What are your favorite alcoholic beverages? Have you tried AA or anything similar, and if so how did that go?
I haven't done AA but if I get bad again I might consider it. For now I'm actually going through a lighter phase because I have a vape pen and would rather weed be legal here because it would let me cut way down on drinking as a release/crutch. I can get stoned off my balls and wake up and be fine but alcohol hangovers are another story.
In the befortimes(I'm vegan btw) I really dug milk stouts but now my main focus is on any craft beer that doesn't use lactose or other animal parts in their brewing. IPA from across the hop spectrum are good. I like more fruity and juicy hops now and less metallic/pine-y. So the current trend is great.
Outside of beer, vegan friendly red wines are awesome. Ménage à Trois Merlot and Cabs have been my go-to over the last few years. Apothic makes some great wines in the same price range but sadly not vegan. The best I've had was a $70 bottle from my MiL's cousin's vineyard out in CA. It was aged post purchase for like 12 years and they were gonna just throw it out. I was like "hell nah, gimme that" lol.
I Also like whiskeys, bourbons, and scotches but am not super knowledgable. I guess I like peaty stuff? That's what my whiskey nerd friends have deduced at least.
Forgot to finish my beer thought. Aside from IPAs, I like sours, gose, belgian style ales, some porters, and there ain't nothing wrong with a kolsh on a hot day. I will drink most beer but tend to stay away from macros unless I am super broke and having a bad day.
