Can we start a drinking thread?

2goingon3 · December 2014

I'm 2 glasses of wine in, realized it was going down too quickly, so I switched to a more sip-able rum and eggnog. Why?

My parents are coming over and things are tense.

What are you drinking on this festive Friday night?

lrobi13 · December 2014

I'm enjoying my first margarita since January!

2goingon3 · December 2014

See. I knew this would be fun!
My LO is officially EFF, so I have no worries anymore, but all the feels about quitting BF. @PurpleHippo19‌ , your dairy restriction makes me feel for you....perhaps a little white grape vodka and sour raspberry liqueur mixed in with some cranberry juice instead?

I had a screwdriver. :x

I'm pondering a drink tonight. I worry about trying to deal with a crying baby while buzzed. More annoying or less annoying?

Less annoying. Everything they do is cute.

I'm currently on my second rum and coke for the evening. One of the few perks of EPing with a huge supply.

A delicious cider. And a whole lot of water. BFing makes my skin sooooo dry :-p

BFing makes my mouth so dry. After one glass od wine, I wake up all night long with cotton mouth.

I get that a lot but never connected it with alcohol - I will pay more attention! And boooo cotton mouth!

I went to a work happy hour even though I'm still on mat leave. Had a glass of White Zin (because they didn't have any wine I really wanted) and 1/4 of a vodka tonic. It was nice to be in adult company other than my H!

Edit typo.

I got strip steaks on sale today and DH and I opened up a nice bottle of red wine that we brought back from Napa a few years ago. Frank Family 2007 Cabernet, for anyone who cares. I'm 1.5 glasses in and a little buzzed.

Welcome to team tipsy!!!

I wasn't going to have one but I do have a pumpkin ale. To drink or not to drink........

I think on Fridays it is one drink per baby you have. So you are doubly behind!

Going on my third pour of iron horse Pinot noir...while nursing the baby. Before you judge too much, it's a small glass so a pour is only 2 ounces and it's been almost two hours.

You do you. No judgment here. You are obviously uber aware of the dos and don'ts re bf!

Finally got LO to sleep and remembered we have a few hard ciders left in the fridge. Drinking one now. Yummm. Has anyone tried Strongbow Honey Apple cider? It's DELICIOUS. Not what I'm drinking now though

Its on my list to try! I love hard cider!

2goingon3 · December 2014

Phew, parent visit survived!!!

Celebratory glass of wine?

I think so!!

(It's a Riesling, for those of you dying to know

)

@Cantisa‌ I know. Two pregnancies In 2 years... it's now been that long that I doubt I could even handle half a cider anymore.

@Kaylajade8911‌ I say you test that theory and then post about it...

@Cantisa‌ I have never had a pear martini! Is this a recipe that you can share?

TheOtherJacobsons · December 2014

I got wine drunk last weekend. 3 glasses and tested positive on those test strips. Thankfully the kid didn't wake up from her first long sleep early wanting to nurse. When she took the bottle I had more flexibility.

bumpuser10309732 · December 2014

This is awesome. If it wasn't just me I'd grab the bottle of wine and drink out of it with you ladys

Less annoying, definitely less annoying! I'm 2 drinks in on my Cranberry Rye and Gingers! If you like Rye and Ginger, definitely try Cranberry Gingerale (or ginger ale with a splash of cranberry juice).

Glad you survived the parental visit!! Definitely calls for a(nother) glass of wine. I love Rieslings! There is a great Hogue Late Harvest Riesling here that makes me drool just thinking about it!

MrsL2B · December 2014

I had three glasses of Bordeaux.

silliegirlie143 · December 2014

Sam Adams Winter Wonderland? Some such...

Really? I'm the lone beer drinker here tonight??

2goingon3 · December 2014

Classic choice @Kaylajade8911‌ !! Sucks that it's drinking time your time and morning coffee time our time @-)

CNJ4EVA · December 2014

I have whipped cream flavored vodka, but all I have on hand to mix it with is Mountain Dew or eggnog. Neither seems like a good mix.

I feel like the eggnog might be ok....definitely not the Mountain Dew....the thought makes me nauseous....

Any jello kicking around? Shots!

CNJ4EVA · December 2014

Thanks for the suggestions @crawford411‌ and @2goingon3‌, but sadly I don't have either. No worries though, I just asked DH to stop for oj on his way home.

ANGnJON · December 2014

I'm enjoying a dogfish head pumpkin ale, mmmm delicious!

irrekb · December 2014

I have to board an early flight solo with LO tomorrow morning or I'd be on the wine train with all you ladies.
I may need to buy drinks for all of those sitting near me on the flight though if LO has any melt downs.

Actually Mtn Dew and whipped cream vodka is delicious... Sweet and you should go to the dentist immediately after drinking it but delicious

MrsL2B · December 2014

Guinness tonight!

windwithfingers · December 2014

I had all the wine last night. I wish I had cider though.

golfingdarwinfish · December 2014

Trying to decide between wine and cider. I'm hoarding a specific cider that's only out for a few months, so opening one is a bit of an indulgence. Not sure I can finish a whole one tonight, so maybe wine?

ohioloveyou · December 2014

I'm having an Oktoberfest beer I bought while pregnant while watching football. DH is dealing with screaming baby. I feel a little guilty. Just a little.
