I keep dry vermouth around for cooking (and pretending that I make martinis and don't just drink straight vodka when I have people over).

>use mirin a lot for cooking
>like to think I take sips from it
>but don't because I'm too scared of being actually drunk
Who /alcoholweenie/ here?

here is a trick, mix it with something else to mix it that way you are just having a cocktail, then make another but add just a tiny bit of mixer, then oh no you forgot to buy more mixer, well i guess a couple sips from the bottle wont hurt and when you realize you finished it open another one and drink a bit. Its ok because we tell people we didnt drink a whole bottle but just finished an open one

Just had a nice winetasting at a fair last night. The fair was shitty and the chick at the counter was bored af, so at the end i didnt have to pay a penny. Their late harvest cuvée was bomb! Pic related. Also, drink of choice: wine.

Been trying to buy shitty cheap wine lately to cut back on drinking and just have it around for cooking
Got some random $11 Loire white yesterday
Oops I accidentally drank the whole thing

Note to self: buy more calicrap and aussie swill, achieve objectives

>Ok I will just buy a couple bottles for cooking
>Oops I drank an entire bottle
>Oops I opened a second one

I did this exactly two weeks ago. Ended up using about 1/2 cup of wine for my stew, and drinking the rest. Got super fucked up.

Just measure how much you drink and plug it into a blood alcohol calculator.

There's nothing worse than getting drunk off of wine. The worst hangover in my life was from drinking four bottles of that Trader Joe's $2 wine. Fucking awful.

Best trader Joe's wine? I have had the peach flavored, but they are always sold out. Don't like it too dry.

French onion soup is my favorite because I get to drink almost an entire bottle of dry white wine to pass time while watching onions caramelize

that reminds me I should make french onion soup again

you need french blood, I've drank 2L of merlot in an evening before and i only grow stronger

2 Buck Chuck?

Also completely agree. Was playing slap the bag at a party, drank for 30 seconds. Next day was fucking shit. Worse than my first day after drinking alcohol which was a fifth of scotch with my dad as a highschool grad present.

>>7959588
You clearly never had 8 shots of tequila in 3 minutes before leaving the club

>>7960267
Did you have tequila or did you have Cuervo?

>>7960275
Honestly I remember 8 shots but when I woke up the next day I was missing 300 dollars so who knows what I had

>>7960281
Holy fuck man. How much MDMA and opiates did you do before that?

>>7960286
All I remember was getting mad with my friends, binge drinking requila and then lying in the beach with the water dragging me from and back the sand while I laughed like a maniac non stop and couldn't move while watching the sunrise and feeling like I was in heaven so I maybe did drugs, I never got so bad before my friends had to drag me back to the hotel

Sounds like a good time. I got that way recently. Was laughing uncontrollably and biting the air. Like I was actually insane or possessed.

That's what my not-nearly-as-drunk buddies said anyway. I was pounding beers and crown royal.

I don't know why you would voluntarily opt to get drunk on wine as opposed to spirits, or even piss beer. It's more expensive – even the cheapest wine that tastes like shit – and the sugar and carbs make it a chore to drink, and even the sensation of being drunk is tempered by feeling like shit when you've barely had anything yet.

>>7960215
Yeah, two buck chuck. The red one has something like 13.5% ABV.
I l drink a fifth of vodka or whiskey with a fair bit of beer nearly every night, but the hangovers that ensue are much less terrible than those you get drinking half that amount of pure alcohol in wine format

>>7960267
You're right, I only drink alone because I'm a degenerate alcoholic. Nice wannabe frat boy brag, though.

>>7960299
Reminds me of the ending of Infinite Jest

>the beach
>at night
What, next you're gonna tell me you were in Mexico?

I read on one of those "science" news articles that even a little bit of alcohol gives you cancer and there are literally no benefits to drinking alcohol

your mum looks better when I'm drunk

so there's that.

This is what I had yesterday (yes I drink on Sundays because I have Mondays off):
I started off with a fairly strong craft beer 8.8% ABV that was hibiscus tea flavored. Better than expected. Very well hidden alcohol taste.
Afterwards I opened and downed a bottle of cheap but very inoffensive Chilean red wine.
Then I had the last bit of bourbon that was leftover in a bottle. And finally almost two cans of weakish lager but I realized in the morning that I hadn't finished the second can.
