    Drinking Games Beyond Beer Pong?

    The most creative version of beer pong I've come across is Quidditch pong. I discovered this game at a Harry Potter birthday party. They had set up all sorts of obstacles between the cups and ball. It was pretty complicated and the game lasted a long, long time. I enjoyed it because it took more...

    Ever Had Absinthe?

    I'm glad to hear that the green fairy bit is exaggerated. They really make absinthe sound scary in the media. I don't know if I would like to experience something, only to forget it. Do you think it'd be possible to experience absinthe in very small amounts? I'd hate to black out and forget the...

    Best Beer You Have Ever Had?

    My hat goes off to you because Pilsner is delicious! I introduces my friends to Pilsner a few years ago. It was surprising to me that not many people know about Pilsner in my area. It's not something that people commonly drink, so it blows their mind when they give it a go. The idea of beer...

    Buying Beer For A Party

    It would be so much easier if they had a name and section for middle line beers. In my area, the common beers you'd buy for a party are Budweiser, Coors Light, and Sierra Nevada (if you wanted to be a little fancy with your middle line beer.) It wouldn't hurt to have a budget section to look...

    Craft Soda

    I've had a few craft sodas, but they were all store bought. They were way better than any name brand soda I've bought in the past. The soda I had was a rootbeer, which was a bit different than your average rootbeer. The big difference I could taste was spice. You could tell that someone took the...

    One Big Ice Cube.

    It's so odd to me for someone to refer to this as a new fad. It's been going on for a long, long time in my area. I can't remember the last time someone offered me a whisky without it having a huge ice cube involved. It works as a great alternative to several ice cubes. The drink stays cold and...

    Worst Cigar.

    The worst cigar I've ever had was made from a company called Dreams. It was supposed to be a fancy version of a cigarillo, but it was disgusting. My friend suggested them to me since they tasted like vanilla and cherry. I don't know what possessed me to think that was a good idea because once it...

    Unusual Combinations

    Someone already beat me to it, but the tomato and beer combinations have always been weird to me. I love Bloody Mary's, but once they involve beer it makes me cringe. There is something around here called a Michelada. It is the combination of beer, tomato juice, hot sauce, spices, etc. It is one...

    Beer Shandy.

    It sounds interesting enough. I have never combined beer and lemonade, but I do enjoy the citrus that comes with some beers. I like the idea of it being low in alcohol content as well. It'd be nice to have the flavor, but not as much alcohol content as a normal beer. If I were to try this...

    Whiskey Flask

    It really is a pity. I have witnessed someone fitting the stereotype and decided that I never wanted to look a certain way in public. A friend of mine busted out his whisky flask in the middle of a Wendy's, adding Whisky to his soda. It was really embarrassing, since we were grabbing a bite to...

    Craft Soda

    This isn't a very common practice in restaurants, but this is a subject that my boyfriend and I have been discussing for some time. My boyfriend works as a full time line cook at a local Gastropub. They have tons of craft beer and various craft cocktails. Everyone they serve is unique in it's...

    Buying Beer For A Party

    This is usually my mentality when going into the store. I find that Bevmo is usually my best bet. I can find quality beer, but miss out on the expensive prices. I love that Romania has a term for this! Sadly, the only word we have for this situation in America is "cheap." I can't bring myself to...

    Ever Had Absinthe?

    I will be the first to admit that I am terrified of trying absinthe. I have seen so many reaction videos towards absinthe, but movies have still instilled the fear of the alcohol in me. From what I understand, absinthe is not nearly as intense as they portray it in films. I wish they didn't make...

    Irish Up Coffee?

    I have only put whisky into my coffee once. It wasn't that enjoyable. I didn't like the mixture of whisky and coffee together, but I do enjoy a bit of bourbon in my coffee. I discovered my love for bourbon at a local coffee shop. They created their coffee with peaches, rosemary, and bourbon...

    Buying Beer For A Party

    Everyone has their go-to beer when it comes to stocking up in the home, but we tend to change our minds when it comes to buying for a large group of people. Stocking up on beer for a party is usually a hard task. You have to decide if you want to go the cheap route or simply meet in the middle...

    Fruity Drinks

    The fruity drinks aren't always my go-to, but I do enjoy them. I love drinking fresh cocktails. There is nothing better than a bartender creating something from fresh juices and all fresh ingredients. I can't pass up a sweet-flavored drink that is made this way. One of my favorite "sweet"...

    Hangover Help

    The best suggestion I can think of is to stay hydrated. Majority of the terrible feelings of a hangover stem from dehydration. Alcohol is not the most hydrating liquid to put into your body. I tend to avoid hangovers when I drink lots of water throughout the night. Your drunken self may not...

    Your Fourth Smokes?

    Surprisingly, I haven't set aside any smokes for this evening. I usually buy a pack of cigarillos or find a nice cigar, but today is pretty mild. We aren't celebrating anything this evening and find ourselves staying indoors. Tonight I will only be smoking a bowl and enjoying the company of my...

    Beer Shandy.

    I am not familiar with beer shandys...or maybe I am, but I'm not familiar with this term. FuzyOn mentioned it being a lemonade flavored beer. I really wouldn't mind trying something like that. I love lemonade and find hints of citrus in beer to be super delicious. It'd be nice to see a beer that...

    What Are You Watching?

    Thank you for the suggestion! My boyfriend is really into history, so I try to find shows where we can meet in the middle. I am not a fan of history, but I do like a dark series. I will definitely look into Man in the High Castle! It sounds interesting enough. The way you described it...
