What are you drinking right now?

7:10 PM - poured the first glass of Kessler. This is day five of my bender, and it's a bender more in compliance with Palinka's guidelines in that I haven't showered the whole time. Cheers, assholes!

Where's everybody going?

[Nausea]

Damn how'd you pull that one off?

Showed 'em the ol' razzle dazzle.

Nah, it wasn't hard. They're good employers.

They stopped selling it openly.

Damn how'd you pull that one off?

Does he have his own Employee of the Year parking spot, too?

The hell with the parking spot I want the employee of the year personal bathroom.

Well played sir!

It's late past midnight and I'm drinking gin martinis and Mexican lager beer. WTF! It will be Monday and I'll be a zombie for most of the day. But it's all good thanks to retired life. OK boomer.

Blackout stout from those fine Cleavelanders known as Great Lakes.

Tonight thus far: my riff on the Obituary cocktail: a three to one of gin and absinthe (or substitute, in this case Herbaint.) Might crack open a Lady Luck Imperial Red from Karben 4 before bed.

Vermouth and gin cocktail +beer+ + whiskey

[Nausea]

Pint of Guinness at the pub before work.

Couldn’t help myself and tried some whiskeys.

Knappogue 12 — very nice.
Jameson IPA Caskmates — terrible, no flavor, weak dram.

That IPA Jameson was fairly disappointing. I have a vague memory of trying a stout edition Caskmates, I wanna say I remember liking it. Been just a little too long.

Currently sipping some Bushmills black.

I personally loved it, and I I'll you why: one of the redneck dives I used to frequent (although I could go back, I just haven't) got a bottle for free from their distributor. So I come in one night, and the Thursday night bartender goes "Tipsy! Usual?" And I say yes and he says "hold on! I got something you wanna try." So my usual there is a bottle of Fantasy Factory IPA from Karben 4 brewing and a shot of Jameson. So he has the Jameson IPA. And the first shot was free. And the second. And the first the next time. And the second the next time. And over the course of a few short weeks I had a whole bottle at the bar free to me.
Good times.
Tonight it's going to be two dry dirty gin martinis. My brine-to-olive ratio is getting less than ideal, so I have to straight that out. If I get bent in the process, so much the better.

^^^ Free whiskey is fun whiskey.

I'm finishing off the last of the blackout stout before moving on to the old reliable Genesee.

Dry dirty gin martini. I picked up a sixer of Terrapin Brewery Hopsecutioner on my way to work and may or may not break into that. Or maybe just stick to gin cocktails for the evening. This time of year I work six days a week, 60+ hours, and I haven't had time for a proper liquor store run. I really need to stock up on the essentials.

Aberlour 12. Very subdued with the flavors, but pleasant.
