Sorry I'm a bit overcome with the alcohol I've consumed and decided to make a thread about alcohol. please express anything you wish about the sacred nectar. my fav is real ale. None of this lager shite. Spirits are cool too.

Aah, a thread to my favor... :D
There's so much to say. If only this wouldn't happen now :headbang:

Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is god's gift to mankind.

Ditto certain beers.

I really think I shouldn't post to such a topic when I'm sober but I'll do it anyway.

I like most alcoholic drinks (at least those that i've tried until now) except tequila.

baileys irish cream
i got 2 1-liter bottles for $32 while i was on my cruise. im keeping it for my next vacation

I know this sounds crazy but trust me I will stake my life on the fact that yoiu will not hate this drink:


tequila = 1 shot
Lime = 1 shot

Trust me :D ;) :D

What!!!!! You don't like tequila :(
I'm sorry for you :D

Well it's just that I had some pretty bad experiences with it the first time and the second time, and the thir... ;)

After that I stopped drinking it, maybe i should try it again sometime, but then not overdoing it.

I've heard tequila described (quite capably) as fine old vintage battery acid.

Which said, I prefer Gran Centenario Anejo and some other tequilas to many single malts.

I know this sounds crazy but trust me I will stake my life on the fact that yoiu will not hate this drink:

I'll try it sometime if I don't forget or I'm busy drinking beer ;)

seriously man I swear by it
*drinks tequilla+lime* OH HELL YEAH

Depends on the mood:
Pub? Guiness
Shooter? Tequila shots, Russian Roulettes or Orgasms (kinda sweet - don't ask)
Classy? Red wine
Sophisticated? Whiskey or port

Mmmm, BRB

*runs to cabinet for a glass of... something*

That stuff is quality.

I like vodka and (I will no doubt get slagged for this) cider.

Candy is dandy, but liqour is quicker.

so much alcohol, so little time

That stuff is quality.

I like vodka and (I will no doubt get slagged for this) cider.

Its alcohol and no person will be slagged off for whatever they drink. except alcopops (Males) J/K. Cider from a proper manufactuer can be very pleasent, I must admitt that I find White Lightning and Ole Ye English very nasty IMO

Gotta have my rum and cokes.

They are well nice

what did you find in the cabinet?

Two bottles of red wine... rhum... vermouth... chocolate liqueur...

Ohhh the fridge
*runs to fridge*
ah..... Guiness... oohhh the freezer... Bombay gin... cocoa liqueur... Kaluha... Lemon vodka...

I am male and I admit that I once drank a small bottle of Smirnoff Black Ice. I don't see the big taboo about guys drinking alcopops, but I don't because they are actually way too sweet for me. As for cider, I like Strongbow, Bulmers and Druids.

Holy crap, it's Pablo.

Give me a Glen Morangie (sp?) of a glen fiddock any day. I bought a bottle of 15 yrs Solera (sp?) Reserve Glen Fiddock the other day, my fav. like it more than the 18 years ancient (to smooth, not enough flavour)

For beer, imported is guinness (beware ireland, im coming to drink you dry oneday :p) and just to get drunk, Speights Pride of the South (http://www.speights.co.nz), a New Zealand beer. gotta love that scenary on the website tho :)

Drinks on you, hey if your female that can have a double meaning :D :D :D

Best way to drink them... ;)

If you are drinking right now Cheers!

While I was working at the nightclubs VK Cherry, Orange and Blue were all popular with the guys.
You found Black too sweet? it's the most alcoholic of the lot, I can drink it but don't like it much...in fact I've gone off Reds 'cos I prefer VK Ice which is sweeter still (and cheaper). I drink a lot of Malibu and cokes or pineapple juice, but seeing I had neither in the house...grapejuice is actually quite good with it.
Don't really like champers and I managed half a bud...cos it was free.

Mooshead beers are probabally my favorite right about now.
Jagermeister does the trick.
Gin and tonic is lovely when I'm just sipping.
"Crappy" wines (6.99 bottles of strawberry something) make my night.

Holy crap, it's Pablo.

:eek: Random Pab appearance!





I drink whatever beer is on special at the local shop (usually tui). At bars, I don't mind as long as I'm not paying.

I come from a very long line of very proud drunks.

'drunk' being synonymous with 'australian' ?

I'm more of a beer man, myself. Honey Brown at the moment, with Sam Adams' Black Lager waiting in the 'fridge.

I forgot about my undying love of vintange and tawny port.

Recall everyone, Kahta is a high school kid who really has no life experiences to speak of.

Well, in his own words he's played lots of video games.

Granted some people (pathetic alcoholics) may do that, but the majority of people simply drink because it heightens the pleasure of many situations.

The best analogy is eating something nice instead of mushed up slop.

Mushed up nutrient slop may suffice to ward off hunger, but people of character seek to heighten the pleasure of their experiences, hence eating delicious things.

There's a difference between drinking and getting drunk. I've done the first but never the latter. Got tipsy on a MaiTai though, all the Captain Morgans was on the top and went straight to my head. :D

Getting utterly smashed is a humiliating and thus, a humbling experience.

