I generally don't drink when hiking. I'm too much of a snob with booze. 99% of beer I like it's only keg or bottles. 100% of wine I like is in a bottle. I only like liquor that needs ice.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

I like bourbon. A little goes a long way so it's the UL choice.
I'd love to carry a beer or two but how good is it after getting warm and shaken up in your pack?Lost in the right direction. -

I carried bourbon once, because it's easy to find in pints and I hadn't thought to procure a flask. I don't even remember what it was. Wild Turkey I think. Anyway, it was a last minute grab because I had a couple cigars for the trip and booze goes well with a good cigar. If I ever decide to get a flask, I'll be carrying the REAL whisky, Scotch. Lagavulin specifically.

Wild Turkey 101. More weight efficient than the 80 proof.

I thought about this, chilled stream water - run thru a sawyer squeeze - 1 jigger of Rum or Vodka, 2 jiggers of water now add the secret ingredient - 1 ounce from a powdered drink mix - or even better a squirt of Mio or Lipton Peach Tea -
I may have posted this before... but it is very UL- a Mini Scope travel bottle comes with a perfect Jigger cap. hey that's the bartender in me....Sorry Rasty can't come up with ice on the trail.

I have some great moonshine over the years. One was from a recipe five generations old. They should call it lead feet. It was very mellow gong down & resulting buzz. But when I stood up my feeet refused to move while my body stayed in motion. I was able to re-appraise the situation from a ground level point of view. I decided it was a good place & time for a nap!

Uh yea it down stream, MM its important to me that I do not suggest drinking in situations where people drink alcohol and get hypothermia, So winter in the woods is clearly not a good idea for most of us. just sharing... I attempt to figure out from my years at WB that what ever I post will piss on some toothy gator and those lessons to me still apply, no matter where the blog's name is. I left WB for the most part as I have two political strikes. One was mentioning an idiot on the five. I don't want a third. I don't have the time or place to answer the same 79 questions that appear over and over again on WB. At some point we accept that we are all well versed in hiking as a group... we are still here to learn from each other and then there is a revelation... its more about camaraderie and friendship. I have not always taken the right path... But I choose a better direction.Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!

I hope that as I hang out here that I am not upsetting the group. I bring a different set of family values and I understand I know I am outspoken and I will not tolerate mis-information. I attempt to put forward humor and fun, I just want to be a positive force to add to the group knowledge.
Thanks.

I used to bring a flask with single malt Scotch - I'm partial to whiskies from the Islands (not just Islay, but Jura, Oban, Orkney, ...).
But I found that more often than not, the flask would still be unopened when I got to town. I just don't get the urge to drink when I'm Out There.
So, like anything else in my backpack that I discover I don't use, it now stays home.
I oughtn't to mention (but will anyway) the Tang-and-Everclear screwdrivers that occasionally appeared on the trail during my college days. That's surely the lightest weight option, since you're carrying essentially no water weight, but who wants to sleep in a shelter that someone's puked in? That seems to have been the usual outcome of an evening that included college kids and Tang-and-Everclear screwdrivers.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -

Last evening the dinner host brought out Crown Royal Apple. I sipped a small sample but was overwhelmed with the sweetness.
I did have a thought to include a splash into the next apple strudel i bake, but given the expense most likely I'll stick to a bottled hard cider.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -
