What will you be drinking on election night?

[Dem2TheCore]

I'm leaning toward Famous Grouse and Topo Chico. It's a multicultural drink of blended Scotch whiskey and Mexican mineral water. Delicious and medicinal.

[LiberalEsto]

1. Glass of water for my evening meds

and then going to sleep early with a pillow over my head.

I am sick of Campaign 2012 and can't wait for it to be over.

[catfish57]

9. Bourbon

Eagle Rare.... My favorite

[Not Me]

31. Bourbon also.

Angel's Envy.

[Warpy]

55. I'm a night owl

but I'll be watching DVDs and maybe I'll check in at 2:30 AM Wednesday when I'm getting ready to pad off to bed. Maybe not. I likely won't be doing much online since most sites will be overloaded and I loathe election night television.

[get the red out]

2. Coke Zero

Or maybe herbal tea or water if I'm really good. It's best for society I don't drink anything harder, LOL.

[stuntcat]

3. cheap champagne I'm about to go buy at Target

hiccup

[trayfoot]

40. AMEN!

[rbixby]

4. I'm not sure yet, but there's going to be a lot of it

Elections stress me out to no end, and then I'm either going to need to be celebrating or drowning my sorrows (I'm feeling pretty good about the celebrating part, as opposed to the sorrows part though)

[lonestarnot]

5. Coffee w sugar and cream!

[Dem2TheCore]

7. Me + Caffein + Presidential election night =

Broken TV!

[lonestarnot]

13. I busted one once. Bushitler years. Simmer down now.

[RepublicansRZombies]

63. me too, coffee-black- I want to be alert, we need to catch them in the act

You know these bastards are up to something.

They would just love it if we all got wasted, passed out and woke up to a Romney victory!

[lonestarnot]

92. No shit! I'm waiting to see if I need to throw on my coat and get my ass to Ohio!

[GETTINGTIRED]

6. Baileys Irish Cream

Savored ever so sloooooowly......

[JimGinPA]

28. I Make A great Drink With Bailey's...

Equal parts Bailey's, Chambord (Black Raspberry Liqueur) & Crème de banana, shaken over ice & strained into shooters. Very tasty & mellow.

[GETTINGTIRED]

100. that sounds

Inviting ...might have to try that ...thank you

[sufrommich]

8. Pepto Bismol, at least until the polls close.nt

[faithfulcitizen]

61. lol!

[malaise]

136. DUzy

[fredamae]

10. Probably the usual-water

However, I may splurge and have a good Micro-Brew to celebrate or down a bottle of JD in sorrow

[Jennicut]

11. Well, I have leftover beer from the Halloween party in my fridge.

I really shouldn't drink being a type 1 diabetic. Alcohol causes low blood sugar believe it or not, your liver works overtime when you drink and are diabetic. But what the hell. If President Obama takes it, I am having one beer. Even if it is Bud Light Platinum. I blame that on my brother who brought the beer over here Halloween night.

[LancetChick]

41. I'm a type 1 and a wino (sort of).

I LOVE wine, but don't usually drink during the week. Tomorrow will be an exception. There's a real learning curve when it comes to mixing alcohol and insulin, but it's totally surmountable. Everyone is different in how they respond, but for me, I generally decrease my basal dose by a couple of units on wino nights. If I continue the next night, I may need to decrease it further. If you're really not a drinker, it may not be worth the trouble to figure it out, but I just want you to know that with type 1, where there's a will there's a way. (Type 1 for 25 years).

[Jennicut]

51. Thanks. I have been Type 1 for 7 years.

I got diagnosed kind of late, at 29. I was pregnant with my second daughter and it never went away. Thought it was gestational diabetes at first. Lots of testing done after that.

I have had issues in the past but I think lowering the Lantus amount helps. I do that for when I go on a big hike or do any major physical activity. I have learned the hard way. Had a hypo incident on a big hike with my husband over the summer. But I always take food and glucose tablets with me everywhere I go. Even walking around a corn maze for an hour with my kids this October left me with blood sugar in the 50's.

Nice to talk to a fellow type 1 on DU!

[sharp_stick]

12. Bourbon as soon as the polls close

I have a strange attraction to Wild Turkey 101 in a Manhattan.

