What is the activity you do most while drinking. I assume most people are at a bar when they drink, but while at home what do you usually find yourself doing? If I'm all alone enjoying a few good pours I end up sitting online and watching the simpsons on DVD (big fan) or maybe a movie that I've already seen so I don't really have to pay attention.....................
On-line poker tournaments. Got a nice thick pour of Buffalo Trace, and lady luck. So far tonight the BT has been better than the luck.
Hmmm, I almost never drink at bars except when I'm out of town.
I usually read, and its usually a novel. I prefer it in my big, overstuffed leather chair in our living room / library. Sometimes I'm reading in bed, occasionally sitting up to take a sip.

Depends...If I'm home and enjoying a "few" adult beverages...I'm either singing to myself (or my poor wife) Playing on my computer, playing pinball, watching sports or entertaining a couple friends...I'm a man of many talents! http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/drink.gif
I like a good book, murder mystery mostly. Like James Patterson or Michael Connelly. Also, being online reading these forums, makes me very thirsty. So I usually have a pour or three...
I don't usually drink in bars. It's the whole drinking and driving thing that scares me. You could loose a lot just for enjoying a whiskey. Plus, with over 270 bottles in my bar, Ohio can't give me a better selection. Plus, I get a great deal on the bar tab at the end of the night!!
I do love to sit with my wife and taste a few bourbons. We love to talk about the whiskies. She's a big rye fan... Gotta love that in a woman! http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/smile.gif
What I like to do most and what I usually do are two different things. I like to drink with good company the most, especially with a good cigar. Over a good game of poker is even better.
What I usually do is enjoy a drink after work while perusing the mail or checking email.
You aren't the sharkman guy that used to be on the radio?
That's easy. I usually formulate my nightly strategy to TAKE OVER THE WORLD. (It's Pinky, Pinky and the Dane, Dane, Dane, Dane.......) http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...0358-devil.gif
That's an odd assumption to make, if you consider how much time and effort we spend hunting down and buying great bourbons. I know I buy them to enjoy consuming them. With so much great bourbon at home (25+ and counting), and damned near nothing worthwhile in 1/2 the bars I visit (the other half at least have Wild Turkey), I can't justify paying bar prices for mediocrity.Quote:

Besides, I'm usually only in a bar while Bonnie and I are waiting for a table at whatever restaurant we're visiting.
That being said, I, like Tim, am usually reading. Either online, or a book or magazine. That or just contemplating how great life is with such magnificent bourbon to drink!
I'm a musician, and I play in a lot of bars, but I only have a beer or two when I'm out, as I need to keep focused on the music (and the drive home). So my bourbon drinking is done mostly at home, usually while surfing the web or watching TV. I especially enjoy a bourbon with friends, or while watching HBO with my wife on Sunday nights (anyone else watch "Carnivale" or "Deadwood"?...Great shows!!).
