Im a Vodka FIEEND!!!!

Choose your favourite sort of drink, and specify if you want to.

Vodka is my favourite from the list...

But until you've tasted a Purple Haze cocktail constructed from a shot of Red Aftershock and a shot of Blue Aftershock you haven't...

Well...

Lets simply say, the effects vary. I couldn't even say ..."lived".

Vodka.

It's the best pure and it's the best to mix.

Vodka from the list, but I also really like scotch and sake. Good whiskey is very nice, too.

Vodka is crap.

There are too many good alcohols out there...


As much as I like my beer, sometimes I'm in the mood for liquor... if I'm making drinks at home usually it's a southern comfort and a coke or a rum and coke or a sambuca and coke. If I go to a bar I usually get amaretto sours or whiskey sours... and cream liqueurs are always delicious as well... mmm...

At any rate, alcohol is good.

But I'm not a huge fan of vodka.

Vodka is crap.

You say that because you have to puke when you drink it pure. Face it, you're not man enough to drink it.

I don't puke when I drink it, I just don't like the taste and it doesn't mix well or chase well...

Vodka, definitely. It's the only thing that I have found that I can drink, get really plastered, and not have a hangover the next day. If I were to rank the vodkas that I have had, they would be:

1. Zolotoye Krug
2. Stolichnaya Kristaal
3. Ketel One
4. Absolut
5. Stolichnaya
6. Smirnoff
7. Popov
8. Dark Eyes

Of course, I have yet to try Skyy, Grey Goose, or Kalashnikov, but one of these days...

Bourbon, baby.

personally I will drink anything baring urine though I tend to avoid vodka because it has become so what of a kiddies drink in my opinion (messed up I know)

All in all get me a six pack of ice cold beer and I will be happy

I don't puke when I drink it, I just don't like the taste and it doesn't mix well or chase well...

I wasn't quoting you, but fine....

And if you say it doesn't mix well I wonder what you've been mixing it with. Water?

I don't puke when I drink it, I just don't like the taste and it doesn't mix well or chase well...

Aw you don't like the taste. Maybe you'd prefer a Big Fruity Girl Drink? :p

You say that because you have to puke when you drink it pure. Face it, you're not man enough to drink it.

When did enjoying oneself become a test of manliness? Vodka is simply water and ethanol, there's nothing enjoyable about the taste unless mixed with a drink that has flavor. In which case, that would be one's favorite drink and not the vodka. Not only that, but it dilutes whatever you mix it with, much like ice.

Indeed, especially in cleaning solutions, drugs, and explosives.

Go to a small back-water polish village. Drink some of their home-made vodka.
Then come back and tell me if you still think vodka is a kiddies drink.

Of course, there's always this article (http://www.ohmygoditburns.com/wordpress/index.php?p=4) on how to turn nasty vodka into good vodka using a Brita water filter.

Beer ... the only thing i hate at it is my belly and that i have to piss every 30 minutes

Drink antifreeze. Then tell me if you think it's a kiddie's drink.

Aw you don't like the taste. Maybe you'd prefer a Big Fruity Girl Drink? :p
I'd prefer a manly drink that has a taste... ;)

Vodka is OK neat or with orange, but give me something with a proper taste any day - single malt scotch or a nice ale.

had shifty Russian bar vodka does that count? its not a matter of strength its a matter of who drinks it i.e. the unemployed, underage drinkers, people out to get pissed more than have fun (2 of which I am)

Been there, done that.

Vodka has a taste, it's just most people's taste buds are too weak to detect it!

Jack Daniels mixed with Coke (the drink, that is) with a nice Cuban cigar. Nothing beats that.

As for vodka, I don't mind it, but it ruins the taste of orange juice if you mix it, I find.

I wasn't quoting you, but fine....

And if you say it doesn't mix well I wonder what you've been mixing it with. Water?
I've tried mixing it with v8 and tobasco (sorta like a caesar) and orange juice...

And I know you weren't quoting me but I was just saying that I don't like vodka either and it's not a matter of not being able to handle it. Perhaps the other person was the same.

Oh, although vanilla vodka mixes alright with coke and some of the fruit flavoured ones mix well with fruit juices.

Aw you don't like the taste. Maybe you'd prefer a Big Fruity Girl Drink? :p
Well, I am a girl.

I love beer more than any on that list, although if I'm going out to get pissed I'll get on the vodka mixers. I like the severe lack of hangovers I get from it - well that and another drink that's also a bit of a woman's drink *cough*Gin and Tonic*cough*

Well, I am a girl.

