I’ve been having to use alcohol as a muscle relaxer since I screwed up my back a few months ago, since I’m allergic to most muscle relaxers. Which means, once I fix my back (touch wood), I may very well go tea-total / have lost all enjoyment of drinking in the interim.
IDFK what I’m going to do about showers. I’ve (almost) always taken 3-5 showers a day, but a shower an hour to avoid the screaming/crying thing actually has me avoiding showers on good pain days. Which is doubly vexing in PTSD-Land; as I can go weeks without bathing in the field, but one of my “tells” for being “home” is I shower when I wake, before bed, and any time in between that I’ve gotten all sweaty & gross. Life is messy. Clean it up. So this stupid injury is messing with my PTSD on two fronts; first, being injured at all; second by messing up my “stateside” vs “field” mental divisions.
But? I digress.
Back on target.
So I was just thinking back to when I actually enjoyed drinking. Instead of taking it like medicine and snarling about it.
Happy Thoughts?

Whiskey
Good Bourbon (Blanton’s!)
Decent Scotch (The MacCallan, GlenLivet, Speyside in general 12+ years)
Whatever Irish (Jameson, etc.)
Tequila, limes, & salt. Not especially picky here. Just lovin’ the ‘Sex Now’ aspect of Tequila shots.
Hot Buttered Rum in the cold
Bee’s Knees (Gin, lemon, honey) in the heat.
Mint Gimlet (oh, muddling, sick a bartender at me)
Vanilla Lavender Martini
Dirty Martini
