[WDT] NATIONAL RED WINE DAY[NSFW]

I've never messed with wrapping it, though I know people swear by it. The Texas crutch is a thing for a reason. Glad you're getting into the BBQ thing. The best hobbies are the ones that produce something you can either use, eat, or drink at the end. Plus, BBQ has an incredible history, that goes back to slavery.

 

This sounds a lot like Steel Reserve.
As long as they're cold, they go down like regular beer, so you chug down a few just to get your buzz started.
Next thing you know, you're slurring and stumbling.

I used to drink those all the time back in the RMMB days.
I also used to black out a lot back then, too. Of course, I was often mixing them with pills, so take that as you will.
Still nothing to take lightly.

 

do we get an update on how that went or are you still in a food and/or alcohol coma?

 

I had to drive from Austin to Baton Rouge, and the rental car company couldn't give me another sad Kia bean fart. So they gave me a Dodge Charger that is bright orange.

I drove the 2019 General Lee, listening to an audiobook about Stevie Ray Vaughn, or his music and....highly recommend the experience, minus the four hours of traffic.

 

I spritz mine with coffee every time I add wood. Fixes that problem real quick

 

I’ve smoked enough pot my drinking tolerance has fallen and that’s bad because day drinking.

 

If I start drinking, I can't stop until I go to sleep, that's just the way my brain works. That means I don't day drink, cause if I do, it turns into like 18 beers downed before I go to bed a 9:00. I just can't handle that anymore. I only drink anything about a dozen times a year now. When I do I start around 5:00 and still in bed by 9:00.

 

The days of routine day drinking are long gone, but I still keep in practice several times a year on “special “ occasions, primarily when we visit local breweries, cideries or wineries with friends, or have barbecues or beach parties.

There’s also golf - I’ve played only two rounds this year, but both times we were drinking by 8 am.

Also, every other year or so my friends from high school fly into a centrally located city and spend the weekend together, usually revolving around a concert. On those weekends if we’re awake, we’re drinking.

Maybe I’m day drinking more than I thought.

 

I only day drink these days. If I drink after 5 pm, even one damn drink, I’ll sleep like trash. I like my sleep. I can have a couple in the afternoon and be fine.

Getting old is weird. I can’t pound caffeine anymore either. I have one 1/2 caffeinated cup a day. Anymore and I think my heart is going to burst out of my chest and I won’t sleep that night.
