    You want light beer?

    Take a real beer, like Double Barrel Ale... add water.

    Anyone waters down my Dirtwolf, I will kill them.

    I make it fit, nothing can keep me away from my malbec <3

    I love a nice Malbec too...But my ultimate favorite is Apothic Red...It's just so darn expensive in Canada!!! But nothing will keep me away from it either...

    Hop the border to Minnesota, go to Total Wine, Cheap Apothic Red! I love it too. Anyway, I could have written this post, about drinking, about eating poorly, about losing my motivation. And the thing is, I KNOW how good it feels to eat healthy, be active, be at my best weight - the way clothes fit like a dream, the way I don't have to suck in my muffin top to fit into my jeans...I KNOW these things. I still do it to myself though, with Apothic Red, with dirty martinis, with whatever I must have to go with dinner (and before dinner, and after dinner). I don't know what it is about the human psyche that lets us go against our own best interest like that, but I DO know you're in good company. I do know you're not alone and neither am I. When I have a reason to drop weight, like an upcoming vacation, I will abstain from cocktails - my motto after the holidays will be: No Booze 'Til the Cruise (my upcoming vaca in Feb). Do you have something coming up in the next couple of months you could use as a kick in the *kitten*?

    Well, first PBR is not beer, it's lightly filtered and fermented urine.

    On that note, I am so glad that I don't drink alcohol.

    New Hampshire also has no sales tax on alcohol, for Quebecers. Trouble is, you gotta stay out of the country for at least 48 hours to be allowed to bring even small amounts of alcohol back over the border. Not usually worth it, unless you're making a weekend out of it for other reasons.

    Wanna shotgun or keg stand? At least do it with something tasty like Old Rasputin. ;)

    Haha. I guess when we drank for sport (shotgunning, beer pong, etc) around here, we bought cheap and without regard for taste.

    If I'm going to sit around and drink beer for taste, I go for something I actually enjoy.

    ..if that's not an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. Ha. I miss college.

    It's totally healthy, seriously. ;)

    Back in college we used to do the Red Cup of Cuervo. Get to the party, everyone gets a full solo cup of cuervo. You had to drink it before you were granted access to the other liquor. lol.

    I know!! I wish we could bring alcohol across the border!! It's sooooo much cheaper in the US (I border NY). Plus I really like Yuenglueng and you can't get that in Canada...

    Ah, grass beer. While I am californian, I can't handle the silly level of hopping that people get into with IPAs.

    I hear ya. Also, any trip that involves flying is a pain in the butt to bring back alcohol. I was in California on business recently, and REALLY wanted to bring back some Stone Brewery beer (Arrogant *kitten* Ale, ever try it?) but of course travelling carry-on with liquids is a big no-no. And with all the fees to check luggage, it's just not worth the difference.

    Personally, I just wait 'til the beer festival every spring. And in the meantime, I "make do" with local craft beers.

    (ETA: Really, MFP filter? You won't let me type B@stard?)

    What? I live in Edmonton and it's sold at Costco for $13 a bottle....

    Yeah, in Alberta, the only province with privatized liquor sales. Here in Quebec, a bottle of Apothic Red retails at the SAQ for $16.75. And I believe it's also around $16 at the LCBO.

    MUAHAHAHA suckers.

    Drink good stuff, enjoy it.

    Don't be that idiot shotgunning pabst and slamming shots of cuervo and fireball.
    Y u no likey fireball?

    But legit, Spicebox cinnamon is delicious.
    Although their pumpkin spice is even better.

    Is it bad to want a drink at 9:09am?

    Not me. Bring on the hops! The hoppier, the better.

    Hop, hop, hop for hops.

    Why can't you go back to skating

    find that thing you love and do it

    Or inline skating if there's no ice rink close.
