[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you think people with a wine fridge in their home are alcoholics? [/quote]

Ha, we have a huge stocked bar, two beverage fridges (for wine and beer), and a big wine rack. We rarely drink but we host a lot. People also bring wine/liquor as gifts to parties and I have had many clients over the years that own liquor companies, so I suppose someone coming into our house might think we drink a lot but we don't. [/quote]

Same, enjoy drinking socially and love great cocktails… but honestly, most nights I look at the well stocked bar and think “ffs it’s a lot of work to make something nice” and I just have a lacroix and feel quite happy.

I love a good old fashioned and love love one that someone has taken the time to put the dash of bitters and muddled an orange peel, etc and don’t mind doing all that if we’ve got friends over, but to do that by myself… seems like a lot of work. It’s heartbreaking because I just found a really great book of cocktails - good, clearly explained drinks that have pretty minimal instructions and are arranged in a “if you like this, try this interesting thing…” format — which id love to use more but most nights I’m like “ugh, the simple syrup is on the top shelf and this lacroix is right here” and that’s kind of how I feel about drinking outside of a bar or party situation as an adult.

If someone ever made bottled fancy cocktails that you could just pour and enjoy I’d be an alcoholic… wine is nice but I long ago made a decision that I have enough things to stuff in my head and nerding out on wine is just something I don’t have the bandwidth for - and if I’m just buying and drinking a glass of wine based on the card on the shelf with the score that I don’t really understand, it feels like drinking for the sake of drinking.

Beer is cool, but as I’ve aged, the stuff that has interesting flavors also has a decent shot of making me feel bloated, giving me heartburn, etc and I’m not just going to drink miller lites - a lot of empty calories for not interesting flavor.[/quote]

PP to whom you responded. I also always think it's not worth the effort to make a drink and Old Fashioneds are also my drink of choice![/quote]

Yeah, when drinking seems like too much trouble, you’ve either won or lost. I dunno. [/quote]
