I eventually had to stop one of those two behaviors. Your math is broken. There are 69 calories in a 44ml shot of Makers, 3oz is 88ml so there is 138 calories in a 3oz pour. Co-worker once told everyone that liquor has no calories

Yeah, beer is awful for calories. Even light beers are around a hundred each so, as a big man with high tolerance, getting even to an okay place on beer is like a large meal's worth of totally empty calories. I've also been drinking a lot of malt liquor lately, which needs to stop. I just got paid, so I think this weekend needs to be more about gin and drugs.

Found a gift card for the liquor store while cleaning out my wallet. It has enough on it for me to get a quality whiskey. This is going to be good.

cname posted:gin = christmas trees, vodka = gross potatoes and rum is literally sugar. Gin comes in two types, Christmas tree or citrus. Try some Bombay Sapphire or Tangueray Rangpur. Vodka that's actually made from potatoes is surprisingly difficult to find (in the US anyway) and it's usually not bottom shelf; accursed soy has mostly taken over that segment. Rum is literally alcohol and most of the 'good ones' aren't sweet. Splizwarf has a new favorite as of 04:57 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Good news and bad news time. The good: I have an interview with a local Mercedes dealership to be the guy who drives the cars off the transport truck, puts the first five miles on them, and parks them in the lot. $12 an hour, full time, benefits. The bad: No more coming to work hungover. Drinking only allowed on Friday and Saturday nights.

Ok just getting wage reference since our minimum wage in Australia is like 13.75 or something, but our standard of living is a lot higher. Pretty good for what he's doing then! Shame about the life adjustment though. Bachelor on the weekends!

Just wanted to step in on the creme brulee beer chat. I'm in MN near the WI border and every once in a while I manage to catch Southern Tier Creme Brulee beer and goddamn is that amazing/strong beer. It really seems like distribution is hit or miss, which pains me a great deal. I know its seasonal, but I've ran across kegs in bars that have been way out of the season, and bottles of it here and there. I guess what I'm saying is that its loving amazing, and difficult for me to get. My great white sonofabitch whale beer.

Pumpking is too sweet but Souther Tier have some sort of imperial pumpkin stout (there's a wizard on the bottle I think?) that is much better because the higher alcohol balances it out.

Captain Trips posted:Good news and bad news time. This is all good. Eventually we gotta grow up and the secondary gain is that our organs stop hating us so much. I've been working a ton lately. I work 12s as a nurse so literally all I do during stretches of working is come home and shower, sleep, go back to work. No time for bullshit. It makes time off that much sweeter, and tolerance goes way down by the next time I do drink.  Plus anyone with a full-time job with benefits right now is pretty lucky.

In the US "benefits" usually includes health insurance, which just by itself makes the job into a good job. Before my current job, paying for my own health insurance was nearly 1/3 of my income.

My job offered me $20 a month for unlimited doctor visits, but that's all they are. Talk to the doctor. Any kinda real tests or whatever cost the same as they normally would. It's really only good for people like asthmatics or diabetics who know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they need a prescription every month or whatever.

10 Beers posted:Yep! Schlafley Pumpkin Ale tastes like pumpkin pie. That's the other good one, thank you. Couldn't remember. Schlafley and Harpoon are the good ones, the other pumpkin ales are either dramatically overblown and chewing the scenery (eg Southern Tier pumpkin and everything else they make) or just dull/awful (eg Sam Adams pumpkin). Southern Tier is the Michael Bay of breweries.

O' Fallon's pumpkin used to be my favorite, but last year I bought a case and threw away a case minus about 3 beers. It was just awful last year. I'm not sure that I've ever seen Harpoon pumpkin so I'll be looking out for it. Has anyone seen any out yet? I've been waiting but nothing yet.

I just "sous-vide"'d some hotdogs... Took the whole pack out of the freezer, threw them in hot water in the sink to thaw. When I checked on them, I realized that there was no point in cooking hotdogs without a grill, they just needed to be warm. Filled the other half of the sink with hot water, let the pack soak. They were only warm after that. I ran full-temp hot water over the package for 20 minutes and huzzah, hot hotdogs to dip into the soy/sriracha sauce mix I made while waiting. Dinner!

Chocolatey cereal and blueberry beer is an acceptable dinner after hearing that your ex has to give the cat you adopted together to a rescue, right? I can't take the cat myself because she's in Florida, I'm in New Mexico, and I don't have the money to ship him on such short notice.

As much as that situation sucks I feel more for the animals. Too many people get a dog or cat and think of it as a short term pet rather than the up to 15 years they can live for... Then pound them try palm them off etc. it's a big commitment. People take it too lightly. Not saying that's your situation, just lashing out at people in general.
