Drink Recommendations...

[Anathema]

Many of you know that I’m pretty much a total non-drinker (alcohol). Recently my therapist and MD both suggested that I might benefit from a drink or two a couple times a week to reduce my stress levels. I’ve also got a quartet of weddings coming up this fall where drinking will not be optional.

So, I’m hoping the USMB community can help me find some things to fill these two needs:

Quick, easy evening/weekend drinks that will take the edge off without giving me much of a buzz.

Social drinks that I can nurse over a longer period of time without looking stupid or can have several of without getting much of a buzz.

I tend to prefer things that are sweet over sour, bitter or tangy flavorings. Any recommend at for either setting.

Make some B-52's or test tube babies, sex on the beach there are several.

This is an easy drink to prepare, and is just a little tangy, but sweet.

That does look like an option for the weddings. Not a bartender myself so I’d have to see if I can find a mix for it at home.

My grandfather is a fan of rose wines

I’m not a big wine fan. Too sour/bitter most of the time. Thanks for the recommendation

Family members of my wife. I’m not getting an option. Thankfully they’re all having the reception AT the hotel we’ll be staying at.

Grapeshot, concord grape juice mixed with vodka.

Those two are options. Rum and coke have been kind of my go to over the years.

Your wife shouldn't ask you to attend something like that, or if she did she should explain you aren't a drinker not her relatives.

Stick with wines as you can know what you are getting. The fruity cocktails are totally unpredictable if you haven't developed a taste for booze. You can get totally bombed before you realize it as with some of them, you don't realize they have much booze. If your are a neophyte and you go with the fruity, tangy drinks, don't eat the fruit unless you like colorful interesting vomit.

Wine and they are so many different types. Just don't use a brown paper bag. Then again you may be the life of the party without taking a sip.

I did it many years ago in my youth and I paid the price for it. It’s part of why I rarely drink now.

Try Captain Morgan Rum with the coke, a bit sweeter.

She doesn’t really want to go either. My in laws are dragging us along with them. We didn’t even expect to get invited. As for the alcohol, I’ve been told it’s a machismo and family honor thing. That’s why I’m looking for things I can drag out over an hour or two.
