Drink bathtub gin when you can,
Jack Daniels and Snuff when you can't.
Cheers.

Last night during the show recording, we had ourselves a very fine bottle of Port. Cockburn's Fine Ruby Porto from Portugal. Real smooth one there. Still, I like my home states Wollersheim's port better. Real hearty.
Of course, after discussing the Cockburn's Port, and it was the Equinox, a holiday to us, I had to play Spring Song by Bruce Cockburn. It fit perfectly.

This was a favorite of Charlie Parker's, too.
You were in the company of genius FL,

Does Laphroaig sell branch water? that's the only thing I'd consider adding to that. Anything else is blasphemy for a scotch you're paying $65 for.
As for all these liquors that you drink with coke or 7up or whatever - I never understood that. Is that to choke it down because it sucks so bad in its plain state? ;)

Worked with a guy that would drink a quart of the American Classic Thunderbird at lunch building mobile homes. The quality was built in-no one said what level of quality.
Cool and refreshing Thunderbird wine.

As I was finishing up mopping the kitchen floor....I noticed it was well past noon...And right there on the counter, within reach... a bottle of Carlo Rossi Chianti. Oh sure it is not the best, it might not even be anygood at all, but over forty days of waiting. It was like the nectar of (low level) kings. It sure is several steps ahead of Thunderbird.
As mjp says: The maximum fucking up for your dollar. Well Carlo Rossi spares you some of the rot gut.
So if I may quote the late great James Brown " I FEEL GOOD" then tomorrow I just may wake up in a cold sweat.

When I was a teenager I had a job at a liquor store stocking shelves and cleaning up at night. The two big wino drinks were Thunderbird and Night Train. Ripple was too pricey.
Don't remember if I ever actually tried them. Don't think that I would want to.
Do they even make Night Train anymore?

Night Train Express.
17.5% alc. by vol.
Ahhh.
Finest kind.
Add Pepsi with a twist of Lemon and call it a
Sleeper Car.
Another fine wine (See Thunderbird above)
from Ernest and Julio Gallo. I love those boys.
They also make Black Swan.
A drinking buddy of mine used to crumble a little
seltzer in it, and called the mix a hobo cocktail.
Drink up. He'd say. It will cause a headache and
cure it at the same time.
Good times.
Still available. Or just buy some bleach and throw
in purple Food coloring. Same thing.
Night Train Express Fortified, is still available.

When I was in my early 20s I became fond of mixing cream with scotch. Didn't drink it for breakfast, but I drank a bunch of it and had the rubber tire to prove it. I dubbed the mixture of cream and scotch "Crotch," but a bartender's guide told me that it was called "Blood and Sand."
Right now, I have a bunch of great red wine to drink, but perversely I've been drinking an India Pale Ale called Longhammer. I'm also interested in hoochmonkey's idea of drinking when you're flush versus when the wolf is at your door. Love the cognac and the expensive old red wines, but when the chips are down:
Hooch is right, the South American wines are the best buys around. If you can find Falling Star in your area, you can't beat it: Merlot/Malbec or Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon for $5.99 a bottle, screwcap. And if you want the best cheap brandy anywhere, go for a French item called Jacques Cardin. Eight bucks a bottle and it doesn't have that nasty vanilla aftertaste that all the American brandies have.
More later. Gerard just pointed me toward this thread and I was grateful and felt obligated to throw in my one cent's worth.

Harry, I'll keep an eye out for Falling Star.
thanks for the tip.

WD40 works great as a pain reliever, I've found.
I have a pretty bad back sometimes, and rubbing
WD40 on it works when nothing else will.
Weird but true, and I can't imagine the health
hazards. . .
When I read that first time, I thought it said you mixed MD20/20 into a screwdriver. I thought that was odd, but WD40? That's really odd. :D
Stay away from the anti-freeze.
3-5 drops off of the index finger.
The good wife and I considered opening an internet business selling source water from the major distilleries in Scotland. A very high-end market and a great deal of red tape actually obtaining said water. So there it is, if anyone wants to steal our idea.
Very good stuff. Like Tupelo honey that gets ya messed up. A very differnet taste, but fantastic, is Lagavulin. Like drinking a peaty bonfire.
The main constituent of WD40 is mineral spirits, which is a moderately light petroleum fraction. It likely contains many of the same petroleum constituents as gasoline, although mineral spirits does not have the aromatic fraction that is found in gasoline (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, naphthalenes). So it is mainly aliphatic hydrocarbons plus some other proprietary ingredients.
An old boss of mine said that it contains dichloromethane, although I have been unabel to confirm that.
My advice: spray it on a rusted bolt, not on your skin or in your drink. But hey, that's just me.:)