[mnhtnbb]

23. Oooh, I love Brandy Manhattans. If I have more than 1 I'll be on the floor, though.

[ben_thayer]

14. HEAVILY... nt

[Loki]

26. Amen to that!

[liberal_at_heart]

15. same as every other night; sweet tea

[Dem2TheCore]

18. Careful, that stuff is dangerous

[aptsongs]

16. Apple Cidar!

What? It's a great drink!!

[Tribetime]

17. Great Lakes-Dortmunder Gold

[Trailrider1951]

19. Oh, probably water, until Rmoney concedes

then I'll open the champagne!

[JimGinPA]

20. Jose Cuervo Especial Gold

Tequila Sunrises (light on the Grenadine). I'm going to sip because I expect a long, ultimately enjoyable evening.

[pinboy3niner]

21. I'll be on coffee as I follow the returns...

And I'll be on Jameson when they call it for Obama.

[TNProfessor]

22. Obama 44 Hennessy

The Hubby and I purchased the special edition Obama 44 Hennessy four years ago after he won. We said we would drink it when he won re-election.

[mnhtnbb]

24. Very fun!

[SaveAmerica]

35. Sweet!

[Change has come]

111. Nice!

[Rose Siding]

25. Coffee!!! cuz I'm working at a Voting Center for King County, WA until the last voter in line votes

We're an all mail state but the county has 5 Accessible Voting Centers and we've been open since Friday. Anyone who didn't get a ballot or lost it can vote, as well as those who need audio ballots or other physical assistance.

I can't BELIEVE I won't be able to get regular updates. We can't even talk about it.

The first time these centers were used was 2010 and some didn't close out until 1am.

[Dem2TheCore]

30. Keep up the good work!

[RepublicansRZombies]

65. excellent

Thank you!

[jwirr]

27. I'm taking home-made wine to my daughter's house.

[Dem2TheCore]

29. What kind of wine?

My grandfather used to make homemade wines and peach brandy. I have strong memories of fermenting peach smells coming from the hall closet in my grandparents' house.

[nickinSTL]

32. Probably Dr. Pepper and/or water

I guess I could probably convince my wife to share a Sam Adams Norse Legend- I don't drink, but that's a beer I could actually drink. She does drink and likes it too, so...maybe.

But, I'm not too likely to drive 12 miles to a store that sells it to spend $6 for a 22 oz. bottle...

[MrYikes]

33. I'll be drinking out of a brown bottle,

IBC root beer.

[SaveAmerica]

34. Sparkling Wine

[Atman]

36. Kool Aid

At least, up until I see some REAL results, then I'll break out the Champagne.

[Dem2TheCore]

39. The winner is Atman!

[shanti]

37. imbibing?

[Voltaire]

38. The Famous Grouse

I bought a half gallon on the day I voted a few weeks ago. Just for when we get over 270.

[NightWatcher]

42. starting with Terrapin Hopsecutioner (beer), toasting with Glenfiddich single malt scotch

[WhollyHeretic]

43. I'm going to the store on my lunch break to get some beer. Not sure what I'm getting yet

I'll probably chill the champagne we have at home too.

[nadinbrzezinski]

44. Coffee

[BeeBee]

45. American Sparkling Wine! n/t

[ecstatic]

46. crystal light

despite all the dangers...

[H2O Man]

47. Mainly water and ice tea.

I serve as the designated driver for many of the people who will be partying here at my house. Still, I'll likely have a dark beer during the celebration. And, after my driving duties are complete, I may have a second one.

[longship]

48. I am thinking that Mahattans would do just fine.

2 oz Bourbon (I like Old Taylor)
1 oz sweet Italian Vermouth
Dash of Angorastura bitters.

Stir with ice for a good half minute. Never shake!!

Put garnish into a martini glass and strain drink over the garnish.

Traditional garnish is a maraschino cherry (hopefully with a stem). Dirty Manhattan has a dash of maraschino juice before pouring.

Best to make them in batches in a small pitcher. Also, the colder, the better. Keep bourbon in freezer; keep vermouth in fridge.

Skäl!

[Geoff R. Casavant]

49. Amontillado

I'll be working on a screenplay at the time, and I'll need some inspiration.

