Vegan drinks like a vegan does.

I think that's what I did for my 50th but I can't be certain.

I think I had that party for 45 but I can't remember, either.

Sounds like my army reunion.

I must have had fun, the badminton shuttle in my hand and the bat in my hand while i woke up suggested so at least.

You clearly need more fibre in your diet. I suggest you should eat more broccoli.

I must have, would i admit anything else?, i remember it as well as you remember your "I'm so old" party.

Edit: Guys like you are going to save the world: I'm glad i have a friend like you, partisanship works only when you're having sex with a prostitute and the only goal is to get you off.

Mk, you're a great person to have on the globe. A sense of humor is priceless.

I'm aging like fine wine, not spoilt milk as some might be...

Don't worry about milk getting old, I'm always prepared to chuck in a few extra gallons to save the products…

Bombay Sapphire is my favorite a good dry martini. Delish!

[MightyMouseTech]

To actually add something beneficial to this thread (which is a change for me), probably my favorite, and easy to drink is Riesling wine. There is a reason why almost every sommelier I know, that is also their favorite. Sweet, dry, to aged dessert wines, it does it all. So many flavours, it is incredibly complex, and easy to drink.

A good Riesling is second to none, and even the really good ones are affordable.

My wife and I really like Woodfords.

So for my 40th I would like to have a good time with some great drinks for myself the ladies. What are a few things I should add to the shopping list?

"I dont know, what are your tastes?" you say? I would categorize it as unrefined but open minded.

Uhhhm.... There is a very large and extensive thread called:

"What are you sipping on lately"

You may want to start there.

And if you read that thread, you'll see that Plantation 20 is the way to go. Awesome straight up over ice. Really smooth rum. Very drinkable.

Americans generally drunk their red wine too warm and their white wine too cold.

Alcohol is often an acquired taste, usually not something that people appreciate right at the start. I find many alcohols bitter, so need a fair bit of sugar to make it palatable, such as margaritas and mojitos and mules. But I've developed an appreciation for wines and beers too (but nothing oak aged, nor the high IBU beers.)

That said, if you want to try something new for your 40th - which I think is cool, the only time I've ever sky dived was on my 40th - then I suggest you find a high end restaurant and request the sommelier help you out after explaining your situation. A good one will be able to pair a different drink with each course and give you a variety of which some you might like a lot.

If you dont know what to drink at 40 dont waste the drinks !
