Well Terry since I stopped drinking, smoking pot, doing pills and shooting heroin, I relieve work stress by relaxing around the bonfire here in Letterville. At least I can start saving money now for all my legal prescriptions. Y'know I never had felt the pain or the work stress during my ol'lifestyle.

Got involved out in the shop's shed and forgot happy hour. Imagine that! I'm drinking coffee instead of margaritas or miller lite. Oh well I'm happy anyway.

Ahh! booze got home last night bout 7.30 had shower, walked up the road to the Pub had a steak followed by a few pints of Batemans Best Bitter played darts and stayed till the wee small hours talking with the landlord Chris.As this is England and I live on the east coast it was p*ssing down so got wet through. Today still raining (typical, thinking of chaging name to NOAH)) so am at work preparing a few signboards for next week, if it stops raining i might get the bike out and go for a BLAT round the countryside if not then its the washing and take the dog for a walk. You lucky buggers in the US at least you can travel to get away from crap weather we just live with it thats it now cold and wet till next year then maybe a week in july when you see the sun. Merry Olde England pah!! anyone in Florida wanna swap?

Our Friday at 4:00pm ritual is a Coors Light or a Molson Canadian. I'm thinking of changing this to like, the Wednesday night ritual 'cause I promise everything for "the end of the week" making Friday at 4:00 the busiest time at the shop. We're always hiding the bottles as clients come in. Man, the place would run a lot smoother if it weren't for customers! Posts: 110 | From: Collingwood, Ontario, Canada | Registered: Nov 1998

I get this manure chomping grin all over my face reading this, and no longer wonder just why oh why through the ages Sign Men / Walldogs have had the reputation of being tipplers and having a steady hand anyway.
There are of course degrees, and exceptions, and therefore the rule is validated, I'm just having fun going down the row of posts, so don't jump down my throat...
As for an old has-been like me, I’ve been there and done that, and for over ten years now I have celebrated with just putting my feet up without also bending the elbow to lift a drink.

Just a cold sodie water here. There is no such thing as "pop" or "sodas". If you are going to have a soft drink in Texas you are going to have a "coke", whether it is a Dr. Pepper, Coca Cola, Sprite, etc.
It's a good thing that I don't like the taste of alcohol - I would probably be a drunk.

ahh... a pale, crisp, golden concoction of Bohemian malt, water and aromatic Saaz hops, fermented to approximately 5% alcohol, chilled, aged, bottled, and transported all the way from Havlicek in the Czech Republic to my local packy, for the extremely reasonable sum of $5.99 a six-pack. Or at times, a glass of fine Irish barley, malted, roasted, and distilled by those lovely folks at Jameson's in Midleton, County Cork, served over ice with a splash of water.
And down at the local, after dinner, the barman pours a fine pint of Guinness, pride of Dublin, coal black with a perfect creamy head, and I raise my glass in salute to free trade. Slainte!

When I use to drink, it was an ice cold Canadian style caesar, made with Mott's Clamato Juice (not tomato juice!) and celery salt (not coarse salt!)on the rim.
These days, it's a freshly brewed cuppa columbia coffee. Better yet, a large Tim Hortons, double cream, single sugar.

Since you asked..... I'm a big fan of water and iced tea. After noon, I may have a beer.. or 7.. Miller Genuine draft ONLY... occasionally.. GlenLivit on the rocks. I like a fine Pinot Noir at art receptions or around the campfire in my yard... We have no bars or coffee shops in rural Utah. Or art galleries either, for that matter! hahahaha LE

For malt whiskey drinkers, try GlenMorangie if you get the chance. Gotta agree with you on the ice thing Santo. David
