I wouldn't say I'm /into/ them, and I haven't been drinking herb teas as much as I used to, but I like the natural earthiness of herbs, both as a scent, and to consume like a tea.

I could talk about this all day, but would hate to derail the thread. I am about to send ya a message if that is alright. :)

Went for some Chamomile+cinnamon+ apple flavored Herbal Tea. Pretty amazing with a touch of honey added in. Best part is my room smells like it for hours, almost a festive smell.
I will have one of those!!
Also I have a lady friend who goes to Japan to visit her parents once a year and she always bring me back a small wooden box with green tea in it!! The freshness is amazing!

Nice, very lucky. Maybe one day i will see if i could get something like that sent this way. I love some green tea, but i switched to black. I have a cup before i do a one mile walk every morning, has helped dramatically in the lost of weight. Tons of energy too. Like any other medicine, given that is what herbs mostly are ymmv. I am overly sensitive to everything, so if its got a good or bad side effect i will most likely experience this. Its why i had to switch over to herbal remedies, i have had some insane drug reactions. Some have almost killed me.

I use be a 4 cup of coffee a day person when I was younger and working! I never lived on coffee but it seemed to help!
As I have gotten older my body does not like coffee and it seems as if a nice cup of Black or Green or some other tea makes all the difference in the world when I first awake and get dressed and head to the kitchen!

I have 2 cups a day, one about 7am before my walk and once about 1pm. I had a cup like a idiot after 3pm the day before and cause i crash at 8pm, it took forever to fall asleep even with strong indica kicking in as usual, then i woke up right about 11:30pm. Usually more of a 1:30am up raise and shine person.

Coffee makes me shit, beer does and anything with tons of sugar. Fruit wine doesn't oddly. I could have 2 entire bottles for symbel, not feel or deal with jack shit. This is my favorite wine. Hopefully the image is clear enough here. Its Kosher Jewish Orthodox, not sure why but this stuff is like Kool Aide to me, its amazing. There is another brand just like this that is even sweeter and as good. Gotta give it to the choosen people, your wine is amazing!

What is weird i was forced as a child to go to catholic church, and i am about 95% sure this may have been the same wine or very close to it that they serve during their body of christ, here is his blood ritual at this one church. I remember LOVING the taste of it though lol. Whats next, will i have come to that church and seen blood around the frame of the damn doorway too? I was like 11 and was given this wine.

Boggles the mind, but yeah like i said good wine for sure. Gonna have some tomorrow in fact :p

I really need to figure out why drinking whiskey or even tequila makes my heart race and gives me a headache but like red wine doesn’t.

Do keep in mind its cheap wine, but idk for the price its great. Anymore and i rather buy something a bit more fun, like a edible known as a hubby bar. Has 130mg of thc. I also like to call it the bunker buster cause well i am gonna feel it for about 3 days. For $10 out the door, that thing is the best dang thing you could spend $10 on i think for a party item i think. More bang for buck then the drinking :p Sometimes i just like to mix the two as i always have some edibles near by or a vape pen, so i go cheap on some wine and i am good to go. I don't go crazy, its just good fun.

Anyone else here? Had some wine and some captains+caramel vodka+vernors (slightly sweeter cream soda taste compared to just captains+vernors)
I didn't know that people willingly made themselves a Matt Dillon.

Picked up some Evan Williams Straight Bourbon. Tried it on the rocks, and didn't care for the taste. Went down good with some diet Coke though.

That's my current favorite sipper on ice. EW BIB - love the butterscotch notes and doesnt get watered down with 1-2 cubes in it as its 100 proof.

Been rotating various cocktails as of late -- our current favorite is grog:

2oz lime juice
2oz pineapple juice
2oz passion fruit syrup
2oz dark rum
2oz light rum

That's obviously a double...however these times necessitate it.

A passion fruit hurricane the size of my head? I like the cut of your jib.

Martini. The Botanist, enough Dolin dry to wash the ice. Stir and served up with a garlic olive.
