The Official Christmas Alcohol Thread

[An Officer]

Right, and how many christmas trees have you eaten?

Must be when he forgot to do the Christmas food shopping.

 

[RoJoHen]

Most people I know think gin tastes like Christmas trees. Or at the very least, they think it tastes like how one would expect a Christmas tree to taste.

It's not a bad thing.

 

[Davros]

Tequilla shooters.

 

[Electric Coleslaw]

I've never been able to do Tequila. I can do margaritas, just not straight tequila.

 

[Holdfast]

So a colleague of mine just gave me a nice bottle of Taittinger Brut La Francaise in appreciation of the work we did together on a recent conference.

The fact that it's my birthday makes it double sweet!

Happy birthday!

I like Taittinger...

Tanqueray is great in cocktails.

I found out yesterday that my secretary is the great-great-whatever-granddaughter of THE Tanqueray. And I just thought she had a cool name.

^ Small world! If she were the inheritor of all those alcoholic proceeds, she'd probably be sunning herself on a private island or something... I wonder where it all went wrong for her...

Straight tequilas, with a pinch of salt and lemon are one of the ways I was introduced to alcohol... Ah, fond memories.

 

[Electric Coleslaw]

I've also found that alcohol is vital when you have a house full of family on Christmas day. I'll drink Mad Dog if I have to.

 

[RoJoHen]

I have never consumed alcohol in front of my family (nor have I ever said a curse word...I don't know why). This Christmas might have to change that.

I asked her that. Gordon bought them out, apparently, back in the mid-19th century. I told her she just needs to invent a new formulation and market that with her name instead!

Alcohol is vital to survive any holiday gathering with my family. Though I haven't been desperate enough to drink Mad Dog, yet. I haven't had that stuff since I was a teenager.

Try good tequilla.

I don't drink in front of my parents or any extended family, but my sister is the one who got me drinking in the first place.

Like any hard liquor, the only cure is to try it again and again and again. You'll get the hang of it.

 

[RoJoHen]

I don't like tequila. I can drink it fine, but I don't because I think it tastes funny.

 

[Ward Fowler]

I bought some 100 proof Captain Morgan's for the holidays. I'm afraid it goes down a little too easily.

 

[RoJoHen]

I have that problem with Captain as well. All of a sudden the bottle is almost empty and you're wondering what happened!

 

[Ward Fowler]

Yeah, I usually find myself wondering what happened, only its the next day.

 

[Cayla]

Tequila is the only alcohol that doesn't give me a hangover.

What's a good one to try. I'm gonna spend a fortune at the liquor store this weekend!

I like Cabo Wabo Anejo. Patron is good, but pricey.
