What are you drinking tonight?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,488]

Love Malibu rum with pineapple juice.

[Koray Savas 2,254]

I made a pretty good cocktail once. I believe it was equal parts 1800 Silver and Hypnotiq (about 2/3 of your cup), and then a splash of pineapple juice and orange Fanta for the remaining 1/3.

[Mr. Brown 91]

Going to a wrap party. The host has stocked up on loads of alcohol.

I'm going to drink so much that he'll wish he charged us a cover.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,488]

Whats a wrap party?

[Jay 40,309]

Really Stef?

I'm going to my first Pawtucket Red Sox game of the season tonight, so.... beer!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,488]

It's an English phrase I'm not familiar with. Do you mind?

[Mr. Brown 91]

Whats a wrap party?

A party that only serves snack wraps from McDonalds.

Just kidding. I recently worked on a film production and most of the crew is getting together tonight for a few drinks.

[Jay 40,309]

That's better.

Thank you!

Dude, I was so gonna 'like' your witty post - until I noticed you went onto explain the joke.

NEVER explain the joke!

[Mr. Brown 91]

I didn't want to confuse poor Stefan.

It would have fit well with the idea that all Americans are fat f*cks, though.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260]

Aren't we though? And aren't we all quarrelsome, brash, and woefully dumb? Come on, you said you didn't want to confuse him, so let's play the part he expects.

[Sir Hilary Bray 235]

the after work Saturday special, Double Jack [Daniels].

For as Frasier Crane once said: "Paging Daniels! Paging Doctor Jack Daniels!"

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,488]

Aren't we though? And aren't we all quarrelsome, brash, and woefully dumb?.

Yes you are!

[Sweeping Strings 2,700]

Grolsch tonight. Cheers!

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260]

Yes you are!

I could construct a device to open a wormhole right under your ass if I had gravitons and a source of immense mass, so I'll grant you the quarrelsome but not the woefully dumb.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,488]

Did you type that using your chubby fingers, or by banging your head on the keyboard?

[Mr. Brown 91]

I'm typing this with mayo on my fingers, from the triple bacon cheeseburger sitting on my desk, as the latest episode of The Kardashians is playing on my 60 inch HDTV (that was made in China).

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260]

Hey, my fingers are slender and aesthetically pleasing, perfect for tickling the ivories or lady parts.

[Jay 40,309]

Last night I had a sweet tea vodka / iced tea / lemonade that was delicious (and devoured much too quickly) and then a pint of Kilkenny, which was pretty good.

[Quintus 5,495]

I'm detoxing after a night on the tiles last night with a couple of pals. Absolutely horrific all-day hangover, one of the worst I've ever had. Mixing Stella with Jager Bombs and vodka Redbulls is never a good idea in any universe.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260]

Oi, Redbull? You want your heart to explode?

[Sharkissimo 1,974]

My standard detox is just drinking a 2 litre bottle of water. Works every time, though involves a number of trips to the loo.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260]

I'm seriously considering a total swearing off of alcohol beyond very occasional wine. Don't need to give my body any more reason to crap out than it already has thanks to genetics.

[Jay 40,309]

All you need to do to avoid a hangover is force yourself to drink a bunch of water before falling asleep. Of course, you'll have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee your brains out, but when you do just drink more water. In the morning you'll be all better - especially after a nice greasy breakfast

[Mr. Brown 91]

If I'm too smashed to drink water before crashing, I usually have dreams of drinking water. Very strange.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,488]

Jason is right.

Exactly. That and lots of sleep. The only problem is when you're too drunk to remember to drink all that water.

[crocodile 8,739]

Dashingly Dark (smooth dark ale with a trace of chocolate). One of the locals. Love it!

Karol

[Mr. Brown 91]

Dashingly Dark

Finally, a beer named after the color of my piss following a night of heavy drinking.

[Jay 40,309]

The only problem is when you're too drunk to remember to drink all that water.

Yea, that can definitely be a major problem

[Koray Savas 2,254]

Man you guys go to some wild parties!

Just a couple glasses of red wine tonight.

[Quintus 5,495]

The water trick was off the cards for me that night. By the time I got to my front door it was only my primeval instincts that got me to bed.

Reminds me of my second night in Boston. Cider + Proscecco + wine + Vodka + jetlag. Drinking water didnt help and woke up with a sledgehammer of a headache.

[Sweeping Strings 2,700]

Last night some Samuel Adams, some Staropramen and a bottle of local ale 'Headless Dog' (only 4.2%, despite its name). Wouldn't normally be in the pub on a Sunday night, but thought I'd take advantage of this being a Bank Holiday Monday .

[Koray Savas 2,254]

Bank holiday?

[Quintus 5,495]

National holiday in the UK today. There's about five Bank Holidays a year.

Plagiarist!

[Koray Savas 2,254]

But what's the holiday? Just curious as my bank is only closed 6 days out of the year. Used to be 3.

It means we don't have to work.

[Quintus 5,495]

Google will have the origins. My guess is a Bank Holiday was originally a day set aside for banks to check their books and keep their house in order - so unable to be open for trade.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,488]

It's basically the term used in the UK to denote a public holiday, right?

[Sir Hilary Bray 235]

Plundering my meagre offerings. Dusted off the First Cape red I had and then oddly swerved into a bottle of Old Speckled Hen.

No shit. I'm asking the reason for the closure. The day off is literally just for banks so they can do whatever?

In the U.S. banks operate based on when the Federal Reserve is open. So on days like Memorial Day or Independence Day or Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, what have you, when the government is closed, banks usually close as well.

Except mine. The joy!

[nightscape94 966]

In the US we have Federal Holidays, but the day itself represents something specific. President's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day (for war vets), Independence Day, etc.

[Koray Savas 2,254]

Correct. Anyway, today was hell, nonstop customers for hours on end. I'm in the mood for margaritas.

[nightscape94 966]

We posted at the same time, otherwise you had it covered.

I work in a Credit Union, and today was a long fucking day.

[Koray Savas 2,254]

I used to work at Best Buy, and Black Friday was like the day everyone never wanted to come. Then I started working at a bank, and quickly learned that there's a Black Friday every month on the 1st

I haven't stepped inside my own bank since I opened my account 5 years ago or however long it was. I don't understand it.

One of those times when Wikipedia comes in handy.

A bank holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries, other European countries such as Switzerland, and a colloquialism for a public holiday in Ireland. There is no automatic right to time off on these days, although banks close and the majority of the working population is granted time off work or extra pay for working on these days, depending on their contract.

[Quintus 5,495]

That's not really an origns story though.

guest2 - can't be bothered searching his self.
