What do you drink when you have already drank too much

I always finish with a little Chartreuse or Amaro.

Yes! I knew I was not alone.

If sensible, water, if not, more wine, mostly red - “just one more glass”, which tends to result in me finding a near empty bottle in the fridge the next morning…

All you people replying either, “I never drink too much…”, “Water…” :partying_face: Not the thread for you.

I usually go and grab a low alcohol white of some sort which often relates to refreshing acidity. Rarely Champagne, not sure why, as I would think it would it would fit the bill nicely. I also really enjoy a good Bourbon as a cap to a fine evening.

If I have already had a lot to drink but I don’t want the evening to end, I will usually grab a bottle that if we don’t finish, I wouldn’t be too upset about the next morning.

Agreed. Poor word choice on my part. I normally just pop an Elio Sandri Dolcetto d’Alba that I get from Thatcher’s for $19

In past times (say a few years ago), it would have been something like a Petite Sirah. We had a tradition, well I did when I held events, to open one at the end of the evening to cap things off. However, my age has taken me over and I just can’t do the alcs anymore. And, to a large degree, so too can’t those who are at the table with me!

There should be a Lurker of the Year Award or Lurker Hall of Fame. Let’s celebrate those who lurk.

Now that’s a superb wine! And outstanding value as well. (I’m reserving all my bottles to be paired with pizza, though. :sweat_smile: )

Usually the cheapest thing i can find in the easily accessible wine fridge. at that point nobody cares what it is as long as it comes out of a wine bottle and looks like wine.

Until recently, it would have been Chartreuse, Drambuie or some amaro.
Now? A liter of coconut water, a tab of aspirin, then off to bed.

The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: drink, drank, drunk! :rofl:

I used to sell German wine.

I vividly but hazily remember a night in the Rheingau when I was invited to a cellar crawl. A grower I represented drove me (I could not have done it).
We started in a neighbor’s cellar with a Kabinett, proceeded to another for a Spatlese, back to my grower for an Auslese, next cellar a Beerenauslese. After a short pause, we went a few more miles for a Trockenbeerenauslese.
Sips. Reverence.
Then one of the growers yelled “Repair wine!”. Back to his place for a QbA Trocken.

In the winter, single malt scotch or, in the Rhone, marc de chateauneuf or gigondas. In the summer, it is one of the few times I love a cold glass of beer. It’s like having iced fizzy water or, as with Alfert, Champagne, which I also do to end new years.

He told me you can drink a whole bottle of Riesling yourself at lunch and still drive back to the office and finish your work day.

Welcome freakin’ back, @Vito_D !

Bourbon or grappa.

Well when the drinking is really on the move is to reach for whichever bottle is closest to me. Hopefully I can open it without incident.

Water is for fishes!!!

Should Wineberserkers try to attract more lurkers? Are we too intimidating for Those Who Peek?
