Merlot
Or any liquor really. There was a period, my hermit years, when I would drink a bottle of wine a day. Most days after work I would stop at the store pick up a bottle of wine and a lean cuisine or a frozen pizza and make a night of it. Looking from the outside in, it seems pretty sad, however it was what I needed. My mother had just died, I hated my job, I had a long string of failed attempts at dating, but I had cable TV, internet porn and enough money to hunker down and just make the time go by a little quicker with the help of booze.
When I moved back to NY I forgot that you have to go to an actual liquor store for wine. It was so simple in Chicago, any corner store had booze. There is a liquor store by me here but its kind of depressing, its all bullet proof glass, selling lottery tickets and pints of booze. I tried the wine and lean cuisine thing here but then it seemed VERY sad.
Fast forward 10 months and for what ever reason (it could be that on my follow up visit to my doctor, he pointed out that I should be depressed "being 40 and single, not allot of friends in New York,at a certain age its hard to meet new friends and harder to date.. I don't know how you do it, thank God I have a partner" or that yet again another failed attempt at a date, the letter from the IRS about missing 2003 returns I did them but god knows where they are the list goes on) I needed that "bottle of wine night".
I head out to the fancy wine store in prospect heights, because I'm fragile, and the ghetto liquor store might push me over the edge.
I buy my bottle of Shriaz head home. Good times!
I remember why I used to do this in the first place. Its not about taking the edge off (getting drunk) its all in the process. Its something to focus on , instead of worrying about whatever, its all about the wine. How much can I drink with out feeling like crap in the morning, is $12 bottle any better or worse than the $8 one, how many more glasses are there in this bottle anyway? I get a little burst of energy too. I mopped the kitchen, bought some music on Itunes, re lived the old ritual of talking to Matt drinking wine in Chicago while I was drinking wine here in Brooklyn, like I sad good times! Looking at internet porn, seems so much more dignified when you are drinking a mellow red wine.
P.S.Do these glasses look
A. Good?
B. like big fag glasses?
I'm torn...

The glasses look good.
And you need to tell that clumsy doctor where to stick it.
The glasses are hot. I'm pathetic. Oh well, I'll be 40 soon, too and I guess I have all the same reasons to be depressed.
are they rose colored??
thanks Justin and Matt I was having a bit of buyer remorse
