What's your budget?This week was a lot. What alcoholic beverage tastes relatively good and will make me forget the week? My canned wine was judged harshly.

That stuff is terrible! Keep it simple if on a budget...vodka, tonic, fresh twist of limeStep it up one notch. Ever heard of Fireball?
Wines, I try to stick to $20 or less. I am a wimp when it comes to more potent drinks, but I like a good cocktail. I would be willing to splurge there.What's your budget?
Masso Antico Primitivo if you like red and can find itWines, I try to stick to $20 or less. I am a wimp when it comes to more potent drinks, but I like a good cocktail. I would be willing to splurge there.
I'll keep an eye out for it, but It doesn't look like they sell it in my usual places. I haven't had a red in a minute though. I should find a new cab to try. Thanks for the suggestion!Masso Antico Primitivo if you like red and can find it
Fireball is my wife and my guilty pleasure when we go backpacking. Pack a camp mug with new fallen snow and top off with some fireball- you won't be disappointed in the drink (but you may be disappointed in the life choices that led you to find yourself in the middle of the woods with a plastic bottle of cheap liquor).Step it up one notch. Ever heard of Fireball?
Tonight it's Greek food. Currently drinking a very nice Washington State pinot gris (Chemistry label- about $14 for the bottle). Started the evening (it is Friday, after all) with a nice Vieux Carre cocktail, as suggested in the thread a week or so ago.
Sorry it was a rough week. What do you usually like to drink? I always recommend IPAs, scotch, or a whisky or gin based cocktail, but I have old man taste.This week was a lot. What alcoholic beverage tastes relatively good and will make me forget the week? My canned wine was judged harshly.

I'm going out of town and I'm trying to convince myself it's going to be more fun than staying at home with my cat and ordering in.
I'm flying tonight and spending a week with my family. Wish I could hide home with my husband and pupper and order takeout. I'm going to need all the tequila to get through this.I'm going out of town and I'm trying to convince myself it's going to be more fun than staying at home with my cat and ordering in.
Interviewing is terrible. Can this not be a Harry Potter-style sorting hat kind of deal?
I can just see the body of literature that develops around the attributes a proposed sorting hat uses to determine selection
I'm old school. I first want a comparison of the efficacy of a sorting hat to the standard magic 8 ball.
What, you don't miss seeing this on your Friday evenings:Ah, the early 90's, I don't miss you.
On the flip side, I did have what will likely be my 100th peer-reviewed article get a minor revision decision yesterday, which I resubmitted in about 2 hours of receiving the decision (very minor wording changes).
101st is where it's at, though, because then you can say "over 100 peer-reviewed publications" in your bios.I think I speak for all of SDN when I say, we all look forward to seeing our special acknowledgment on your 100 article.
When my cousin and his wife visited my parents for a vacation a few (5?) years ago (my parents live in ski country, so they get used as a free hotel a fair bit), his wife was incredibly excited to see the signs for Blockbuster and FYE in the same shopping center.Honestly, I do kind of miss that.

Accepted a job offer from one of my top ranked options this week. Trying to think of safe, creative ways to celebrate. One round of virtual drinks on me.
Dry January over here, it's all hoppy seltzer water for me.
Laguintas has one called hop water or something that is wonderful.Huh, never heard of that. Does that make you miss beer more or is it a decent substitute?

It works pretty well, don't miss beer much. Which, I guess is part of the point of Dry January. If it were really hard to do, may be something else I'd have to address Also, for people who want a Almost Dry January, there are some "Non-Alcoholic" IPAs that are actually decent. Athletic Brewing makes a Run Wild IPA that is the closest substitute that I can find. It's technically like 0.5% alcohol, so not 100% no alcohol, but something easy to substitute here and there to cut down.
The Swedes call it a "white month". Like differentiating hunger from bored eating: if you’ll take straight cabbage or vermouth: you have a problem.It works pretty well, don't miss beer much.
