Quote of the Day

Friday, September 5th, 2008

On the topic of the booziest TV shows I’m nominating Black Books. Dylan Moran is genius in this boozing and smoking extravaganza, possibly the finest quote from the show:

Bernard: Well, to be honest, after years of smoking and drinking, you do sometimes look at yourself and think…
Fran: [Nodding, smiling] Yep…
Bernard: You know, just sometimes, in between the first cigarette with coffee in the morning to that four hundredth glass of cornershop piss at 3am, you do sometimes look at yourself and think…
Fran: [Still nodding] Yep…
Bernard: … this is fantastic. I’m in heaven.

DrinkPlanner’s guide to getting hammered

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

While we here at My Aching Head are generally more interested in the finer points of boozing it up - good food and booze I do have a sweet spot for less subtle tactics. Some of those tactics here are perfectly summed up by the DrinkPlanner in his guide to getting hammered, in fact I’d go so far as saying some of it is pure genius. The idea that a drinking game is there to supplement your steady drinking are truly the words of someone who has done the hard yards. In any case, you could go worse than following these directions to getting well and truly boozed.

Roundup of Tequila

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

The other day, I saw a great roundup about tequila. Recently (over the last 6-12 months) I have been getting into a bit of better tequila. Mainly stuff from the Cuervo range, 1800 is particularly good for the price and the “Reserva De L’Familia” is expensive ($25 a hit in a bar) but very tasty.

My thinking about good tequila goes, that if you can shoot it without lemon and salt, it’s actually worth drinking.

Something that wasn’t mentioned in the article were tequila liqueurs “Patron” and “Agavero” are 2 that I have tried and really enjoyed. Patron is a coffee flavoured liqueur while Agavero is a tequila blend. Both are very nice chilled to sip.

While checking up about this info I found this great reference site on all things tequila, tequilas.info
