What kind of buzz do you get???  

Ever get different buzzes?
Man, I have gone to so many parties recently:

weddings, memorial day parties, work parties, birthdays, etc.

I have become quite the drinker (although I have slowed down considerably, thank goodness, over the last few years) but I know I get different effects from different alcohols. It really is a drug, but it's legal and I love it, so be it!!

What kind of effects do you tend to get?

Mostly with wine, even strong sangria laced with many different liquors, I tend to get a more mellow and forgetful buzz/drunk.
With beer, I rarely drink it, and I am not a huge fan--- I usually get very bloated and cranky.
With vodka the night feels fun but it can hit me in an instant.

I have a much longer and more intensive list, but I don't want to bore anyone! Anyway, tonight I am enjoying my sangria... How about you??

My Own Sangria Recipe:

bottle red wine (almost any will do)
bottle white merlot
one lime squeezed
half an orange squeezed, the rest cut up and included to simmer/marinate a few days
1-2 TBSP lemon juice
1 cup coconut rum or other light rum (fruity rums such as passion fruit, mango, etc)
2 cups any flavored vodkas (my favorites are grape, raspberry, orange, etc... fruity are better)
1-2 cups triple sec/orangeat syrup
1-2 apples, cubed
whatever else you fancy
... whiskeys will make it stronger and a bit sweeter upon fermentation (3-8 days typically)

For the best flavor and buzz, I think letting the sangria sit with fruit for almost a week will make it smooth, mellow, and excellent in every way!
