Christmas Eve Drinking Thread

I'm drinking some Deschutes Fresh Haze IPA. Saving the big guns for tomorrow night 

The wife loves 1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel Zinfandel and Cabernet.

Check em out ??

Coca cola. Later tonight I'll switch to sparkling grape juice. Because I like to live dangerously ?

Martinelli’s in the single serving bottle.

Drinking a Bell's Christmas Ale right now.

Hoping Santa brings me a bottle of bourbon this year ?.

Either way, heading to Waco in the next few weeks to get Balcones Blue Corn Bourbon, 130 proof yet very smooth.

Cheers to all ?

Is this an AA message board? We have drinking threads everyday now. 

Whatever takes this stomach bug away that my son gave everyone! 

Had 1 glass of my homemade Zinfandel.  Off to deliver some gifts and then back home for more zin and cioppino.  

Sam Adams Winter Lager.

Playing fancy chef and cocktail bartender for about one-and-a-half clients, me and my fine lady, who doesn't much like the way liquor interacts with her chemo and side-effect meds, but it's a special occasion. Making experimental bourbon-based mixed drinks tonight. Will let you know if I create something special, if I remember it. No matter what, we will top off the evening with a tad of Benedictine and Brandy, a 35-year-old Christmas Eve tradition which once upon a time signified that the stockings were all hung, the presents were all wrapped, and Santa was about to arrive, but now that the kids are off on their own just means it's time for bed. Merry Christmas everybody!

Tried the cinnamon coke. It’s the first flavored coke I thought I might like...and it’s awesome!

In Ft. Myers drinking Key West Sunset Ale looking at the sunset from my balcony on the beach. Merry Christmas!

 Picked up a couple cases of this years Goose Island Bourbon County Stout last black friday. Intend on a few tonight, Christmas and New Years when Blue trounces Bama!! (ok, so I may just get so drunk I believe they do it. :P)

(btw, The Federalist BBA Zinfandel is damn good also, but getting hard to find.)

Had some Jameson's earlier...wife gonna make us some drinks hoping to find a kitty on my pillow tonight

The MGoGirlfriend and I just polished off a bottle of prosecco (her preferred bubbly) while she finished baking Christmas cookies, and will be moving on to something in the porter family with the mountain of appetizers that will serve as dinner, while we watch the 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol."

There certainly are worse ways to spend Christmas Eve.

I have no idea what my mom put in my drink. Mixture of vodkas and soda. Pretty good though. 

Mimosas followed by Sam Adam's winter ale

About 7 or 8 deep with MGD right now!!!

Breck Brew Snow Glare -- it's a hoppy winter wheat.

Merry Christmas all.

as soon as 'santa' gets done dealing with the 'reindeer' (read: cattle) in a few minutes, there might be some red pop in his future soon after that...

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA 

At my In-Laws this year, they don’t really drink, so no liquor for me this year...it sucks 

Southern Comfort and Egg Nog 

40:31 Pinot. Great new to market Wilamette Pinot. 

Give me a dose of Kratom, not bloated and I'll wake up tomorrow feeling great.
