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

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

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

[-] PurplebeanZ@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Wine and cheese party I'd guess

Needs more Kraft singles.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 5 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] Screemu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 6 days ago

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

[-] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 6 days ago

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

[-] Toribor@corndog.social 8 points 5 days ago

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

[-] mossy_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Now there's a brand new sentence

[-] prex@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago

Goon of fortune.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

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

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

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

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Good for your heart, even.

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.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 10 points 6 days ago

It's because dry beverages aren't very tasty

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 5 days ago

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

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

The feeling is mutual!

[-] Toribor@corndog.social 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days 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?

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 7 points 5 days ago

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

[-] bi_tux@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

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

[-] ordellrb@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Add Ice Cubes?

[-] bouldering_barista@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Damn right 1 glass! This is the way

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Wine and cheese, classics

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Big Carl vibes.

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.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

Add some maple syrup. But goes better with rosé.
