Margarita’s for lunch. Cabernet for dinner. The scent of a new lover for dessert.

chyna's avatar

Strawberry margaita’s. Just two though.

Harvey Wallbangers with a touch of Grenadine…delicious….

trumi's avatar

Red Bull.

Because my friends are all sleepy senior citizens at heart. (no offense Gail)

nebule's avatar

…oh and red wine, and lager, and Jack Daniels and coke and a raspberry fizz and some other cocktail that i can’t remember the name of… and I’m wondering why I feel rather…dodgy!

Two inches of Apricot brandy in a juice glass. Then went to bed at 9:30.

I started the evening with some lovely Penfold Cab with dinner, then moved on to oodles of Krug Brut Grande Cuvée, and finished off with a couple of mugs of coffee. I justify the oodles of champagne, because I continued to say “Happy Birthday Gail” with the pop of every cork!

New years Eve is Amateurs Night. What kills me about New Years Day is it is the goddamn middle of Winter. What is new about that? It’s just as cold on New Years Day as it is on New Years Eve. Hardly anything worth celebrating. We should go back to the Pagan New Year, April First. Now there’s a day worth celebrating.

Oh, as for what I drank, I had a Moutain Dew with my steak dinner.

A couple glasses of a Spanish red, then water the rest of the night. I made it all the way to 11:15.

12 Half liter cans of Tuborg beer.

autumn43's avatar

Water. Water and more water. I couldn’t stay up until midnight and figured “why waste the calories?”

Cardinal's avatar

Cup of hot green tea, went to bed with 2 humongus labs at 9:30. They are scared of the illegal fireworks that are sold on the many near-by reservations.

jazzjeppe's avatar

Since I was alone I had a couple of beers and a glass of wine.

laureth's avatar

Hot tea. Our heat is out.

2late2be's avatar

Water and sweet tea!

MissAnthrope's avatar

Prosecco, red wine, and water. :)

susanc's avatar

A martini, a few sips (to be polite) of another martini, a half-glass
(to be polite) of a rose some guy insisted we would all love, half a glass of red with dinner,
and a glass of champagne in a small flute. Too many different things. But I feel fine.

@Gail: I did it all for you. Happy Birthday o beautiful one!!!

seVen's avatar

Martini Asti spumante

Knotmyday's avatar

Since nobody else (read: SO) drinks champagne in my house I had…Arbor Mist Strawberry White Zinfandel. In a plastic cup.

chyna's avatar

@seven That’s my favorite, but I didn’t think to get it this year.

St.George's avatar

Coffee, coffee, coffee, coke zero, water, water. In that order. I was asleep by 11:30 and feel grand today.

nebule's avatar

oh i so admire all you sensible people that drank water, tea (particularly the green tea! ) diet cherry cola….well done you ! Maybe next year I’ll be a little more controlled…maybe….;-)

Vinifera7's avatar

Nothing. I couldn’t stay up! But at least I got plenty of sleep for my 7:00am work shift U.U

syz's avatar

I had half of a Woodchuck hard cider as I watched a movie, got engrossed, and completely missed midnight.

TitsMcGhee's avatar

Started with vodka-sprite, followed by vodka-orange soda, shots of Baileys, champagne, smirnoff ice (aka bitch beer), Johnny Walker Red and coke. There may have been some herbal refreshments too, but they definitely weren’t tea…

bythebay's avatar

@wildflower: That sounds good and looks like fun, too!

wildflower's avatar

<-likes playing with fire and drinking rum :D

Knotmyday's avatar

@wild- Thanks for Gemütlichkeit; sounds like another definition for Fluther.

loser's avatar

I don’t remember. I just know that I wanna be Sueanne Tremendous!

jessturtle23's avatar

Lots of beer and I feel like shit.

adri027's avatar

The real question is what did you smoke?

wundayatta's avatar

Two glasses of port, but that was at dinner. Nothing but water after that. I sure do live the high life, don’t I?

figbash's avatar

Bourbon, champagne in a can, and at some point in the wee hours of the morning, I decided it would be smart to take a xanax (?). Needless to say, mistakes were made . . .

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@johnpowell: I’m so, SO sorry…

augustlan's avatar

Sparkling apple cider with my kids at midnight :)

Noon's avatar

Ditto on the Apple Cider. Cuz I don’t think drinking and getting stupid is a respectful way to celebrate anything.

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@Noon: Respectful? Not really. Fun? Fuck yeah.

El_Cadejo's avatar

water, water and more water…...
(it was really hot in that rave)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@uberbatman: you changed your avatar… I got really confused for a second… and I loooove raving! All I ever want to drink at raves is water, even though I usually don’t like water at all.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@tits have you seen molly around? ive been looking for her…. :P

TitsMcGhee's avatar

… now i’m really REALLY confused…

El_Cadejo's avatar

ahhh nevermind tits ;)

adri027's avatar

@überbatman: which rave did you go to?

scubydoo's avatar

nothing, :-( I got stuck working

El_Cadejo's avatar

@adri027 it was at Gods Basement in Philly.

cyndyh's avatar

Mac and Jack’s African Amber most of the evening and night and close to midnight a shot of tequila.

mzgator's avatar

chardonay before dinner and dancing, then too much champagne from the never ending champagne fountain… Everyone kept filling my glass up for me. I had fun!

jca's avatar

Sueanne: i think in the SNL tradition, that word should be pronounced “Lovah.”

dalepetrie's avatar

I had a glass of Balatore Gran Spumante. Usually I opt for a Frexinet Cava, but my wife wanted something sweeter this year.

dynamicduo's avatar

A mojito made by myself. Yum.

inoffensive's avatar

can’t really remember. good after-taste though.

babygalll's avatar

I don’t remember.
