Almost worth taking a trip to have it again. When you’re in a long term toxic relationship, you never realize how much it affects you when you’re in it. Once it’s over and you feel that weight lift, there’s a real sense of freedom that rushes back. It gives “drinking in all that life has to offer” a whole new meaning.

When I was about 4, my dad drank {shudder} Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. My nickname was Keek, and he used to say, "Hey Keek! Go get me a fooch." Now I REALLY hope that's not a negatively connotated word in any way....I have no idea where he got it, so if it means something awful, I'm terribly sorry!! Anywho...I always used to open it for him (pretty cool for a 4 year old!) and take a sip, which everyone thought was "cute." Ever though it was PBR, I seriously got a taste for it. NOTHING is better when you're super hot in the summer and you pop open an ice cold bottle of brew. Emmmm. Now that I'm on a buttload of medication I don't drink much, but hey, once in a while....right? : ) I love beer. LOVE. When I was about 4, my dad drank {shudder} Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.

Alcohol definitely gets in my way if I let it and I have really cut down lately. I have found however the new low carb beers really good as I can have a nice, long, cold (non-sweet) drink at the end of a day and it doesn't fuzz up my brain and send me to sleep.

Thanks for inviting us all to your party! You had me at: "From a more metaphorical standpoint, drinking deeply is about opening myself up to new experiences. It’s about accepting people and ideas and adventures that enrich my life." I couldn't have said it better myself. I got sober about 5 years ago and since then have had MULTIPLE opportunities to open myself up to new experiences! For me, drinking in life without drinking in my life has been quite an adventure. Sobriety has lead me down a path littered with people and ideas that I never would have expected to enjoy. Who would have imagined? I'll happily raise my glass to an adventurous life with you! We'll just have to make mine unleaded... This Eat, Pray, Love collaboration has been such a fun way to find new blogs. Thanks for inviting us all to your party!

Had it in Anguilla a couple weeks ago, don't know if I'll find it here. Usually I like darker lagers but I will try it with Guiness in a black and tan if I can find it. Carib, my new favorite.

And it's only 2:00 in the afternoon!

Bubbles make any drink for me fantasticorgasmic. Unfortunately the sugar in soda makes me fatter (I am fat enough don't need more), the chemicals in diet sodas give me headaches and the caffeine makes me jittery. The love of my life is also the hate of my life. I keep trying to give up Dr. Pepper but have this obsession with the bubbles. Bubbles make any drink for me fantasticorgasmic.

My grandpa used to give my sister and I a small cup when he fished, it was golden heaven. Then as I passed through my teen and college years I tried, and got miserably sick, on mixed drinks. It wasn't really until I was into my 30's that I found an appreciation for a good beer and I think that is representative of my life as well. As I age, I become wiser, I know what I really like, what tastes good, and what makes me feel good and often times a good beer, ale or lager (and sometimes a glass of good red wine or champagne) really completes a day or a meal!

Beer breath is sexy. Men who've been drinking beer always smell like oranges to me. Oh, I’m with you Maureen. Beer breath is sexy. Men who’ve been drinking beer always smell like oranges to me.
