    Acceptable drinking vs. Unacceptable Drinking is such a strange idea to me

    If you get basted on mimosas, how is that any different than downing a screwdriver?

    I started the Christmas weekend with severe food poisoning and chose to drink myself through it. I figured alcohol kills all the food poisoning germs right?

    It's going....okay I guess. Pass me another scotch

        I’m not drunk, just hungover, but I’m considering getting stoned. I don’t know if it will make it better or worse.

          If it affects your thought getting drunk has not helped. I'm gonna get some water before I try anything else and I'd recommend you do the same lol

    Alright, so the argument against it is simply aesthetic bullshit (screwdrivers are okay, actually) but I can defend this on the grounds of pairing juice with champagne/prosecco makes the resulting mix tastier with the oj adding body while the bubbly cuts the sweetness and adds more fruitiness, whereas juice and vodka is adding the (extremely subtle) flavors of vodka to sweetened juice and as a result you get boozy OJ or orange-flavored booze, and it doesn't balance as well - if you want hard liquor in a breakfast drink it's Bloody Marys or Irish Coffee all the way.

    That said I cracked a PBR at 8AM today.
