This thread is for all you out there that like to drink. I personally love to drink. I generally have alcohol at least 4 days a week (not an alcoholic though because I could live without it...I just choose not to :D). Anyway, my favorite drink is absinthe. My favorite beer is Blue Moon.

I used to drink much more than I do these days.

Seems anymore, I just get sick way too fast to actually enjoy myself when Im drinking.

So..I just dont drink much.

I do however, enjoy a cold Woodchuck draft.

I don't like to drink at all. Alcohol tastes like poison to me, probably because it is. I don't have any moral objections to your drunkenness, I would just rather drink some Coca Cola.

Bizarrely enough, I'm currently drinking more consistently and often than I have been for years. I haven't had a day without a drink for about the past month, although some days 'a drink' has consisted solely of a shot of rum or a measure of whiskey. A kind of strange thing to happen to someone in their early thirties - the kind of age where people are generally calming down and settling into somewhat more humdrum work and life patterns, whereas I find myself veering away from such regularities.

Current fave tipples of the moment: dark rum, Carlsberg lager, Powers, Crabbe's ginger wine, and the mighty (but slightly sickly) Whiskey Mac.

Ah, but it should be pointed out that certain alcoholic drinks taken in moderation (such as red wine) have certain health benefits, whereas the same cannot be said for Coca Cola.

Mmmmm...wish I could get some of that, for me though as Absinthe is illegal here in the US, I go with Vodka, with a little Sprite for color.

i drink 1 stronger beer a day (like Duvel, Grimbergen or Leffe) or some wine with the food i eat and more in the weekends (then i also drink a pint (and most of the time way more than one))

Coca Cola is poison mate - they wern't allowed to put cocaine in it so they put a s#*t load of chemicals in to compensate.

i like to drink all beer - Ale, stout, bitter, lager and mead :)

Yeah, but Coca Cola in moderation doesn't necessarily have any negative effects. Coke makes me happy and I like being happy. Booze tastes gross and I generally avoid that which repulses me. I couldn't drink red wine if I wanted to, anyway. The stuff gives me a headache and the smell sends me running from the room.

Errr....I live in the US too. You just can't sell absinthe in the US. It isn't technically illegal to buy it from an overseas distributor though. I have about 8 bottles.

I drink beer usually, but I prefer Vodka. The little water beats water all to hell if you ask me. I enjoy it straight or with hot blackcurrent juice. And yes, I'm drunk & drinking right now. Not Vodka though.

I haven't tried a lot of different kinds of alcohol, but I can say I like gin (in moderation, of course). I'm not a big fan of wine, and I really don't like the taste of beer. In fact, I still usually prefer soft drinks to liquor, but that may be because I'm pretty young.

Blue Moon is AWSOME! Have you ever tried it with an orange slice in it? MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm (better in a draft with the orange slice!)

Newcastle Brown Ale, or Ridley's Old Bob :D

That's how I ALWAYS drink Blue Moon :D

OK, where was the "All the above" option on the poll?? :)

I drink beer mostly, preferentially Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

I do like scotch too, Caol ila from Islay is my personal fave at the mo.

I miss not living in Scotland anymore *sigh*

Yeah, but Coca Cola in moderation doesn't necessarily have any negative effects. Coke makes me happy and I like being happy.

Not necessarilly no, but it is a pretty weak example of a 'healthier' alternative to alcoholic beverages.

Personally red wine gives me migraines. The pleasure of drinking a couple of glasses of red wine is not worth the blindspots or feeling like someone is hammering a railroad spike into the left front of my head the day after.

That's how I ALWAYS drink Blue Moon :D
I went to a tavern in Indianapolis, and ordered one. I wayched the bartender put the orange slice in it, and thought to my self "what the F@$& is he doing to my beer?!" Then I took a sip and damn near jumped the bar to hug him! lol

Where's Cider on the poll?!
Failing that something like Dark Island (ale-ish) or White Beers

*Holds up a bottle of Glenlivet Scotch to the computer*

"When you die and meet your maker, this is what you'll smell on his breath."

I don't drink that much. If I'm out again I don't have to drink, I love Bulmers of Magers as it is known everywhere else :) I also love Malabu and coke :D hmmm good.

Timothy Taylor's Landlord.
Heh, I have a friend who was named after that.:D

Most types of beer for me (Not Carling, that's just not at all nice)

my fav's whiskey and none of the whisky crap

I'm a fan of anything really. Lager is my main tipple, although being British, I also love my bitter. Vodka, tequila and absinthe... it's all good stuff once you get down to it. And of course, you can't forget gin and whiskey... and red or white wine doesn't go amiss.

But I'm not a heavy drinker. I don't drink all that often, maybe one or two beers a week. It's the parties that I infrequently go that really get me there... but I know the dangers of drink, so I'm careful.

Hey, why no cider?

It's either cider or beer, like bitter. Not filth like Carling or any of "beers", which is probably tramp's wazz in a bottle/can.

hysterion with the absinthe lol. I thyink its been banned in the uk cos it makes you blind. I drink guinness meself or John Smiths. Sometimes ill have a grolsch.

