What are you like when you're drunk?

[Ransom]

[Jacky Tar]

Another? Are you talking about Tattoo the rum, or tattoo, ink on your bod? Didn't think you were sportin' any ink. Or is this virtual ink? **ice is beginning to melt**

Ransom would ye stand back luv, yer meltin' me ice!

O' course it be rum wit' champagne (a Ransom, Ray calls it); no ink on this bod.

I'm not overly fond of being drunk. I just don't like the headspinningworldwontstop feeling - as a result I've only been drunk 3 times in my life.

When I am drunk though I get kinda giggly but mostly I just want to cuddle

... or see some of the shots posted under the "RF2" thread under the "RAIDS" section here in the Pub. I think they speak for themselves.

I may be missing the point, but the WWII outfits look really cool!

I once dressed up as James Michener, circa WWII (a lieutenant commander in the Navy) for a presentation on the man.

Huh. When I was looking for his rank (which I forgot, even though I own the insignia required for the uniform), I found this: "John Ford's film Donovan's Reef (1963) was loosely based on Michener's 'The South Sea Story'" No wonder I like that movie! I'll have to go find that story and read it.

I get giddy and laugh even more than usual. Mr. H. (who is a teetotaller) says I'm a very "happy drunk".

However, if I have that enigmatic "one drink too many", I'm also a very up-chucky drunk -- which is far less "happy".

Strangest thing I've ever bought on-line while drunk -- a stick of green sealing wax.

Cheers, Hester

[JohnnyTarr]

how about frisky? Anyone else besides me?

[Red Cat Jenny]

Hmmm... well... I'm off tomorrow...

I'll let ya know what I'm like later..

Whoo!

[Cheeky Actress]

All right...saw this posting and was a bit reluctant to submit something, but now I say...what the heck!

First,

Happy Drunk! Everyone's Buddy and will make sure that everyone is having a grand time of it...unless...

Unless you give me Gin! Plymouth Gin is the worst for me, along with others in that top-shelf brand grouping.

I turn "witchy-poo mean"! So, no 7 & 7s, no gin and tonics for me.

I am happy with cider, ales, stouts and the like...

[flintlock jack]

Beer is an easy drink for me. 'Casual' may be of adequate descript, as my temper(a problem at tymes when sober)is extensively subdued when I'm consuming beer. Good tyme charley in some ways, definately more relaxed, surely less analytical and suspicious.

Rum, on the other hand, acts as a slight aphrodesiac. Hold on, my cell is ringing. It's the wife.

"Yes, Baby, I'll be sure to stop on the way and get more rum."

See what I mean?

[Hester]

Unless you give me Gin! ... I turn "witchy-poo mean"!

My m-i-l drinks gin. That explains a lot!

Cheers, Hester

[Matusalem]

Hester, may I suggest a Ramos Ginn Fizz?

This, I consider, is a must-have when I am in southwest Florida, which is where I'll be in a week and a half, since the drink is glorified by Lizabeth Scott in the 1947 film "Dead Reckoning" with Humphrey Bogart. The movie takes place in ficticious "Gulf City", which can only be somewhere between Ft Myers and Tampa. This film is in my top 5 faves.

The trick is to keep the egg white from foaming too much from the blender, otherwise you will be drinking just suds. It's kind of tricky, so mix slowly.

[Rusty Barrels]

Don't drink much anymore but I musta been good at it from what I heard.

[theM.A.dDogge]

the night before RF2 thingy....we set the mood staying up all night drynking rum, rum cake and getting TATTOOSS.....i went first.....then everyone fell asleep.....so drynkin rum? i 'll be sportin a new tat!

with dark beer...amiable all night.... and i mean all night... roudy talkitive

wine...philisophical roudy talkitive

whiskey...wrestlin the biggest one there... roudy and talkitive

rum...tatoos roudy and talkitive

absinthe...kissin the green fairy... roudy and talkitive

with light beer...well thats not really considered drynkin...is it?

[Caraccioli]

Say, what's absinthe like? I've always wondered.

[Matusalem]

Say, what's absinthe like? I've always wondered.

Absinthe, which is basically a spirit called wormwood. Absinthe is just a brand name. It comes in emerald green form, think Scope mouthwash at the potency of pure grain alcohol.

I tried it once on a new years eve in London a few years back. I bought it at a package/convenience store not far from Paddinton station, an the Pakistanis running the place looked at me with horror.

The truth is, the stuff is so potent but you can't feel the effects....which is a dangerous combination.

I'm sure others may have a story to tell, for it is a choice drink for rock stars.

[theM.A.dDogge]

if your going to try Absinthe for the first time...then you needs to do it right first go to a NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY had mine in GREECE it is a bit illegal to have in any english speaking country they have a version here now...but with small wormwood instead of the full potent one then you get a sugar cube drench it with absinthe light it on fire let the carmalized sugar drop into the drynk of absinthe and there ya go.....

now in greece you can get all the colors of the rainbow...not just green....

once youve had it ...you have been "kissed by the green fairy"... ...carmalizing the sugar mixed with teh wormwood...has a slight halucinagetic effect.... or so they say hence being illegal in all english speaking countries

but what does it taste like? uzo...black liccorice....the wormwood has such a strong taste they needs to cut it with something even stronger....hence the black liccorice flavor....dosent matter ifn you dont like black liccorice...for ye wont need much

as far as stories go?...well lets just say i felt like a rockstar!!!!

[Matusalem]

hence being illegal in all english speaking countries

Hmm, laws must've changed in the UK since '05....or the Absinthe is a diferent mix. I know that it is illegal in the US for sure.

I forgot about that bit with the flaming sugar cube, but that is the key.

This is a photo of Trafalgar Square that weekend

Incidentally I was in Gravesend Kent, and there was a plaque that stated that pirates were hung in gibbets at this location, along the Thames. Hopefully Mr. Foxe will see this message and comment:

[theM.A.dDogge]

actual wormwood Absinthe kind been illegal since early victorian era....small wormwood kind Absithe now sold here and there and everywhere...not as potent...or as fun but Absente brand does sell the "sugar spoon" with the box

[The Chapman]

I've been drinking this evening.

Beer, primarily.

What am I like? I prefer Ex-Yugo brandies and home-made firewaters. It doesn't feel like home, because that's not what I am, but it feels oh so solid.

With beer?

One to three: staring into space. Uncommunicative.

Four to twelve: Talkative, pleasant, informative, fun to be around, possibly some dancing given a co-operative female, singing, socialization, etc.

More than twelve: Run. No joke, run. The demons come out and they want to play. Your best bet is to get away. And they are not your normal little DisneyLand demons. Get gone; you don't believe me, really. Run.

[Yersinia Pestis]

I am a happy drunk. I am very friendly, laugh a lot, tell jokes, and everyone is a friend.

[Red Cat Jenny]

um.....not sober?

would invite Yersinia to a party and not worry about me dishes bein broken

[Jacky Tar]

would invite Yersinia to a party and not worry about me dishes bein broken

Ye can invite me too, luv. I'm a lot like Yersinia, except when the party is over, I'd stay an help ye clean up those dishes.

[Merrydeath]

hmmmmmmm... there are some here who can spill the navy beans and tell on me..

I get funny and dance weird, get a bit flirty and kick up my heels, and then I go to sleep. zzzzzzzz

[HildeKitten]

Same as when I'm sober because I don't drink
