The Drunken Writer's Guild

I'm building a treehouse with a fully stocked bar and a "No Teetotallers" sign hammered to the door. What are you fine juke joint jezebels and jive turkeys drinkin'?

For me, my preferred poison is Scotch, naked and warm, in the same manner that I prefer my women. Walker Black if I have to, Chivas or Walker Blue if I can afford it.

Secondary choices would be a bourbon Old Fashioned, easy on the cherries, a sapphire and tonic, easy on the tonic, or a gin martini, (James Bond's vodka martys are disgusting) dirty, and dry as a lizard's back on an Arizona afternoon; just let the sun shine through the vermouth bottle and I'm ecstatic.

Dogfish 60 is my beer of choice.

How about you folks? Belly up to the bar. What are you drinkin'?

I'm afraid I get really silly when I drink. And I use the word "drink" loosely, meaning, one beer, sometimes even just a cooler...?

This is sad, I know. I'd like to work on my tolerance. Any tips?

Incorporal....practice makes perfect.. ;)

Makers Mark, no ice...
Bombay Sapphire... no ice, no tonic... or, extra dirty martini/extra olives please. thanks..

When I am poor, dirt poor, it is ancient age whiskey and Amsterdam gin.

if it is before noon, bloody mary Extra spicy w/ picked asparagus. mmmm brunch time! yay!

Same thing I always drink. Jack on the Rocks. If things get crazy, I'll go with a beer back. Bud Lite cuz I'm crazy like that.

I love a good screwdriver, Grey Goose or Skyy.

My tolerance for alcohol has dropped considerably since I've had kids, though. Now one glass gets me tipsy.

Lately I've been drinking a glass of red wine about every other night.

Red wine, preferably a nice Shiraz or white wine , maybe a Sauvingon Blanc, Chilean is good, New Zealand is better.

Very occasionally a really good old Armangac, none of this American ice business. What is it with you people and cold drinks - it's winter for goodness sake!

Hendrick's gin, martini, gibson or gimlet; Maker's 46 or lately, Russell's Reserve 10 yr; good Scotch bought by other people; Johnny Walker blue or black, usually same thing.

With the bourbon I like an old-fashioned, perfect Manhattan, or a few cubes and a cherry. Scotch or Irish, neat or a cube or two.

I keep vodka around but it's really just for if I ran out of Hendrick's, because it's a good 20-25 minute drive to get to any here. I make my own lime cordial for the gimlet, and use Noilly Prat vermouth for the martini or gibson, and the Manhattan. I've been into Fee Brother's bitters, but just learned of a place that stocks quite a few others, looking forward to trying some. I like how they brighten a drink, and I do like to experiment.

I like Belgian and Belgian-style ale, not much of a fan of wine, but can appreciate the right one with a meal, never just to drink.

I usually write in the day, so I don't drink and write usually. But if it's later... a dark and stormy (Gosling's Black Seal rum, ginger ale and lime) or a Meyers rum and coke zero. Or a Stella or Harp's Lager. For after writing unwinding purposes, either Zaya rum with just one or two ice cubes, or a good *old* single malt scotch on a bed of crushed ice. Can't drink wine anymore - red gives me a migraine after one sip, and white gives me a good old fashioned regular headache and insomnia after half a glass. I don't like either THAT much!

Real ale, red wine, or single malt, depending on mood. Though if truth be told I'll drink anything decent when the need arises. Except for Pernod.

Drink of choice: Tito's Vodka on ice with a slice of lime.

Miller Lite if I'm attending or watching a sporting event.

Silver Patron @ Choir Practice. Us teachers have Choir Practice once or twice a month. Choir Practice is necessary. Choir Practice ensures we make it from holiday to holiday without imploding. Choir Practice is goodtimes.

Love my whiskey, Irish, of course. Lately, however, i am sticking to beer. In bottles, the cheaper the better.

Margarita....anyone? Or if I need to stay awake Red Bull and vodka...

I just had another hot chocolate with dark rum. Tasty goodness!

hot chocolate with dark rum? mmmmmm I may have to give that a try....

I am apparently a very boring drinker - Bacardi and Coke, it has to be Bacardi though, not just any old rum, I would rather not drink than drink a rum made by anyone else. Or I drink Bud Lite.

It is my opinion that hard liquor is a marriage alterting drug.

I wish I could properly join this guild. I can't: I don't drink if I'm working in the near future and I'm on medication which doesn't interact nicely with large amounts of alcohol. I do, however, enjoy a gin and tonic (Bombay, of course), an absinthe, or a glass or few of red wine every now and then though. (And I have no work tomorrow in the daytime, so I think I'll crack open a bottle of red tonight!)

If I want to get drunk Jose will do me fine but please leave the train wheels behind. If I want to sip then skip the 1800 and go right past the Silver Patron. They will do if I to but I like my Tequila at least 11 years of age.

Sadly it took a toast to the passing of a good friend to discover the fineness of Scotch.

I'm in a wine mode this month. So far I like the white wines the best.
But a few months ago it was beer and last year it was varying forms of home brews ;)

I love drinking while writing - I managed 6k words last night while under the influence. I haven't checked to see if they make any sense yet, but...
