As to that last one, you've gotta drink something today. :D

Yes, but since it transpired that there was no blackcurrant liqueur at the local store (except fancy $28 stuff I wasn't going to shell out for for what amounts to "gag gift" purposes -- they must have got cleaned out for New Year's and haven't restocked), I'll have to stick with just the cider. Borrriinnngg....

There's always Elf-made wine or Firewhiskey.

Whiskey, we're going with the regular type. As for elf-made wine, I have a beer called "Insanely Bad Elf"; will that do?

LOL! That's pure genius!

It's part of an increasingly alcoholic series - Bad Elf (pale ale), Very Bad Elf (ale), Seriously Bad Elf (double ale), Criminally Bad Elf (barleywine), and Insanely Bad Elf (ditto, about 1% more alcohol than the last). They also brew (http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/beers/breweryProfile.asp?BreweryID=40) other such colourfully named holiday fare as Lump of Coal (which husband got in his stocking this year, natch), Reindeer's Revolt, and Santa's Butt.

Ooh, I disagree - there is never a bad time for snakebite and black! :D

Damn them! I agree, $28 is way too much. I've always just used cheapo blackcurrant cordial, trusting the cider and lager to provide the alcohol content. Can you use something like that? :)

[identity profile] elethian.livejournal.com 2009-01-10 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I mean, they had none, except the $28 stuff. So in the absence of that I didn't bother buying the lager.

*facepalm* I fail reading comprehension forever. I'm under a lot of pressure at the moment, please forgive me. :D

You won't say that after all is said and done. ;D
