What are you drinking?

well we do need to watch what we drink to wash down our meds

my Gabapentin for post shingles nerve pain makes alcohol go further

Good to hear.

Will it work as well as the opioids?
Is it covered by my wife's medical plan? Right now I pay $5 for 100 Tramadol.

I guess we should do this in a different thread.

Acetaminophen and alcohol need to be watched carefully

I'm alternating doses acetaminophen and ibuprofen - and getting quarterly blood enzyme tests for liver damage

I've been sweetening unsweetend soymilk with Acai or Naked Mighty Mango
 
I normally treat premium vodka as an oxymoron, but it was on sale:

I work part time as a private maths tutor.
Last week was last week for exams.
I went to pick up my books and old exam papers from a student.
He gave me a bottle of wine as thanks for my help.
It was a Pino Noir which went down very well.
I don't normally drink but had a couple of large glasses.
Half an hour later couldn't feel my legs !
Will have to stick to my half pint shandy in the future.

Definitely wise to avoid alcohol with acetaminophen. If you have to take a lot, you could try N-Acetyl-Cysteine supplementation, it's used for overdose and has a pretty good safety profile.

Never had to take Gabapentin, but if it's not working for you or you don't like the side effects, you could try low dose Amitriptyline or Nortryptyline. They are tricyclic antidepressants, but have a significant impact on nerve pain for a lot of people. The doses you would use for nerve pain are well below what most would consider the psychoactive threshold.

Currently drinking Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban - now 14 year old, they upped the age statement by 2 recently!

I'm a whisk(e)y drinker normally, and find that Pinot Noir is really drinkable in comparison. Have to watch out because it's not as tannic or bold as a Cabernet Sauvignon but still has decent ABV for a wine.

The Sobie is quite nice indeed, but my biggest surprise on last trip to Maui was the Kirkland’s at the Kahului Costco. There are more than a few local craft distilleries on the island doing some very nice vodkas and gins, including Sheringham and Victoria Distillers - next time you’re in the neighbourhood, take the tasting tours. Victoria’s Left Coast distilled from Hemp seed hearts is a particularly smooth sipper.

Because it is. If you look up what qualifies as Vodka, you'd be unwise with your money to pay extra.

I hope this wasn't in reference to Tramadol. Tramacet is the one with Acetaminophen.

Besides, I never drink before I get up and always quit before bed.
 
Around this area, money laundering is huge. People buy cars with cash from drug money or other illicit activities. One of the biggest cleaning stations is a casino. I was wondering if they had a little left over after a night of gambling.

Oh, coffee and homemade lemon soda for me this morn.
People not always need to have a casino for real money, they can launder money from any legal activities also. You wrote about alcohol, do you think bar owners don't launder money? I mean, for money laundering, it is not so important to be privy to drugs or casinos.
 
firsly, I think you missed Cal's point; the amount of "dirty" money (foreign and domestic) being laundered by sales of exotic cars, mega-mansions - many of which sit vacant, or are rented via VRBO, etc - and through casinos has become quite a hot-button issue in the lower mainland area, if not elsewhere.
