How i Was Spent My Summer Vacation: Days 14 & 15

Day 14

Day 14

The only exceptional day today was that i spread out my 6 glasses between noon and 10pm. Almost like a real, normal person.

Drink Log

  • 4 Bud Lights
  • 2 glasses of ‘Red’ wine

Day 15

Day 15

i fished this morning with Ol’ Grand-dad (blog slang for my dad). Yes, fished. i’m allergic to exercise, it makes me breathe hard, sweat and my heart beat faster. If i were drinking something and i had that reaction, you’d tell me to stop immediately, right? So it is with exercise, or ‘exer’ as it should be called because it’s a four letter word. The only sports i like are the ones you can drink during: bowling, darts, pétanque (don’t ask), croquet, and fishing.

So anyway, there i was fishing with my Ol’ Grand-dad and he asked me where i was with alcohol. My drinking isn’t a secret from anybody, so it was kinda normal he’d ask. i told him that i was keeping it under control, that i was worried about it but the fact i was worried meant i was on top of it. He said he was happy about  that. He reminded me that Sea Gram’s (more blog slang, this time for my mom–you know, Ol’ Grand-dad and Sea Gram) father was a heavy drinker and that his own father was ‘a skid row bum’. He can never really say that without getting choked up.

After this, we went to the only store within 15 minutes of Camp David (Hasselhoff) and he bought me a six pack of Blue Labes (Labatts Blue). (It cost $13–hell, when you’re the only store in the middle of nowhere you get to name your price.)

After four of those i invented, with Sea Gram’s help, a Pour Man’s Amaretto Sour.

Pour Man's Amaretto Sour

Ingredients

  • 2 shots Amaretto
  • 2 parts grapefruit juice (pink is best)
  • 1 part orange juice
  • Ice
  • 1 part 7-up (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Maraschino cherry juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drop 3-4 ice cubes in the bottom of a scotch glass
  2. Add the double shot of Amaretto
  3. Then both the juices
  4. If you’re gonna splurge, now would be a good time to add the 7-up
  5. If you’re really splurging, throw in a spoonful of cherry juice
  6. Drink up

Notes

i found this recipe thanks to my mom, who was unable to find sweet & sour mix in the middle of a forest. It doesn’t taste anything like a real Amaretto Sour but it doesn’t taste bad either.
