On a serious note, best to be really stingy with the gummies. One, if you’re not used to them they can be overwhelming and you’re in an unfamiliar situation, among people you met only that morning. Two, mixing them with alcohol, bad idea. Just my two cents.
Yep - Most people I know in FL have MMJ cards, and some eat them like they're literal candy. They're not obviously. FL dispensaries sell everything from hash to huge content thc weed, but everyone wants the gummies. Get all messed up than decide to eat another. Then another. Sooner or later, you're not gonna be doing so good.

I see it w/ members at work, where their young kids would only need to have a little curiosity to pop a few in their mouths - from a golf bag or a cart compartment, etc.

Like 30 mph e-bikes (another great trend down here), you had better know what you're doing and you better be careful doing it.

I'll add that members give them to us constantly - I would never take one while on the clock, but I'm sort of alone there. They also show up in lost and found - meaning they were left in a fleet cart. Nothing like some 40 y/o trust fund idiot asking around if anyone found his gummy doobage.

Strange world in some places in this country wrt weed right now. Like the 70's but w/out a Frisbee separating the stems and the seeds from the brown weed, and the good music.

Yeah, and I’m passed out in the bed of the truck. Good times.

Tried High West’s premade Manhattan this weekend and it’s very good, but is about $4 more than Bulleit and OTR. Probably not worth the upgrade for a big party but it is a better premade cocktail than the other two on the whole.

You will get many different ideas, but there is only one clear winner. Evan Williams Egg Nog with a Maker’s Mark floater, better known as a “Kevnogg”. Everyone will have a fantastic time, but the next morning you will wish you were dead.

Me. I tried to talk Rick out of it but he insisted. He said the Friday Jukebox threads are preparation enough for me. Who knew?

I’m going to a wedding in Minneapolis in a month, nephew. The rehearsal dinner is at this brewery, which offers THC beer. I’m going to pass, the act of lipreading is difficult enough when you’re stone cold sober. I’ve embarrassed myself at enough weddings, not happening again.

I have quite a few recovering alcoholics in my family, my cousins and I partied hard, those days are over.

Say hi to @STPGopherfan & @BVSt.Paul while you are other. Both are in the Minneapolis/St Paul area and both are fine gentlemen, like yourself.

You're going to need to purchase many more coolers or start asking friends/family/neighbors to borrow their largest coolers.

1) Since you are serving individual drink containers you'll need something large to keep a lot of ice cold for many hours. Do you have a spare chest freezer that you can pack full of bagged ice? Ice melts rather quickly when guests keep opening the lid on a cooler(s). It's basic thermodynamics.

2) You should have one cooler for every type of available beverage and they should be properly labeled on the lids as to contents (just tape a labelled piece of cardboard to the top). You don't want your party guests ice fishing around for their beverage of choice, do you?

(a) Water, (b) Beer Choice #1, (c) Beer Choice #2, (d) Beer Choice #3, (e) Pre-mixed cocktail choices 1 and 2, (f) Pre-mixed cocktail choices 3 and 4, (g) rose wine choices; (h) White wine choices. Red wine choice can be served at ambient temperatures.

3) And you need to hire someone like Tattoo from Fantasy Island to keep all of the coolers properly stocked and filled with ice. It could be as simple as your lawn guy or a neighbor's lawn guy.

I’m told the homeowner (brides God Mother) has a team of 4 ice and trash workers. The cooler tonight was one of 4 I’m going to buy. Brother 2 and I are icing everything at my beer store Thursday then re icing Saturday am.
As for fishing in coolers, that’s part of the fun. I’m gonna have 100 Guinness, 100 lites then 20+ rando twelve packs. It’ll be fun I promise.
”BRO DID YOU JUST DRINK THE LAST CAPE MAY YOU FVCCK!?

More info is emerging. You never previously mentioned a "bride's God Mother". I thought this soiree was occurring at Casa la Kaviosiey.

100 Guiness' seems overkill to me. The women don't like them. Not a good plan unless you want to keep them for yourself.:)

IMO, the beer should be divided between the following: (1) Miller Light-15% ; (2) Michelob Ultra-30%; (3) Coors Light -15%; ; (4) Mexican/Euro beers(Modelo, XX, Amstel, Heinies, Stella's, Urquells etc) -20% (6) Regional craft brews-20% .

The young kids really like that Ultra stuff.

ZERO bottles and easy cleanup for DIY. But hey, the kids can also use the empty bottles to launch bottle rockets and terrorize the neighborhood in the weee hours.
the surrounding 1%ers are phones in hand at 9:59 pm to the constabulary (or so I’ve been told)
