| Are nightcaps no longer in vogue? ..and i don't mean sleepingcaps.
I had one last night.. I prefer vodka. Worked great to help me relax and sleep well.
You ever have them?

| | Sometimes I like a few beers at night, but I'm not much for the hard stuff, the only time I drank that was to get..............up! If I could find the right wine I'd probably like that more as a nightcap. |

to get up!
My other alternative has been benadryl.. but man... it's hard to wake up form that stuff... So the wee bit of vodka in some tasty grape juice really hit the spot last night.

| Half a wine glass of port most every night around this time. It's good for the anemia and I sleep better.  _________________ "Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?" Exodus 15:11

That conjurs up two images..
One.. all those black and white movies from the 50's where everyone has a fully stocked bar and hits it several times a day.
The second?

| uh oh.. I am a stumbling block.
If we're taking spanish drinks here .. I prefer Pina Coladas ...or however you spell it.
Although I don't celebrate Cinco de mayo..haha. i don't know why Mexican's do either.. There country would be much better off right now if they would have stayed under the control of Spain.

That is how it is spelled. A little too sweet for me. Although I do like rum drinks, I much prefer tequila.

Well, generally speaking, Mexicans just enjoy a fiesta. For myself, it's simply a small nodd to heritage. ...I'm reminded of that line in the beggining of Gladiator where the Roman army is about to utterly pummel those tribespeople and the second in command sez something like.. "Why don't they give up? Don't they realize they are conquered?" To which Maximus asks, "Would you?"  _________________ only symbols can be twisted ,burned,spat on etc.NOTHING truly Holy can be desecrated.....

I can't do Tequila. It doesn't agree with my stomach in the least. Now Rum.. I'm a scallywag and I have no problems with rum.

| Usually a couple of good beers make a good nightcap for me. Usually something medium to very-full bodied.
Lately I've been yearning for a dark & stormy. Dark rum, ginger beer and a twist of lime. 'Tis the season where they're perfect.
A good glass of (usually red) wine is always a treat. Next time you're heaving meat for dinner, try Menage A Trois red. Its a blend of three red wines, and its a VERY good table wine for a great price.
No tequila here. I'll drink an occasional margarita, but not very often. Even good TaKillYa hits me hard. _________________ Is this love? 'cause its not what I expected

| I have to have something before teh sleep but it's usually water or milk or juice (the last two are bad habits because I go afterwards and sometimes it doesn't taste great a few hours later). Never understood alcohol of any kind, and I've tried a fair amount (full red wine to beer to sake..). Maybe, maybe, maybe once in a while I would have it with a meal (if it was a totally traditional, authentic Italian dish or etc), but overall I just don't get it. I feel like the only person in the world like this and I'm going to go make a fort from the couch cushions.  _________________ Dark motions, black eyes, and mournful lust, the wings of solitude ...I'm the hateful raven
