OT: Alcohol substitutes

Demantoid

I've had drinks (wine) with the OHat home tonight, then went out to the local and ran into some workmates if his (more wine) but I find that, being sans wine in the house a few hours later, Diet Coke plus a handful of maraschino cherries is a good placebo.
What do you drink when there's no more booze to be had in the house?

If it did, I wouldn't bother.

Resolves: Get some vodka in the freezer next week.

the locals would marinate them in a liqueur called maraschino, made from the marasca's juice, pits and leaves.

Soz stoory, I'm winding down after painting the town red in a pair of 4 inch hardly worn Choos. I've been in sandals all summer and my feet are throbbing (there's no way I'm going to sleep till they calm), so I'm making a foray in to the forum lateshift
