You're home alone, sitting down and relaxing with your favorite consumable item, be it drink, drugs, food, what have you. What are you having, and what do you put on the stereo to accompany your evening?

Makers Mark and Diet Coke, on the TV is some PLL, on the sound system is the Pandora Kings of Leon station.
On the iPad is Lemmy

This might be a good piece to start, I'd say it's rather metal even!
This is absolutely lovely, thanks so much for sharing!

I don't know if I have a favorite consumable. Let's see, if a drink, it could be tonic water or some homemade lemonade with tonic, or it could be bubble tea, or it could be fireball or botrytis if I'm feeling like something alcoholic.
Foods might be chocolate, ice cream, chips, cake, prosciutto, olives, blue cheese and crackers
Drugs would be mushrooms but I wouldn't consider that a relaxation companion.
I don't think I put anything on my stereo if I want to relax. Like if I did, I wouldn't have the food or drinks. I get easily overwhelmed like that. Scrap the food and drink and put carbon based lifeforms

I sing and dance to 'relax', lol, so perhaps romantic salsa/disco/acid jazz and a jay?

A joint and a documentary. Probably history, nature, or mythology

That sounds like a 10/10 experience.

I'd puff a few hits of the oil vape out on the porch and stick a fat prilla of swedish snus under my lip. By my side a cup of herbal chai tea or seltzer, maybe a nice beer or just still water. Throw on a record - I've got The Beatles, Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, pink Floyd, Radiohead, spoon, dr dog, the shins and a lot more!
OR turn on my ham radio for some scan and chill on the uhf/vhf repeaters where the other weirdos of my flavor chat about nerd stuff and life, trade gossip and just generally hang out at night.

Bong in one hand, weed vape in the other, a can of Pepsi on the coffee table, and Suicidal Tendencies on my stereo. ST doesn't make the most out of my two subwoofers but they compliment the Pepsi quite a lot.

Beer and a charcuterie board and listening to either John Denver or the Stuff You Should Know podcast.
-
KEXP radio, lemongrass kombucha and BBQ'ed coalho cheese (kind of like cheese curds... but different, it's a Brazilian thing).
The radio I found out about it today, despite playing a plethora of different styles, I'm quite impressed how the curation is of excellent quality.

Methamphetamine and cocaine in order to get nice and focused. Diet coke to keep a clean palate and provide a refresher as needed, but when the focus dies down, more meth and coke until I feel like my head is going to literally explode. While this is going on, I'm listening to Babymetal, Electric Callboy and any other party metal that gets my juices really flowing. I am relaxing, but I might clean the house also, sometimes Jesus just calls me. Eventually, it feels like I'm going to actually physically die so I decide the up cycle is over and I need to come nice and down. I take two hits of molly (which will be just fabulous in 20 minutes or so) but in the meantime, I need to take the edge off immediately, so I shoot two (fat) shots of Woodford Reserve Bourbon (typically Distiller's Select, but I'll slum on the basic stuff any day). This is the part where Pink Floyd is queued up. Typically Dark Side of the Moon, but also A Momentary Lapse of Reason, because the tears of Roger Waters fans serve to sustain me in these moments. I might also queue up some Dream Academy just to drive my love of David Gilmour home. The Molly kicks in, and I'll almost always decide it's time for a fruit and cheese board, grapes and brie, mixed nuts, apple slices and a really dry Manchego. Two more shots of Woodford and we're just starting to get comfortable. Heroin is hard(er) to come by - but if I have it, it's time to shoot it up. 10mg in .5ml suspension will be more than enough to complement the Woodford. If not, Fentanyl it is: I spin the wheel of fortune on the Mexican Percocet. Holy shit, I'm really feeling the groove now. This is where my love of 80s pop ballads kicks in. Stalwart standards like Duran Duran, Thompson Twins and Howard Jones pastiched with glam favorites like Poison, Motley Crue and Ozzy Osborne (God rest his soul). At this point I'm beginning to lose my ability to do remain conscious, and a nice glass of Merlot is absolutely necessary. The night must end with Enigma - anything off of Cross of Changes will do. If I remember anything in the morning, then I didn't do it right and I need to start over.

I'm weird, I sit down and unwind to a bunch of data management.
I don't really eat or drink recreationally, it's just fuel for me at this point, and I really only listen to music to fill space when driving. -
This is absolutely lovely, thanks so much for sharing!
You're very welcome!
Glad you like it! -

Big ol' fat hand cannon of a joint, listening to roots reggae.

Amateur hour out here?
Jk, this is the way. Pretty much my exact Tuesday night.

I honestly enjoy a tall crisp glass of water with my relatively high end audio setup. I just pulled the trigger on some major upgrades (bigger subs, better amp, better dac). Typically listening to a broad variety (classical to norteño to thrash metal to anything sonically interesting).
Recently it's been tracks that I know really well to evaluate the setup. Not a huge Billie eillish fan but she can push bass in Xanny or Bad guy. Same with Lorde on royals. Deacon blues and Peg. Some Bubbles because all audiophiles really want to listen to is ping pong balls being dropped in the room around you. I want to pinpoint that balls location within 3 inches.
From there I typically relax enough to listen to something I actually want to bump like Angelina Aguilar or Overmono. Maybe some deafhaven.
I do like a good ipa but have been sensitive to hangovers. If anything there's a preference for a good ol left hand ciggie but that was more common when I lived in Seattle.