Refined sugar screws with your brain because it gives your brain a load of energy for a short while and then you energy plumets to levels lower than they were before you had some cola. you brain isn't desighned for that kinda crap and it can lead to a lot of problems - so there ;)

Cider is drunken by chavs. Chavs and I do not get on. I rest my case.

Wot, no wine? I much prefer red wine to beer, but then it gives me a mamoth hangover. The darker the alcahol, the worse the next morning will be.

the exception to that rule has to be gin

Gin makes me vomit, as does whisky. Vodka is great though.

My good sir (or madam, it's hard telling the difference with just nation names to go by), you have not encountered the fancy ciders available in your local supermarket. They are prime examples of decent cider. Admittedly, some ciders are mainly consumed by those people known as "chavs", but there are some very nice examples of the fermented apple drink out there, you just have to know where to look. Also, a pint of cider in a pub is hardly "chav-ish", as it costs more than a two-litre bottle of it, most times.

Well i drink Water mostly-mostly.

However Spirits seem to go down fine with me though ive never been plastered really bad.
And have only vommited once.
Though i dont drink much.

Spirits are great.

[ever so slightly off topic]there actually used to be cocaine in coca cola,back before they had the technology to remove it.not anymore though[/back on topic then]

bud is good,so is bulmers.and a bit of vodka now and then is good too,but i prefer beer

I don't like to drink at all. Alcohol tastes like poison to me, probably because it is. I don't have any moral objections to your drunkenness, I would just rather drink some Coca Cola.

and do you know what that Coke it doing to your insides.


I rarely drink any more, maybe a few beers every couple of months.

bud is good,so is bulmers.

bulmers?? it smells, and tastes like feet. ahhh, but to each his own i suppose.....

edit: not that i know what feet taste like, though....

and do you know what that Coke it doing to your insides.

well, it was used to clean artillery so i can't imagine it's all that good. it has phosphoric acid in it which takes out some of the calcium in the bones aswell

It is sir, for the record. Also, it is not only my dislike for chavs and chavettes that makes me regard cidar through tinted glasses, it is also the resultant effects that I have seen of my friends drinking the afore-mentioned 'fancy' cidars.

quite,as i cant stomach whiskey.kinda feels like drinking acid

quite,as i cant stomach whiskey.kinda feels like drinking acid

nicely flavoured acid, though

I'm mostly a beer man myself, yet still young and have many more to try.

Also quite partial to vodka.

Toohey's Old is a good brew, as is Boag's.

Also, the thing that makes Absinthe illegal is the wormwood inside it, which happens to be a hallucinagen. I don't know about the US but in AUS you can get Absinthe without the wormwood which is perfectly legal and happens to be about 70% alcohol or so.

Nasty stuff...

I LOVE the whiskey (earned me more scars than anything else) but the wife doesn't so now I drink snotty beer (Guinness and Red Stripe) and home and whatever is cheapest at the bar (last night the Sierra Nevada keg was skunked so I got to drink for free. It's who you know...)

well, it was used to clean artillery so i can't imagine it's all that good.

So anything that has been used as an industrial cleaner "can't be all that good"? I guess you'll have to give up drinking water.

Mhh.. Just a great cold nice danish Tuborg.. that's best..

Or Vodka 1 to 3 with energizers like hustler or cult...

it was used to clean the rust off it. it can also melt a penny. you know what i mean.....

It is used to clean Blood off the roads after car crashes as well.

I have'nt touched the stuff in 4 years. :)

Ummm...where's wine in the poll? You looking to annoy all the French by not including it?

For me, I enjoy wine when socialising with a small group of friends, and vodka when going out (or socialising with this great Ukranian woman I know). Straight from the freezer into ice-cold shot glasses then down in one gulp is the best way to have it.

Oh, definitely. Do you know what fish do in water?

lol. fish f*ck in water. good point. *makes note to self not to drink water* ;)

Absinthe. Good absinthe, mind. The kind drunk by poor French artists in shady bistros in Paris, just powerful enough to be cool and sexy. Not bad absinthe. The kind drunk by ex-Soviet peasants in rotten shacks in the barren hills of the Czech Republic, just powerful enough to kill you, rape your corpse and sew your skin into a fetching jacket.

Right now it's a Lychee Martini

I love water...

Yep..

Alcohol is good. But water is better.

Alcohol has 7 calories per mL.... just thought i'd throw that out there....or 199 per fl. ounce (for americans)

cheap hard liquor. shots. i figure if i'm gonna punish my body, i may as well start the feeling as it's going down my gullet. it's also a good barometer of when to stop...when you stop feeling the burn, you've had enough. i don't have anything wrong with alcohol/drunkenness at all, i'm just a masochist.

Wine, dry cider and beer (lager)

gin tonic (bombay sapphire), Vodka with cranbery juice or pinkgrapefruit juice

Laphroaig...

With an honorable mention for absinthe. ;)

Mmmmm...wish I could get some of that, for me though as Absinthe is illegal here in the US, I go with Vodka, with a little Sprite for color.

Absinthe is not illegal in the US.

The FDA proscribes its sale and production, but there is no law against importing it for personal consumption.

Thus, you just have to find a reliable European retailer online. It is extremely expensive, however... I generally pay around $90 for a 50cl bottle, with shipping.

I voted for Beer, but I reckon you should have had wine in there too.
