Eldritch Muses on Self Medication with Alcohol

It’s a freaking miracle! I’m finally posting on our site. Sorry for the delay. I promise I’ll try to do this more often. There…apologies accepted? Good.

I know people say drinking alone is bad. Hell, we’ve said it ourselves, but I think it’s a bit too much of a generalization. There are exceptions to every “rule” as it were. I have had some singularly stressful days at work that have had me ranting and raging about people and their stupid shit…(sigh) It’s too easy to get worked up sometimes. Needless to say, days like those are bad for my mental health and general well being which is why coming home to a couple shots of strong liquor goes a long way to improving my mood. Something that gives a quick, high quality buzz while also being delicious is just the medicine I need sometimes. This is not necessarily true of everyone. Plenty of people should absolutely NOT drink while angry. Others, like myself, should not drink while upset – THAT is the wrong type of drinking alone because it just exacerbates the situation.

I guess what I’m trying to say is know what kind of drinker you are before you get started. If you know it’ll send you down a bad path, don’t do it. Find another outlet. Remember, we like to keep drinking fun and/or relaxing. However, if it’s going to make your situation better, go nuts!

…responsibly I mean. Otherwise you earn derp stars.

Changing Stuffs

Just a quick note here. It’s obviously been a bit since we’ve posted anything. Gotta get ourselves some daily reminders going.

Also, our podcast is still up on Youtube. We’ll be changing up the format a bit. If we can get ourselves to do it, then there will be shorter episodes. The current ones are roughly 30 minutes long. So yeah… People don’t know us well enough to want to sit through 30 minutes of us rambling.

Personally, I’m going to challenge myself to post more on here. Whether it’s blurbs about new alcohol products, recipes I’ve found, gaming stuff, or whatever. It just needs something.

Gaming stuffs – Black Desert

As you know (or should know), we are gamers. Personally, I have been playing a lot of Black Desert lately.

I mean, come on.

Look at it.

You’ll probably get to see more screenshots as I go along. My highest character is only low 30s so far, and the game is very alt friendly. I love creating characters, so of course I have all my character slots filled.

I’m sure you can look forward to more pretty screenshots, but in the meantime you may catch me and game on stream via TechnDaggers on Twitch.

Ya never know… I might get Eldritch to join me for a drinking stream every now and then.

 

Episode 3 – The Grape One

Episode Three is up! We experimented with UV Grape and Grape Pucker. Why? Because we like grape and we wanted to see if it would be as good of a combo as the cherry.

We tried them together, and with some mixers. Check it out!

(Listen closely for the moment the booze kicks in.)

By the way, we still don’t have a name for the Grape version of Hi Ho Cherry. If you have any ideas, let us know on Twitter @drunkenalchemy!
