64 oz. Mountain Dew ... 3rd of the day. How do you spell diabetes? In my head is the taste and burn of Jack Daniels. I know how to spell alcoholic.

Too....much...coffeee.....

I too have an alcohol ban, enforced by the mrs - only drink on Saturdays - I kid you not!

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

My darling wife also tries the same. However she is quite unobservant and a few sneaky drinkies do sneak past de temps en temps.
Have you tried stealth beer?

Drinking an ice cold BCVC.

(Black Cherry Vanilla Coke)

Milk Tea

Something brown and allegedly caffeinated, from under the machine in the room with the fridge and first aid kit.

Catching up reading the couple weeks here and there on the WGB drinking french press black coffee. House sitting for my folks who are close to the beach here.. I woke up early to the sounds of a humpback whale doin' it's loud spouty thing (heavy breathing) feeding about fifty yards away... cool.

A forbidden, poisonous latte.
But I really needed it now...

five cups of coffee (to me regular zero cups). between my heartbeat, the rain, and passing cars, my life sounds like a squarepusher remix.

Then this is definitely a job for...

Too Much Coffee Man!

I was going to celebrate the first genuinely springlike day in New England by going to the store and treating myself to some Asahi beer, but my wife has guilted me into taking point on putting kids to bed.

Thus, I am currently drinking water. Bitter, bitter water.

Sampling Day:


The Belle-Vue Kriek (a Belgian 'lambic ale' made from cherries and aged in barrels for 3 years) was... interesting. Kind of like a mix between a wine and a beer. Sue liked it (she doesn't like beer), and I really didn't (I do) - a bit too syrupy-sweet for my taste.

The Innis & Gunn is aged in oak, so it tastes like a good, smooth beer, but with an overlay of that 'mouthful of wood' (stop sniggering, there in the back) flavour you get in the less subtle chardonnays. Not bad if you like that sort of thing, but I really don't, so...

Now the Black Sheep is the shiz. A dark ale, not a stout, it's smoother and less burnt-tasting than Guinness but more robust than lagers and the lighter ales. Quite smooth and very tasty.

I'm not too crazy about lambics myself, but once in awhile, they hit the spot like nothing else.

i have a friend who doesn't imbibe, except for the occasional lambic. he calls it cherry soda. yeah, very occasionally, they are tasty.

right now, i'm enjoying a lost coast great white, after which i'll have a downtown brown, or perhaps another great white. the excitement builds.

gah! posted pics but they're frickin huge! go here , if you care.

my wife loves the lambic...but learned the hard way that if you drink a couple of bottles of it you will wish for death the next day.

i don't mind it, but i'll take a white ale over a lambic any day of the week.

Right now. Coffee. Black.

This should do it!
But it isn't fair trade sadly.
I call it "do stuff" coffee because about 10-15 minutes after a cup I find myself running around like a blue arsed fly doing all that stuff that never seems to get done.
Fairly useful at times.

I thought any beer with a fairy on the front must be good.



From the wonderful Quebec 'Unibroue' company, Éphémère... Beer on lees with apple must. Very nice.
