    Ahhhhhhh, beautiful night. How I missed you. :adore:

    This is more like it.

    I need to stay up until at least after my mom's windows are measured. The workman comes by at 10 am.

    That's why I said "good" wine.


    Champagne initially was just some white wine, that someone realized one day tasted much better with bubbles in it.

    I used to buy a fizzy Shiraz that needed to be chilled. That was delicious.

    I chill Riesling, Pinot Grigio and Gewürztraminer. Also Champagne - last time I checked Champagne is wine.

    You'd recoil living in Queensland, the Summers are so humid and hot a lot of people put their red wine in the refrigerator! Or should I say their casks (box wine) :lol:

    I like bubbly myself but for some reason have become less physically tolerant to any kind of alcohol of late.

    That's a great one. Also, "Changes" by Yes, one of my favorites.


    I had "Behind Blue Eyes" stuck in my head because of an image post... a parody on Batman.

    For whatever reason wine gives me worse after effects than beer and liquor. Maybe because good beer and scotch don’t have impurities but wine still has sulfites and histamines.

    I’m usually ok with red wine, but white wine gives me a bad head. Nothing is quite as bad as gin though.

    I don't drink wine except champagne. I found that if I drink good booze ( I drink only Scotch and vodka) and drink it straight, I get no bad after effects. I drink Ketel One vodka and single malt Scotch only and the only thing I add to either is ice. Sometimes I will put a cocktail olive or onion in the vodka.

    I only drink on very rare occasions and when I do, the quantities are way too small to cause any lingering effects.

    It's possible. I've noticed that if I drink too much wine, I'll tend to get a headache. And more than 2 full glasses of white wine on a nearly empty stomach will make me feel uncomfortable. But beer? No problem at all. It might be the sulfites or a reaction from the aged liquid (caused histamines to release). Beer fermentation time is much shorter.
