Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.
So, hello everyone. Here am at home, and I am asking all my friends round for a lunch time drinks party. I have kicked it off, with bottles of Gin Scotch, Vodka and Dry Martini. I am going to ask each of you to bring something along, and some mixers too. What I would like to know, is when you had your first drink of hard booze. For me, it was at school. My friend and I used to sneak some to school each morning. I was always a naughty girl, even then.
Well I am up for it! G&T in hand yay!! lets party:-)
#1 - Sat May 7, 2011 4:00 PM EDTME TOO!!!
How about a Cadillac Margarita? (It's got tequila, grand marnier and a splash of ammaretto... )
E
(It's got tequila, grand marnier and a splash of ammaretto... )
Ooh E that sounds pretty tasty and much more exotic than a G&T
Believe me.... it is like punch! Wicked dangerous as well.... you drink and taste no alcohol... and all of a sudden... hehehe....
So, Hi everyone. When did you have your first drink of hard spirits?
I was about 14. Vodka. So the parents couldn't smell it! I stole it from them and then added water to the bottle. Didn't realise that they wouldn't mix. Got in sooooooooo much trouble! LOL
62 years old end of next month and you expect me to remember whether i it was 5 or 6:30 this morning? hell, i could have been any time in between just as easily.
LOL beej, i guess us young uns will have to take up the slack then:-) LOL
anyone got any bushmills out there, jameson will do in a pinch.
oh wait a minute, i don't like scotch, porget about the pinch.
Welcome back!
For me, never. Can't stand the stuff. Beer, OK. Wine, for sure. Brandy, Whiskey, Tequila, Rum, whatever is a no. Can't stand the taste. I've tasted most, but never "had a drink" (Well, maybe a rum and Coke or a Margarita) of straight liquor. I just don't like it. Now, give me a good Chablis or Bordeaux, I'm in. Maybe a great Pils or Lager and I'm there, as well.
I had my first shot of tequila when I was 30 and it was downhill from there!
I tasted wine, gin, vodka and beer way before that.... my poison of choice is now Don Julio silver. Damn that's some smooth stuff....
Careful E, to much of that and you will learn why they yell O'Lay
Where do you think that came from.
I am really looking forward to being among a bunch of drunk women. I may even have a chance!
I feel like the proverbial Freckled red headed, three legged blind step child
still never have had a Bushmills
still never have had a Bushmills
For shame!. We will send you a sample:-)
I may even have a chance!
LOL. Beer goggles are certainly a funny old invention!
O'lay.... hahahahaha!!!
LOL E - I never had you pegged for a lunchtime drinker!
JO, The Bush is the master of all
I learned that a loooonnnngggg time ago, and it still holds true
God gave man a Johnson and a brain, but only enough blood to run one at a time.
Hello Jo, and thank You for the invite, I brought just my usual, a Single Malt, 24year old Glen Livet, and for the ladies, a nice assortment, a 2008 Houge Late Harvest Riesling, and a 2009 Beringer Moscao, and a 2008 Beringer white Zin. By the way the white tie parking attendents was a nice touch
#3 - Sat May 7, 2011 4:17 PM EDTMine was a 8th grade house party, parents gone for the weekend, and it was the Ladies dad', Scotch, been hooked ever since
Ode to StevG:
There was an old scarecrow from Cheshire
Who wanted to drink at his leisure.
Well StevG was glad
And said it was mad
That the scarecrow should miss all the pleasure.
StevG - when you get here you'd better be wearing shoes
#4 - Sat May 7, 2011 4:18 PM EDTLOFL,I have learn my lesson, I checked the neighborhood out before I parked and there is no hay anywhere, plus I'm barefoot, screw that straw BASTARD
And that was very nice of you to compose for me
(The fool bows to the beatuiful Lady, and is proud to be her friend)
#5 - Sat May 7, 2011 4:26 PM EDTplus I'm barefoot, screw that straw BASTARD
LOLOL - you are soooooooo right! Straw Bastard indeed
I don't think you are a fool - more like the court jester! hahaha
Well it sounds like switch hitters double their olds in getting lucky here,
I'll stick to the scarecrow
Cool, i don't have to worry about parking but,
I'm a virgin, I have seeded before, but never on the vine. Don' have a clue.
I'm a virgin, I have seeded before, but never on the vine. Don' have a clue.
Don't worry love, we women of experience will show you ropes *wink* LOL
Stev... not branding... only ropes... usually of silk... much more FUN! :)
You no i hate to admit it, but its starting to sound better and better :-)
I think it was Seagrams 7... which explains why I can't stand the stuff now...
Himself is a confirmed bourbon man... Me... I like my gin... and it has to be GOOD gin.... Bombay at worst...
#6 - Sat May 7, 2011 4:45 PM EDTI am happy with a Bombay - she says as she takes a huge gulp!
but I confess to loving a really good single malt.
I know just where there is a really special one too. :-)
Me to!!! I am showing remarkable patience on that one! LOL
ME three, but I am at the Mercy of the BRITS and the post office
Patience is not your strong point.
