			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a stay at home dad it&#8217;s at times very boring.  I have done so many things in life and I realize I have never been a drunk.  I have at times been close.  It&#8217;s an achievement that has seemed elusive.  There was always more pressing matters like responsibilities of a job or my previous business in New York City.</p>
<p>So how do I start?  Do I just get drunk as frequently as I can?  Do I start drinking for breakfast?  Lately I been into <strong>bloody mary&#8217;s</strong> and boy those are good. Nice and spicy with that nice vegetabe tomato taste.  I really love them.  I am also a fan of Gin and Tonic which I have been steadily drinking for over a decade. It&#8217;s what I consider my fallback drink.  Pretty hard to screw it up at just about any establishment.  My preference is <strong>Bombay Sapphire</strong> gin.</p>
<div id="attachment_24" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 300px"><a href="http://www.vbum.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/bombay-saffire-gin.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-24  " title="bombay-saffire-gin" src="http://www.vbum.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/bombay-saffire-gin.jpg" alt="Doesn't that gin look so tasty?" width="290" height="368" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Doesn&#39;t that gin look tasty?</p></div>
<p>I do drink plenty of beer as well.   I used to be a big fan of imported brews like <strong>Amstel Light</strong>.  However when I moved to Las Vegas somehow it tasted different.  I suspect all the travel the bottles do changes somehow the flavor.  Just a suspicion but I could totally be wrong.  When I arrived the selection was very domestic and there aren&#8217;t too many <strong>microbrewery&#8217;s</strong> like NYC.  So I have lowered the quality and was drinking <strong>Bud Light</strong>. Yes I realize how low-brow that might seem to you.  I tend to agree.  Oddly now that Budweiser has been sold to a European company does that make Budweiser an imported beer?  I do like the new <strong>Bud Light </strong><strong>Lime</strong>.  It&#8217;s not bad at all.  But currently my favorite suds of choice is <strong>Coors Light</strong>.  I blame a local pub for having the coldest damn beer on tap I have ever had.  Makes the beer just so much better. It&#8217;s actually frozen a bit on the top when you get it.  It&#8217;s simply awesome.  So many bars just don&#8217;t have their kegs cold enough and well, I am not from England so warm beer tastes like piss to me.</p>
<p>So back to my original thought.  How do I become an alcoholic?  You have to be thinking &#8220;why would you want that?&#8221; and well it&#8217;s just a simple answer.  I am bored and I like to experience new things.</p>