Oh. Well in that case, lets have a rum and coke at my place. :drunken leer:

Vodka has a taste, it's just most people's taste buds are too weak to detect it!
:D Fair enough. I'm not sure I agree, but that's a weird enough answer for me to let you have this one.

The only word for vodka is "lousy"

I like scotch malt whisky, port, sherry, wine, good rum, good beer.

Vodka has a taste, it's just most people's taste buds are too weak to detect it!
You're right vodka does have a taste. A bad one.

Oh. Well in that case, lets have a rum and coke at my place. :drunken leer:
mmm... I like rum and cokes.

Not as much as amaretto sours though. It's like sour cherries.

It certainly has a taste, just not a good one, like good liquor does.

:D Fair enough. I'm not sure I agree, but that's a weird enough answer for me to let you have this one.

Vodka: Puts hair on your taste buds. :D

You're right vodka does have a taste. A bad one.

I suppose you don't like antifreeze either? :(

mmm... I like rum and cokes.

Honestly, who DOESNT like rum and coke? It's like can-shaped cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving!

Vodka from the list, but I also really like scotch and sake. Good whiskey is very nice, too.
erm....scotch is whiskey...

and tribes, hold your head high with the gin and tonics...over here, they are more of an "old man" drink. I don't think I've ever seen a girl with one.

If you water down spiritus, the uber 1337 master of all Alcohol, what do you get? Correct: pure vodka.

We can conclude from this that eveything other than vodka is for pussies who are too afraid to grow a beard like Chuck Norris. That's all for today students.

WRATH! Scotch is whisky, not whiskEy.

I like G&T though.

So...I'm not a woman, I'm an incontinent old man?

Ah well, at least I'm not getting malaria any time soon.

whisky and whiskey are the same thing...most scotch spells it whisky, but not all. It is still the same liquor. The only difference between blended, bourbon, irish, and scotch is the location made, and therefore, the water.

Ah well, at least I'm not getting malaria any time soon.haha...yep, now get a rifle, sit on the porch with your german shepard, in a rocking chair, and talk about the war all the time.

If you mix Newcastle Brown and Southern comfort, the vomit is chocolate brown.

[FACT!]

I chose vodka, vodka is your friend. Had this green apple martini vodka when i was camping, it was in a thin bottle with the name going sideways. It was very good.

In second place is whiskey! I discovered that those statues in the den werent just statues.. They had the best whiskey in em. They were older than me, older than my 21 year old brother too i bet..

In third place we have *drum roll* Tanqueray! I have never gotten so drunk on any thing else.. Drank half the bottle with jones soda and it told me to start drinking the fourth placer.. http://www.strangecosmos.com/images/content/105352.jpg *giggles*

Rum! *bows to Capt. Morgan* I got very drunk one night and decided that it would be best to mix Jeger, CM, vodka, whiskey, and I thnik schnopps in an iced tea carton.. Good times!

Fifth Schnopps, oh my the flavors! nuff said. *fluffles peach*

Sixth is lager, Yuengling lager. Im sure you never heard of them..

Now if you will excuse me, time for AA.

Been there, done that.

If you're so hardcore, why don't you just drink pure alcohol instead of vodka, which is partially diluted by water?

That was a tough one! I was torn between beer & vodka but, in the end, beer got my vote!!! In truth, they swap off between first & second place, depending on my mood!

whisky is american

whiskey is real stuff

scotch is made differently

Its easy to save money and make vodka at home.

Get some water and put rubbing alcohol in it, diluted to whatever strength you like, then spray hairspray on the top and shake it.

If you want to make fancy vodka, put that mixture through a brita filter.

If you're so hardcore, why don't you just drink pure alcohol instead of vodka, which is partially diluted by water?

Even though I like it, I can't afford the continueous stream of hostipal bills I would get from it. Also, ensurance companies don't like it when you do it.

Meh. Until you have drank pure ethanol straight from the test tube you just made it in, you haven't lived...

Grey Goose is awesome!!! Ranks up there with Ketel One!

Whisky is not made in america.

Whiskey is, and what you mean by "the real stuff" is unclear.

Scotch is whisky made in scotland.

Dont post nonsense.

You have to visit the hospital after drinking pure ethanol? Pfft, you're not man enough. Get out of my sight.

I swear I've made this same argument atleast three times on this forum...

