Red or White?

 Space Force, I'm being lazy today,  SPACE FORCE!!! The United Space Force of America, Spaaaaaace Fooooorce! Wow, you just can't make this crap up! You know I was thinking that the one thing humanity really needs, is a weapons program dedicated to space. How wonderful it would be for the Republican party to be the first government to kill someone in space. Maybe they could put the person who came up with this idea into a rocket, aim for deep space and press the button!

 Red or white? I need to relax, calm my nerves, I don't really drink but I do like a glass of wine, maybe two. People always ask red or white as they are getting ready to open the bottle of red. "White", I answer and the room falls silent, you would think I had just said something along the lines of "I enjoy kicking puppies". I don't like red wine, it's actually physical, as soon as I smell or take a sip of red wine, I have a burning sensation in my throat and down to my chest. I don't understand why, it's not like I became ill from drinking red wine or was poisoned by a bad batch.

 I like white, (oh no Mr Lurker is going to call me racist again). White wine to me feels soothing going down and no after taste. I find that I enjoy one glass, I only have a second if it's going to be a long evening. It really helps me to relax, as you can probably guess, I am tense around a group of people, especially if there are strangers in the group. Some of my friends tease after I had a glass, they will say "oh Steve found his voice". I do enjoy that wave of calm that washes over me halfway through my glass. I am also very aware not to become addicted to that wave.

 Everyone relax and have a drink, we could sure use one these days, raise your glass and let's all toast to the creation of Space Force One; however if you can't find Korea on a map, how are you ever going to invade Mars!

No drink for me, unfortunately. Some of us cannot handle our booze.

Didn't Reagan start a program to weaponize space?

Gin here! Lots of it

Once I'm in after work I always always a gin and tonic. When it comes to wine, which I love, I go both ways!!!! LOL! I enjoy cabernet sauvignon or pinot grigio in the spring and summer and prefer a nice red in the colder months. But either way....the drier the better.

I enjoy both red, white and rosé wines. I also enjoy a gin and tonic every now and then. The thing is, alcohol goes right to my head and I can only have one drink. A cheap drunk I am! After one drink, seriously, just one, I feel it.

Mr Lurker, you can have rootbeer then. Wasn't it Reagan that signed something to agree not to put weapons in space?

John, I don't think I ever tried gin.

Maddie, I have never tried a gin and tonic, I also want to try a martini.

Michael, same here buddy, right to my head, that's why I usually stick to one or none at all if I have to drive soon after.

I'm a gin man too.

If anything, the man who is president of the United States is consistent at embarrassing the country on the international stage.

RJ, I guess I better try gin, I don't ever recall having some. I tried vodka, rye, whiskey and brandy but not gin. Well not that I really drink, I enjoy usually just one glass of something and that's it. Sometimes it can be a year or two before I touch any alcohol.

Obviously I am behind on my drinking.

Dr Spo, nope! None for you mister, you need to watch your health.
