The Drunk Tank

[Sarah K]

I know nothing about whiskey. It was free, and I am poor!

[Fixer808]

AAAAaaaaaah, well go to town then! I can't possibly scorn someone for accepting free booze. If someone says to me, "Hey, buy you a drink?" or "I got this round." I AIN'T GONNA ARGUE ;D

[ibanez33]

"largest shotglass known to mankind" It probably was just a glass meant to be drank neat. Or you drank with some especially hard partiers, I guess. Biggest "shot" I ever had was a Jagerbomb that was ~6oz of Jager and a full can of Rockstar, surprised it didn't give me a heart attack.

[Sarah K]

Lol. Possibly. How do I alcohol? I usually just stick with vodka. But we were at some hipster place. They had approximately 176 beers on tap, and like 15 bottles of liquor.

Oh god... I think I'm still drunk from Friday night. Urgh. Been a useless mess for the past 48 hours.

Wine is the devil.

So I don't want to alarm anyone, but uh... Skype group videos are now free for all. (drunken skype ETS group calls, woo!)

Skimming the website I thought I read a thread titled "The Drunk Tattoo", hehe. Anyways, on the topic of alcohol....I need to give my liver a break.

[Fixer808]

Hell with that. Keep putting the "live" in "liver".

[halloween]

Haha, sure. I think my gut flora is being affected too so I kind of want to get that back to normal....Sigh.

In terms of what I can't drink anymore/had a bad experience with - absinthe. Never again. Just the THOUGHT of having it again makes me feel sick.

The bad experience comes from a big night of drinking followed by 5 straight shots (none of this watering down/melting sugar into/lighting on fire bullshit) of the stuff. I'm feeling sick just thinking of it again.

Anyway, I'm home now and agreed to go for a run tomorrow morning. We're looking at doing around 12-14km. I'm not looking forward to it, but I have run hung I over before.

I love absinthe. One of the top distilleries for it is here where I work in the summer. Too bad its like 65 bucks for a bottle. I pick up a 1.75 L bottle of JD for the same price

Which brand is it?

[Ryan]

Absinthe brand.

[Charmingly Miserable]

Wait, the brand is called Absinthe?

[icecream]

Taboo absinthe. Its made in Canada's only world class distillery.

Wow. I have never heard of it. *Wonders if Total Wine or BevMo carries it*

Here is a link, should be able to find a location. The letters on the bottle glow in the dark, though that's not why you should try it.

That's EXACTLY why I should try it. Sadly, though, it is not carried in the States.

That's too bad. Is it still illegal in some States?

[ophelia_]

Had a few cocktails at lunch and now I'm drunk at work... have a meeting with my boss this afternoon about a payrise. Oops!

[Charmingly Miserable]

Where do you work that you can have cocktails? I need to work with you?

[Ryan]

Yeah where the hell do you work??

[Sarah K]

I can drink at work, too. The only thing in our freezer at work is alcohol.

But like 85% of the time, I'm there alone, so I cant really be bothered.

[ophelia_]

Haha, I had cocktails at a rooftop bar across the road from the office - http://imgur.com/CXS614f
(Pic is from Instagram, and if you feel like stalking there's a bunch of rad pics from the Aus NIN gigs - tessavonrez is my username)

But yeah, we do have afternoon drinks -in office- every Friday

I work in the travel industry, all we do is get drunk.

[Charmingly Miserable]

Screw education, I'm in the wrong secular field!!!!

[ophelia_]

It's even better when you get paid to go overseas and drink.

If you like drinking, and you like sex, you should probably work in travel. Although not in retail (like a travel agency), wholesale is where it's at.

[Sarah K]

Uh, go on...

[Ryan]

Need Beeeeeer.

[ibanez33]

Need Beeeeeer.

ditto. all the stores are closed though

I've had it, it's quite nice.

[icklekitty]

Yeah, I get drunk at work too. Two bottles of wine by my desk right now.

Also, ophelia is in Australian. It's probably written into her contract.
