Booze Y Banter

RayMike is back bringing it with his mental health expertise and a hella great drink! Get a hold of some grapefruit vodka, club soda or you can get away with mineral water, and lime juice! Sip, Chug, or ya know drink like a normal person along with us while we discuss something we so often forget about; our energetic environment. It took a conversation with a close friend for me to remember how easily our emotional state is impacted by who is around us. So take a deep breath, recognize when the energy is theirs and not yours then set boundaries! The state of the world has us more emotional than usual lately especially with school starting so taking care of our mental health is key. Step back into yourself and realize when it's just your environment that has you out of wack. Cheers Boozers!

Switching it up this week with a pallet cleanser. We have a smoothie and a card game! I know I know, completely different, however in this time of craziness I think something a little different would be great, mostly for the laughs. So enjoy your drink of choice even if it's a smoothie and sip along while we have some laughs over this game that got us thinking about unusual topics.  Cover Art: Jorge Guerra Music: Black Moon by 126ers Get in Contact: Twitter: @Boozeybanter25 Instagram: @boozeybanter Email: boozeybanter25@gmail.com

Not a fling, not friends with benefits, but a situationship. According to Urban Dictionary this term has been known to man since 2014. Perhaps even before then! We may never know however we have a guest to help us sip their pairing of the Sweet Poison Cocktail and discuss what this topic is really about and some experiences we’ve had. Basically you don’t want to find yourself in one of these and you’ll find out why! Cheers boozers and drink responsibly because this one is hella boozy!

Ever wonder what an IPA is? Wanna know how they compare to the more popular type of beer? Tune in as I take a shallow dive into this weeks pairing the New Belgium VooDoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA. In this episode I talk about arguments for why you should and shouldn't share your passcode with the person you're romantically involved with. In the end of the episode I share my personal insight on the topic and where I stand on it, but ultimately since I've been single for a hot minute I'm really just trying to figure out what the thoughts are over this so please share on the facebook page, twitter, or insta-post comments! If you'd like to keep your comments anonymous send an email letting me know if we can share or not. Cheers Boozer fam!

I gave up control with this one boozers, well as much as I could. In honor of creating the name for the show RayMike has not only selected the drink for the week but also the topic. On a lighter note this week RayMike decided to give you all a deeper insight into my personality and he sure did try and come for me on this one. He read my birth chart and tried to explain a few sections of the chart. It was crazy accurate! We sip this week a Paloma which was honestly really really good…maybe a little too good…you’ll see as we start discussing our sexual preferences. We also touch on safety in the bedroom and things to be conscious of. As mentioned in the episode the website below is for Texas residents seeking health and human services from food, health, housing, and more. Drink responsibly and stay safe boozer fam.

Alrighty Boozers, this week I want to talk to you about how last weeks episode plays right into self love and just how important boundaries are with regard to that.

The goal is to realize how impactful boundaries are regarding every aspect of your life all while sipping this weeks Peppermint Chocolate Martini! SO GOOD. Cheers boozers!

Happy Halloween Boozers! This week join me and our second guest as we discuss our fears, where we think they stemmed from, and how we navigate handling those fears. Paired with this episode is my last minute version of a cucumber martini (the real ones have lime juice). To cover missing ingredients (the sweet and the sour) we substituted any version of Sprite. What we were unable to pair is still linked and called "The Witch's Heart". Cheers spooky Boozers!

In this Episode we are pairing the deliciously dangerous and boozy "Old Fashioned" while we discuss a conversation I had that gave me a new perspective on venting. My goal is that you leave this episode more thoughtful when listening to your loved ones vent. As you sip along I hope you gain an insight into situations where you're not getting the response you're looking for when venting to someone. Cheers Boozers!
