Football Eve drinking thread
It has just struck midnight, and it's football eve. Like Christmas eve, but with football. Wondering what folks are using to get themselves through 'til 3:30.
I decided to go classy tonight with some ten-year Ardbeg. Wish I had a good Michigan brew like Oberon or Two-Hearted, though.

GO BLUE!

Oban 14. I love scotch.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:13 AM ^
Nice 'n smokey. I love it!
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:45 AM ^
Excellent choice, can't go wrong with that. I need to restock soon - my Ardbeg & Glenmorangie are running low. We'll see what looks good & what's on sale when I get there.

Football Eve was 2 minutes ago. It's Football DAY now.
Ice cold beer.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:03 AM ^
Water tonight:
Surly Cynic and Lake Superior Extra Ale for tomorrow.
Go Blue!

Never had the real deal, but made a clone that turned out great.

Absinthe. Hitting up the Left Bank tonight and trying not to get freaked out by all the mimes.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:04 AM ^
coors light. I've just watched the same hype video posted in the official mgoblog hype video thread.

I went back to my old friend Miller Lite in a can. I know its cheap bottom of the barrel stuff, but I like it.
Anyone ever gone to the victors lounge? We are considering skipping the tailgate and checking it out. We made it in the list and may check it out.

and gave her a suggestive look.
She looked at me like I was crazy.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
Kiss her gently on the mouth...

Next time hang the misteltoe from your beltbuckle. Much classier, and with a better upside.

All that's in the house is Smirnoff Ice

Is that the scotch that smells just like a bonfire? If so, I had this recently, and couldn't stop smelling my glass. It was wonderful. And the taste was very, very smooth.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:57 AM ^
Hmm, not sure if it reminds me of a bonfire, although one might think of it that way. It does have a very strong & distinct smell, though. It's the peatiest scotch I've come across, which is why I like it - I always like strong flavors, be it IPAs & stouts, strong red wines, flaming hot wings, etc.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:10 AM ^
my mind right now is like,
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:15 AM ^
Basil Hayden this evening. I prefer Scotch whisky but, from time to time, a mellow bourbon goes down quite well.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:23 AM ^
and this.
September 3rd, 2011 at 1:14 AM ^
great find, not helping make the 14 hours and 15 minutes go by any faster though.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:16 AM ^
In a can, in the shower. Coldest beer I've ever drunk. I've also had about 3 mojitos tonight as well, but they weren't as good as that shower beer.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:20 AM ^
should i admit to the internet i will probably be drunk off cheap vodka and fuckin andres before the game tomorrow?
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
Blue Moon and Labatt Blue (notice a theme)...
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:25 AM ^
Perhaps you should take a shot of UV Blue, then chase it with Blue Raspberry Jones Soda before taking another shot consisting of Burnett's Blueberry Rum.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:45 AM ^
Believe me, all of that has crossed my mind!

September 3rd, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
Budlight tonight. I keep it classy.

I normally have a keg of Miller Lite in the kegerator but I am going on vacation on Wednesday and didn't restock as a result. Bought a case of Miller High Life this afternoon in the event I drained it between this afternoon and any time during game day. I drained it tonight and have gotten half way through the first 12-pack. Now I am left wondering if I should go to the store pre-game just in case...caveat to my dillema - I am on west coast time and kickoff is at 1230 local time for me. Heres to crossing the fingers and hoping betwee 12-18 last me tomorrow and if not the whiskey isn't too much.

Ambitious footballer. Unbelievable shots. Guy really knows how to take his half chances. Thanks for sharing.

Right now I'm doing Fris vodka + soda + lime.
But I went looking for beer for tomorrow and everything is Oktoberfests and Pumpkin Ales and such, and it's been 100 DEGREES for the last 2 days in Chicago. This don't feel anything like footbawwww weather!
My new absolute favorite booze is Hendricks Gin, I drank Bombay Sapphire for years when I would drink gin (not so often, mostly vodka), but I much prefer Hendricks.
Here's a Detroitini recipe:
4 parts Hendricks (whatever you decide a "part" equals)
1 part McClure's (http://www.mcclurespickles.com/) garlic pickle juice
Capful realime or 1 real lime
1 teaspoon giardiniera liquid
Fill shaker with ice, add ingredients and shake like Jesus was gunna judge you on that shizzle!
Win!

A nice treat from my Brother. I will also note that it is my daughter's birthday tomorrow and she will be 3. I told her that tomorrow it gets better as a Michigan fan*. She has lived through just about as many losses in her lifetime as I have in mine.
GO BLUE!
Do not misconstrue this as a RR bash. I wish he was still here.......as an offensive coordinator.

September 3rd, 2011 at 12:31 AM ^
Decided to be cheap tonight and go with Coors Light. These mountains are like 5 shades of blue.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:34 AM ^
6 pack of Tecate...about to have a glass of pappy van winkle 20 year then off to bed. 8am tee time and a days worth of football! woooo!
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^

New Belgium just made it here to DC, so I'm enjoying some Fat Tire on this hallowed eve.
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:56 AM ^
Leinei's October Fest. Nothing too special, but still good.

For a wedding. Anything and everything, as long as it's expensive bourbon and beer

Drinking games using Smirnoff + SoCo + Cuervo = delicious and potent.
<br>Moved onto pepsi + vodka.
