NoJoMo 15 in NoJoMo 2014

Of which libations do you partake? When were you last drunk? What’s in your glass now? What will be later?

There’s nothing I really favor in particular, though I will say I don’t drink very much wine. To me, it tends to be about appropriateness with whatever else I’m going to eat or drink along with it. The chances of me having a glass of chardonnay with a steak are pretty low. Lower, still, would be having a glass of chardonnay with a black fly. Is that ironic? (

Last night, I had a gin martini, then a beer as dessert. (http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22783/63699/)

I really don’t remember the last time I was drunk. I don’t like getting completely sloshed. With the frequency with which I drink, there’ve been a few times where I’ve cut myself off, but, completely blitzed? It’s been a long time. Maybe Shmoocon 2010, where I spent most of the night on the nice cold bathroom floor in the hotel room?

Since I went to prison, my consumption has dropped considerably. I don’t have my own fridge, or stash, or …. Listening to my young coworkers discuss what they’re drinking also serves as a deterrent. Bottle service at a casino, and you ordered Vodak? Really? (And I’ll skip the whole rant about vodka being unfinished gin.)

Nothing’s in my glass right now. There is Coca-cola in the can next to me. I think if i was drinking before 8:00 Eastern, someone might say I have a problem.

This afternoon/evening, I’ve been kind of craving a Manhattan, after hearing the pols talk about Kentucky Bourbon. (Obligatory: RAND PAUL)
