Buzznotes: Bill Murray on "The Montana Cooler"
where you buy a case of champagne and you take all the bottles out, and you take all the cardboard out, and you put a garbage bag inside of it, then you put all the bottles back in and then you cover it with ice, and then you wrap it up and you close it. And that will keep it all cold for a weekend and you can drink every single bottle. And the way I like to drink it in a big pint glass with ice. I fill it with ice and I pour the champagne in it, because champagne can never be too cold. And the problem people have with champagne is they drink it and they crash with it, because the sugar content is so high and you get really dehydrated. But if you can get the ice in it, you can drink it supremely cold and at the same time you're getting the melting ice, so it's like a hydration level, and you can stay at this great level for a whole weekend. You don't want to crash. You want to keep that buzz, that bling, that smile. -- Dazed

Guy needs to drink better champagne. The good stuff is not that sweet.

I never was one for beer or wine. Took too long, too bulky. I went for the hard stuff. Of course I did not drink like "normal" people. Any alcoholic beverage I drank, when I took off the cap I threw it away (unless, of course, it was a mickey which would fit in one of my pockets. When I could I'd put the whiskey, Jack Daniels Green when I could get it, them Canadians have a thing for rye to the exclusion of many fine bourbons and Tennessee whiskies, I'd put it in the freezer. why dilute the stuff with ice, ruin the flavor? As if this jaboney Murray invented drinking. Oh oh, drifting again. Those "remember whens" creep up sometimes. you'd think twenty-seven years away from the shit would do away with the triggers. Uh uh, nope.
BTW I wouldn't think folks in Montana drank champagne.

I was very disappointed the first time I drank that stuff as it was nothing like what I imagined. It was very sour. That was in 1988 and it was from a case of Moet Chandon, 1967 I think. Never touched the stuff again. Same was true for escargots and caviar. Nasty shit – all of it. I guess my taste is just not that complex.

A single glass of the Widow (Brut) is enough for me.

Drink anything like Murray sez and it's a toss up as to what quits first: your kidneys or your liver.
