Wasted Brains

Dan Mayer is the latest addition to my Drinks-After-Work Drinking Buddies directory over there on the right sidebar. Dan lives in Denver, Colorado, USA, and as well as a regular blog, Dan writes a very popular regular column reviewing energy-drinks (Energy-Drink Reviews). The good thing about his reviews is that often they provide interesting and useful information about the possibilities of mixing each energy-drink with various alcholic beverages. Dan also has randomly-displayed images and lots of interesting "Wasted Brains" projects.

Last night I headed straight from work to the local bottle store, from whence I obtained one bottle of Cointreau, one bottle of Tanqueray gin, and a cocktail stirring spoon. From there I proceeded directly home, where I made 1951 Martinis and drank them. Yes it's true, Jeremy's cogent remarks on my recent post detailing the events of last weekend left me with such a goddamn thirst that I felt possessed of very little alternative than to mix and serve my own. So I did. To myself. They are a very, very, very good drink and almost-unnacceptably "moreish". I was able to write several important, candid and uncharacteristically-lucid emails under the influence; a bit later, when I had Indian takeaways with Shana at her new place in Lower Hutt, I was even inspired to order entirely the wrong thing in burst of intoxicated and misguided enthusiasm.
