I sometimes drink before really drinking, I guess.

Yeah, but you are Finnish.

Moderator and playing a race card?

KA-BOOM!

Meant as a compliment. Even Hungarians bow down to the drinking prowess of the Finns.
Race card? There is only one type of human left, old chap: homo sapien sapiens.

Obviously, but my sleep deprived brain just had to go there.

I have the punch bowl and glasses. I have the liquor and mixers. All I lack is the crowd of thirsty punch-drunkards. So few people drink punch, (plain or alcoholic) these days.

I like to drink my beer from a cold mug (my favorite is 36 oz) unless it is in a 24 oz can. I also put the game on mute and play music.

No pre-booze rituals... but I always know when I've gotten hammered the night before, because I wake up with a fuzzy mouth after neglecting my usually thorough oral health ritual (I married a wonderful woman who used to be a Dental Assistant, she taught me well). No brushing, no flossing, my choppers are lucky if I even remember to wipe them off with a t-shirt. That may be something like a post-booze ritual. Or anti-ritual. Whatever.

I seriously wonder if I am some kind of mutant. I can drink an entire bottle of bourbon, forget where I put my purse, sleep/pass out, buy stuff on ebay, do x-rated things with Grumpy and remember everything (well, except for some things that must be forgotten) forget to set the alarm, and still wake up a few minutes past the crack of dawn, and roll downstairs to drink milk and maybe eat and start my day of boring errands or whatever. Plus I find out that I wrote a couple of chapters of the latest book that no one will ever read. And this is good, because I no longer wake up beneath my desk, as Grumpy is no longer on the road.

Sniff the cork then remove it with my teeth and spit it in the street

I find this, oddly arousing.

Cheers.

I thought they had me at "Alien Orgasm" but damn. That sounds revolting.

It really depends on what I'm drinking. Alcohol is such a varietal and polyvalent drug, and so many drinks have their own rituals associated with them through cultural traditions, etc.

That being said, when I get a mixed drink with a straw/stirrer, I stir the drink and take the straw out. I usually take a whiff of my wine or whisky before drinking it. If I have a drink out of a tumbler or highball, I'll swish it around the sides for a bit. I guess these aren't really rituals, but w/e.
