Drinking Thread and/or Bar Talents

[mosdub]

So, it's hump day.  C'mon, almost through the standard work week.    


1)  You're drinking something - what is it?
2)  You either have a bar talent or you WISH you had a specific bar talent.  What is it?  

[easilyunamused]

What do you mean, bar talent? Like good at darts or pool?

I'd love a glass of wine, but I am supposed to chill on the weekday drinks.

Yeah, or any cool thing you can show off at the bar - cool dance moves, tying a knot in a cherry stem, singing all the words to a specific song, whatever! 

[easilyunamused]

There is a point in my buzz where I kill it playing pool, and then I have one more beer and shoot balls off the table. It's a very thin line.

I find the same is true with me and hacky sack.  Enough to loosen me up so I'm not so in my head about it but not too much to where my motor skills go down the toilet.

I can do two out of three. lol Never mastered tying the cherry stem knot.

I CAN BURP MY ABC's. TALENT!

I will be drinking water, and maybe tea later, and my bar talent is ordering more food than I can possibly hope to finish ever.

[mosdub]

For me:
Drinking some white wine and feeling fine.

Bar talent I have: Making origami out of napkins
Bar talent I wish I had: Singing/rapping every single word to a Busta Rhyme song.

It's so hard to resist the mozzarella sticks!

Even though ordering too much food isn't embarrassing, this still made me smile.

[easilyunamused]

I'm pretty good at bar shuffle board too.

[easilyunamused]

Maybe I just spent too much time in bars. lol In my defense, I was a bartender for a few years.

Any Busta song? 

[shadesofgold]

Drinking rose and making cauliflower pizza crust. Had one beer at a staff outing to a baseball game. Feeling tipsy (not enough water?) and gonna try to nurse this buzz. My bar talent used to be dancing on the bar. Now I just complain about how loud it is.

Gimme Some More (I realize this is a hella old song but just re-discovered it as an adult and I'm loving it)  

ETA:  But I'd take any.  I thought maybe I would try to memorize it but it's so FAST.

No judging... back in my single girl in the city days... #totesdidthiswithdeliveries

[hobbesgal]

I'm drinking cran and vodka, and I have the talent of having other people offer to buy me drinks. Usually shots.

[PepperPottsJ]

Drinking water at the moment....

Bar talent I have: In light of this I dance on the bar like a champ!! I can also hold my own @shuffleboard with my partner. MH and I can't be on same team...
Bar talent I wish I had: Drinking all of the teqilua shots without blacking out and/or vomitting

[easilyunamused]

hobbesgal, I need cranberry juice! I only have OJ and I am not a fan of screwdrivers. But I love mimosas. #riddlemethat

I might just take a shot of vodka and save my calories for pizza. I wanna go back to 21, when I never worried about calories and ate all the fast food after a night out drinking and dancing.

I may be the only person who has not blacked out or thrown up from tequila.  Only happy/good associations.

I haven't really either, now whiskey is a whole nother ballgame. I can't drink that anymore.

H was looking up ABV in relation to calories the other night. 

Apparently the best option is a Jack Daniels and Diet Coke.

Currently drinking milk from dinner. Don't think I'm going to actually drink but the night is young.

Bar talent: can (almost always) sing all the words to Semi Charmed Life.

Of course, two things I dislike. 

I don't even want to know how many calories are in a glass of wine. Margs I hear are super high.

I can do that thing where you tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue.

When I was young and experimental, I couldn't do tequila for the life of me.  Seriously, it wasn't a choice.  I'd try to shoot it and my throat would go, "OH HELL NO," close, and when I'd tilt my head back up, it'd just dribble out of my mouth without my permission.  Tequila was the SINGLE ONLY ALCOHOL that ever did this.  It may have been a sign.

I cannot stop laughing at "...it'd just dribble out of my mouth without my permission."
