    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Yep. I just hope I don’t run out of CO2 anytime soon.

      Only non-witches get due process.

          I've been going to Target and Best Buy to refill my bottles. Costs about $17.00 for a refill.

          I found a company called SodaSense that refills them via a Netflix DVD model - they send you two bottles, and when you need more, they send another couple, you mail back the empties. Costs about $20 a bottle.

          I'm getting my first shipment today.

              It's only a couple of bucks more, but when I go to Target and Best Buy it's a 50/50 shot as to whether they're in stock. This is easier and more reliable.

              Hope it works.

                  Ax, it seems our fellow forum members are not understanding the concept. We're going to have to figure out what we can do to educate them.

                  I suppose it's best to lead by example in this case, with some elementary pictures and very simple descriptions of corkbook-related products. A tutorial may be needed as well.

                  Gin and tonic
                  Cocktail
                  Description
                  A gin and tonic is a highball cocktail made with gin and tonic water poured over a large amount of ice. The ratio of gin to tonic varies according to taste, strength of the gin, other drink mixers being added, etc., with most recipes calling for between a 1:1 to 1:3 ratio.
                  Main alcohol: Gin
                  Ingredients: 1 part to 3 parts gin (to taste), 3 parts tonic water
                  Preparation: In a glass filled with ice cubes, add gin and tonic.
                  Served: On the rocks; poured over ice
                  Standard garnish: A slice or wedge of lime
                  Drinkware: Rocks glass, Highball glass
                  A corkware beverage that brenda enjoys.

                    My quarantine drinking routine has solidified.

                    Friday: 2ish drinks. e.g., a bottle of wine split with the wife (usually a pinot, merlot or cab), o r a couple of beers
                    Saturday: one super nice drink. Last few weeks its been lagavulin.

                    Other than that I'm exclusively water, coffee and sparkling water.

                    Does anyone else get excited by the thought of coffee in the morning just before going to sleep?

                      @xenon Not when I go to sleep, that's weird, man. 😛

                      But in the morning, hell yes.

                      Please love yourself.

                        I´ve been hooked on margaritas lately. With freshly squeezed lemon or lime and mandarin juice. So, it´s pretty healthy!

                                        Gin and tonic is one of my favourite things in the world, to the point where I don't buy gin.

                                        Tomorrow, I'm buying gin.

                                        I was only joking