[Art_from_Ark]

86. Just don't follow Montresor to his wine cellar to get it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cask_of_Amontillado

[Care Acutely]

50. We are getting a bottle of Austi for the moment they call it, but haven't

decided on a sipping drink yet. Will be looking at suggestions in this thread. We both took Wednesday off

[cliffordu]

52. Probably a nice cabernet

for lunch and vodka straight out of the freezer for the rest of the carnage.

Mebbe a red beed for breakfast.

My training diet.

[babylonsister]

76. Oh, that made me laugh!

[cliffordu]

88. Ad you think I'm kidding........

[babylonsister]

89. Got straws?!

I'll be watching for ya!

[cliffordu]

119. Yep!!

You've done an amazing thing around here, Sister - you kept the faith when SO many here lost it.

I am always your friend -

c

[babylonsister]

120. Awww, that's

so sweet of you. I had no alternative, and didn't want one!

[FrodosPet]

53. Cherry Kool-Aid

I know there's irony, not to mention processed sugar, but the water around here tastes too bad to drink unflavored. Not to mention that and a box of Bigelow Earl Grey is all I can afford until sometime next year.

[Coexist]

54. The Balvenie Doublewood

my fave

[opiate69]

62. Very nice! My budget doesn`t allow for that at the moment, alas.

Though I might be able to swing a bottle of Aberlour 12 year.

[Coexist]

74. mmmmm

enjoy

[RedSpartan]

56. A big 'ol glass of smug satisfaction.

[WinkyDink]

57. VICTORY BEER from Downingtown, PA!

[subterranean]

101. Good choice!

That's my election night beverage too. I've got a six of Prima Pils in the fridge for when Obama is declared the winner.

[WinkyDink]

125. I've not tried the brand before, but hey---Could I resist?!

[outsideworld]

58. sparkling non alcoholic wine

[RebelOne]

59. Almaden Mountain Chablis wine. n/t

[opiate69]

60. Some whiskey I aged myself from Woodinville Whiskey Co.

I bought the kit in June, barreled it for 4 months and now it`s damned tasty

[gkhouston]

64. The blood of my enemies! Muwahahahahaha! n/t

[Dem2TheCore]

73. FTW!

[gkhouston]

75. Sorry. I was an Evil Overlord for Halloween and can't seem to get the mask off.

Never. Going. As. Romney. Again.

[faithfulcitizen]

66. I dunno, but I think it should be blue- Blue Hawaiians perhaps!!

[marions ghost]

67. Champagne for Obama win

Drano for Rmoney win.

(jus kiddin. Obama's gonna win).

[a la izquierda]

68. Prosecco.

Last time around, it was tequila...and I still have a hard time just smelling the stuff.

[ananda]

70. Damm straight!

Wine and ginger ale!

[hrmjustin]

72. Brunello di Montelcino, Sesti by preference

Or probably a cheaper but acceptable sangiovese.

orrrr... a whiskey manhattan with four cherries.

[Raine]

77. Sangria nt

[Dem2TheCore]

78. Recipe?

[Raine]

81. I wish but I just buy it premade and throw in some fruit like oranges slices etc. nt

[Coexist]

90. I like to soak fruit in triple sec overnight

and add that to fruity red wine with a little orange juice and brandy.

[Dem2TheCore]

114. Absolute genius! I must try this!

[Care Acutely]

121. YUM. I like that idea!

[RagAss]

79. Stolichnaya !!!!!

[rppper]

80. Hot coffee....kona dark roast....and mango crypy!

Should keep my frayed nerves in check....

[Dem2TheCore]

83. I can smell those buds just from that picture!

[rppper]

139. Lol...and this evening is going more mellow

...than I expected to boot.....

[trof]

82. Ice water. Marinated in a liberal (pun intended) dose of Scotch.

[PlanetBev]

84. Cheap Zinfandel and pumpkin beer

Bad combo, I know, but I'm nervous as hell.

[warrprayer]

85. the wonderful taste

of republican tears

[WillyT]

87. Gibson Martinis... Several Of Them...

[Vattel]

91. Tequila, como siempre.

Since Obama is gonna win and, more importantly, Romney is gonna lose, I will make a margarita and some guacamole and party!

[Redford]

93. Well shit, I already started! Chardonnay and then Champagne!

and I will have the Edwin Hawkins Singers on repeat singing OH HAPPY DAY!

