Honestly, I've never been a big fan of camping. At least overnight stays. I do enjoy a good hike at times. There is nothing like a long hike or even a good walk to clear the mind and get the blood flowing.

I'm no spring chicken, so this isn't the first election I've seen by a long shot. It is, however, easily the most bizarre in my lifetime. So, yes, a drink or three does help ease the tension. P.S. I too have got to imagine our friends overseas think we're pretty loco this election cycle...

Either or both. If I have the time, or I'm not too lazy, I pour it into a glass. Otherwise, it is out of the the bottle. I don't normally drink canned beer, so that is a non-issue.

LOL! I'd wager that is pretty much a guaranteed finger burn. Heck, I've done that with regular sized pipes. I wonder how hard it is to pack the bowl too. ;)

I honestly don't recall. The first one I really remember was when I was promoted from middle school to high school, we had a family get together, and I had one in a stein. My father used to by a nice, dark beer from Munich in that era, so odds are that is what it was. I had wine before that.

I've had Sangria made up with the traditional red wine, but I don't recall ever trying it with sparkling wine. For a hot day, though, that might hit the spot. Thanks for the share. :)

LOL! So, you'd get, what, two good puffs out of that one? ;) Neat find though.

It has been a while since I've had a Mojito, but they are good. I do enjoy the classic Gin & Tonic or Tequila & Tonic. It has been ages since I've had one, but the Mint Julep is another hot weather classic.

Sadly, not yet. And I checked a vendor that has unusual beers. Well, unusual for this area.

One I had, thankfully, forgotten about was Backwoods Cigars. Dang, those things smell terrible. I think I had one many years ago and that was enough. I recently saw them at the cigar shop and it trigger a memory. Not a good one either. ;)

I used to be able to get Old Crow Bourbon for around $9. It is still in that zone, though I don't buy it much. Of the relatively cheap bourbons, it isn't bad stuff. Particularly in mixed drinks that call for said.

I used to, but not so much anymore. A like to relax and get a good buzz going. But stumbling drunk? No thanks. Too much pain for no good reason.

Well, I don't know how the weather is elsewhere, but here it is hot. And I mean, blazing hot. Question: what are some of your favorite hot weather mixed drinks? Care to share the recipe? Any you avoid? Thanks for sharing!

I do drink pretty much everyday. It varies fairly wildly though; sometimes some brewskis, others a G&T after work, etc. Variety is the spice of life.

I can't say that I follow it. Football (or Soccer as it is called her in the US) doesn't get much coverage here in the States. And, from what little I've seen, our teams are usually pretty mediocre. The only sports I really followed were boxing and baseball and both of those I don't bother...

I don't believe I've ever seen plastic bottles for beer here in the US. A friend and colleague of mine is from Hungary and he mentioned it comes in such containers. I believe his favorite brand is Kőbányai that comes in glass bottles and plastic. I've never had the stuff, so I don't know if...

To be honest, these days I don't get out as much as I'd like. But, yes, the lower key establishments where you can listen to some soft music and nurse a drink are my favorites these days. The ability to have an uninterrupted conversation with someone is nice too.

I don't know that I have any addictions, per se. I freely admit I enjoy good drinks. And the amount consumed is almost certainly over some of the published recommendations. But I don't drink to the point I get sick or it disrupts work, family, finance, being a decent citizen, etc. So, I'm...

What the hell? That is just .... bizarre-o. And the price tag is wince-inducing. While I won't be buying one, hey, whatever floats one's boat. P.S The reference to the Polish vaginal bacteria beer above had me rolling. :D

I hear you. I am in no way a beer snob, but there is a certain low-brow factor of holding a can. Bonus points if one is using a Koozie. ;)
