I don't worry about looking cool. On a hot day, I can guzzle Zimas and wine coolers like they're Kool Aid... which they almost are. I'm still buzzed as much as if I had two mixed drinks. Of course, the disclaimer is that I usually am by myself!

I'm with Mark... reached into the beer fridge last summer and came out with a Mike's Hard Lemonade... figured what the hell, and tried it. It's not bad... and goes down easy on a warm day.
Dunno if we even have Zima up here.

Mary, I take it then that you're not impressed with the commercial where the guy is sitting with a Coor's Light and his girlfriend and begins to make loving comments; she's joyous thinking that he's proposing and then flees in tears when she finds that he's talking about his beer.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

IMHO, a foofy drink must have some sort of milk product in it.
Now you can all prove me wrong.
My "macho" brother drinks mudslides every now and them...even in front of his friends! So there, Ken! Well OK, I'll admit it's only when us chicks make them!
I can't handle sweet fruity drinks anymore. They give me heartburn, and once while drinking a fuzzy naval (does anyone even drink these now?), my pulse started racing so bad that I thought I was having a heart attack! I also have bad memories from high school of drinking 2 liter bottles of Sun Country Wine Coolers all by myself. Yuk!

That's exactly what usually happens to me! I can't drink more than a couple without gerring heartburn.

If I could figure out how to keep the charcoal lit, I would probably grill more. The GF just went out to pick up some steak. The briquets will probably burn all the way through and burn out before we can turn the meat from red to pink, then we'll stick it in the microwave to finish it off.

You make me cry for those poor steaks. Sounds like you might not be using enough charcoal, or your steaks are too far away from the heat. Shouldn't take more than 5-7 minutes a side for 'em! Me, I'm doing ribs and artichokes. Messy!

We're trying match light today, putting on some rib eye. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck! We'll see if I can avoid carbonizing my ribs. Or having them raw. See, I'm not all that good at this, either...
