I really should have taken the vodka in the water bottle advice! They picked me up 25 minutes ago and we've already had to stop so they could all use the freaking bathroom! Gonna be a long night

No, I am not drinking. I've never really consumed much in the way of alcohol. I just don't really see what the draw is. I got drunk once just to see what it was like, and didn't really care for it. And the taste of the booz doesn't do much for me either.
I just never got the appeal of alcohol consumption. It's not that I never drink, but I just never got the appeal.

I had a bad day. A really, really bad day. I got a beer at 3 p.m. I think that's a new record. I try to ALWAYS wait until 5 p.m. although my DH keeps humming the "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" mantra. I actually feel better. I just can't vent at school. I only can type "Sounds great. Thank you!" when I mean GTH.

I had a great day since I am planning my retirement date and gave them my letter of intent. I had to let them know early so that they could train some of the coders on some of the dialysis units that I code every month. We're waiting forf DD to come over so we can go out to dinner.
I think I'll havea Kahluah and cream tonight to celebrate. We just bought a botle of the Kahlua with vanilla, and that is good stuff.

I quit drinking many years ago but once every few years would drink a glass of wine. Several years ago I got pancreatitus and was told never to drink again. I have no idea what caused it, hadn't drank in 20 + years, but apparently alcoholics have it. The pain and illness was so horrible and I spent a week in the hospital it took away any appeal for a glass of booze ever again. That sounds awful! My grandpa was in the hospital over the summer and when the doctor came in and asked him the last time he'd had a drink, he said June, 1950... I guess the malaria he contracted during WWII flared up again after he had a glass of champagne at a wedding, and he spent 4 days in the hospital. I never remember seeing him drink, but assumed he did at least on special occasions... I was shocked to find out he hadn't had booze in almost 65 years! I am counting down the days until I can drink again. I even went and bought some of those alcohol test strips for breastmilk - I'm ready! But right now I kind of hate everyone on this thread except Patstab and Phoenix.

I've been wanting to try an espresso with some orange liqueur. I have some nice stuff that should make for a good one.

I just poured a glass of Viogner. Yum! I will get home at 5 and will be imbibing soon after. I have half a cucumber at home to use up so I was thinking cucumber martini but wine is easier. I'm home alone tonight so it would be weird to drink too much by myself, right? You're not alone; you have us! Bonny toddles off to get her bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and watch the sunset...

I am on my second Great Lakes Christmas Ale. I was not going to drink until I reduce my weight to certain number. Once the boss called and told me I paid someone that I should not have paid (Oh wait he was on the list from the boss) I am very frustrated. I will try to drink frustration away. Oh and if there are any payroll people out there it the overpayment crossed quarters

I drink more since we had a kid...I used to have about 4 drinks a year, now I think I'm up to 6 already, and I was pregnant the first half of the year. I had a drink when we went out for sushi for lunch today and went home and took a two hour nap, until my husband picked the boy up from daycare. It was the best thing ever.

I am thirsty but I have hot water for tea on the stove so guess i will have tea. I don't drink alcohol because I don't enjoy it.

I ended up at the store until 11:30 last night playing Magic with my usual group of Friday nerds. By the time I got home all I had the energy for was crawling into bed and finishing the last couple chapters of The Lies of Locke Lamora before I crashed. It was glorious in a really nerdy way.
The kids are spending the night with their aunt tonight, so Loop and I can make up for missing happy hour yesterday.

Dark do the Magic players pay a fee to play? You are after all keeping the lights on.
Glad to hear you and Loop will get some quality time together tonight.
I missed this tread yesterday...my Dad is in the Hospital so I spent the afternoon there with my Mom. I am at work right now to get a few things done then I will stop to see my Dad before I head home.
My drink of choice is a glass of wine. I only have respect for those that don't drink, someday maybe I will join you. It sure would help my waistline. Hmm maybe I should give it up for the next two months or so. Naa, then I would have to get through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years without a drink. I don't think I can make that work and spend time with all the relatives.

Yep, I ain't running a charity. I run an in store league. Sealed format so decks can only be constructed from the cards pulled from packs purchased in the store, plus a little bit extra that goes towards the prize pool. I'll still eat a little bit on the prizes, but I need to run so many sanctioned events to qualify as a core store with Wizards of the Coast, which gets me access to pre-release events, prize support for FNM, and direct ordering. I'm on track to make core by Christmas, easily.

No, I am not drinking anything right now. I do enjoy an occasional cocktail or two, a martini with dinner, or mulled cider with brandy. But I only checked this thread to get the scoop on which of you characters are dyed-in-the-wool lushes and sots. There were several confirmations, but few surprises.
