That is my secret for cheap drinking: Tom Collins. Everything else on the drink menu is $10, and a Collins is like $4. There are a lot of places where it's cheaper than beer.
Which is weird.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, name brand is the squash court of this conversation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if you don't want sugar in the drink, it's vodka with lime juice, not a freaking vodka gimlet.
You're so cute. But it was the nice lady who called it a gimlet, not me. Maybe it was sweetened. But the sugar was definitely an undertone. Mostly, it was juicy and alcoholic. Mmm. Sour.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jilli - it was so funny. Some asshat on "Millionaire" the other night lost out on $500K because she didn't know what ingredient in absinthe made it illegal.

Hey! I did not make up the name brand. The name brand always existed...I just forgot to mention it up front. Name brand is more like the "starbucks card bought by continental Americans" of this conversation.
Also, I forgot it might make a difference.

I'm sure of it. It's really tasty. And not just in drinks!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

How much do I love that this sentence makes perfect sense?
I like my CC & water - simple, not-expensive, and conducive to nursing the drink so I don't get hammered. The problem lies (as it so often does) in when I get talked into doing shots as well.

Boy, $2.95 a bottle Boone's Farm looks better and better. Or Franzia's wine-in-a-box.

I don't remember where I got them, so I can't tell if they were from a compilation of sorts.
Pretty sure you got them from me: [link]

Nope. Had no idea.
