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 -:)

Let's hope so, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll raise my mug of tea to that Nik. :)

Thanks, Jen, cheers, na zdorovie -:)

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!

That's quite a company already!

Now that's something worth sipping on. You a Scotch drinker?

I think a small glass of wine is in order to celebrate Friday :)

Wine is good. Whiskey is good. Beer is good. It's all nectar of some gods, right?

I'm all drinker -:)
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? :)

Well said Jen. Me too. I just sat down with my cup 'o tea.

Didn't realize there were that many divine drunkards -:)

O Nik. There are. People can get drunk over love and war too. Not just Whisky and Vodka.

Yep, probably not just booze, but anything triggering an ego trip

Yeah. Hitler was drunk! With power and irrational rage! Wouldn't you agree?

Heinous psychopath.

Nik wrote: "Heinous psychopath."

Couldn't agree more.

It's weekend. No empty glasses, please -:)

It's saturday already, but I got two beers that need drinking.

So cheers :)

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!

Ok, red wine for me tonight. Anyone's joining?
Cheers, na zdarovye, lehaim!

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? -:)

Salud to all of you! I'll toast with you while drinking a bottle of Bold Rock Honeydew Cider.

Sounds good, cheers!

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).

Tossing back some good ol' fashioned West Coast style beers!

Supped a Kokanee, now working on a glass of white wine. Cheers!

You can't mix. Or maybe you can, I don't care! :)

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.

I'm in. Cheers!

P.J. Sounds delicious! I'm actually having a satisfying cup of hot coffee right now. Cheers.

Joanne, Hmm... maybe after my coffee. ; )

Joanne, I LOVE champagne! I'll help you drink it. (I'm also partial to a Martini).

Isn't tonight perfect to unscrew or uncork something?-:)

Jameson anyone?

Nik wrote: "Jameson anyone?"

Whiskey? I have been known to enjoy that. Or is that something else where you live?

It's the same stuff here too, unless, of course, it's a counterfeit (happens also) -:) Cheers!

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...

Cheers, Kat! Indeed, early mornings usually aren't the best part of the day

Raising a glass of Pinot Grigio to you at the end of a long day here in the US.

Whisky (scottish), whiskey (irish) whiskey (all, American)

I drunk my way around the Hebrides and single malts

These days I stick to cider and Larios (Spanish gin – good for kidney stones … prevention/cure that is).
