I've hit a new low...

[zooom]

when I run out of beer, my emergency provision is a 6 pack of Miller Lite that I keep mostly moreso for cooking more than anything...or the occasional cheap beer drinker visitor.

I ran out of beer a couple days ago. No drinking for me. I will maybe be able to buy more on Friday.

Good way to loose a couple of pounds.

Perhaps what's more disturbing than the act of running out of beer is the fact that there was a pina colada wine cooler on your property.

I blame the wife

One night many years ago in a Moscow artists' apartment we'd drunk up all the vodka. One of us had brought along some Azerbaijani porter that came from the oil-producing region around Baku - when we opened one of the bottles, it perfumed the room with the distinct odor of raw crude. We drank it anyway. Then we drank up the Russian cognac (really, the story could stop right there with "so desperate I drank Russian cognac," but it doesn't).

Just when it seemed we'd finished off everything host & guests could provide, someone found a 2-liter wine bottle on a back shelf that was dusty, stale and about 3/4 full. It tasted pretty funky, but we weren't very choosy at that point. Before it was gone, I swam up through the haze and looked closer at the bottle. Sounding out the Cyrillic lettering, I started to put it together. "Fer... Fer... Moot. Fer... Moot. Fermoot." Shots of Russian Vermouth. Thoroughly oxidized, stale Russian Vermouth. My stomach still churns at the 30+ year old memory.

Of course, there was that other time with 140 proof Chinese rice liquor & "Xiang Bing" which translates loosely -- very, very loosely -- as Champagne...

I'm fortunate that I'm a bit of a hoarder for provisions. Growing up watching lots of zombie movies has conditioned me to have a 30 day supply of all essentials on hand at all times. I only run out of beer when my brother visits. Even then, there's liquor. It's all about priorities and a defensive perimeter in case of zombie apocalypse.

Me too. I'm sure there is some clinical name for hoarding that's hard to pronounce but I don't care. When the tequila bottle or marg mix gets low I remain calm and peaceful. I know there is more in the cabinet. I like drinking tumbler size top shelf margs while watching zombie movies. My universe is in alignment.

You gotta wonder where that came from. I'd better check the back shelves in the 'frig right away. No telling what my wife and her friends have left in there. Although I have had a couple of good pina coladas in the past. My ex-wife liked to spin them up in the blender and bring me one after mowing the lawn on hot days. Kept us together until she stopped!

Quit lying Joel, I've seen you much lower. 

I think you are just angling for bottles of booze this Christmas. Pretty shrewd of you, I'd say.

Pina colada = good

Pina colada wine cooler = ungood

Sounds good.  When is your next zombie flick screening?  I'll be right over!

Not till you're starting to eye off a Methylated Spirits bottle is when you are really low.

I went for the everclear and found a bottle of canadian club. That's like trying to pull the ugly girl at the bar and finding out her slightly cuter friend has been making eyes at you. WIN.
