What are we drinking tonight?

[RTR...USN (ret)]

Does anyone even make their own sweet tea at home any more? I know we don't.....

I remember growing up my mom had the dedicated sugar cup (a small tupperware coffee cup that was ONLY used for measuring sugar for our tea. Two scoops in that thing was what was needed for a pitcher of perfect tea.

It’s too damn easy to grab some at the grocery store. Some is good, some…. Not so much.
Red Diamond is good, Milo’s is awesome. Some if the others taste like damn instant.
We do keep teabags and sugar in case of an emergency outage !

@Bama Believer thanks for the heads up.

I keep a jug of the yellow label Milo's, it's the best no calorie version out there.. I used to like their burgers, greasy little disc of heaven but I wouldn't put them in any best burger thread.

Sometimes when it’s freezing out and I’m ready for summer, we’ll have summery drinks just to say fuck it to Mother Nature. So looking like tonight is gonna be Long Island Tea night.

A little bite to it but a good serviceable rye. Especially at 100 proof.

If it don't hurt tomorrow, you're doing it wrong.

Notice the bottle? Ain't much left

This is why I stick to beer. Not sure what it is about liquor, but I seem to have some kind of immunity. Before I realize what happened, the fifth is nearly gone and I don't feel like I have a buzz worth having. Then tomorrow morning happens and I am in hangover hell.

I like the buzz more from liquor. A beer buzz is alright but not the same, have to drink to much to get it. I hate the hangovers from both and I agree the liquor one's hurt more.

Ok I talked myself into having another
