Beltane 7

[jamesq]

Short version:

1) Won the archery tournament.
2) Saw lots of friends get awards, which is cool.
3) Got plenty of hugs from good looking women.
4) Spent quality time with conejita_diabla (see #3, above), who drove me home.
5) Got liquored up because I didn't have to drive.
6) Still looking for booze that doesn't upset my wimpy stomach.
7) Showed off my legs.

have you tried the flavoured ciders... they are often sweeter... even though they don't taste like cider to me ;)

i have a sweet tooth too... I like daquiries & coladas too... I drink Strongbow because it's the only "real" cider you can get here but I prefer Woodpecker which is a sweet cider you can buy back home.

my usual drink is Southern Comfort with sprite/7-up & often have trouble when the bar only has the basics like rum/rye/vodka etc.

Have you tried any of the coolers... I don't like rum but there are a few of the Bacardi Breezers I quite like... ditto with vodka & Mike's Hard Lemonade... I avoid all the Smirnoff coolers but that's because I got waaaay too drunk on Smirnoff Ice one time...

If you find something you like but the SCA bar doesn't carry it... you can always talk to Shane about adding it to the selection if he thinks others will like it too... or failing that you can buy your own & have the bar look after it... as long as you keep the receipt.

The sweet drinks I was referring to were the Grower's ciders (I think I had a Granny Smith, Orchard Berry and... something else on Saturday).

I've had (and like) the Smirnoff Ice coolers. They are my current drink of choice. I can manage about three of them before my stomach starts to object. Luckily I'm a cheap drunk and three gets me seriously wobbly.

Just about everything else I've tried tastes revolting. The worst was the scotch Wilma was drinking at the event. After my eyes stopped twitching, I wanted to wash the taste out of my mouth with Buckleys.
