SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 ...he turned 21 on January 1 and was in Richmond until last night....it was surreal seeing him order drinks....and drink them....I'm old..... Must have been a moment. I turned 21 last year. Never used a fake ID so ordering a drink for the first time was pretty cool. Magic Hat #9 at the local pizza restaurant.
The Poojer Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 he never drank before that, or at least i believe he didn't...i offered....it was pretty cool to sit there with him....

truth on hold Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Cool. Were you a good wingman helping him score ?
BuffaloBill Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Cool. Were you a good wingman helping him score ? I'm sure that's not what Poojer was wanting to hear ... he was struggling enough with his son having a brewski ...
The Poojer Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 yeah really...screw him...i have my own issues trying to score.... I'm sure that's not what Poojer was wanting to hear ... he was struggling enough with his son having a brewski ...
erynthered Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 yeah really...screw him...i have my own issues trying to score.... Did you make him cry, than laugh at him?
The Poojer Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 funny you should ask...Mr. Big Shot asked for a shot of cake vodka, the bartender asked if he wanted it chilled, Cameron declined, the bartender asked if he was sure and he stuck by his guns...i laughed as he shot it and it was much stronger than he expected....shortly after we ordered another beer and he chose the dogfish head fort which chimes in at a whopping 18% ABV...I actually advised him against it but asked the bartender if we could have a sample of it...he drank the sample and even that little amount brought tears to his eyes and laughter to me..... Did you make him cry, than laugh at him?

You cruel man! Very cool for you POOJ! My oldest turns 24 in a couple months...
BuffaloBill Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 yeah really...screw him...i have my own issues trying to score.... now that is funny

Wow, I've never even heard of an 18% beer. Strongest I've ever had was a 13.2% coffee stout. Anyway, that's a funny story. Any man who tells you he didn't nearly choke on his first shot of liquor is a liar. EDIT: You can tell your son he tried the 43rd strongest beer in the world http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/TopAlcohol.asp Edited January 6, 2012 by SageAgainstTheMachine
mead107 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I like sitting dow with my son and drinking one of the beers he brewed. He has gotten very good at it . He has gotten my son in law into it now.
Jerry Christ Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 My boy is 17mths........so I got a long way to go.....and plenty of other issues I'm sure lol
The Poojer Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 enjoy EVERY moment...he'll turn 21 and you won't believe the time went by so fast...I think I heeded that advice pretty well...still pretty surreal! My boy is 17mths........so I got a long way to go.....and plenty of other issues I'm sure lol
apuszczalowski Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 My boy is 17mths........so I got a long way to go.....and plenty of other issues I'm sure lol Depends on how "good" of a parent you want to be.............

Call me a softy, but your post inspired me to take my son out for a drink. He made it about halfway through his first Manhattan before throwing in the towel. He went home and passed out face down in his coloring books. I know he's only 5 but still, what a lightweight.

Keep at it, by time he hits 21 he'll be able to go through a case during a Bills game.
Chef Jim Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 18 was legal when I was in WNY. My dad owned a restaurant and when we had a busy night he'd "buy" me a beer even when I was 16. That was the coolest thing. I also remeber him taking me to the local bar one day after we closed the restaurant. I was probably 18. When we walked in one of the local businessmen said "hey it's the _______ brothers". That was a looooong time ago but a couple of things I'll never forget.
