite of the bunch is Pyramid Hefeweizen, locally brewed here in the PacNorWest.
2. What b/w/s is widely purchased that you simply cannot understand?
Well, if there's alcoholic content involved, I simply cannot fathom not drinking it! Although, I have to say I'm no huge fan of whiskey.
3. What is your favorite food accompaniment?
Mmm, if I'm at a bar or such nothing beats fried mushroom or double loaded nachos, but after a great night of drinking and dancing a stack of strawberry pancakes from IHOP hits the spot!
4. To which music to you prefer to drink?
That all depends on the environment. Bars are great for rock and roll, old and new. There's no better music to my ears at a baseball game than the crack of a home run (grand slam even better!) and I love to dance to anything from techo to R&B to country and pop as well.
5. Ever do anything (anyone) you regret after a "tough night" at the cups? Care to elaborate?
Hehe. Funny, now that you mention it...
I actually couldn't think of anything, but then a little drunken flashback came to mind...
Right after I decided to leave my husband my best friend (and now roommate) Joe took me out clubbing and partying and this was also the first night I met his new boyfriend. After a long night of some much needed alcohol, we took a cab home, I stumbled out, lost my balance, fell down in a rainy Seattle puddle and drug Joe's boyfriend down with me! Whoops. Thankfully he never held that against me and we're all great friends to this day. :)
6. Do you overindulge?
What's overindulgence? Is that possible?
Actually, I usually don't get too stupidly drunk unless it's a special occasion. Usually just a couple drinks will loosen me up to dance like a maniac and I'm happy. :)
7. Describe your personality before and after and evening of imbibing.
Depends on what type of mood I'm in before. Usually it's either super outgoing and bubbly or quiet, taking in the environment and pondering the world. Either way, after a few drinks I become even more friendly, usually hugging people and becoming all touchy feely. I'm a huge flirt to begin with but get a few drinks in me, and watch out!
8. What is your favorite watering-hole? Where is it located?
For the moment there is a great little dance club in Seattle called Neighbors that plays the best dance music. You can usually find me there at least 2 times a month.
9. Who is the person with whom you most enjoy drinking?
Myself, haha. I'm great fun company when I'm drunk. :)
10. From what region of the world does your favorite drink hail?
When you're drunk it doesn't particuarly matter where the drink came from...preferably from a hot guy down the bar.
11. Ever solve the world’s problems while under the influence? If so, what are the answers?
Absolutely! Nuke 'em all!
12. Why do members of the opposite sex seem prettier/more handsome after a few?
The real question is why do members of the same sex get prettier after drinking a few?
13. When drinking alone (c’mon, admit it), what are your most common ruminations?
Rule number 1.: We don't drink alone.
Rule number 2 : We don't talk about drinking alone.
14. There is a movement to abolish natural cork from the necks of even the most prestigious brews/wines/spirits in favor of synthetic stoppers and – heavens – even screw-on caps. Your thoughts?
Eh, no comment.
15. When did you have your first drink and what were the circumstances?
I was less than 2 years old and my dad was stationed on an Army base in Bremen, Germany and they always threw parties, so one day I mistakenly (was that convincing?) picked up a beer bottle (or two...or 5) and fell in love. Funny how I didn't touch beer for about 20 years after that. The moment was beautifully captured in a black and white photo and submitted in my high school yearbook under "Baby Photos" amidst all my classmates "glamourous" baby pics.
16. Gin - delicious or repugnant?
Hmm, I'll order one next time I'm out and let you know...
17. Ever blackout or become violently ill as a result of an evening of imbibing? Learn your lesson?
I'm Irish, I can handle my liquor like no other!
I actually have a Einstein-like sharp memory of everything that happens while I'm drunk. That can be a curse or a blessing depending on the situation. (See #5!)
18. You're an 82 year old Eskimo. You've just been put on an ice floe and pushed out to sea. You were given the opportunity to pack a cooler with one bottle of beer, one bottle of wine, and one bottle of spirits for your final voyage. What did you bring?
Pyramid Hefewiezen, a White Zin, and some flavored rum.
19. What is your best friend's drink of choice? Can you dig it?
Long Island. Heck, yeah...that's my favorite island! And it reminds me of my favorite movie line ever:
This doesn't taste like iced tea.
It's from Long Island. (Cruel Intentions)
My favorites are Mai Tai's (with no dark rum), and amaretto sours. And martini's...or anything tropical and blended.
20. Are you more of a celebratory drinker or a melancholy drinker?
Usually celebratory. Hmm, I made it through work today without killing someone...that deserves a drink.
I made it home without being hit by someone else. That deserves a drink.
Oops, someone hit my car...that deserves a drink.
You get the idea.
21. Do you need a drink now?
I think I'm still reeling from the drinks I stopped drinking about 22 hours ago, but there's nothing like the hair of the dog!
And this really wasn't one of the questions asked, but it's pertinent info, so alkies take note. I discovered the cutest little things at the store so I had to buy them: They're wine bottle covers in the shape of Japanese kimonos, so no one notices all the booze you have lying around. :) No, really, they are cute and you're girlfriend will like you when you're drunk a lot more if you buy her these.
Thanks so much to Mothermeatloaf for hosting this great write-off (with some booze in it, as Soren would say) and you can check out the other entries here:
