My favorite wines DO happen to be above $8 (most are in the $15 range), but believe me, I'll drink a $5 bottle of cheap reisling if its there.
I own up to being a wine snob. But I stand by the fact that cheap wine is bad. Try a bottle of $5 wine and then try a bottle of $30 wine - there's a difference. And FWIW, I put Reislings in the same category as White Zin.
I can taste the difference but I'll still drink "bad" wine because I still like it.
I don't judge people who drink, but I just don't get the appeal. At all. It's sooo not my thing that I can't relate. This makes me feel like an odd duck.
Well, if it makes you feel better, in UT I feel like the odd duck because I drink. My roommate always looks at me like I have 2 heads when I grab a beer from the fridge.
I love how everyone is all "the only time I threw up..." and "the only time I don't remember..." and I'm thinking "well, there was that time in Beer Bar, and then the time I laid on the floor at karaoke, and that time with the champagne, and oh, last month..."
Beer Bar is the most awesome one to me -- not exactly the most obvious drink-til-you-puke spot.
I'm trying to remember if I puked after the time we ended up at karaoke? Pretty sure I did. If not the night of, pretty sure the next morning. I'm much more of a next-day puker than a night-of puker.

I am too, but night-of puking is way better. Gets that shit out of your system sooner. I wish I could do it more often!

The Loopy is amazing. I used that in one of our signature drinks at our wedding with pineapple juice, a little sprite and a splash of blue curaco.
I, too, have cake vodka at home right now. I need to try it with the chocolate! I currently use it mixed with pineapple juice and a tiny bit of grenadine to make a pineapple upside down cake martini or shot. It is delish!

I think I said my one BAD vomit episode. I had plenty of others, but they were more "puke and rally" events.
I am much calmer now. I haven't thrown up since 2007

:-( No kidding. Hmmm, there was the time I brought a chocolate cake into bed and under the covers with me, the time I took my shoes off at the bar and then left them there, the night I slept on the porch in the snow...

As far as I know, I've only had one "puke and rally" episode. And that was three months ago.

Not all Reislings are sweet, OR (super)cheap. My favorite Reisling is dry and about $15ish.
I am not going to drink a good bottle of Merlot when I am trying to get drunk with my girlfriends. I save that for a dinner party.

I know! I know!
Next day puking is the worst. Particularly when it doesn't happen until late in the day.

LOL. I'm doing the same thing. There was the time I tried to do concrete angels in a parking lot, somehow walked into the wrong hotel room or last week played in the play place at Del Taco. In stilletos while Giant called me and my BFF down to come eat our kids meals.
How is white wine possibly pretentious? I am curious.
And I didn't know that bars in the US didn't let you mix with any soda. Here you usually get a very generous pour - like half the glass - of alcohol plus a can, so the mixer can be anything.
Lol where I am from if you go to a traditional bar and order a rum and coke you'll get a pint bottle of rum and a 20oz coke.

Here it is 1.5 oz of rum and 5 oz of coke.
My husband would cry. He ordered a double in England last time we were there and was like "WTF, where is my rum?" Well honey, some countries use actual measurements, not just the barman deciding you're a nice guy and filling your glass with straight liquor. Apparently he needs to go to baje's home country.
The last time I drank vodka (with the exception of my Long Island iced tea phase) was 11 years ago. I showed up to a NYE party with a bottle of vodka determined to get trashed. I didn't know the people whose house it was. I ended up puking in their bathtub (WTF? I guess I needed the large target). Now the thought of vodka makes me gag.
Now I am thinking of all the dumb things I have done while drunk. The list is scary long.
I once gave myself a third degree burn in my ear while drunk. I went outside to have a cigarette and decided to start weeding the flower garden. Scary part is I didn't even feel it until the next day.