Whiskey and whisky are the same thing. It is broken into four types: Irish, like jamesons; Scotch, like Chivas; Bourbon, like Wild Turkey (also includes Jack Daniels, although that is technically not bourbon); and Blended, like Canada Club.

Look at the lable on the bottle. They are all scotch. Don't believe me? Look it up. Additionally, scotch is spelled without the "e" in general. Only cheap knockoffs have the "e".

eta: The only difference between "whisky" and "whiskey" is the spelling. It is out of tradition, and does not imply any difference in the liquor itself.

You have to visit the hospital after drinking pure ethanol? Pfft, you're not man enough. Get out of my sight.

Well, anyone can take one single shot like you. Only drinking several gallons and paying a quick visit to the local hospital to get your blood cleansed makes you a true man. Or woman.

A woman with lots of facial hair that is.

Merghaflergihn!

I swear I saw this on history channel.

You know how champagne is made in France? Well they can only call it champagne. Nowhere else can, so Amerca makes it, calls it something else..

Whiskey is made in Ireland or whatever. Whisky, Amreica.

Make sense?

Am I correct?

And the scotch thing, I was wrong :( sowwie.

Yes. You are correct. And I think it is total crap, since everyone knows everything should be named after Chuck Norris.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky

Irish and US whiskey is spelt with the E; Scotch whisky is spelt without. There are a few exceptions in the US or Ireland, perhaps, but not in Scotland AFAIK.

The method is definitely not the same. There are rules as to how Scotch can be made. It has to be aged in oak casks, in Scotland for at least 3 years. American bourbon whiskey has to be made with at least 50% corn. There are many other stipulations that must be met before something can be called "whisky", or "whiskey" or any subtype thereof. It is not just a matter of water.

I'm a bartender.
Whiskey is made in Canada if it is blended, bourbon region of America if it is Bourbon, Ireland if it is Irish, and Scotland if it is scotch. It is spelled Whisky only if it is a true scotch.

"champagne" made in america is called sparkling wine. Same with cognac/brandy, bourbon/tennessee whiskey (jack daniels), and quite a few other liquors.

okay, that first part is exactly what I said. there are exceptions within scotland for some brands which are just cheap well liquors.

the general method for making all whiskey/whisky is the same. Yes, there are differences, but they are still all whiskeys.

You have not put rum on your list...
I'm boycotting this poll. :p

:eek: Indeed.

Oh, also, there are various types of Scotch - Single Malt, the bestest, vatted malt, which is a blend of various Single Malts, Blended, which contains a mix of grain and malt whisky, and single grain, which is, well, not commonly found, because it's a bit unremarkable.

The term "Scotch Whisky" is legally protected, just like "Champagne" "Kentucky Bourbon" and "Camembert", so unless it meets the criteria to be called Scotch, it ain't Scotch, however similar it might be.

must be a minimum of four years old total, and aged in Scotland for three years
smoky flavor from ingredients that are dried over eat moss fires

Bourbon Whiskey
Made in Bourbon County, Kentucky
Must contain 51% corn or sour mash and aged for atleast 4 years in brand new charred oak barrels

Blended Whiskey
several grains are used in the distillation process
contains atleast two of the following: rye, wheat, oats, or barley
Usually made in the US or Canada
Light flavor and at least 80 proof
must age at least three years

Irish Whiskey
Always produced in Ireland
Dstilled from Barley and other grains, ingredients dried over coal fires
always 86 proof

Chuck Norris doesn't get his blood cleansed. His blood cleanses. Unfortunately, his blood has never been spilt.

Almost 3 times as many vodka as whisky fans? Pathetic!

Tasteful forumites, vote!

I voted beer, but whisky is the close second. I actually just finished off a bottle of Jamesons. mmm...

I'll bet that most people who voted for Vodka were minors who have never tasted the stuff.

Congrats, you have confused me. :upyours:

The first part responds to the first part of the quote, the second to the second part.

You're right, except you left "teetotalers" off the end.

Remember, muslim terrorists dont drink alcohol. Neither did Hitler.

Irish whiskey. Then beer.

Actually, they're both on par. I generally alternate with whichever is the appetiser. :D

A friend of mine used to make a drink for me at parties. I didn't know what was in it or what it was called, it was just blue-so I called it Crazy Blue Stuff and drank it until I was the cleverest person I knew...

Good man.

My room reeks of booze right now...we killed 4 things of Jamesons, 2 Johnnie Walkers, 2 Baileys, a couple 4's of Guinness, and a couple 6's of Killians.
God I love St. Patricks Day in Boston.
