Reading books with a glass of wine

>Coffee in the 'FUCK YOU' tier

Heh, don't worry kid. I'm sure your mom will let you have your first coffee/Red Bull soon.

>mad that I called your "oh so french, oh so existentialist, oh so cynical and SoHo" bullshit out

I don't think too much about what I drink while reading, nor what I read while drinking for that matter.

>Letting bourgeois bohemians ruin life's most patrician beverage for you

What a shame kid, what a shame.

>judging people for their choice of drink
>understanding trivial things through the lens of image and impression management

You're part of the problem.

does it count as try hard if it's a beer?

>it's a dip who tries to take a bunch of idiots shitposting to stave off their boredom literally

No, Reddit. You're part of the problem.

Well, how else are they going to be superior to everyone on their friends list?

Finally the wine slurpers reveal themselves.

I don't see the problem. I drink really cheap wine though and usually straight out of the pack.

...

Exactly.

TURNING WATER INTO SPAAAACEBAGS

I will judge you for whatever I like, you little bitch.

Of course I do that. Wine tastes great and I enjoy reading. Why not combine the two? Sometimes I also add a bowl or two of pipe tobacco or a cigar if it is early enough to read outside.

If you actually like it that's fine. If you're doing it because you think it sounds cool to do, you're a pseud. The dumbest thing I do is sometimes I'll pair a book with an appropriate sounding drink for fun. Like bourbon or rye with Faulkner or cognac with Gaddis. Or shitty cheap beer with Gass's writing about the Midwest.

I'm going to steal this idea desu sempai

Slaves to the spectacle.

>not belonging to the elite class and drinking wine instead of drinking beer like a working class man

Its like you want to be looked down on.

>Wine master race.

Love wine and love books.
I never mix serious lit and alcohol, though, because it really slows down my reading after even just a glass or two.
For plebshit I guess it wouldn't matter, but yeah, it seems to mainly be for the sake of posing for instagram pics

i have done with some pilsner or aquavit, don't really see why you can't enjoy a glass of wine with your books tbqh

> Still thinking that only the elite can afford wine and it's a status symbol
Back to the middle ages with you

I've been meaning to try aquavit for a while now. What brands would you recommend?

wine, coffee, scotch, whatever. Usually there's an end table.

Why do you care so much what helps other people get some reading done?

Do you think that when people read on the bus they're trying to impress you then too?

thats so conformist wtf

I regularly drink whiskey and coffee together while I read. I call it whoffee.

Whiskey mixes well with hot coffee.

I drink a glass of wine or beer every night, and read every night. I also own a home and do it in the privacy of my home. Only an 18 year old Southern murrican who lacks any nuance or sophistication outside of Jim Beam and Budweiser they steal from their dad would think drinking wine is pretentious

It can be pretentious. Anything can depending on the context.

You mean an Irish coffee?

Reading drunk is the absolute worst.

Why would it be a meme? A glass of wine literally opens your mind and relaxes the body. This is fact. Just don't go and drink the whole bottle, and don't be a seventeen year-old girl and the one glass will be perfect.
For writing, 2-3 glasses sipped slowly over the course of a few hours is the absolute shit.

i intone in my glass: words i read aloud
the glass answers
i do it again
and again
again

I don't intentionally sit down with a glass and book, but sometimes after a glass or two I get an urge to read.

I have wine with dinner, I pour an alcoholic sized glass I can't finish with my meal. The glass accompanies me to after meal reading
Feels good

Kind of, but without the cream or sugar that typical Irish coffee recipes call for. Just whiskey poured straight into a cup of black coffee and stirred a bit.

Switch to brandy. It's much better in black coffee.

what about a beer and reading?

Yeah a lot of women prefer win over beer as something to drink casually. Nobody's going to guilt trip about getting drunk from wine, as well. As for reading I'll have a chardonnay and a hit from the pipe, thank you very much.

Most wine tastes like shit to me because I don't like grapes.

I do it, it boosts my intelligence by a factor of ten.

Maybe just stop thinking you're so important that people read to impress you.

where's that graffiti located? i need to know

I like cognac but putting it in coffee seems like it'd be a waste. Unless you mean that cheap shit e&j brandy that homeless people buy.

> Not living in Italy where we drink wine at lunch.
Stay pleb op

Coffee, tea, water or a cigarette. I'm trying to pay attention to the book.

Step it up. In France they drink wine while on duty in the Police and Navy.

>women

ugh

Never did like wine, hard liquor is the shit though. I usually drink iced tea when reading but sipping hard liquor while writing is happiness

I usually drink a prole beer like high life or pbr while I read. (or when i'm just hanging around at my apartment in general, really.)

nothing 'pseud' about drinking a beer...

excuse me?

>living in a culture where fermented grape juice is pretentious

you're not going to make it op

the glass caresses the lip
cold as impending doom
relax in spasms
I'm gone
adieu

I find people eager or vehement in accusations of pretension radiate insecurity.

This is very real. My ex would drink half a bottle rereading Dorian gray some nights.

Is it weird that I really miss shitty beer? I think that some others taste better but i long for when I was drinking steel reserves because it was cheap.

You're nostalgic for the times, not the cheap beer itself.

I do it.

t. Better Than Food

If you drink something based on whether it makes you a pseud, you're a pseud.

i do, but that's because i'm an alcoholic and wine is my alcohol of choice
honestly my reading suffers as a result

one hand to hold book, one hand to flip pages. this is the way it has been since the dawn of books

Honestly the only place i've ever seen people show off their reading/drinking combination is on Veeky Forums

>2016
>poisoning your mind with any substances instead of going natural

Now is a better time than ever, you fucking maroon.

my college roommate and i used to do this ironically. we also made sure to get the shittiest box/jug wine possible for added irony or something.

The concept of irony here is so confusing. I've done it before myself. Did I enjoy it because I genuinely would have liked it if not for myself? Was I enjoying acting the part of someone else?

so two glasses? wew lad

pssht
post-irony is the hip thing now

Is that why you left her?

Total fucking win I'm in the Alpini

reading/drink tier list
god tier: Coffee (black)
good tier: hard liquor ( bourbon gin etc)
okay tier: ovaltine
bad tier: chai tea
shit tier: beer

Just gin thanks

Don't read drunk, have a drink while you read

So literally what the OP was asking?

>Bragging about how much alcohol you drink

Would've saved me some time desu

Post picture

I like grapes but don't like the taste of wine. I don't like alcohol at all, actually.

I drink Ovaltine or chai while reading sometimes, and I like both. Usually have a biscuit or two as well. I have a sweet tooth desu.

>saying specifically that she drinks half a bottle rather than that she drinks wine because the half bottle part seems worth mentioning

>2016
>buying into the capitalist myth of caffeine

In India they drink scotch while on duty, come home shitfaced, and then try to rape their wives.

Go on...

you can't rape your wife user

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Just left a wine tasting. AMA.

What happens when we die?
Also,
Liam or Noel?

Heaven or Hell, the choice is yours.

Both are stupid names so neither.

Do they really spit each sip of wine out after tasting it at those? That sounds retarded.

Most people don't feel like getting hammered at a wine tasting.

What's the point of drinking if you're not getting drunk?

You can, we didn't. It was a private event though so people didn't mind getting a little drunk.

Degenerate pleb detected.

What's the point of eating if you aren't going to stuff ourself so full that you want to puke?
