Drink till you drop...

[tloonya]

I had always thought that vodka has loads of sugar in it.
And here its don't!

www.livestrong.com/article/32276-types-hard-alcohol-sugars-carbs/

Hard alcohol contains no sugar or carbs. Even though it's made from natural sugars, fruits, grains, sugarcane and berries, those sugars are converted to alcohol during the fermentation and distillation process. Stick with straight alcohol, though. Cocktails and mixed drinks will be full of sugary sodas and fruit juices. Hard alcohol does, however, contain calories, so anyone on a weight loss plan needs to be careful when it comes to alcohol intake.

Some good news for a change.

Alcohol just rots your brain, gives you bloat and makes you say silly things. OK, make that too much alcohol.

Try vigorous physical activity with your significant other instead. No sugar, no carbs, no calories, no brain cell drain.

Hey loon - did your mom come to live with you? or what happened with her bf?

Eviction process is in...well, process.
BF's lawyer answered to D's lawyer.
First she said she just wants to make sure bills are paid (which those were always paid except when SHE had POA)
Then she turned off electricity for them without warning.
I had turned it back same day.
BF's lawyer will try to play D's stole the house from her father because he had made it clear 'after his death' and she as a lawyer made it
the way she wanted it and he signed it because he thought his blood and flesh can't do him wrong.

I'm still here. Same old me. I don't really drink, so I'm just jealous, yanno.

[ZaireinHD]

never got into the drinking thing!
beer is beer - it all tastes the same to me - nasty!


I would only drink beer when going out or at a party - when the majority is drinking beer.
I'll just look around to see what is popular and go with that!

I would prefer a mixed drink with Vodka, or Rum

I do like Sangria when I'm at that restaurant in Newark NJ - Ferry Street - can't think of the name right now?

[Shooby]

There is a new moonshine distillery here making premium flavored moonshines. That would knock you into next week.

A male friend of mine and I are talking about meeting in Las Vegas and getting drunk while we catch up on the last 10-20-30 years - only going on the grounds that we pinky promise not to get married while drunk in Vegas - although I have not been there yet, hence the reason for meeting there, I have come to understand that there are many things that may seem perfectly sane to do while drunk in Vegas but by the light of the morning after hangover are not.

NYC sounds good too - hmmmmmm - choices and decisions ...

from what I hear about Vegas - EVERYBODY!! has their hand out for a tip! EVERYBODY!!
I mean even the passengers off the very same plane - at baggage claim if they talk to you they want a tip! LOL
ok joking there but - seriously I heard several times and from several people EVERYBODY wants a tip!

Come over here to NewYork! to walk around Times Square is free! Vegas is EXPENSIVE!!

also I am a big believer that men and women can be friends without having sex with each other. but not sure how much of friends you are when catching up on possible 3 decades? then throw in drinking and getting drunk! getting married is the least of your concerns - but that part has been worked out.

Vegas or New York - good times will happen!

There were a few others off Ferry Street, also very good, but Fornos is the biggie. I loved the whole area, frankly. The food rocked - Portuguese people eat bread, rice and potatoes at the same meal.

We bought a case of wine from Lisbon Wine Imports while we were there. Nice people running the place; they let us mix and match anything we wanted, and shipped everything home for us. There is a kitchenwares/hardware store there as well; I almost bought one of those meat-carving sabres (like they use in the restaurants for slicing meat off the tableside skewers), but I figured the TSA might have an issue with it.

tloonya - Sangria is nothing more than say a wine cooler!

I'm good!

I thought the alcohol doesn't have a lot of carbs / sugars. It's what you mix it with that comes back to haunt you.

ENJOY!

from what I hear about Vegas - EVERYBODY!! has their hand out for a tip! EVERYBODY!!

ok joking there but - seriously I heard several times and from several people EVERYBODY wants a tip!

Come over here to NewYork! to walk around Times Square is free! Vegas is EXPENSIVE!!

also I am a big believer that men and women can be friends without having sex with each other. but not sure how much of friends you are when catching up on possible 3 decades? then throw in drinking and getting drunk! getting married is the least of your concerns - but that part has been worked out.

I'm guessing you've never been to Vegas?

 It isn't that everyone has their hand out, it is simply a place where  alot of workers depend on tips to make their living. If you valet park instead of parking your own car, yes, you are expected to tip.

If you use a bellman to carry your luggage to your room, you are expected to tip.

If you play table games with dealers and they provide good service, a tip is appreciated, but not expected.

Drinks in the casino are free, so if you tip the waitress $1, you're drinking for $1 a drink. Where else can you get sloshed for $10?

Many casinos are generous with their comps, so are you going to worry about tipping a waitress when your room or food are free?

The only thing that is expensive in Vegas now is the food, but that is anywhere you vacation now.

Why do you think that Atkins and the Drinking Man's Diet allows for hard liquor?

These are low-carb diets.

 Funny, I've been to Vegas more times than I can count, and never dealt with those people at the baggage claim or at airport curb. Taxi drivers appreciate a tip in any town, that is not unique to Vegas.

Bellmen live off tips, so yes, it is expected that if they bring your luggage inside and up to your room (if they bring it inside, it is expected they bring it to your room) that you tip them.

Room service appreciates tips in any town, not just Vegas.

As for the flyers/hooker cards, you don't tip those people.

I don't know who you are talking to regarding Vegas, but their impressions of the city (and service personnel in the hotels) doesn't jive with mine at all.

[ZaireinHD]

sure it does? you're agreeing these different ...ummm....services are asking for a tip.
