Serious SF Question
 

I have a retired Special Forces Master Sergeant at my house right now. Holy shit, how much wine can you guys really drink? :munchin :D

Well that depends.

How much do you have?

TR

Well - I've got five gallons (mead) fermenting in the guest bathroom. Ought to be drinkable in a couple months and then we can find out how long it takes to consume. (I'd rather host a party and drink it than try to bottle that much. :p ) Your problem is "proof" - wine is only 7 - 12 % alcohol. Proper pacing and good kidneys - well, lets just say it could get expensive. Apply simple economics and an effective dosing plan. Go with distilled, undiluted spirits. Sacrifice a good bottle up front, by the time it's finished most guys will accept a "lesser swill" as follow-on without complaint. Spend two or three bottles of whiskey to save a case (or more) of good wine. The wife and I in the course of an afternoon with two discerning guests consumed eight bottles of pretty good local vintage stuff - never felt it (and we're considered lightweights). My .02 - Peregrino :p

In 7th Group, wine is not really considered an alcoholic beverage. It's mostly for women and children.

I will let the Master Sergeant know your point of view. :munchin

I would say that is the reason he is drinking your wine, he does not want to demolish your stock of real booze, rum and tequila. :D

Last I heard, it goes by rank and it's classified.

LOL, I offered the top of the line Pappy van Winkle's, but he elected to drink some wine that happens to be more expensive. :)

I switched him to cheaper stuff after a few bottles. :lifter

LMAO!
 

Stay safe.

Out of a Box I Bet!!!:D :munchin

LMMFAO!
 

Do they still even sell it like that!?!?!?:D

Stay safe.

Can we get an AAR?

Who knows what solutions you guys might come up with for many of todays common and world problems...

Your house guest told me he did not like red wine!

:D

That was the expensive stuff... after that was gone RL went and got the Ripple.......:rolleyes:

LOL, no boxes. But we did go to our "every day drinking wine."
