…cocktail?

…mocktail?

…fat tire? (Pint? Half?)

…pink gin?

…cosmopolitan?

Do you drink ‘differently’ out en femme.

Pray tell. 💚

@valentina16 Gin for me, either with tonic or in a cocktail; Negroni is a favourite!

@scottyjane And if you go out en femme, do you change your drink selection?

@valentina16 I very rarely drink alcohol, if I do it's whisky.

I drink mostly coffee.

@annaredhead I don’t drink by myself, not for altruistic righteous reasons, just I prefer sharing drinks with others and the conversation. So, what type o’ whisky?! 💚

@valentina16 Generally a peaty single malt. I'm not an expert though. My current bottle is an unaged Cornish whiskey which will last me months

Hugs,

@annaredhead So, apart from unaged (? Must be at least 3 years?) Cornish whisky (or whiskey?), I’m guessing you enjoy Lagavulin and Talisker? Maybe if you really are in a peaty mood, Laphroaig?

@valentina16 As a rule, I don't drink. I'll do ONE shot with friends to make a worthy toast, or ONE glass of wine with dinner, but that's it. New Year's Eve, I had an interesting, but solo, evening planned. After 3 weeks of trying out CD living in October, I had to shut it down for 2 months. NYE I was bursting back into it, aiming higher than ever before (and succeeded!) But I was understandably a little nervous, so I allowed myself a white wine spritzer. JUST enough to take the edge off, but not enough to dull my wits...because I was anticipating needing my wits at 100%. So there's a long answer to a short question. 😉

@kendra2024 Although ‘tipple’ does really imply alcohol, I did, in the interests of those who have been gripped (I was going down that road but managed to pull myself up), I did include Mocktails, not to rule anyone out of answering.

Re NYE parties, I heard that Eric Clapton (once heavily into everything) decided to arrange his own parties, no alcohol (or any other ‘substances’) as it was the only way to not get sucked back in.

Fave tipple in no particular order.  

  • bourbon
  • scotch
  • gin
  • vodka
  • IPA
  • pinot noir
  • merlot

I'm trans.  Whatever I'm in the mood for is what I drink.

No. because I don't drink alcohol and now that I'm 70 I don't go out much, mainly because my wife is 78 and is showing her age as well as myself.

Back in my Navy days, I was a beer drinker, sometimes Scrumpy. Later in life I started on while wine, the red did something weird to my insides LOL. Then I began making wine at home, I did that for many years. Then, on the day of the Queens funeral, I toasted her memory one too many times, fell heavily on a piece of furniture at home, suspected that I had broken ribs, but thankfully xrays proved that I didn't. I haven't had a drop since and mainly drink water or a cuppa tea now.

@valentina16 Pusser's is my favourite. Back in the day, thr rum ration was something we all enjoyed. Pusser's is the closest match to what we used to get. I can buy Pusser's here in the USA. I haven't bought any since 2020.

Tea. The greatest drink on planet Earth. Good old Assam or English Breakfast. Made in a tea pot and allowed to brew. The tea pot in our house rarely goes cold!

If talking alcohol...

Ice cold vodka, neat. The only way is should be drank.

Proper real ale, a couple of degrees below ambient temperature.

@dazzler I’m with you all the way. Though I will go the extra mile with a mixture of Earl Grey and Assam/Breakfast in the afternoon, again in a tea pot, in a china cup (never mug) preferably Old Blue Willow. Refined and so ‘right’. Haven’t quite elevated to little cucumber sandwiches with the crusts taken off, but one day I might. 

Have to say I’ve never tried vodka like that and generally steer away from it as I began to abuse it in my teens. My bad.

If I'm drinking alcohol then yes I drink differently.

No mug of beer, it's a nice Vodka Collins. No boilermaker, it's a glass of sherry.

Proper real ale for me preferable a nice traditional bitter or stout but I am also partial to a nice pint of real cider or proper German or Belgian lager on a warm day.

Can't spend much time in this thread as for decades, I suppose I was what they call a 'control alcoholic' or a 'functioning alcoholic' as not a day went by when I didn't have a drink of some description (although I rarely got drunk); probably from age sixteen or thereabouts. Then, as I've said on other threads, a chance blood test told me my liver enzymes were elevated and it didn't take much of a search on the internet to see which ones and why they would be. Two weeks later, on the day of my birthday, I gave up drinking alcohol altogether and not a drop has passed my lips for two and a half years.

Having said that, and just for a bit of nostalgia, I will tell you that in my drinking days I would take anything apart from whisky (disgusting stuff) but my favourites were South American red wine, heavy stouts like Guinness and porter, with cider on hot summer days, and for shorts, mostly vodka, tequila and the occasional dark rum.

I can't say if my en femme drinking habits would be different since I didn't start cross-dressing until after I'd given up alcohol—a substitute perhaps? Ah well, could have picked a more unhealthy one, I suppose.

I think the confidence I lost when I when I stopped drinking alcohol has come back as the new-found confidence I get when I am dressed as Becca, so every cloud...

