So far I've had a couple Palomas. We just got back from an afternoon at the community pool (right around the corner from us) and with the boys napping in their beds after some sun, it was an opportune time for adults to enjoy refreshments. My sister in law and nephew are visiting for the fourth and she is a very talented mixologist who put some together as my wife saw them on tiktok and wanted to try them out. They are quite nice if you like grapefruit. Make sure you build them with a quality white tequila, Cointreau and of course fresh limes and pink grapefruit.

Very refreshing with a nice salty citrus front end and somewhat earthy backside from the Chamoy and Tajin rim.

What are y'all enjoying this afternoon?

The second I saw your notification come through, I thought to myself - he’s drinking coffee! :)

Mmmm I love a pint of Guinness. Not too shabby with a shot of Jameson dropped into it. Interestingly it brings out these caramel-maple syrup notes. Very tasty.

Tea this morning with a dash of skimmed milk.
A Diet Coke this lunchtime.
Either tea or peach squash this afternoon depending on the temperature.

I don’t drink alcohol very often and never at home.

I primarily drink at home. Rarely do I drink out because then I have to drive to get there and come home and frankly I don’t want to have to deal with any repercussions of that choice. I’d much rather enjoy at home with my wife. I think it’s also the season of life I’m in. I used to be the opposite & go to the pub and drink but anymore I can’t be bothered to go. I have what I want right here.

I cleaned my garage yesterday and went through all my home beer brewing gear and pulled out my favorite growlers for a stop at a local brew pub. It’s too hot to brew right now where I’m at but once we are back firmly in the fall, I’ll brew myself a chocolate stout I think and bottle ferment for a month or so in those cooler temperatures.

Mrs AFB doesn’t drink at all. So drinking alone isn’t the same
Basically I drink when I’m working away from home and I never have more than 3 pints. Often less. Before this year I might be working away 2-3 times a year. This year it’s going to be more like 10 times I guess.
When I was in my teens I’d drink a lot more. These days I can take it or leave it.

Alcohol in any form has never been a thing for me. When I turned 21 I tried a few things, mainly wine and wine coolers. Didn't hold much attraction for me. There is only one brand of beer I like but I'm rarely wanting it. And anything harder than that I have a hard time getting down. I tried brandy once, but the burn is just horrible to me. I have acid reflux, so any of that would just mess me up bad.

I think the last time I had a beer was about 20+ years ago. But alcohol makes me sleepy and about half way through a beer I want to go to bed. My wife says I'm a cheap date.
