I had one friend who moved to LA and I lost touch with him years go, managing to visit just once and see his swanky DTLA loft in a neat art deco building. He recently started posting in the instagrams again and it looks like he now lives in hollywood, got divorced and fuckin' looooves meth :(

Ellie Trashcakes posted:Okay but this is different because I can drink almost anything else, no matter how objectively foul—taaka, 4loko, hurricane, Mike's Hard Beetjuice—without having the same reaction and it kinda makes me sad because I am a big fan of spicy water and I was like "oh wow, all the implied flavor of la croix and it can get me drunk too? I'm in!" every single other bev major has piled on making copycats of this thing tho, do any of the other 20 hard ostensibly-malt-but-really-sugar seltzers make you that way

my yardstick for LA people is whether they had strong opinions about which tommys was best. Bonus points awarded for opinions on which original tommys is actually the ORIGINAL original tommys