And those who are not so small minded as to reject everything that gives pleasure out of hand just because some misguided anhedonists who think that all licquor is unchristian even though one of Christ's better known miracles was to create wine so that his friends would have something to drink.

"It was the only thing hygenic to drink back then" I hear the pentacostals shout. They had fire back then, didn't they?

Besides which, after several thousand years of alcohol consumption our bodies have evolved to handle it. In fact, to drink about 2 drinks a day, of whatever liquor, is better for you than drinking nothing. At about 4 drinks a day you hit the point of diminished returns.

So, drink up, health nuts!

I'd heard that it was roughly a small glass of liquor or a glass of beer or wine. a day.

Most doctors I know socially tell me that they're obliged to say one or two because then people will take that to mean that 3 or 4 isn't so bad. Like when you have a friend who's always 30 minutes late, so when he wants to know what time to meet you, you quote him a time 30 minutes before you'll show up.

They tell me that really, for most people, drinking 4 glasses a day is, healthwise, the same as not drinking at all. 2 drinks is the best.

Interesting

I generally drink either a glass of port or a bit of scotch before bed.

I am a christian. I go to church on sundays and wednesdays. I also drink, though I waited until I turned 21. I've read the bible and all it says is don't be drunk all the time, thus indicating that drinking sometimes is okay. I absolutely love Makers Mark (the best whiskey ever), AMF's, Motivators, Slippery Nipples, and shiraz's, riesling's and champagne/sparkling wines, just definitely not all together. I only drink once or twice a week and I only make out with random guys once ever couple of months. As long as you don't have to drink to be happy, drink on! ;)

Well, then, cheers to you all.

Drinking and getting drunk is for losers that want to escape reality.

Its a light hearted discussion on who drinks what. I mean if you don't drink thas fair enough or if your not old enough but hey. My point is you don't like alcohol then don't post on a thread about alcohol.
I mean all you could do is hmmmmmmmm *thinks* Preach? Troll? Gain a small ego boost by putting other people down?

Wow, more mead drinkers. I thought my friend who makes his own was one of a kind...obviously not.

mead is really nice, a drink to savoured in large quantities ;)

Yesterday was my first day back from spring break. I think I won spring break since I spent 7 of the 10 days off drunk as a skunk. If only I could drink more often while in school. Or at school.

*unites*

I like just about everything but Gin.

an Odd mix that I really enjoy is Drambie & Scotch, known here as a "Rusty Nail"
:D

I'll drink anything :p

Indeed. They invented Guinness and St. Paddy's Day. How can they be girly?

Baileys is all creamy and sweet and ick though :(

*gulps down Guinness and a whiskey chaser*

it has to be vodka all the way with a cheeky sambuca now and then

Vodka is not a tasty drink.

If your not a fan of the vodka. I'd say try some of the Smirnoff Twists. Escept for watermelon and strawberry cause they are way too sweet. Vanilla is real good though. And mixes well with anything that you can put vanilla into...i was going to make an alcohol vanilla shake sometime but haven't got the chance to yet.

I come from a very long line of very proud drunks.
But as a Muslim you don't drink, right?

While I was working at the nightclubs VK Cherry, Orange and Blue were all popular with the guys.
You found Black too sweet? it's the most alcoholic of the lot, I can drink it but don't like it much..

Don't really like champers and I managed half a bud..
Yeah I found Black Ice too sweet. So you can imagine my reaction to Ice, WKD, etc!

I prefer to mix vodka with orange or cranberry juice. In a pub I would drink Guinness or Bulmers.

I like champagne, but drink it rarely.

Well I think that video games are for kids who want to sit around getting fat while their brains turn to slush, so STFU.

So you won't really drink anything will you? Besides what's girly about Baileys? It's great!

Yeah we Irish are very good at making whiskey. Even tho I don't drink it.

Well, you don't drink it straight!

Well, you don't drink it straight!
You don't?...Whoops ;)
Rather into Bavaria at the mo, nice clean and crisp.
Would normally drink either Spitfire or Budvar in a pub, but will drink just about anything.
A combination drink from Alan Partridge is nice, even if it is badly named...A Ladyboy! A pint of your choice, followed by a G&T with a Baileys chaser, mmmm... :D

Meh, I'm not a huge fan of the Smirnoff Twists either. Vodka mixed with cranberry soda is really the only way I like it.

I'm more of a beer girl.

i adore IPAs and regular pale ales.

Regarding the province, just stating my position in a friendly fact to avoid any possible unfriendly conversation...

As for the beer and Chocolate *wink*, you don't know what you're missing ;)

I have fairly limited drinking experience. Cheap vodka sucks, although the better stuff with cranberry juice is nice. I think I need to try Twisted Raspberry again. Jim Beam is harsh. Captain and cokes weren't too awful. And American beer ... I just don't like that stuff.

Is that unfriendly conversation you speak of a "EWWWWWWWWW QUEBEC THAT MUST MEAN YOU WANT TO SAIL AWAY INTO HUDSONS BAY AND SPEAK FRENCH!" or something?

Man, I'm craving poutine right about now. I'm down with Quebec.

Several of my friends do that quite often. Will get a 5 L box of cheap wine and just get trashed off that.
