Today's Holy Water was Nickel's responsibility... since i can see it hasn't been done *big shock...*  I'll do it.  Tonight, we highlight Budweiser...  why?  Because nobody else wanted to do it.  Also... Budweiser is one of the most prolific alcohol products on the market...  it's a rare person indeed who has not had a Bud.  Further, Budwesier provided one of Cajun's favorite quotes, but i'm too lazy to post it so you can look it up on the grizzly chess site (plug).  By the way.. Cajun sucks.  This is  a photo of what i think Nickel looks like when he's sending me zms professing his undying love for me.

that title is a bit of a misnomer...  Today's Holy Water is not really water... heck, it's not even liquid anymore.  This is something special.  See, you put your alcohol into this lovely, compact AWOL (alcohol-without-liquid) machine and it vaporizes it and mixes it with oxygen... then, you inahle.  You get drunk... you don't have to pee every five minutes and there is NO hangover later...  i really don't see the downside here...   so, for all of you people who thought oxygen bars were dead, you were wrong!  they're not dead... they're evolving... into regular bars... like they should have done from the beginning.

okay... so yesterday there wasn't a holy water... there IS an explanation though.  i couldn't see straight.  typing was way out of the question...  that's why today's holy water is in tribute to all of the lovely beverages that helped me reach this wonderful milestone in drunkeness.  so, let's do the line up... we haaaaaaaaaave, beer (of assorted varities), margaritas, pina coladas... not nickel's roofie colada, tequila straight up, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand to top it all of there were some bottles of wine... but by the time i got to it everything just tasted like drunk.  so anyway... if you're looking to get drunk... it doesn't really matter what you drink... just drink lots.

 

Today, I celebrate.  This is a special occasion.  You see, this is the last Holy Water I have to do for a while, which warrants something really special...and, well, there's just nothing more special than Dom.

You could spend more.  Much more, in fact.  You won't do any better, though, and you probably won't do as well.  A bottle of vintage Dom Perignon can be had for about $200, which may be difficult to think of as a bargain, but it is.  The 1996 vintage was particularly remarkable -- easily the best Dom of my adult life. 

Dom is subtle stuff, and the various tastes are difficult to pin down -- I get wheat, tropical fruit and nuts, all in a wonderfully delicate wine that somehow maintains fullness of body. 

The verdict?  It's the best there is.

 

I'm not really one for beer, but when the mood strikes me, this interesting wheat ale from the Calgary microbrewery, Big Rock, is one of my favorites.

It's a clone of the german Kristall Weisen style, which means it's an easy drinking, lightly hopped beer without a lot of complexity or weirdness.  To me, these are good things.
