I can't help but notice there's no drinking thread yet...

[Deleted]

I Just finished my 2nd glass of Pinot noir.  I'm dreading work tomorrow after a 3 day weekend, but loving tonight because DH is working & my parents took DD overnight!  

Is anyone else drinking tonight?  

[nuggetrn]

I am not yet. I don't get off of work for another 51 minutes.... and then I have a 50 minute drive home. Boo

But o my goodness your puppy. So cute!!

[Deleted]

Aww! Thanks nuggetrn! So is yours.
My dog was about 1 there. He's 6 now, slowing down a now (especially with a 3 year old chasing him around) but still as happy!
ETA: tag

[Sparkly]

My usual glass of wine when I'm confident DD is down for the count.

[bunnyfungo]

I'm on it. I know you are all shocked.

[joy]

No alcohol for me tonight. I ran yesterday then tried to break the rules and drink. Running and drinking do not mix. I abstain on days that I run to avoid a migraine. But last night I was like "Oh, it'll be fine."

Nope. 

Tonight, I had a 45 minute dance party in my obnoxiously hot shower instead.

[hobbesgal]

Cran and vodka. We'll see if I end up in a corset tonight.

SPOILER: Click to show

I WILL.

Banana Shake from potbelly. Guise!!! My corkscrew broke in my cork and I have to wait until tomorrow when amazon delivers my new one. Not cool corkscrew. Not cool.

[bradysalon]

Ugh I had a glass of wine but DH was judging me (TWW). He kept giving me the side eye and I told him to fuck off. Now I'm in bed because I have to get up at 5am for work. Is it Friday yet?

[teej]

2 glasses of red wine over here. I needed it. Someone pissed me off today.

[jawswife]

I bought some two buck chuck at the store today. I'm just waiting to make dinner so I can have it with food. I'm not a big drinker, I haven't had any drinks in a few weeks but I was having a crappy day so I figured what the hell.

[joy]

Blah, now I'm very tired. Stupid silly dancing to "Big Machine" by Goo Goo Dolls.





don't judge my music

[imnotfancy]

Hot apple cider with some fireball whiskey. Definitely needed a calm down after getting myself so worked up earlier today while playing golf.

I would just push it all the way into the bottle.  Where there's a will, there's wine.

Totally did this in Paris one night with my friends.  No corkscrew plus French wine = desperate 20 year olds who make it happen

[mishy2010]

Pink Moscato from a plastic cup because I'm classy like that.

agree with just pushing it back in the bottle... I may have done this once with a hot dog roasting stick.

with scissors.... because no corkscrew...

[bunnyfungo]

You can also screw an actual screw into the cork and pull the whole thing out with pliers.

Amateurs.

[peaseblossom55]

I've definitely had to get a wine cork out of a wine bottle without a wine cork. It wasn't pretty but I was able to drink the wine. I'm on water right now. Although I'll make some hot apple cider later, no wine for me tonight.

[Sparkly]

I love wine.

[bunnyfungo]

This is why boxed wine is a thing.

[bunnyfungo]

Limearitas + tequila = awesome

Hot cider with fireball sounds yummy! Too bad I dont have either.

Looks like a trip to the store is in order for tomorrow!

[mlgnumbers]

You guys are cracking me up with all your stories of MacGuyver'ed corkscrew substitutes!! Chamomile Tea for me tonight...

This was on the first season of House of Cards. Wouldn't have know. About this without that show!

Edit: why do my phones emojis mess up in this app

Okay, I have to ask. Is there a decent boxed wine? What is it? My experience is limited to Franzia parties in college and you can guess how I feel about ever touching that stuff again. I am by no means a wine snob, but it needs to be better than that IYKWIM.

Botabox.  They also make really good mini-botaboxes, for when you have to drink in your rental car on a way to a wedding in Texas because you don't know if it's open bar or not.
