Half and halves

[dibby33]

Oops. Got very drunk last night after work. Sitting at my desk here on third black coffee. Just got told off by wife over the phone. She is 8 months pregnant and NOT happy with my behaviour. If only I could remember what I did. Slamming doors was mentioned.
Oops.
8 of us from work went for a couple of beers after work and two of us kept on going. I introduced my workmate (who has not turned up yet and it is nearly 10am here) to half and half. This is a half pint of beer with a single whiskey drunk at the same time, sip of one, sip of another. Very dangerous. Was playing pool and can remember missing the break shot!


I must try and behave for a while!

...must have more coffee.

Went to a homebrew club meeting last night. Didn't get drunk, but I ate too much of the curried chicken. That or it just didn't play well with homebrew. Severe GI reaction.

We called those boilermakers in Chitown. The version where you drop the shot into the beer was called a bomber. Some people would hold the shot glass against the mug and trickle it into the beer as they drank. That was called crazy.

Greasy fish and chips for lunch. Starting to come right! Nearly beer o'clock.


Workmate still not turned up. He should have known not to drink with a Scotsman!

Easy, dibby, my friend. You can't enjoy your brew if the missus is glaring and counting. Chicks love contrition. If you can manage a tear, that would go a long way. If not, take her out for a nice meal and drink cola.

Good job dibby, grease is a huge helper when you're hanging.

I imagine SWMBO on the other hand will be fine too. Just gonna have to behave for the next month or so til the little one arrives and the hormones settle down. Banging around the house is to be expected when you're drunk isn't it?

OK, MY wife expects it.

BURPPPPPP. Fish, calamari, scallops and a whole heap of chips! I work down by the wharf and there are a lot of good seafood places here.

Yeup Ize I agree need to be on behaviour for a while. I am going to have to drive her to hospital at some point so I have to be able to drive at all times. Looks like I have time for brewing!

last time I gave up alcohol for a month I made a big elastic band ball to keep my mind busy. May have to go and buy elastic bands again.

LOL, you can make the biggest rubberband ball in Tas and charge folks to come see it. Instant Tourist Attraction! You can pay for that Homebrew Habit that way!

Starting to feel normal. Headache and sickness subsiding. Workmate not turned up yet.
Pretty sure the call for beer will be made soon.

I woke up at 7:38 this morning. Had a 7:30 meeting scheduled. Maker's Mark again last night, and SWMBO demolished a bottle of wine. Neither of us were feeling too well. She's got the day off, and I just got told I'm going to be working on Sunday.

That's what ya get for drunken chat on a Thursday.

FWIW woke up on the couch at 5:15 this morning. I vaguely remember getting there. Was pretty pleased to know that I still had an hour to go before I HAD to get up. A bit on the slow side myself today.

If you think she's upset now wait a month- you'll be real popular with her.

Try not to hold the things she screams about you against her....

I had a similar situation occur; not remembering everything that happened the night before. Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting up with the old college crew down in AZ. Anyways, to cut the story short I was told by multiple sources that I was in my birthday suit for a summation of almost an hour! There were more than 20 guests at this gathering and I don't remember taking one piece of clothing off. Damn Tequila!!! To quote Seinfeld, "this was Bad Naked!"

I could never relate to boilermakers. To me, although I suppose it was a great way to get juiced really fast, dropping or pouring a shot of Old Underwear or some other kind of whisky into a glass of beer made the beer taste pretty yucky to me. I think at the bar I used to hang out at back in my college days they didn't drop the whole shot glass in but rather poured it into their beer. Good way to ruin both a good beer and a good shot if you ask me. I always drank mine separately.

OT: do they still put worms in tequila bottles? The same bar used to follow the tradition that if you killed the bottle of tequila you had to have the worm in the shot that killed it. It was always funny to see a guy gag on it and spit it out on the bar.

Well according to this little article http://www.dailylush.com/archives/the_tale_of_the_tequila_worm.html

The worm has been deemed a necessary part of the food pyramid...Actual its just a marketing ploy, but not unhealthy....just the tequila that goes with it is!
