I had an alcoholic, wealthy boss who took me out to expensive dinners a few times. Once or twice we hit 4-figures in wine costs. Then, he went to AA and that was that. All for the best, of course.

But, I still remember the wine. Just fabulous. I have adapted back to the real world of the under-$20 aisle and cocktails when we go out, not that often. I did have a great original formula 1944 Mai Tai. Love Mojitos and had a great Sidecar a while back. I would be in trouble if I was rich...

OK, for all of you vodka drinkers, I have found a gym in the rough. I typically am the all-beer guy of the group - hard liquor is just not for me. But a few years ago a patron of a liquor store recommended a particular brand of vodka that the owner of the store had suggested - Tito's Vodka. It is a Texas vodka, distilled 5 times!!!! I mix this stuff with Tropicana Diet Lemonade and the $#!t is awesome - and hardly any calories!!!! In fact it took me 15 minutes to type this message because I have had a couple of these tonight!!!

Just to be helpful: 1.5 oz of vodka=100 calories. A 150 lb man requires around 1800 calories. Two drinks then amounts to about 10% of that requirement.

It takes a one-mile walk to burn 100 calories. And it is not recommended to have 20 cocktails and then not eat to compensate.

How much does a 1.5 mile sprint from the po-po burn

Anyone who can sprint 1.5 miles to or from anything is doing ok and can treat himself with a huge drink with umbrellas, sugarcane sticks, anything.

You have no business being in this thread young man

Back when we were 18, it was legal to drink at that age. I don't really know if it is good or bad that the age limit is back up to 21.
