What am I drinking? Well, nothing at the moment, but that's about to change. My "go to" is gin and tonic.

My wife doesn't drink at all. Never liked the stuff. A few years ago I ruptured an achilles tendon and couldn't drive. I didn't want to send her to the liquor store because I knew she didn't really know how much booze costs (in New York-yipes)...so I was drinking everything we had left over from parties, and stuff other people had brought and left behind. Some of it was horrid. A lot of it was horrid.
Eventually I had to ask her to pick up a "handle" of Dewars. I had to send her a picture on the phone so she'd know what it looked like.
I heard the front door open..."Holy $hyte!!! Fifty-five bucks for this! I gotta start spending some money!!" I knew I was screwed.

At least you realized your mistake...

I learned to NEVER ask my wife for a gift from a music store...

If she saw the current prices on guitars (even though I didn't pay those prices), I'm a dead man and there will be a big garage sale...

Oh, and after I bought her a starter golf club set, she suggested I buy a second set of clubs to keep in TV, rather than schlep my clubs back and forth... I didn't have the guts to tell her my Driver cost more than her entire set... :eek::eek::eek:

Aldi winking owl Cabernet Sauvignon. Because the napa valley $50 bottles I have, would go too quickly. And will be inflated even more soon.

Good move on the golf clubs.

make them NE Wisconsin style or steak house style ..used to be every friday when we made fish fry..... well no walleye down here, we've done ocean perch and it fakes it just ok....working on a solution

Right now?
 

Right now? Right now it's hot cocoa. Wish I had some rum cream to put in it.

Tequila
 

One tequila is my limit, two at the very most, three and I’m under the table, four and I’m under the host.

Dorothy Parker I think said that , I didn’t google it just tried to remember it

You’re right, charlieo.

Attributed to Dorothy Parker:

I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most,
Three, I’m under the table,
Four, I’m under my host.

Now, there are martini glasses with Dorothy Parker’s little rhyme etched all around. Dorothy would have loved that.

Boomer

Now you're talking Driller

Tokyo Mule.

Fine needle system
 

It is called Coravin. Works very well. Around $150

one of my long time fantasies was to be sitting with Dorothy and the other great literary minds of the day at the Algonquin round table sipping a nice vodka martini , of course I’m a man who late at night is usually watching a 1930’S or40’s black and white movies

When I (occasionally) drink, I like one of two things: True Grit Cabernet Sauvignon, or a Montparnasse cocktail: Calvados & Elderflower liqueur, topped up with chardonnay, in a Reidel Nick and Nora cocktail glass. Have to go to wine.com to find the Calvados, the Elderflower liqueur, and the True Grit.
Nick and Nora glasses are on Amazon:

A “vodka martini” is like ordering a scotch gin and tonic, or a bourbon gimlet with a cherry. Thanks to James Bond, we now have vodka martinis, shaken not stirred. Today of course, you will get your drink, whereas a few decades ago you would have gotten a look from the bartender like you had lost your mind.
A martini is gin (not vodka) and vermouth, stirred (not shaken) up, with an olive. With a cocktail onion, it is a Gibson, not a martini with an onion. And who came up with a dirty martini?
Of course you must realize that I am just having some fun here, but nevertheless, it makes me smile whenever I hear some new concoction called a martini. (Now being from Maine, I did concoct the Mainetini; a martini with a pickled fiddlehead, but sadly it never caught on.
Cheers
