Don't know whether this new social network is bound to become viral, but sipping on Glenfiddich, I thought maybe more members would join as soon as Friday evening unfolded -:)

Friday evening is just about to unfold here in New York and I will be lifting a beer to my lips in due course.
I will join you too. It's been a hell of a week and I will celebrate the weekend with a nice Macallan Amber and ice. Cheers!

Unfortunately, at some stage I needed to choose the booze basing on least -felt -next- morning- after-effects, and I found that single-malts caused little to no hangover!
Another one of week's evenings goes with red wine...
And beers are surely welcome too on appropriate occasions - like sports, BBQ and stuff.
Viva Bacchus/Dionysus!

And don't forget Ninkasi, Marduk, Macuiltochtli, Hephaestus, Gambrinus, Cerridwen, Crom Dubh, and Dagon. So many beer gods. And I do believe they are related to the whiskey gods, right? :)

Me, I prefer single malts from Islay. Medical benefits :-) (They contain a little iodine from the seaweed through which their water percolates, and NZ soil is actually a little deficient in iodine.) That's my excuse anyway, not that I need an excuse.

Good one!
In Canada, we have this 'designated driver' thing going on where one of the guys stays sober allowing for a safe return of the others together,I look at it from a different perspective and usually offer them to be the 'designated drinker'. LOL
Now we are talking. Sounds good! More drinkers?Drivers and drone operators are welcome to join too -:)
It's gonna be whisky tonight. Too bad can't organize a giveaway through goodreads -:) Those cutting edge techs still have their limits...Anyone's up to clink a glass through computer screen? -:)
Ran out of cider last night but there's a few bottles of porter in the fridge for when I get home, assuming I do (NY traffic a bit unsettled by all the barriers etc. around Trump Tower. Will have to steer my bike onto some other route).

I raise my scotch and ginger ale to everyone.No, it's not expensive scotch, but I do have a bottle of Macallan 18 waiting for me to publish my book... which I hope to be early next year... had a setback.
Just to remind that our drinking social network is open for adult audience and kicking especially towards the weekend. As I see darkness behind the window the first round won't be long -:)
G'morning, or good evening, Nik, as the case may be. I just began my day with a homemade "frappuccino". Hope that counts, if I clink my glass gently on the screen.
Sure, counts, although a droplet of some compatible liquor may improve it, but that's probably for a later hour -:)
I go for no less than the finest champagne. Brought a magnum to share. Any takers? I can't drink this alone.
P.J. Sounds delicious! I'm actually having a satisfying cup of hot coffee right now. Cheers.Joanne, Hmm... maybe after my coffee. ; )
Nik wrote: "Jameson anyone?"Whiskey? I have been known to enjoy that. Or is that something else where you live?
Of the whiskeys that I've tried, that was definitely one of the smoothest and easy-drinking ones. I would also recommend Balllantines. I was surprised, since its dirt cheap around here, but its a very versatile scotch!
Just got home from evening school.Had a few slices of pizza on the way home so I wouldn't have to cook so late. Having my last beer now before bed.
I wish I didn't have to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning...
