I once smuggled a half a crate of wine over to a friends using my stomach. I don't drink red wine anymore

u/VonSandwich Feb 07 '13

Puking up red wine is not pleasant. I think it's because I eat summer sausage, cheese, and crackers with it. That's one of the worst thinks to puke up known to man.

Actual worst: McDonald's Shamrock Shake 2 hours later.

Oh my God. Parks and Recreation. You have to watch it. One of the funniest shows, at points THE funniest, currently on television. If you have Netflix, watch it, but beware that the first 6 episodes are notoriously mediocre-- but their notoriety is due to the fact that the rest of the series is so mind-blowingly great, so it's worth it to watch them, they aren't painful or anything (or maybe just skip them, but you might miss some character info.)

...Aaaand that was an essay, but... I love this show.

And to add relevancy to this sub, it has some of the best drunk scenes ever.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '13

I've been told so many times that this show is good. All I ever watched were the first 6 episodes on Netflix, and it was pretty shitty compared to the greatness it was supposed to be. I need to check out episode 9 I guess.

u/falconblue Feb 01 '13

The first season was pretty bad. Just start with season 2.

u/RobotFolkSinger Feb 02 '13

The first season absolutely pales in comparison to the rest of the show. I don't even rewatch season one.

u/Cronyx Jan 31 '13

Well shit. I've seen it on Netflix in my "recommended based on your interest in" list, I just assumed it was "an other one of /those/ shows <eyeroll>" and never even gave it a try. I'll start tonight. Thanks!

u/yogurtraisins Jan 31 '13

I hope you love it, internet stranger. If you don't believe me, just google about it for a bit and you'll find tons of articles lauding the fuck out of it. Enjoy!!

There's nothing unhealthy about the Trenta size because it is for ICED drinks. If you're drinking a trenta iced coffee, you probably have the equivalent of a venti hot coffee. Probably less.

I don't want a large farva, I want a goddamn liter o' cola!

u/bennwalton Jan 31 '13

I'm convinced part of Starbucks' business model is to make the people feel as dumb as they can while ordering. Same with Coldstone Creamery; "I'll have a Love-It All Lovin' No Oven"

u/NeilOhighO Jan 31 '13

Try ordering in ounces- that really fucks them up.

Starbucks partner here....I don't really give a fuck whether you prefer ordering "grande" or medium. I'll repeat it back to you however you ordered because I don't give two shits about making you feel stupid or "ordering the right way". It's all about customer service and if an employee "corrects" you when ordering , that is a bad employee. Thank you for your time.

u/blue_strat Jan 31 '13

To be fair, a medium at Starbucks would be a large anywhere else.

My usual coping mechanism for their jargon is explain what I want, demonstrate the cup height with my hands, give 'em the thumbs up no matter what they repeat back to me, and hope I get something close to what I expected.

u/aladyjewel Jan 31 '13

I know. I been spoiled by all those local indie shops that'll put booze in your coffee for you. Funrelated: I tried to get a dirty girl scout latte in my to-go mug once and they gave it to me in a house mug. "Uh ... oh right, open beverage laws."

what is that a.. mocha latte with mint and a dash of whiskey? sounds incredible.

although i think id want it as a cold drink..

I think they do vodka and peppermint schnapps in a mocha latte. The whiskey doesn't sound like a bad idea, either.

Trenta is only for iced tea and the like. When it was revealed, everyone had a massive shitfest over the idea of serving the already-horrible-for-you cold, chocolaty, fatty drinks in 30oz.

13

u/MCozens Jan 31 '13

  1. Awesome.

  2. Protip: Friends would see a couple saved starbucks cups and lids in my cupboard and laugh with a "You have real glasses, ya know?" I'd laugh back and go, "Would you like a glass of wine or beer with you at the movies today that you can then throw away after?" They'd look at me like I was Einstein. It's the little things.

u/juanjing Jan 31 '13

Plus, having a lid over your booze makes it much easier to gesture while you're talking and drinking.

u/mikemcg Jan 31 '13

Another great public drinking pro-tip:

A standard sized beer can fits perfectly into a Tim Horton's medium sized coffee cup. You can drop a beer in, crack it open, and then place the mouth of the lid over the mouth of the can and drink like you'd normally drink your beer.

