First Adult Beverage

[mands1125]

Is anyone else besides me drooling at the thought of their first beer (or whatever your poison is) post partum?

My EDD is tomorrow and just the thought of having a nice craft beer in the near future makes me happy. I missed all of the summer/fall beer festival fun with DH and also my parents moved to the beach at the beginning of the summer and I couldn't relax in the sand with a Bud Light Lime in my hand like usual. Sad times to be pregnant. I had my last drink on Memorial Day and got my BFP the next day!

Let's make this a poll. What is your favorite alcoholic beverage? How long do you plan on waiting PP to consume?

[mands1125]

My favorite beers are Allagash White and Victory Brewing Company Mad Kings Weiss. I plan on consuming at some point before my milk comes in. Just one of course!

Victory also has a beer called "Winter Cheers" that is in the refridgerator waiting for me to come home from the hospital as well

[musicgirl]

Red wine all the way!

[kaydee0402]

Champagne is normally my go-to drink. But lately I've been craving a margarita with salt. The champagne will be in hands as soon as possible after our hour of skin to skin time. The margarita may have to wait

[mishka29]

G & T all the way!

[seamonster]

There is a bottle of cava that will soon be chilling in my fridge. I'm drinking when we get home from the hospital.

CHAMPS for the win! Although, I have really been craving beer. mands1125 I'm with you on the Allagash--have you ever tried Dogfish Head's Namaste? I've also been dreaming about Coors Lights in aluminum bottles.

Whatever my first drink will be, there will be multiple consecutive servings. As soon as I feel up to it.

[AppropriateChocolate]

A glass of wine.

No I wanted to, DH tried one this summer but I was pregnant But my parents moved really close to the DFH brewpub so I am looking forward to going there in the near future!

We're bringing my fave, Redd's Apple Ale, to the hospital... so yeah. Celebratory drink!

If you like Allagash you'll love Namaste.

The brewery tour is really cool! I just read in the local paper that they are releasing a few more kegs of their Scrapple beer this week at their place in Rehobeth. I'm not a scrapple fanatic like some, but I'd try the beer. 

Goodness... Now all I want is beer! ...and maybe scrapple

Our in-laws gifted us 6 bottles of one of our favorite red wines for after delivery, called Prisoner. We'll be breaking them out soon after I figure out whether LO will give me those recommended 2 hours between feedings. :-P

Prisoner is my favorite red wine, next to Jersey Red ;-) it was the first bottle of wine DH and I got on our very first date. Good choice!! 

[mrsclark731]

I am way too into this thread, btw.

Rogue hazelnut brown ale purchased at Costco over the weekend. It is one of my favorite beers. And a couple ciders I want to try. Wine doesn't sound good yet though I know it will once the heartburn is gone.

We went to the DFH brewpub in Northern Virginia for the husbandman's birthday in 2013 (he LOVES craft beer). Excellent food and they had beers available that they don't have in stores. I think my husbandman was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start.

[toadandbuggie]

I had my first beer PP and it was AMAZING. Blue Moon Peach harvest. I've had some red wine & some beers in between feedings or pumping and I can't believe how much I missed just the freedom of popping open a beer and sitting down to enjoy it.

[cginge]

Either a big, chilled glass of Frisk (I like cheap wine and I'm not ashamed), or some good craft beer (a nice saison maybe).

[pitdigger]

I am going to make or have DH make me a Perfect Manhattan. I had just gotten it right with the Johnny Walker before getting pregnant and then I couldn't have them anymore. I will have one once I'm at home, just not sure when exactly.

Also, there's a DFH in NoVa?! Where? I only knew about the one in Gaithersburg because I worked just down the road from it.

[pixelatedjane]

I've got a bottle of Sofie (baby girl's name) ale by Goose Island sitting in the fridge for when we get home from the hospital... But when I was at the grocery yesterday I saw that they carry my favorite (Circle Blur Hefe) now so I might have to have one of those bad boys instead. I'm so looking forward to my celebratory drink!

[kerrigrooves]

oh man, Im so glad Im not alone on this, was feeling bad about thinking about my first drink so often! I am probably going to have a very hoppy beer (Stone or Avery IPA) and once I get breastfeeding going, Ill have my dirty martini w blue cheese stuffed olives

[wirtlehm]

I'm with music girl... I want a big ass glass of red wine!

[lilyelayne]

I don't know when I'll indulge, but I want dark rum & Coca-Cola - I want it very cold, and I want to take my time drinking it. Ah...daydreams...

[krispy83]

DH brought a bottle of my favorite wine (Coppola Rossi) to the birth center to open after she was born but I was feeling too shaky to have it. Once we got home that afternoon and I was settled though, I indulged in a couple of glasses. SO good!!

The next day I had a Samuel Adams Summer Ale that he had saved for me as well. I'm definitely enjoying being able to have beer and wine again. Haven't had a G&T yet but I see that happening in the next couple of days.

[cougarette]

I like all kinds of drinks - margaritas, vodka, rum, wine, some beer.

We went to north Georgia when I was 7 weeks and DH picked up the reds he knew I'd like. I'm excited to open those once I get home. I've had small glasses here and there of our favorite NC wines, but I'm looking forward to a real glass pp.

[lulu783]

I literally cannot wait for my first, freshly made margarita. I even went to the liquor store to stock up on all the ingredients and got the NASTIEST look from the cashier. Whatevs.

[cougarette]

Ugh, lulu783, who's to say you weren't buying that for a party? Or you know... for when you have the baby. I hate people.

Yes, in Falls Church.  Sorry, this was the first website my Google search pulled up that had an address.

The mature adult that I appear to be wants to say a tall pour of really great zinfandel, but in reality I want a triple coke & Bacardi.
Especially since I've had sips of wine here and there during this pregnancy, but haven't had a sniff of liquor. I really like rum & cokes on a hot summer (or May??) day, even if they don't love me back.

Just look at it. I'm not even going to re-size it because it's too glorious

[nbad311]

@crazycornball  what's that hot potato thing you have by your name?? LOOKS FUN
