I'm not drinking because I like the fucking taste. Get me the shit I need to reach cruising altitude or don't invite me. Tell me in advance. I'll bring my own bottle.

Just an FYI, I feel the same way about candied ginger. It's common courtesy to have it on hand. |

I may forward this, anonymously, to a friend who is considering, for budget reasons, serving only beer & wine at her wedding reception. |

That would be great. But Slave says that I'm afraid of you people, so I guess I'll have to manage on my own.
Beer just makes me pee. A lot. Really a lot. And I have a small capacity for liquid volume. I like beer, I just can't drink it all day.
At a former firm, one of the partners made Irish Coffees at lunch, effectively shutting the place down for the rest of the day.

2.
Although the two times I've been there, the entire staff was Irish.
Apparently all of the fixtures are imported from Ireland.

Noted. I need to have a party soon so I can restock my bar. I'm running dangerously low on vodka and gin.

I hope you are in the wedding, since the other way to keep to a budget is to trim the guest list. |

Granted, but the Irish guys felt compelled to drag me there when we couldn't get into Kells. I ordered a Corona once just to be an asshole. I couldn't even imagine why they would even have Corona.
But yes, what Coltrane said. Full of Irish people.

So 4 N's total?
PS. I knew this. See prior page of posts. Yay me.
PPS. I've mentioned this before, but for all you stout drinkers, try Young's Double Chocolate sometime. That would make some excellent beer bread. Hmm. I'll have to try that out. |

Anything works except tequila and Irish or Canadian whiskey.