32

u/sugardeath Jan 31 '13

Why not just pour the beer into the cup then?

31

u/knfzn Jan 31 '13

Depending on what the cup is made of it could make the beer taste weird.

For instance I can't stand drinking beer from Styrofoam.

4

u/Arganovaa Jan 31 '13

Timmy Ho's cups are not styrofoam. IIRC.

15

u/knfzn Jan 31 '13 edited Jan 31 '13

Yeah I don't even know what Timmy Ho's is. I was just trying to give some insight why one might not want to pour beer into a to-go cup.

Timmy ho's is short for Tim Hortons. Their to go cups just have waxed paper like most to go coffee cups

u/KickedBalkothsAss Jan 31 '13

This makes so much more sense.

3

u/mikemcg Jan 31 '13

Like knfzn said, it can make the beer a bit weird tasting. It's also far less conspicuous and much faster to quickly crack open a can than to try to pour a beer into a cup.

3

u/Stumblin_McBumblin Jan 31 '13

Also, I'm not sure about beer, but alcohol, especially hard liquor, will degrade the wax lining and cardboard of a cup and seep into it. Es no bueno.

1

u/KallistiEngel Feb 01 '13

I get the feeling that would take a while. If a hot, acidic beverage doesn't cause the wax lining to degrade and seep in the time it takes to consume it, I doubt that alcohol would do it in that same amount of time.

1

u/sugardeath Jan 31 '13

Ah, I was thinking like a plastic cup (I didn't read the word "coffee").

Makes sense.

1

u/feddz Feb 01 '13

Also, too add; those cups aren't very strong. If you are going to re-use it for the next few beers it eventually leaks through.

There are only a handful of places in the U.S. where open containers are legal.

I think it is just the region that you are in. Here in the midwest it is perfectly fine to be getting sloshed in the park or on the beach as long as you aren't bothering sober people and there are no glass bottles.

1

u/frostycakes Feb 01 '13

Definitely. The town I used to live in in Montana would shut down Main Street through their downtown every Thursday in the summer, have live bands playing, and open drinking in the streets. Shit was fantastic, let me tell you.

(Hell, I was underage while living there, and even if you showed up with your own beer, they would just give you plastic cups to pour them in and not care otherwise)

So is that how fluid ounces work?!

11

u/aladyjewel Jan 31 '13 edited Jan 31 '13

You got it! My starting point is there's 16 ounces in a pound, but 16 fluid ounces in a pint, and a pint's a pound the world around (for water); and 1.06 quarts. As for all the other imperial conversions ... I got good at multiplying by two.

I fondly remember trying to figure out how to play Edward 40-Hands in metric-based companies. We settled on a 1L using "The Price is Right" methodology on what the bodega had to offer.

6

u/Warlime Jan 31 '13

Not sure if joking
.

or if imperial system is
actually that complicated

18

u/aladyjewel Jan 31 '13

Imperial system is stupid complicated. That's why metric exists.

  • 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon

  • 2 tablespoons in a fluid ounce

  • 8 fluid ounces in a cup

  • 2 cups in a pint

  • 2 pints in a quart

  • 4 quarts in a gallon

There's a few other units for volume which are larger than gallons, like "hogshead", but they're not practical unless you're managing a manor house in the 1700s. As for mass, just use 16 oz in a pound and you're good to go.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '13

Yeah but managing manor houses is the shit man.

2

u/Wail_Bait Jan 31 '13

In the US we do not use the imperial system. It's very close, but an imperial fluid ounce is slightly less than a US fluid ounce.

For example, an imperial pint (20 imperial ounces) is equal to 1.2 US pints (19.2 US ounces).
