Hipsterdom

[IdleRich]

Hi The Edge, how you doing?

 

[Simon silverdollarcircle]

But Miller High Life is largely built around the hipster identity, right? Look at those ads.

As for drinking in general, I think the hipster thing has definitely expanded beer, even gin more recently, no? Artisan gin, gin tastings. I'm all about it. Diversity among spirits.

I'm even for the far-out and fruity beers. I'll try almost anything, and enjoy it.

Have you tried carling black label?

Have hipsters made drinking better or worse?

I'm undecided. But I think if we were going to ascribe anything of lasting value to the reign of the hipster, it'd be most likely to come from their work on drinking

this is a question which agonises me. partly i think we just fell prey to a canny marketing operation. ive switched from bottles of beer to prosecco and neat spirits.

Greats adverts obviously.

Have you tried carling black label?

I haven't heard of that one, but I would try it. Probably.

 

[Simon silverdollarcircle]

It's superb. You're in for a treat.

 

[Simon silverdollarcircle]

Only go for the "black label" tho
That denotes the highest quality or "cru".

All other Carlings are markedly inferior and little worth your time

[constant escape]

Cocktails are a passion of mine too. Cocktails and theory.

youre too young for cocktails and next year you will be too old for theory.

i didn't start drinking cocktails till i turned 40.

If you’re going to do it, whiskey or brandy by the half pint. No sipping with raised pinkies like Englishmen either.

 

[constant escape]

Can I at least pretend to make cocktails with various juices and food colorings? I promise I won't make a mess!

 

[luka]

ok then. this was a big breakthrough cocktail night for me and woops we were aiming to drink everything on the menu.

Intoxication log

My brother showed up at Glastonbury with some acid chocolate he'd brought back from Amsterdam. I did a chunk around 6pm. An hour or so later I stomped up to the CND property store and I asked them if they'd look after any nuclear weapons I'd brought in, or would they be obliged to disarm them...

This makes sense to me. If you're going to drink, drink to get drunk. I have never understood those "just a small glass of white wine" types who spend 2 hour sipping a single glass. I want to hug them and tell them it's ok if they don't like drinking they don't need to do it, you don't need to pretend.

@Simon silverdollarcircle There are usually repercussions, violence being a consistent one.
