Any drunk stories (or pics!) you'd like to share for the heck of it? back in my WAY younger years, one night we decided to mix drinks. Well, the frozen oj would NOT open, so I decided that using a can opener would be a great idea. Worked great for about half the can. So then I decided that since it's half open, I can just bend the lid backward. Yeah, not so much. I finger slipped since it was wet and starting to thaw and I hardly noticed it. But my friend all of the sudden quietly said "blood" and passed out. ?!?! WTH?? I looked down and I had blood dripping everywhere. oops.

What's your favorite alcoholic drink? wine: chardonnay, Riesling, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir beer: EPAs, IPAs, Oktoberfests, pumpkin ales, wheat and white beers, summer ales, for American light lager style drinking occasions I prefer Mich. Golden light. Basically the only thing I won't drink is Miller Lite, wines like white zin, super sweet "girly" drinks, and Mike's type malt beverages.
If I had to pick one beer right now it would be New Belgium Fat Tire.

What's your favorite alcoholic drink? My go to is a Captain and Coke. I also like amaretto sours and any kind of frozen, fruity girly drinks.
Has it changed since college/high school? I didn't start drinking till right before I turned 21. Back then I was into anything that came in a bottle - Mike's Hard Lemonade and what not. Now I can barely drink that stuff.
Do you like/drink beer? I only did when I first started dating DH. However I had a bad night of mixing beer with Malibu and OJ (not together, of course, but I was switching between the two drinks) so beer just grosses me out now.
Any drunk stories (or pics!) you'd like to share for the heck of it? Eh. Anytime I've gotten really drunk hubs is usually around to make sure I don't do anything totally stupid. I did drop a camera in a puddle while running through the street having a snowball fight - but that's not because I was drunk, it's because my purse broke. I'm kinda lame.
Any fun drink recipes to share? Hmm... not really, everything I make generally involves 2 ingredients or less.

shake the whipping cream in the unopened container until you can't hear the liquid anymore. shake it HARD. it will thicken.

Any drunk stories (or pics!) you'd like to share for the heck of it? Cocktail hours at weddings are "bad". Especially when it will turn's cash bar after the hour of free booze.
I was at a wedding once where I downed, and I mean chugged a bottle of champagne. You know, the ones they have at the tables for the toasts. needless to say when it was time for the toasts I had to find another bottle for the table. Well a little while later I got SICK, had to run to the bathroom holding my hand to my moth hoping for just a few more seconds until I can make it to a stall. I didnt really make it, some got on my dress. Thankfully the dress was reversible!!! So when I look back at pictures of that wedding I know if it was pre-Champagne or post-Champagne depending on if I had a blue dress or a black dress on. LOL!!!
Any fun drink recipes to share? Yup! Jeremiah Weed Sweet tea (http://www.jeremiahweed.com/) and Lemonade---SO GOOD!!!

Any drunk stories (or pics!) you'd like to share for the heck of it?
A few years ago, I got unknowingly TANKED while drinking white wine in a hot tub with some couple friends of ours. Brian drove us home (Prior Lake to Mpls) and I got sick in the car. Rather than barf all over him or the interior of the car, I opted to just tuck my chin and throw up into my swimsuit that I was apparently still wearing. (My hubby was very proud of my thoughtfulness, as me showering off is a hell of a lot easier than taking the car to be cleaned.)
He was trying to find a place to pull over, got off at 35W and 66th? and pulled into the first neighborhood street. I flopped out of the passenger seat into the front yard of some house and proceed to vomit while on all fours....
BUT - it gets better - while in the car, I had untied the halter on my suit (because I thought it was contributing to my head-spinning), so I was doing all of this mostly topless. My husband was trying to get my top up whispering "We're SO gonna get arrested for this!!!"
......
LOL! What a great story!
Oh snap, that's funny...
