So, I finally got ahold of some Sangria (and not some Sangria-flavored beer that was advertised as Sangria and that was annoying as hell) and am now drinking it.
It's not as sweet as I was expecting, but just sipping it, it isn't bad. The alcohol flavor is quite potent.
It's not the expensive kind, but as I'm not an expert in wines, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
That said, it's also not as good as I was hoping it would be.
If I get tipsy, antics may follow.

If you can't find Sangria, just make some in the toilet.

So, sorry to be boring, but I stopped when I got to "buzzed" status. While this is... vaguely fun, it's not something I want to make a habit of, nor would I want it to be more intense. I'll probably water it down in the future so that I don't get buzzed so quickly. |

Yeah, you don't want to get drunk off a red wine. They tend to cause evil hangovers.

I tend to go for tequila in it's various forms. Shenanigans usually follow.

I tend to drink a fair amount of local reds, especially Shiraz, cab/sav and cab/merlot (or, I did back when I had money), and never found I got bad hangovers from them. I did find that I got a very dry mouth from them, compared to other drinks, so I suppose they might be more dehydrating than other drinks, but I only tend to get hangovers when white wine was the main drink served. |

Your mileage may vary, but red wines tend to contain a greater number of chemicals the can cause or exacerbate a hangover.

If you want to control the alcohol content (as well as everything else) of a sangria, it's stupidly easy to make. All you really need is a bottle o' red wine, some fruit, some ginger ale (or Sprite), a pitcher, a knife, and a spoon. Add whatever fruits you like to about half a pitcher of red whine. Then cut up the fruit and dump it in. Add some soda for bubbles. Stir and consume.

Red whine? Is that what you get if you give twilight communist overtones?

You probably want to add some color to those cheeks, too.
