Has anyone started drinking yet??

[leftofthestorm]

I will wait till you tell me to go.

[PJMcK]

1. I haven't stopped since November 2016!

Just kidding. I'm waiting until dinner tomorrow. Then I'll pull out the good stuff.

[zackymilly]

6. I bought some $3 vodka just in case rump cheats his way back. He's not worth the good stuff. nt

[Chainfire]

21. $3.00 vodka serves better with a wick and a lighter, than for human consumption.

So, did you buy it to drink, or are we going to have to start calling you Zackymilly Molotov? (that does have a good ring)

If I drank, I would tie one on tomorrow and have my wife wake me with the results. Of course, if I still drank, I might wake to find myself some distance from my home, in a ditch, surrounded by my humble belongings.

[zackymilly]

27. I initially bought it to put a sick pet fish to sleep, but i have enough left for rump. n/t

[Chainfire]

58. So let me get this straight,

You have a fish that has to drink itself to sleep? I had a Father like that.

[zackymilly]

61. I have fish tanks, and a very old Cichlid that had a disease that couldn't be cured.

The most humane way to euthanize a fish is to slowly add vodka to a container of water they are in. They will eventually pass out and drown. Either that or flush or trash them, or slam them on a table, which I don't do. I had this fish for over 10 years.
I did find out that some fish keepers put their dead fish in the freezer indefinitely. Why? I don't know....

[MuseRider]

[LizBeth]

7. I would like to wait til four but I can be convinced to start at three, lol.

I have a couple glasses wine early then eat dinner a little later. Not a late night party'er.

[LizBeth]

11. I havent changed clock back an hour so they are showing almost 4:00. Lol

[Arkansas Granny]

8. No, but my sister, who hasn't had a drink in years, says she's ready

to throw a good drunk.

[wryter2000]

9. No more than usual

The good Scotch is for tomorrow.

[MizLibby]

[FormerWIRepub]

13. Soon

I have butterflies like I did in high school before playing in a state tournament hockey game...and it’s only Monday. I’m currently home with Covid (albeit mild) but there is no doubt I’m still gonna have to mix some cocktails tomorrow.

I’m from Wisconsin after all.

[Eyeball_Kid]

14. I bought a fifth of

Knob Creek bourbon especially for election night. Sipping whiskey. I’ll take a few tastes with every state that goes for Biden. I’ll cheer when Rachel tells us that it’s all over. It’s coming, folks.

[es466]

22. Same here! I love Knob Creek!

[sakabatou]

15. It's too early in the day

[Baitball Blogger]

16. We have two possible drinks on the menu for tomorrow night.

Margaritas, to throw our noses at Trump.

And Kahlua to make some White Russians.

[electric_blue68]

37. Love Kahlua...

When I could drink (mild social drinker) white & black Russians were some of my go to's. Piña Coladas. Champagne at events. White & rosé wines. It was fun.

[dweller]

17. 4.Damn.Long.Years.Ago

you have some serious catchup to go ..

yeh I said go ..

✌🏻

[leftofthestorm]

29. k

that is what I needed.

[Totally Tunsie]

45. Did somebody say "catchup"?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/catchup

catchup noun (1)
catch·​up | ˈke-chəp , ˈka-
less common spelling of KETCHUP
: a seasoned pureed condiment usually made from tomatoes

[dweller]

51. spellcheck offered a -

but I was not into hyphenation ... and if ketchup is ‘usually’ made from tomatoes,
what is it unusually made from?
🤔

✌🏻

[soothsayer]

18. Currently on whiskey sours

Might move to sazeracs tomorrow.

[electric_blue68]

19. Can't drink...

meds. Oh, I'm allowed like about 2 inches of wine champagne, and 1/2 inch of hard stuff. So no buzz.
Love white, rosé, and champagne! Like taste of cognac, and bourbon.

Have one for me! 😁👍

[jcgoldie]

20. 4 years ago

Almost to the day..

[leftofthestorm]

30. Really?

Congratulations.

[Blue Owl]

23. Yes.

[Chainfire]

24. As a Navy vet I am declaring the sun is over the yardarm at sunrise tomorrow!

May the sidewalk not fly up and hit you in the face.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

25. Not going to be doing any drinking for a while

I'm purposefully not doing it since I feel like drinking alcohol isn't a good thing for me. It is bad for both my mental and physical health. I've been staying away from it recently and I feel like I'm doing way better without it. I tend to have worse anxiety/depression in the days after drinking.

[CTyankee]

47. Me, neither. I stopped over a year ago because it was making me literally sick.

I had no idea of what was happening to me. I blood test revealed my liver enzymes were out of whack and alcohol was the culprit. So I just stopped my nightly wine drinking, which I had enjoyed for so long. I noticed how much better I feel in the mornings now and I handle adversity better, too.

