At one time in my life, I kept a rather well-stocked bar in my apartment (in a state where that was legal) and prided myself on mixing a nice cocktail. If you keep a half-dozen basic kinds of alcohol around, and a couple of flavors of soda pop, you are in business. I had 10-12 kinds of booze, sour mix, coconut milk, fresh fruit, tonic, and several kinds of soda. Over time I realized that everyone I knew just wanted a beer, and they’d just as soon get it at the local watering hole, where there were pinball games. Oh well. It was tasty while it lasted. Now I keep only my favorite Southern Comfort handy. I haven’t had a drink in months, but I will if I ever get caught up on work!

Sweden has found another way to recycle. Almost all alcoholic drinks smuggled into Sweden illegally that the government seizes are now turned into biogas to run public vehicles. Last year 700,000 liters (184,000 US gallons or 154,000 UK gallons) were converted to biogas for buses, trucks, and one train. (via Arbroath)

THE WIFE

An unhappy wife was complaining about her husband spending all his free time in a bar, so one night he took her along with him. "What'll you have?" he asked.

"Oh, I don't know. The same as you I suppose," she replied.

So, the husband ordered a couple of Jack Daniel's and threw his down in one shot. His wife watched him, then took a sip from her glass and immediately spat it out.

"Yuck, that's TERRIBLE!" she spluttered. "I don't know how you can drink this stuff!"

"Well, there you go," cried the husband. "And you think I'm out enjoying myself every night!"

Another drunken night

A man, whose level of drunkenness was bordering on the absurd, stood up to leave a bar and fell flat on his face.

"Maybe all I need is some fresh air," thought the man as he crawled outside.

He tried to stand up again, but fell face first into the mud.

"Screw it," he thought. "I'll just crawl home."

The next morning, his wife found him on the doorstep asleep.

"You went out drinking last night, didn't you?" she said.

"Uh, yes," he said sheepishly. "How did you know?"

"You left your wheelchair at the bar again."
