Chess drinks :)

Tonight we find very little in the way of exotic drinks, or even normal drinks for that matter. But I must play chess tonight, so I have come up with Vodka and milk, with a dash of sugar. It seems like it will work. The things we have to do to play chess and drink...

definitley cranberry rasberry juice, fischer's favorite

The drink of kings.

That's disappointing, I love cran/raz.

I just bought my first bottle of absinthe at BevMo (a sort of giant liquor store), but I just looked on the Internet and I see that BevMo is just a West Coast thing.

Apparently, absinthe is available in Michigan, however, because I did find this on the Internet:

Wonderful! Thank you, qixel

Being english its has to be tea

red wine

I am also a big fan of the coffee and whiskey mix.  A friend of mine also got me started on something called a Ray Charles Cocktail, which sounds pretty abhorrent -- a shot of gin in a cup of coffee with a little bit of sugar -- but really does the trick on those long nights writing or playing chess.

Interesting drink there, rednblack

Sad news world wide and 25 games moving very slowly. A mild winter evening and the chess.com forums always interesting. This edition of "Chess drinks" brings us to Germany and a bottle of Reisling. Quite nice. Sweet and delicious. A bottle of Reisling is worth 3 or 4 hours of chess and relaxation

pitorro!

What is pitorro, El_Gremio?

ilegally distilled rum we make....i guess it is like what u know as moonshine, maybe.we cure it with all sorts of things(some people use different kinds of fruits, beans, meat , different things give it a different taste...mmmm.

I wouldn't want mine with meat(vegetarian), but I would love to have some! Sounds great

Tonight: classic six-pack beer session after a workout. The only missing detail is it's not friday yet .

it is gooooooood. my mother in law gave me a regular rum bottle, but full of pitorro..the longer it is cured the better it gets...sweet as juice...u will never know what hit u..if not careful

What beer, philidor_position?

"Not careful" is my middle name, El_Gremio

It's local, you haven't heard of it.

Coffee is best during a long game. For blitz I think it's not bad to drink a little alcohol, just not beer that makes you slow.
