What do you drink at happy hour?

AC – I prefer a vodka with soda, single, tall with a splash of bloody mary mix.  Lime as a garnish.  I seem to consume them quickly so the extra soda water helps me from becoming intoxicated too quickly.  I LOVE a good bloody mary, but don’t want the sodium so a splash adds flavor.  At home or with my friends I am definitely a red wine person.

RF – I’m going beer. I lean hard toward the IPAs. Here in OKC I like to go with the Titan or Caldera. Or I like to find a cool looking/sounding beer on tap and order that. Red wine has its own time and place too.

If you know you’re staying out past midnight, what are you packing with you?

AC – I am rarely out past 10pm, but I always have a fruit strip or organic gummies.  I know that both items will raise my blood sugar enough w/o spiking it.  Worse case scenario I would ask the bartender for a shot glass of cranberry juice.

RF – Rarely will you find me without a Clif Bar in my back pocket. I’ve found that if you end up going low at the bar, that usually means you’ve had more than a few. If you’ve had more than a few, asking for cup of soda incognito usually doesn’t keep it up for very long. The combo of carbs, fat, and protein works for me. Plus they hit the spot when everyone else is chowing pizza. I usually break down my tester and distribute the parts into 3 separate pockets.
