(no subject)
Well, there'll be plenty of other reports floating around about how I spent my birthday, so I figured I'd give you all some information straight from the source. and let me apologize for any typos or grammatical errors or anything like that, the reason for them should be quite obvious.
So yeah, I went to Rick's cafe with Mark, Derek, and Dave. They were kind enough to buy me drinks, and after a bit of prodding (I hate you guys [except Dave]), I drank them down. Now, here's the list to the best of my knowledge:
Southern Comfort: smooth, good, nice way to start the evening.
Captain Morgan's: seemed pretty strong for some reason, made me a little wobbly but nothing serious, it was alright
There was something else here that tasted like black licoriche (sp), but I don't remember what it was called. (EDIT: Jagermeister, thanks Gordon)
Miodri sour: mixed drink curteousy of Dave. good stuff, I think I definately like mixed drinks
Kamikazi: we looked it up afterward, but I don't remember what's in it. point is, it was really good stuff.
Bud Light: aka "water." just drink the water, Mike! gah, the water was nasty, it seriously made me a bit queasy, and not because of the alcohol content.
Jim Bean (EDIT: beam, not bean): Derek's second best friend, and I can see why. he was a rather nice fellow.
Long Island Iced Tea: bane of my existance. it was good, and at the time my companions seemed to imply that if I finished it we'd go to get pizza. so what do I do? I chug the entire drink. needless to say, I went from "buzzed" to "drunk" very shortly thereafter.
{insert intermission for eating pizza and returning to Holmes here}
here things get fuzzy for a bit, I drank a couple other things, and then gave thanks to the porcelain god for the bounty he had bestowed upon me. then we watched Mr. T in short shorts working out with little kids. it was quite amusing. and, well, throwing up helped me sober up a tad, and now I'm here typing fairly coherently to all of you.
and after I got done typing out the LJ post about my night, I crawled into bed and slept for a very long time...
EDIT: Alright, just for posterity's sake I'm gonna put down the recipes for a few of the mixed drinks I had. I dunno, maybe over the summer I'll try to learn how to mix them properly, seems like a convenient skill to have. So then, here we go.
Kamikaze
1 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Triple Sec
1 oz. Lime Juice
Mix with cracked ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass.
Long Island Iced Tea
1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Gin
1/2 oz Light Rum
1/2 oz Tequila
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1 dash Cola
Ice
Combine ingredients and pour into a glass 1/2 full of ice. Add cola for color and top with a slice of lemon.
Damn, no wonder it screwed me up so much after chugging it...
And finally, Bud Light
cabonated water
pure crap
