Let's get this out of the way immediately: Too much alcohol in any form is bad for your health. After all, alcohol itself contains roughly zero health benefits, drinking it in excess over time could result in liver damage, and further insidious side effects include cancer risk, osteoporosis, infertility, weight gain, depression, prolonged slurred speech, pancreatitis, and heart disease. Whether you're drinking lower-alcohol beer or higher-alcohol spirits or the fanciest of French wines, overdoing it can wreak havoc on your body over time.
That doesn't mean all alcoholic beverages are created equal, of course. A light, low-calorie beer will likely be better for you than its better-tasting craft counterpart that contains 450 calories. And if you're a fan of the hard stuff, know that sipping your favorite rum neat in a small glass invariably won't be as bad for your body as drinking the same amount of rum mixed in a classic daiquiri that comes loaded with a high dose of simple syrup. (A single ounce of the syrupy goop contains more than five teaspoons of added sugar. As we've reported in the past, too many added sugars will lead to more belly fat, raise your blood pressure, affect the way your brain functions, cause your skin to sag, and double your risk of dying from heart disease.)

That sounds like a good winter ale.
I dig. I hear they’re very sweet (and I take my iced tea unsweetened.) They just sound repulsive to me. They were all the rage when I was in highschool (back in the 80s, when underage drinking was all the rage and supported by the left, ironically). My classmates raved about them because they didn’t taste like alcohol.
I was always perplexed. Why drink it if you don’t like it? Personally, when I do imbibe, and it’s a nice single malt, HOOOO BOY is that wonderful.
But all that sugar in a fake tea... I’d pass out.
Power a pull tractor. 150mm turbo, reworked spark ignition heads, Holley EFI controller. 5 or 6 thousand horsepower for the big sixes should it.
Methanol for cool burning!
Already done.
Long Island Ice Tea?
Frozen Mudslides may you stupid REAL fast!
They are just too good and you always want another on a hot summer day.
The next thing you know you are hugging the toilet bowl as the bathroom is spinning circles all around you.
The only Russian export I use: Stoly!
Genny Cream is my go to beer. One thing you have to admit, it keeps your system cleaned out...
Ok for dinner. When it is also breakfast it has become problematic.
Whisky, neat.
Or with a dash of water.
One, then stop.
Period.
... When it is also breakfast it has become problematic.
But it calms down the morning shakes
Yes; being preggo after being horny does sometimes happen. :D
True that.
At about 50c a can, Genny Ice is my go to.
What I miss most about the ol’ PX back in the day was the ability to buy 198 proof Everclear here in California.
That stuff was fun as heck when you used it to replace the contents of a vodka bottle and took it to a party where people mix their own drinks.
For those cold days - Grog
Hot black tea with rum, honey and lemon.
Oh maybe rum with hot black tea?
We owe it to our women and future generations to protect our precious bodily fluids from commie contamination.
The absolute worst song of any generation (and, yes, even worse than the imbecilic “Muskrat Love”).
Well, to be accurate, a martini with a cocktail onion is called a Gibson; with a green olive it is...well, a martini.
