Oh, are you allowed to post in this thread when not drunk? In that case, does anyone have any suggestions of what to buy with my recently-acquired freedom? In general I'm a fan of spirits, but not vodka.

Bourbon? Gin? Maybe rum... rum usually grosses me out, but there is at least one kind that is delicious.

I pretty much quit drinking after I turned 21. It barely improves my disposition and I go back to my current disposition after I'm sober. I've already lost multiple family members to alcoholism, so I don't feel like devolving into that.

Yeah.

Why are you telling us this?

Edit: Beer has been acquired! Hooray!

On my way out to buy beer for Australia Day too! Just got back from the pool and the kids are winding down for a sleep, so time to break out a few cold ones.

Straya Day and pay day.

Tip: Don't buy Rekorderlig Passionfruit Cider. Ever.

Dammit, now I want to try that flavour combination.

Been there, done that. Gave me heartburn. I've got a Matso Lychee beer 6 pack from Broom, and some good old XXXX gold.

Do you know why Queenslanders called their state's brew XXXX?

Because they couldn't spell beer.

[crazysheep]

What's all the hype about Matso beer? My friend loves their mango beer.

[Jimmy]

It's hellishly expensive for beer, but the taste is somewhere close to cider, without being so fruity. As a treat, go for it if you like beer and sweet things. If your palate prefers a good strong bitter or a powerful hops flavour, I'd give it a miss though.

[crazysheep]

Ah, thanks. If I get a chance I'll try it, seeing that I prefer sweet stuff like cider.

I almost made it through Dry January. Almost.

'tis a bittersweet defeat (I'm drinking vodka & bitter lemon and it tastes abnormally good)

I've started brewing some apple cider.  Hopefully it works out.

Matso beer

Matso? You mean that Jewish bread made of Gentile babies flour and water? How do you make beer out of that? Is that even kosher?

[Yoink]

Oh, beer, how I love you.
I only drank a few cans of the beer I bought for Australia Day yesterday, but now I have a fridge full of cheap beer that should last me for a good while. I'm shocked and confused as to just why I ever considered not buying it. That would have been terrible.
Drinking beer (and other booze I suppose) in the morning is incredibly liberating. Yay beer!

There's your error. If you're gonna do a dry month, February's the logical choice. Only 28 days means far higher odds of success. January's 31 days, so you're just making it hard on yourself, especially with leftovers from New Years Eve clogging up the liquor cabinet waiting to be finished.

Been testing various Belgian beers recently, and just slammed 3 Gulden Draak.
 Wheee! 10.5% alcohol, dark beer. VERY tasty. They seasoned it so well, that you don't taste the alcohol, plus it tastes spicey and delicious. Can recommend. Definitly will buy again, to stew meat in. The spicing is marvellous.

Except that January doesn't have any holidays, IE family visits, and February has Singles Awareness Day.
