reck, that song pops into my head at the most inopportune times.

I am a fan of both magners and woodpecker. They're not really alcopops, though.

Ellie - clinically speaking, anyone can meet the criteria for alcoholism.

the one i still have trouble finding is inca kola, which i had in peru. i've seen street vendors here with inca kola umbrellas, but they don't have the actual drink.

In NYC, you can buy beer anywhere, but you can only buy wine in a liquor store, except for some weird rule which allows $3 wine (such as chateau diana) to be sold in convenience stores and supermarkets. In union square, trader joe's goes around this rule by having a separate but adjacent wine store.

sugary alcohol drinks always make me feel more hungover the next day, as both my liver and pancreas are both working overtime.

@young pa - do not recommend hendricks' gimlet; the cucumber and lime do not go so great. with a tonic is nice, especially if you add a slice of cucumber instead of lime.

All of those except facebook are unblocked at my job. Weirdly, you can access facebook, but you get a warning screen saying something to the effect of, "you know we're monitoring your computer use, right? you sure you want to go to this site?"

At the same time that you do the "hands up, baby hands up, gimme your heart gimme gimme your heart…"

Sex acts?

I have never seen the mixed drinks in a can in the northeast or midatlantic…texas, I can believe that…aren't they the progenitors of the "near-beer?"

I occasionally wear a man-skirt, and I have to explain to people that the non-bifurcated garment is far more practical for a man's jumbly bits than for a woman's internal jumbly bits.

@Young Pa - nice on the Hendricks' love. Something about that gin makes it so much smoother than any other gin I've ever had.

@Push Back - I did that last "night before halloween." Went to a wedding, got smashed, got home at 6 AM, had to drive at 7AM completely drunk to go teach a class of college students at 8 AM. I brought a bag of candy, gave it to them, and told them to shut up.

So
Is this Wentz' way of making peace with the AVclub, or is the AVclub not practicing what Amelie preaches?

Try an $18 cocktail in new york, and you'll recognize what reasonably priced means.

Wacky Australians
I remember when I was there, you could also buy mixed drinks in a can, like a can of jack and coke or rum and coke. It was wild.

Chang has stomach acid where his blood is supposed to run.

I have a massive range of my typical drinks. When I go out to dinner, I usually have a martini (hendricks' when available, sapphire when not; dry, 2 olives, up) or a scotch on the rocks, then wine with dinner, and then either scotch or a sweet wine dessert.
