Water is delicious too, good call. Tomorrow you will thank you!

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Beer in an airport lounge, and no.
Tomorrow it will be beer in a hotel lobby, which is what I'm looking forward to.

[–] Sammy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Get yourself a Breakfast Pint; you’ve earned it!

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Waiting at the first airport right now. There's no beer here though, as it's a tiny local airport with only a vending machine. But in about two hours I'll be landing at a larger regional one. As I'm a very frequent flier this means lounge access and free beer during my three hour wait.

Nothing special. I was headed on a short work trip where a couple of coworkers and I had some minutia to sort out, but I'm back home again now. The trip home was supposed to be quicker, with 30 minutes between the two flights I need between work and home, but the final leg of my flight had to revert back due to weather, so insteaf there were six hours of beer in the airport lounge.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn that stinks when your flight is delayed so long.

I've never had a job where I've traveled for work. Do you like or dislike that aspect of it? It always seemed like it would be kind of fun lol!

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mostly like it: I like seeing new places, and I like visiting distant cities (Kuala Lumpur and Singapore are favorites of mine).

I don't like flying economy, but I endure it on the shorter flights. On the longer ones I usually pay for a seat upgrade, either out of my own pocket, or with the air miles I've accrued. On rare cases the company allows me to book business class on their card, but that's rare and only for special circumstances.

I do like my coworkers, so whenever I'm going somewhere we usually coordinate the hotel stay together (flights are usually separate, as we live pretty much all over), so it's usually the same gang meeting in a hotel lobby in some corner of the world.

Ooh, what kind of tea? Mint is my favorite, but I have a weird mint addiction so I may be biased

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lately Sweet & Spicy, otherwise lemon ginger is nice. :)

I like mint but only rarely do I crave it.

[–] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The tears of my defeated enemies, …with an olive.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Delicious, vengeful, and classy all in one! I like your style

[–] cmat273@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Whiskey and mountain dew lmao

[–] jayrhacker@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

That's what Mountain Dew was created for!

[–] GiantRobotTRex@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

That reminds me of my college days

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 7 points 1 year ago

Sbagliato (1/2 prosecco, 1/4 red vermouth, 1/4 campari)

[–] vrojak@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just finished finished my morning coffee. I wish I was drinking better coffee than this instant stuff, but so far I've been too lazy to look into better options

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Good coffee is definitely worth it though, when you get the energy to upgrade you won't regret it!

I don't know where you're located, but I like ravens brew coffees and use a pour over maker like a chemex, if you want a suggestion you don't have to look up 💜

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I made a cape cod with soju, but if I could materialize anything to drink I would have had gin on the rocks

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Rose wine and heck yeah

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Water. Also, sparlking flavored water. Wish I was drinking soda.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Vodka martini with Dolin dry Vermouth. Lots of crushed ice. Shaken. Poured over green olives stuffed with garlic.

[–] Evrala@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm drinking cheap matcha, I wish I was drinking nice matcha.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Bourbon. Yes

[–] Doublepluskirk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Off-brand lemon and cold medicine drink, hot, because I have a cold. I want to be drinking the same, but with whisky

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Purple drank? Hehe

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

For dinner, either some kombucha I made or some water kefir i made, both carbonated with Welch's grape juice. Pretty good stuff.

After dinner, 16oz of a hazy juicy ipa I brewed last month.

I also made a bunch of wine so the wife and I have been drinking these https://www.acouplecooks.com/kalimotxo-red-wine-coke/

Fucking delicious

  • and yes
[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And all my friends told me I was a degenerate for mixing wine and soda. I guess I'm actually a fancy Euro-style innovator

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You're a person with the finer tastes in life. don't let the riffraff tell you different

[–] asceticism@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I guess? I'd like to drink some coffee or tea but I have to get up in 7 hours so I really can't until then

But water will do for now

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Barr Hill gin and tonic. It's fabulous.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Water. And I like water, so no issue there. I don't regularly drink alcohol on a weekday, and any soda or other garbage is banned entirely from my house

[–] jayrhacker@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Tonight; Scotch, it's not bad but it's not amazing. Want; Scotch, from my club which sends bottles from an individual barrel with a number less than 200… rarest and best of liquors I've personal encountered.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Water, home made pink lemonade

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I was drinking green tea last night, but wanted to be drinking coke zero. Doc told me to cut that shit out.
