So there's this new Mexican place about 2 miles away (Tex Mex). We love it so we went to check it out. I got the standard 32oz Dos Equis Amber that every Tex-Mex place in Minnesota has and my wife gets a house Pinot Grigio as is her usual. My daughter (15) goes with a water, son (12) with a white (non chocolate) milk. What can I say, the kids don't like soda. I'd take some parent credit for it, but I doubt we have anyting to do with it.
Drinks come and not only is my beer huge, but my wife's pour of wine is probably like 10 oz. Nice.
We order (I go wtih the simple beef tacos because I want to know if these guys can get the basics right, my wife gets a birria burrito, daugher and son both go with chicken strips and fries because their pallets suck). We play some mini uno while we wait, and when teh food comes my wife still has lots of wine left while my beer is about 2/3 gone. Since we are out I wanted to have two drinks and damn this fast mexican order/delivery time. I decide I want a vodka & soda since I the beer is too much at that volume and I also suffer from gout (like @shuke). There is just too much time for me to just have one, so I go with my goto move - I'll take a doulbe tall vodka soda. **** yeah.
The waitress comes back with my drink after my daughter wins uno and while we are eating (food is outstanding) and it's a 32 beer mug. It's clear other than the ice. I ask "this is the vodka" she says "yes, the titos and soda." I asked no more questions as I was confused. I tasted it several times and ascertained that it was defintely not watered down nor particularly strong. It was simply 32oz of a normal vodka & soda. Party time I guess.
I told the wife to get another wine since I was going to be here a while so she did and it was another 9-10 oz pour. Nice.
I did finish the drink. She did finish teh wine. My son won a game of UNO. The bill comes and my big drink is $16. Best deal ever.
The moral of the story is that I am very drunk.

My friends live up the hill from downtown, their backyard backs up to that prairie by the new development
