Red Wine and German Beer

You know you're bombed when you find the smoke curling from your cigar incredibly interesting. And you know you're a geek when you think about the silliness of this.

We had a nice little grill-out with friends last night, with chicken breasts, pork ribs, and bratwurst. I had salmon patties, too, but those were never brought out. I added lemon juice and honey to a Korean barbecue sauce we had, and added hot sauce and Worcestshire sauce to some barbecue sauce. The brats were simmered in German beer before being tossed on the grill, and then accompanied with sauteed onions and bell pepper. Yummy.

If you're considering having more than a single serving of alcohol, always start with a large glass of water, and try to drink a glass of water for every serving of alcohol you consume. Your body will thank you.

Word.

I found a guy bombed in the front seat of his car the other morning. He was highly, highly intoxicated. He knew the people in the house he was parked in front of, and he had a large jug of water on the seat beside him. I wrote him a citation for public intoxication, and made him drink from his jug of water (I checked to make sure it was water, first) while I wrote. I made him slam about a pint and a half in all, and explained that he would thank me, someday. I walked him up to the house, found a sober person inside, and released him to them. The sun was coming up. If I had left him out in his car to cook (it got to 98 that day), he would have needed to go to the ER. If he lived.