[MotorCityMan]

94. Vodka

Same as it ever was

[mile18blister]

95. Tab

Yes, it's still around.

[Faux pas]

[DCBob]

99. I gonna get a bottle of nice champagne for the big wins..

VA, OH, FL, IA, WI, PA, CO,.. etc.

[MrSlayer]

102. The tears of Republicans.

Crying like the punks they are.

[MichDem10]

103. As Homer Simpsom would say... Mmmmmmm... Beer!

[eqfan592]

104. I wish I could drink, but this is my wifes peak time right now..

...and we're trying to have our first. Alcohol lowers sperm count, thus I'm cut off this week. But hey, it's totally worth it!

So I'll probably be drinking a glass of milk

[Dem2TheCore]

112. Getting drunk is what got all the girls pregnant in high school. I say give it a shot!

[eqfan592]

115. lol, whats funny is that is what several of my family members experienced as well

Could never get pregnant until they were drunk, then it worked fine! I guess we're taking a more scientific approach to it, but hell, maybe I'll try and sell her on this idea.

[Dem2TheCore]

117. On serious note, good luck and all the best!

[ConnorMarc]

105. I'm drinking Rum and Red Bull....

[actslikeacarrot]

106. white russians

Got a TON of Vladimir Vodka left over from a party I had a while back, gotta use it up somehow!

[LadyHawkAZ]

107. Riesling

I also have a small bottle of victory champagne.

On the off chance of a Romney win (shudder) I have a full bottle of vodka, a full bottle of Captain and a mostly full bottle of tequila.

[LongTomH]

108. I may have a beer at the watch party; but, I'm not popping the champagne cork until morning!

Champagne, scrambled eggs and English muffins!

[politicat]

109. Hendricks gin and fever water bitter lemon or tonic. Possibly cucumber soda instead.

St Germain champagne cocktails when Colorado is called. No matter what happens in Colorado, it will be bittersweet. If our marijuana legalization passes, that's fabulous for the state and the country, but terrible for me personally. If it fails, I will be very disappointed, but personally quite relieved.

I expect my liver to sue for divorce Wednesday morning.

[agentS]

110. Tiger Beer (thailand)

[fadedrose]

113. Do you mean if we win or lose?

Quite a bit if we lose - hardly anything if we win.

Mental, gees, what's that word for ecstacy...been so long I forgot....I got it, mental orgasms for the ladies....

[Dem2TheCore]

118. Win, lose, or whatever gets you through the night.

[cecilfirefox]

116. New Amsterdamn vodka, if I feel so inclined to celebrate that way. ;) nt

[Hekate]

122. The Glenlivet

The Glenlivet Scotch whiskey
or maybe Jameson's Irish



Hekate

[LAGC]

123. I'll be cheating on my diet and drinking RC Cola.

Special occasion.

[AsahinaKimi]

124. MAYBE this...

[Dem2TheCore]

129. Chinese beer? The irony!

[AsahinaKimi]

130. Well its not bad!

My second choice is Asahi, but I will tell you why I chose Tsingtao.

First of all the bottle is smaller..


The Can of Asahi in the fridge looks like those cans you use to fill your car up with oil.. I bet there are at least two bottles worth of beer in there. Of course Asahi is meant to be shared...so no wonder its so big. I don't think I could handle that much beer, and putting it back in the fridge..it would only go flat. So.. Next time I have someone over.. it will be with Asahi..



and in the meantime, I will stick with the single bottle of Tsingtao.

[Dem2TheCore]

131. Both are delicious beers.

I just think it's ironic given the attention to China this political season.

[MrsBrady]

126. too much, probably

it'll be

and

followed by to make it to work on Wednesday

but I'll still be for Obama

[union_maid]

127. Pepto-Bismol?

Win easily or win in a tight race - these knots in the stomach are not going to undo themselves.

[modem77]

128. Republican tears.

[lonestarnot]

132. I've already started!

[mikeytherat]

133. Neoconservative Tears

mikey_the_rat

[bermudat]

134. Stoli

[malaise]

135. We are drinking white wine - that old favorite of the politically incorrect

Blue Nun

[Whisp]

137. probably some beer, maybe a lot of beer

to celebrate.

[SammyWinstonJack]

138. Don't know. Silly me, but are the liquor stores open on election day in Tx?

If so, I'll pick something up, if not .