I discovered that there was such a thing as alcohol free Merlot made by F.R.E. that has had the alcohol removed, so you get the taste of Merlot but without the harmful effect that the alcohol adds. I have a glass or two with my dinner each evening. And no intestinal distress.

[Dream Girl]

26. Yet?

[BlueNProud]

28. Sober since Feb 2020.

Decided it was not the way to deal with fear and anxiety.

[leftofthestorm]

32. Good for you

I will drink yours

[moonscape]

40. Congratulations. I have had a lifelong refusal

to drink alone, keeping it to modest social, but the pandemic and 45 broke me. For the first time I have wine with dinner, alone, and am enjoying it! But if I start to drink more than 1-2 glasses (it's 80% of the time 1) then I'll know it's really (really) not a good thing.

Good on you for making the decision.

[BlueNProud]

53. Whatever works. There's no one size fits all.

[Brainfodder]

31. Nah, but high AF instead.

The high you want to battle depression, that's where I am, no anger, at peace, no delusions, seeing the truth, waiting for others to catch up!

Some of ya'll are just impossibly stupid, not even the birth defect kind, that I can excuse, my one special relative is anti-trump, and yeah she is 50, and votes!

Now in that age bracket where no one wants ya and no end support yet available, this is not mentioned much, check on people you know 50-64, we are hurting too!

I know of at least 1 suicide of a high school classmate, but it was after another, his best friend got killed by a drunk driver.

But yeah this fucking nightmare needs to end ASAP!

Mental health services in bulk will be NEEDED!

If we have any health service pros even left?

Covid-19 doesn't stop Nov. 4th.



I remain furious.

[Bengus81]

33. No...but I'm going to put my dancing shoes on in a couple of days

[pfitz59]

34. I have to work tonight, but

I have two (legal) joints and a box of Zinfandel. And the next two days off. I'll either drink in exultation, or toke in sadness. Either way I'm aiming for an altered state.

[onethatcares]

35. but its for the Bucs game tonite

I have a separate bottle of vodka for tomorrow nite.

[peggysue2]

36. I have my wine chilling for dinner and spiced rum to top off the evening

That's about as crazy as I get.

[leftofthestorm]

38. Well I probably won't sleep for the next two days...so anxious....

I have my flower and Smirnoff to take the edge off.....

[handmade34]

41. yet?

4 years ago tomorrow

[Amishman]

42. Sure! Picked up a case of Blithering Idiot barleywine

In honor of our president.

I like it a lot more than I like him.

[MustLoveBeagles]

43. I've had three glasses of wine today

I'll be drinking more tomorrow.

[EarthFirst]

44. No; however I did take an Ambien tonight...

I rarely take a sleep aid; however it’s the only way I’m going to rest this evening.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

46. Yes, Colombian coffee with italian sweet cream.

[llmart]

48. Not much of a drinker but...

I have my flag ready to put out as soon as it's called for Biden! I haven't flown my flag for several years but I'll be damned if I'm going to let the right wing nutjobs co-opt OUR flag for themselves. I'm sure all of my neighbors will understand why I have a flag out for the first time. I don't even have to say a thing and we aren't allowed campaign or any other kind of signs in our neighborhood, so this way I'll be sending the signal that I was all in for Biden/Harris.

[ellie]

49. Not yet.

I have to work tomorrow and I have a lot to do. But after work, look out!

[irisblue]

50. Fizzy water with lime

[Vivienne235729]

54. I have my super boozy egg nog that goes wonderfully in my coffee.

It is costco's brand. It is the best.

[Captain Stern]

55. Good god, man. It's not even seven in the morning here yet.

But, yes.

[DFW]

56. Constant Comment tea sweetened with Turkish apricot marmalade

That's about as daring as I get, though I still have one bottle left of Ramseier Süssmost that I brought back from Switzerland last time I was down there (last week, so I'm almost out).

According to my dad, I am still too young to appreciate alcohol, so I don't drink it. When I was about 7 (a little over 60 years ago), he was having some friends over, and they were drinking all sorts of stuff I wasn't familiar with. When I asked what it was, he started using words I didn't know. Whiskey, Beer, Wine, Bourbon, Gin, Scotch (which I only knew as a tape to keep pieces of paper together). He said, here, try it. I was horrified at the taste of all of them, and he and his pals all laughed. They explained that when I was old enough, I would like all that stuff, too. Well, I STILL hate the taste of all of it, so I am obviously not yet old enough. Genetic defect, or something.

[Owl]

57. Coffee, and lots of it!

[FakeNoose]

59. Not yet because it's going to be a long night

I don't think the winner - Biden! - will be called until after midnight.

So I want to hold off on the alcohol until we get closer to the main event.

[Aristus]

60. I'm not touching a drop until Trump concedes.
