Needs more Kraft singles.

Listen, not all of us can afford grape scissors.

Speaking as someone who's done this before, I'm pretty sure that glass was originally a candle.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you think about it, all glass once was a candle!

While you might disagree, very dry beverages have never been enjoyable through a straw to me.

I'm no stranger to booze straws, but red wine would be one of my last choices for one for me.

It's because dry beverages aren't very tasty

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a pretty bold statement (though TBH I don't really disagree). I'm not a big fan of dry beverages generally speaking, but different strokes for different folks; even for the same folks, tastes evolve (the booze I enjoy now was disgusting to me half a lifetime ago); and also context matters a lot. I have enjoyed dry red wines much more with a well paired dish or even mixed with a less dry drink than I have by themselves.

People who are not you or me can apparently even enjoy them without accommodation.

A straw still sounds like an unappealing addition, though.

My comment was tonge-in-cheek, enjoy whatever you like :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The feeling is mutual!

It's just a powder if it's dry then, innit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand why (even while I sense it happening to me in real time) but it seems like part of getting older is enjoying drinks that are shitty on purpose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I think most people develop a positive association with them because of the pleasant effects. That hasn't happened to me yet though, and probably won't. I prefer when my drinks taste good, like actually taste good like a fruity fizzy drink, not like I'm drinking something fermented way past its prime. I still do drink wine or beer in social gatherings to fit in but I don't really enjoy it. I just have them when there isn't anything else.

Now I want a Moscato juice pouch. Are these a thing yet? How do I make this a thing?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think if you stick to one glass on a weekday, should be fine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Good for your heart, even.

Lose the glass. Embrace the de-boxed space bag with a spigot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Get a long crazy straw and then squeeze the bag under your arm like the patron saint of bagpipes and alcoholism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Now there's a brand new sentence

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Goon of fortune.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Slap the bottle doesn’t hit as hard as slapping the bag!

Are you in a locker room? By yourself? Why? And with this assortment of cheese? Why?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Those cheeses pair nicely with the locker room scent. If you were cultured you would know this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Wine and cheese party I'd guess

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

speaking as someone who is currently trying to stop drinking every day: this looks delicios

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I do this and if you add a slice of fruit to the edge no one questions it at all

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Damn right 1 glass! This is the way

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Add Ice Cubes?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Wine and cheese, classics

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Big Carl vibes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Add some maple syrup. But goes better with rosé.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I'm more of a beer gal myself but I could still go for some right about now. I really need to take the edge off.