@rebeccabaxter Smart move Ms.Baxter, smart move. I suffered from gout during lockdown and cut-a-long-story-short, stopped drinking. Then I realised that the gout was exacerbated not so much by the alcohol but by not drinking enough water. Simples. So I now enjoy a glass of red wine with my roast beef (or juicy medium-rare steak). And maybe a small glass or three of whisky with my close male buddies. But careful not to forget the water or soft non-sugary drinks. I also enjoy soft drinks, always chilled out of nice/cut glass. You don’t actually need alcohol. Bottoms up!! 💚

Richard Leakey, yes, the son of that famous Leakey, once gave a lecture on anthropology to a bunch of Americans by starting off, "First off tea is not something you drink from a styrafoam cup." He then went only to explain all about tea crockery and its many types, then drew it all together by smashing it and leaving a few random pieces in tthe dirt. This, he explain, is what modern anthropologist face. I learned a lot about anthropology, but even more about tea.

As for vodka, if you have to drink it ice cold itt is provably bad vodka. Good vodka should be drank at room temp. Just like beer, good beer iis good at cellar temp, but bad beer needs to be drank cold, the colder the better.

As for anything neat, some prefer it, but I like my scottch with a splash. It brings out the taste and reduces the burn, which hides the taste. I was quite please when ttasting scotches in Inverness that flifghts were served with water and a dropper.

Valentina a great topic and Tipple. Now there's a term I haven't heard for many years. The last person I remember saying that was my grandmother.

I do drink differently depending on if I'm in female or male mode not that I drink often or a lot. Male mode I generally drink bourbon with coke. When I'm female however it has to have bubbles. I really enjoy a decent champagne or prosecco.

@rebeccabaxteroliviac TY, weem havin sum fun here. My son has just moved to Sydney and he tells me the supermarket prices for alcohol are (compared to the UK at least) “extreme”. $70 for 24 beers?! Is he going to the wrong store I wonder. It’s a wonder there isn’t a call for moonshine. 🥹

Chin-chin!! 🥂

@valentina16 No sadly he's not going to the wrong store. That's how much we get hit for a decent beer. There are plenty of places you can do brew your own beer where it is much cheaper but you have to commit to buying it in 20 litre lots. Wine however is cheap I think. $20 (10 pound) will buy you a good red white or bubbles. If you want to go from $30 up to $60 you can get something outstanding.

@oliviac I will hook up with you if I may. I do a veritable (makes you cry) version of Band Played Waltzing Matilda, similar for Willie McBride; more fun with Now I’m Easy, and of course there’s that tongue in cheek Aussie Barbecue song, lol. He’s still singing? Brilliant. I think he’s 80 or so. I saw Peggy Seeger a couple of years ago, just after Covid, 86, still sang and played like a youngster, lovely lady (wife of Ewan MacColl of course). Hope I can still finger pick like her when I’m 86!

Hopefully see you around. 💚

@valentina16 Wow Valentina writing a musical. That takes some talent. As someone who can't read music and generally does everything just by ear I have always thought how awesome it would be to sight read and just be able to play straight away what you read from the score. Writing the score that's a whole next level.

Hi Ladies,

Think I may have put my Two bottle capsules" worth on this thread before.

BEER. Heinken zero

WINE Good high quality, (only) Australian red or white wine from premium areas such as Coonawarra, Clare or Mc Laren Vale in South Oz. Mostly reds from these areas, except for Clare Rieslings (Outstanding)

Margaret River in the West for lovely reds and whites, mostly Cabernet for red. Chardonnay. Semillon and Verdelho for whites

Victorian reds, Heathcote and Bendigo Tahhbilk central Vic Shiraz and Cabernet,

NSW Hunter Valley. Shiraz Semillon and Chardonnay.

Been a keen purchaser, cellar collector and consumer for over 50 years and yes, when in Caty mode enjoy them all. But with emphasis on good whites. eg Margaret River Chardonnay when out having a "femme" dinner.

Hic!

Caty

@valentina16 Hello Valentina,

With emphasis on the "sewer". Give me a day or 3 and I'll PM you with some of my favorite Aussie makers.

Now if you are trying to do "oz" lingo, let me return a the (sincere) compliment

"Large VAT please Dave and one for yourself. "Put it on the slate"

Ah great memories of "Tal" and " Arfur" fighting "Bent filth" Chisholm in "Minder" from the bar at the "Winchester". Otherwise they'd be doing  " a stretch in the "Scrubs"

The triple rhyming Cockney slang was a joy to hear and with no apologies to anyone who does not understand it

"Oh my gawd is that the time". I just checked my "kettle" and I gotta "have it a way on my toes to my lock up"

Kettle=Kettle and Hob, hob watch, watch. I gotta get out of here...Lockup=Storage unit.

 

Simple really!!

 

Caty.

 

PS  Still have most of the whole Minder series on DVD.

PSS Somehow not a word  about Crossdressing got into this post..
