Friday Night Drinking (My Bracket is Already F***ed) Open Thread.
As is tradition, my bracket is done after the 2nd day, and I'm drinking to another 50 dollars wasted. Good luck to Michigan the rest of the night, I can't believe how well Ohio is shooting. What the hell are you going to do with that?
Hey George Clooney, Everybody gets pinched. But you did it right. You told 'em nothing and they got nothing...I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learned the two greatest things in life...Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.
If you drink enough, it can be any day you want it to be.

In that case, it must be Christmas morning for me
I though only stupid stick up men who fall asleep at the wheel get pinched, Karen.

megangoblue had her own UTL game today...it was awesome. Kicking back with some Shandy, maybe some whiskey later, with both games on the tube.
Weather is awesome, life is good; hopefully basketball and hockey keep it that way.
Were you ever in Germany then? Salvator isn't the most common beer ever.
Speaking of dark beers, I'm having the new Guinness black lager. It's pretty good, kind of like a porter. Or if you aren't a porter drinker, it's a little like a regular Guinness might be if it were more carbonated and a little less thick. Good stuff.
Woodford and coke
I'm drinking anything and everything I can get my hands on.

Please don't go under the kitchen sink
After tonight's game, I'll probably drink myself into a coma.
THAT'S IT. Clearly the NCAA tournament is broken and it's time for bowl system! WHO'S WITH ME?!
God damn all things.
Had a couple New Belgium Trippels, now it's on to Coors Light. Shit on my face.

Do yourself a favor by getting out of the ugli or wherever you are, polish off a liter of kamchatka and do something enjoyable.

My champion is out before my niece's......and she has Murray St winning it all!

I was trying to save my liver for my road trip to Chicago for St. Patty's, but this crappy day changed things. I placed 3 sports bets while in Vegas earlier this week: Michigan, Missouri, and Creighton. My longshot, never going to win it, random bet is the only one I have left. So for me it's a 6 pack of Honey Brown, and 6 pack of Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat and the wife just left to getting some more beer for good measure. Goodnight.

FOOTBALL SEASON BABY!!!!! hopefully hardaway and burke return so were unstoppable next
March 16th, 2012 at 10:04 PM ^
New Belgium Sunshine Wheat. Bracket is fuuuucked. I have to work from 7-5 tomorrow on my favorite holiday, besides all the green. Fuck Everything.
March 16th, 2012 at 10:05 PM ^
Well we played like shit and lost. Duke also lost so that takes some of the sting away. SOME. Drowning my sorrows with a bunch of Killians and then onto the hard stuff.
Mitch McGary. and GRIII....YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE(S)!

I suppose my pick of a Mizzou - Michigan final wasn't the wisest decision.
March 16th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
You should not have picked Jerel Worthy's biggest rival to make it to the finals. Picking Michigan was also a bad choice.

Also might crack open a bottle of brandy after this six-pack is done. Drinking to numb abig loss by a Michigan sports team...just like my college days.

Poured myself a big glass of Absolut on the rocks as our boys went scoreless in the last 4 minutes. After the buzzer, pulled out my Visa and bought 2 Party Patio passes to the Cowboy Classic in Dallas Sept 01 on StubHub. I need something to look forward to. See you in Big D, RDT. GO BLUE!

March 16th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^

Everyone should have started drinking this heavily when they were filling out their brackets. Clearly it would have helped...
especially when the guy thats currently #1 on ESPN's tourney pickem is named "DrinkinAtTheGame" http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/leaderboard?en…

1. Sparkling Burgundy (Monmousseau) saved for celebrating the win. Oh, well.
2. Dolin vermouth.
3. Portuguese anise liqueur (25%) (think Ouzo).
4. La veillee est jeune. (The evening is young.)
I'm pleased and excited that Michigan has its own breweries (Founders and ??) now pumping out stouts and IPA's. When I lived in AA and Detroit (early '70s) I'd make runs to Windsor to pick up cases Molson Export just to get something with a little taste. OK, now here comes the question that will chisel your arteries and frost your hearts:
I've sampled east-of-Mississippi microbrews from NC to northern WVa and in Chicago and NYC. The many different styles had different colors and names, but they really all tasted about the same, and it was boring. I haven't sampled Michigan. Really good beers and radical differences among the brews of a single brewhouse are common, if not quite the norm, here in Portland OR. How does Michigan compare with here?
