(61,894 posts)Cline Pinot Noir, a Provence Rose, and a spanish Rose brut Cava. Five for dinner - two daughters, one of their friends, wife and I - that should do us fine!

(14 posts)... makes it all just a little better. Woodford Reserve will do the trick. Made election night a helluva shindig too!

(4,734 posts). I was in peak condition then from the years of training. Since then I have spent a lot of time on the floor watching the room spin, listening to Chimpys latest adventures on NPR. (until '08.) I put on over 100 lbs and started losing circulation to my feet. There's a time for everything, including a time to wake up and smell the coffee.
Hoops, I want to thank you for being a total non snob, friendly and funny lodge dweller. You are way too hard on yourself at times.

Denninmi
(6,581 posts)I never have, at all. Tasted wine once as a kid, and champagne once at a wedding at the insistence of the mother of the groom. I didn't like it either time.
My family has a thing against alcohol since my uncle the cop was hit by a drunk driver head on at high speed, and lingered in agony in ICU for two plus weeks until he died, leaving a wife and five children. Drunk got some cuts and bruises. And just a light sentence, this was 40 some years ago.
glacierbay
(2,477 posts)even if I didn't have to work, I wouldn't be drinking, I've seen too many times what drinking and driving does.
You have a good Thanksgiving day and stay safe.
HopeHoops
(47,675 posts)The body naturally tenses up before an impending impact. Drunks don't do that. You get fewer injuries if your body is limp on impact. That's pretty much why they are the survivors.
glacierbay
(2,477 posts)I've responded to a report of an accident on I-70 or I-44, or I-55 and found absolute carnage where the innocent victim was deceased and the suspected DUI was still alive.
Fucked up shit.
riderinthestorm
(23,272 posts)Hope you have a Thanksgiving surrounded by folks you love.
riderinthestorm
(23,272 posts)And since everyone who comes for dinner (14 at our table!) also heads out and helps with the work, I can structure it so we all stay safe. I will send the kids up the ladders for hay and take the easy tasks for those of us who have imbibed (water the horses and scoop grain).
glacierbay
(2,477 posts)so hopefully the drunks will stay home and I'll have a slow night, which won't bother me in the least.

(13,661 posts)we don't drink much.
Just vodka or gin on very rare occasions, and then only at home. Oh, or, sometimes a margarita if I can find one that actually has some tequila in it.

(30,994 posts)getting drunk during holidays is for amateurs and organ donors.
If ya wanna be a pro, ya gotta train like you want to play.

(441 posts)Working all day. Then another shift Friday.
And no, it's not Black Friday stupidity and somebody does need to do it.

(56,877 posts)I will share for toasting but they don't really like it so I might PUI tomorrow.

(21,484 posts)I won't know until Friday at 5:00 AM whether I am having surgery.
Long fucking story.
Cheers, though, everyone!
