What should I drink for my first drink in a Year?

I have been on a medium-moderate dose of Suboxone for about a year now. And I have voluntarily ceased drinking alcohol during my treatment with the drug since they don't safely mix.

However, I have been going off of Suboxone for various reasons which you can read about in the Opioids Forum here. I now take 1/3 of what I used to take. Within another week, I will be low enough that it will be safe again for me to partake in a drink (not getting drunk, just one or two drinks mind you).

I don't like getting drunk, but I like having a drink with friendly people, so I am happy that I will be able to do that again in my life. But my question is: What drink should I get for my first drink?

I used to really like Craft/Micro Beers like Victory, Troegs, Dogfish (all local to where I live), but I also really liked Bourbon and Irish Whiskey, my favorite being Jameson 12-Year. So what should I go for?

I am thinking the beer is the best idea since my taste buds haven't touched alcohol in a year. I might find whiskey over-powering taste-wise. What do you think?

 

crack open an ice cold bud light its very refreshing and defining

 

It has to be a good whiskey, a big ass shot of whiskey

 

Bring forth the Kraken!

After a heavy and epic battle with this sea beast, you'll not be needing to drink again for another year. Just don't wake up that day after consumption for that's when the Kraken strikes out at its fiercest.

^^^ Isn't she beautiful.

 

fuck that!

go for the tasty microbrew.

 

OR.. or you could drink an ice cold bud light

 

or you could just drink an ice cold water, get pretty much the same taste and refreshment, and not support the worst "beer" corporation on the planet

 

OR. OR you could not drink water and open your fridge, pull out a cold bud light, crack it open and enjoy

 

you're disgusting man

 

or you could possibly go with the cream of the crop: natural light

 

Hey hey hey....at least he's not reccomending Keystone Light

 

Good idea Roon. That way if he's not quite ready and he throws up the natural light will taste the same going out as it did going in...

 

I'm starting to think a micro-brew will be my choice. Any good ones that are sold nationwide that i could get. I usually go to a bar that focuses on beer, so they have at least 50 choices, so your suggestion may be there...

 

Well, I went out to town, and got three beers, all micro-brews. They were great. But my alcohol tolerance went down to that of a high-schooler, so I had to book out after the third beer so I wouldn't be driving over the legal limit. I am now back at my apartment coming to terms with the very new, novel, and strange drug combination of a hefty dose of Dextroamphetamine and Alcohol. I feel so dis-inhibited yet clear and focused. Strange...

 

glad you seem to be enjoying your first brews in a year.

did you go out with some buddies or what?

i noticed you said "usually go to a bar blah blah blah"
how do you usually...if you haven't drank in a year?


hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?!?!?!?

 

100 ANOS Tequila Blanco

Good shit

Screw beer

 

My buddies were all out of town because of the Labor Day weekend, so unfortunately, I had to go out alone. But I ended up talking to my best friend on the phone for about an hour, which was cool.

In the last year, I have just gone to bars and drank sodas. That is what I meant.

 

I am bumping this thread because of this:

I have not had a drink since I last posted this (over three weeks ago) but I am planning on investing in an alcoholic purchase for home use this week. Help me decide between:

1. 750mL bottle of Jim Beam Bourbon
2. 24-pack of Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA beer bottles
3. 750mL bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin
4. 3-bottles of wine: one Merlot, one Shiraz, one Red Zinfandel

I can't make up my mind as all of them sound appealing. I will mainly be drinking the product in small quantities by myself (since none of the people I work with like to have any fun whatsoever which is annoying as fuck...) while watching baseball or surfing the internet after work.

 

This is what I drink. And obviously alot of it. That's all for me

 

That is a popular beverage here in the University of Delaware. They sell huge (like 24 oz) cans of it at most bars here for cheap.
