I don't deprive myself of the occasional adult beverage, although I don't drink as much as 4-5 drinks per week. I'll have a cocktail or a shot if I'm dining out for a special occasion. I just track it and move on.0

Yeah, Same here...if they pour it & I'm paying $5 for a vodka I'll drink it, & expect it to be little strong. I do however, watch what I mix it with...only water or sometimes tonic & lime... occasionally I'll drink wine instead, like tonight...but I log it.0

That's true. I usually have mixed drinks at home and beer when I'm out. If I do have one while I'm out, I accept the extra OR I have been known to have a discussion with the bartender to give me an HONEST shot. I usually try to tip more if they do. I'm not a young buck anymore and I want my drinks to be tasty and not just pure whiskey with a splash of Coke. I'm kind of a pick *kitten* that way.
wait you tip more for less alcohol???????????? Are we in some kind of weird paradox here?0 -

I can't even buy a drink for $5. Maybe a PBR.0 -

You can get them pretty cheap sometimes, maybe 3 if it's like half price hipster night.
My Bulleit rye's on the rocks are usually 9-12 bucks.0 -

If I want pure whiskey, I'd order a shot. If I want whiskey mixed with soda, I want a good mix. I don't need to get blitzed on one drink. I like to take my time and I don't want it to taste like sipping on gasiline. Although, Jameson can be sipped, most whiskey needs a good mix to get the optimal enjoyment for me. I'm picky.
What kind of whiskey are you drinking?! I can't mix it. But it's my favorite drink.0 -

Interesting. I might try. I was drinking vodka and soda water last week because I knew there would be hours of BBQing and I couldn't get away with beers and whiskey for hours on end.0 -

it is refreshing …
the water rehydrates you kind of ..however, they can be dangerous because you think "oh, I am drinking water with this" when in reality the vodka probably cancels out the water ….0 -

You are too high class for me. Or you make more money than me. Or both. I'm good with that
No money, unfortunately.0 -