Understatement of the century! LOL. But on this one, better that it is right:-)
Since I tend to get a little crazy on ''firewater'' I'll bring makade-mashkikiwaaboo (black medicine water) or as you know it coffee...on the up side I'll bring some Ojibwe Fry Bread made with blueberries and warm maple syrup.
Thanks for the invite Jane, I will try to behave myself, if not I will break into some dancing. Ojibwe style...LOL
Kavika takes Soph hand and start the ''Jingle Dance''........Whoa Soph your good for a zhaagnaash, where did you learn the ''Jingle Dance?''
#7 - Sat May 7, 2011 4:48 PM EDTI'll bring makade-mashkikiwaaboo (black medicine water) or as you know it coffee..
haha - love it!
I brought a pole for dancing if anyone who wants to use it for later
E, I brought you three more shots
muching of Fry Bread and drinking black medicine water, wondering who will be the first to use StevG pole for dancing.
Bring the shots on!
:)
And I got $$ if SteveG is a good pole dancer! :)
sensing that ERich is getting minobii (a little high on alcohol) this pole dancing thingy could get interesting.
Soph, Don't worry love, we women of experience will show you ropes,
Please be gentle, and remember this will be my first time, I place myself in your experienced hands
#8 - Sat May 7, 2011 5:07 PM EDTPlease be gentle, and remember this will be my first time, I place myself in your experienced hands
I will try to make it as painless as possible love! lol
Brite every single person on this seed but you is blue how come we never hooked up F R SENT
I cannot believe you and Brite are not friends? Bloody hell that is a serious oversight
checking my skin color, I always thought I was red...hmmmmmm, these Brits are an interesting lot. Checking my Brit-Ojibwe dictionary for ''Bloody Hell''...
I always thought I was red...hmmmmmm, these Brits are an interesting lot.
You may be red, but on the vine you are very definitely blue:-)
Now you know why they call them BLUE BLOODS
Oh very good. hahahaha
Thank you Soph. Blue Bloods, LOL good one StevG
Seeing that Soph and StevG have an excellent sense of humor, you are adopted into the Ojibwe Nation.
I'll gladly join but, how much are the dues
Don't be tight StevG, oh and can you spot me mine to? LOL
The dues are fairly inexpensive. 0 for StevG and Manhattan for Soph...lol, it pays to be a blood brother.
Thinking that I'll have to deal with all those New Yorkers I've changed my mind Soph, I'll take Scotland instead. The Scot's are really blood brothers. No kidding.
There's an Ojibwe-Brit dictionary?? OOOOOOOOooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk LMAO
I barely speak English, German, French, Spanish, Swede, Japanese, Italian and Korean any more....
Brite, of course there is a Ojibwe-Brit dictionary......Also a Ojibwe-Scottish and Ojibwe-French dictionary. We haven't gotten to the Japanese version yet, but that will be coming soon....lol
LMAO I speak English mostly... I used to swear at the kids in Spanish until their friends started translating... the little traitors... LOL Then I had to switch to German and Swede mostly.
I'm of Delaware and possibly Iroquois decent. We know the Delaware for sure, we just can't prove it... seems that Granny ran away with her white lover, a married man... and was his "second wife" if you get my meaning... One of their daughters married back into the People, and that's how we know... but... LOL
The home land of the Iroquois and the Ojibwe was the same area around Hudson Bay, until that testy little war between them and the Ojibwe drove the Iroquois nation from power.
So Granny was a bit on the wild side. Sounds like she could be Metis.
Waanakiwin (peace)

YUM! And the People aren't savages... they are MOST civilized!
Himself would be... overly pleased... as long as there is video! LMAO
when you had your first drink of hard booze.
While I was growing up, my parents had a restaurant. My first hard drink was me and my buddy sneaking a bit from each bottle in the bar section. We filled up a Pepsi bottle and took off.
We we're caught because I spent most of the night puking, and obviously, my parents started asking questions.
#16 - Sat May 7, 2011 6:23 PM EDTLOL. How old were you?
I remember at 16 drinking a whole bottle of Pernod, mixing it with black current juice. I spent all nigh vomiting out my bedroom window, the alcohol was perfectly crystallized in the snow the next morning. Until today - aniseed *shudder*
LOL Nice!
I was 16 as well. Young enough to use it as an excuse.
Young enough to use it as an excuse.
Yeah. But old enough to really enjoy it!
Old enough to know better, young enough not to resist.....Story of my life...lol
#17 - Sat May 7, 2011 7:52 PM EDTHi Jo! Ex US Navy here!
Wild Turkey. Bourbon. Pops was a Wild Turkey man, and I was somewhere about eleven or twelve. I had sneaked a sip when no one was looking. At least I thought no one was looking! Busted! ROFL!
To this day, it's bourbon for me. Kentucky born and bred, preferably, for first choice. Neat, or on the rocks. But I sure won't turn my nose up at a bit of Don Julio Silver either! Or Laphroaig, a truly fine single malt of the best tradition, but if there's a day-to-day, it's still good old Jack Daniels Old Number 7, neat. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
(*bourbongrins*!)
