Do you drink when you listen?


I love to have a drink when I listen to the music. It helps me to concentrate well. I love Black Label Whiskey or Courvosier. A good import beer preferably belgium will also do.

Hey, Clueless -- just use my name as a reference if you still want to join the Society. Hell, we admit anybody as long as they have the money (grin). 4 readers have contacted me to get the info on how to join the Society, so I decided to post it here for anyone who is interested.

As you will see if you access their Web site, there is a membership fee, but the initial fee includes an introductory 750 ml bottle of whisky. I have found the bottlings offered by the Society to be extraordinary. And, if you ever get to Edinburgh, Scotland, the Society has its own small hotel for members which includes a private bar with REALLY special Scotch whisky.

In addition to offering limited edition bottlings, the Society also sponsors "tasting" evenings annually throughout the U.S. I attended the one in Seattle two years ago and had a terrific evening.

The U.S. office for the Society is located in Sunrise, Florida. Here is the contact info:

A glass of wine - MUST be RED! It can really add to the mood and experience. Diana Krall never sounded SO good (as she does after a glass or two) :) ...Give me a Shiraz or Shiraz/Cab - thanks. ...The Aussie's have gotten really good at producing some quality vintages.

Anyone ever tried Absinthe? ...Not that anyone would want the after effects, but it sort of bridges the gap between smoke and drink.

Here in Toronto Absinthe is supposedly legal and available (again) – in very diluted form through the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario). This stuff (at full strength) is supposed to give a hallucinogenic buzz (Served warm - poured over sugar cubes) …BUT it’s also supposed to kick like a mule the next day - credited with a guaranteed hangover from hell. …Still interested? …this is the stuff Vincent Van Goh was supposed to have been drinking when he cut his ear off.

As for Pot, yeah its good, but I hate what smoking does to my lungs. ...Ever try aerobic activity after an 'indulgence'? I always wonder what in the hell I was thinking when the fattie was passed my way.

I’m also in agreement with the statements about pot & legality. …But if you were Anheizer-Bush or Phillip Morris you’d lobby against pot too – who do you think funds the ‘War on drugs”? …Think of the revenue losses the Alcohol and Tobacco industries would lose if pot were legal. You can grow pot at home – but a still, beer , or wine… now that takes a little more effort.

Awdeeofyle, I share the same theory as you stated. The tobacco and alcohol industries want to continue their monopolies as the only legal 'stimulants'.
Certainly, if drugs were legal/illigal based solely on 'public safety' issues, these two killers would be out of business.

Awdeeofyle- Agreed that Absinth is weird stuff, try Ricard or Pernod-the later being my favorite liquer, gives a buz unlike any other booze I've ever drank, I can only imagine what absinth did to those who crossed its path. I love ordering a Pernod and Cranberry draws some unusual looks from those tending the bar, but a super drink.

Cheers,

I just heard this, though of this thread...

Oh it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growing up fast
Drinking on a fake ID
And rama of the jungle was everyone's bawana
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana
