Ok, i could sit here now and have a sensible discussion on whether on not its evil to drink alcohol, and whether it should be banned, and whether the government has the right to make that choice asnyway.

Sadly i've only jsut got up so im not going to.

So, whats everyone favourite type of alcohol and why? (poll comming in just a sec)

I'll go for beer.

Reef. Only REAL men drink Reef. Red berry and kiwi flavour.

Beer=win.

What - no mention of wine in the poll??? :eek:

No-everyone gets enough fucking whine in here.


I said beer,primarily, closely followed by whisky and spiced rum.

A wino in a shop, buying surgical spirit to drink, did try and get me to drink it saying it was "a man's drink". Personally I will stick to real ale, wine, calvados, brandy, and gin and tonic.

Haven't seen any good Chianti on here yet.... :(
Anyway, my next favourite would be whiskey, so there.

Poll should be multichoice, IMO. To every drink, there is a season ;)

Kirschwasser.

Beeeerrrr!!!:)

Who voted for Aftershocks? Ewwww.

Wine, preferably expensive Cabernet Sauvignon from California.

Wheres the all of the above (single glass optional) option?

Lousy poll. Multiple choices needed. Anyway I could use a Negroni right now.

Added. Hereby I say unto all people who want to ban alcohol: "Begone from this plane of existance, thou scion of evil! I ban thee in the name of Bacchus!"

Uhh... a fat chronic blunt?

Is it possible to vote for "anything"?

Would that make us allies? :D

Uhh... a fat chronic blunt?

Can't say I've ever drank one . . . :p

i generally drink beer (as in real ale) when i'm out or double gin and tonic if i've eaten a lot beforehand. with meals i'll usually drink red wine, occaisionally white. if i'm just drinking at home i'd usually have a bottle of wine, a case of beer or i'd drink dark rum, either straight or with crushed ice, lots of limes squeezed in and a dash of cola if i'm feeling frisky.

Would that make us allies? :D

More like "fellow travellers" ;)

Can't say I've ever drank one . . . :p

I think it's like some sort of cocktail, with umm green bits in it?

beer is the official national drink of the Armed Republic of Ashinhurst and Jim Beam Kentucky Whiskey being the national spirit. Alba-Gu-Brah.:upyours:

Travelling with bottles of Chianti... some people might call that smuggling.

I felt like I walked into the wrong thread for a moment.

Allies-maybe. It might make you "dinner" too,though.

EEEWWW!!! NOOOO!!!
Cabernet souvignon is horrid, go for a nice Fitou, or a good spot of chateaux neuf de pap. French wine is by far superior to american. (tho a spot of autralian is usually good cause you can guarentee the quality)

I saw a trick where a guy filled a cup with smoke and 'drank' it.

Apparently, the world judges of wines do not agree with you.

Australian wine is only good for opening the sluice gates at both ends.

I love me some good tequila however rum comes in a close second

I wonder how your first post was...

the same

I admit it I'm a sucker for anything in a snazzy bottle with funky colours (never regretted it though:) )

Though if I have to give a preference I say rum it may smell bad and taste not-so-good but by God if it allows you to talk like a pirate it’s a wonder potion!

Whats that shot with little bits of gold in it that cut your throat on the way down?
Anyone ever done a tequila suicide? (like a tequila slammer, except you put the lemon in your eye, snort the salt and then drink the shot.)

French wines tend to be overpriced. I'll stick to Italian, Austrian and the occasional Spanish or Australian one.

i like south american myslef. or spanish or italian. cheap french wine is pish and i only drink cheap wine. chateaux neuf du pape is fucking great though but i only get it if i steal it from work which i can't get away with often. managed a bottle of expensive champagne last time though, w00t!

yes we do make some good cheap wines

You've got Aftershocks and apple sours on the poll, but NO GIN?!? This poll sucks.

They're not overpriced if you buy them straight from the chateux.

Put my family right out of business... I grew up smuggling wine from Austria to Germany. :D

Im allowed to use any reasons i like, cause its my poll. Hmph.

Hey, no-ones voted for cider!! why has no-one voted for cider??

because the last time I drank cider I was in a cubicle in the ladies room of KFC

edit: now lets never speak of cider again

That's what 'Other' is for.

But why should those ridiculous drinks get their own listing before gin, ffs?

Oh, wait...probably some teenager creating the poll.

i use to like Jim Bean
but after drinking a full bottle to myself with out mixing it with coke
i can no long stand it

Bet if was some horrid cider like strongbow or magners tho. They dont count as cider.

Precicely. I am 19, and therefore aftershocks and apple sours are perfectly acceptable things to drink. (tho why mutlicoloured, vuagely alcoholic bottles of shite are in there instead of gin im sstillas king myself)

It's over-priced piss, IMNSHO, here in the US. I used to buy it once in a while, though, just so I could have the bottles for the beer I brewed myself. Those flip-top things are great for homebrewing.

Flip top? In the UK i can only get it in pints in pubs. No bottles at all. Any its very very very cheap. £1.95 in my local pub.

I brew my own but it's even cheaper in Hungary, 25p a pint and a damn good beer too.

You could get nicely wobbly on a few quid there.

The only Grolsch I've ever seen here is in flip-top bottles. I know they have other bottles, even cans, but I have yet to see them here in the US.

Lol, I tried Delerium Tremens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delirium_Tremens_%28beer%29) last night. Its actually really nice, but not as a beer.

Of course it's Guinness. And of course you'd prefer to get girl-drink drunk (Kids in the Hell ref, for anyone who remembers them).

stella's ok but it's way over-priced. i don't tend to drink lagers except in the summer at bbqs and beach parties and the like.

Yes, but my friends shout at me when i start drinking alone before dinner.... They think i might have an alcohol problem.

I on the other hand dont find it a problem at all.

Anyway, the stella in the cupboard is warm

vodka, neat and straight from the freezer.

If it's good enough for Yeltsin, it's good enough for me.

i've been staring at a litre (well, half a litre now) of rum since this morning but i can't drink it cuz i have an exam tomorrow. it's laughing at me, i can tell. bastard.

If it's good enough for Yeltsin, it's good enough for me.

oh yeh, i forgot about vodka. only usually have it when i come back from jersey cuz i never think to get vodka except from duty free on the plane. got a litre of export strength something or other vodka last time for 8 quid :D. straight from the freezer is the only way to drink it.

ha! i've never climbed arthurs seat yet of my own volition. despite this i've climbed it about 5 times. no way will i climb it in this weather anyway :p

it's my first and last but it's going to be a bad one. i haven't revised because everytime i start i just get confused. theoretically i'm supposed to be working after my exam but my shift starts half an hour before the exam finishes. i haven't got round to phoning up and telling them yet so i reckon i might just not turn up to work.

No, two words: Bloody Mary. :p

Three words. Polish Vodka Jelly.

That was a goooood party. Fancy dress aswell. You should have seen the look on my bosses face (it was his 30'th) when i turned up in a belly dancer costume.

Wait, you really do go to edinburgh? I hadent noticed that! What year are you in? and what subject you doing?

No, two words: Bloody Mary. :p

Best morning drink ever. When I lived in Baltimore, after a long night of drinking on a Saturday night, my mates and I would meet up in a pub at about 10 am and knock back a few Bloody Marys before heading to the Orioles game on Sunday afternoon.

Yep, first year engineering (also known as drinking, as its one of the easiest courses ever)

Why on earth do Aftershock and Apple Sours get their own poll options??

Anyway, I voted other. I like wine and beer about equally, and my liquor of choice recently has been gin.

Wine, preferably expensive Cabernet Sauvignon from California.
Do you like Silver Oak?

No, I don't think gin is too dry. If anything, I find Aftershock and apple sours to be too sweet. Along with all the other alcohol I'm supposed to prefer by virtue of my being female. :rolleyes:

you don't go to 'espionage' do you? everyone goes there seems to drink either apple souz or aftershock, at least they did when i worked there.

if you haven't been i wouldn't recommend it. you might catch something nasty :eek: and the beer's all off cuz they never clean the lines.

for me its Gin.

and copius amounts of it. preferably with lemonade and many slices of lime.

i'm gin soaked most of the time. it is a remedy for any mood or need.


either that or wine. not white thats yuk, rose or red.

but most def gin, gin gin gin gin gin gin gin

Have never been there, am far too lasy to walk that far. We usualy end up in crags, or go all the way to potterow if we are feeling like a long walk. (tho did go down to the cowgate far to often at the begining, the bouncers now know me at siglo....)

Aftershocks are so so so nasty tho. Never drink them. Especially never drink layered aftershocks (a shot of each colour layered one on top of the other. They stay seperate if done properly). They arnt that sweet tho, or at least they flavour covering the sweetness is so strong and revolting you dont notice it.

i went to espionage many moons ago and hated it. its rubbish.

if in edinburgh i think the liquid rooms is ok but i prefer glasgow. its much better for a night out. oh the banter!!

*passes you a Martini*

I still enjoy fruity drinks from time to time. But given the choice between, say, a Guinness and a fuzzy navel, I'll take the Guinness almost every time. Of course, I think fuzzy navels are pretty disgusting so maybe that wasn't such a good example. You get the idea though.

I was in glasgow for the first time last weekend (trampolining competition, v fun), it was ok, but everything is so far apart! Its miles in the cold and wet to get to anything.

i usually end up in medina or po na na. they're my friends' favourite places. i miss proper clubbing though, but there's not many places that are actually any good anymore. crags was great in first year although i was usually too stoned too walk even that far in 1st year. and potterow is great too, but my closest friends all 'grew out' of that pretty soon. they're all a bit too classy for their own good. well, they think they are anyway.

liquid rooms is good for gigs, i saw four tet there and he was awesome.

my flatmate is from glasgow (sort of) and it does sound much better. only been through to glasgow a couple of times though and not for a night out sadly. someday soon hopefully, when i've finished my degree and can afford it.

I love peaches and peach-flavoured stuff, but Fuzzy Navels (peach schnapps and orange juice, for those who don't know) are downright vomitous.

And Guinness? Well, that's the second-best beer on the planet.

Vodka.

Beer is inefficient. You have to drink ass-tons of it to get drunk. And then you feel bloated and fat. Eventually, you become bloated and fat. I don't know why people think it's all that.

Hmm. Never had that one, I'll have to see if I can find it the next time I go to BevMo. Doesn't sound like the sort of thing I'll find in the supermarket.

No it doesn't.

It's like people who think coffee tastes good. It all tastes like crap. You drink coffee for the caffeine, and beer for the minimal amount of alcohol your weakling-flesh can handle.

Personally I prefer rum to the others, but I've always enjoyed a mixture of ALL of the above! Muahahahahahahahaha!

beer is more alcohol for your money when your in a pub or club though. there's (roughly) two units to a pint while there's only one to a single vodka.

There is nothing so divine as chilled Jägermeister.

Maybe with a little coca-cola.

Beer makes me sick in the worst way. I prefer a nice bit of Jameson, or if I'm feeling girly, midori sours.

I'm the first to vote for ciderrrr?!

you've been drinking the wrong kind of coffee and beer then. if i want caffeine i drink red bull or irn bru 32 or i dissolve some 'resolve' in water if i'm feeling shitty as well. if i want to get pissed i drink straight rum from the bottle. if i don't want to get pissed i drink rum and coke (normal measures) cuz it has no noticeable affect on me (after a night on that i don't even want chips). if i want to get gradually pissed while enjoying some good conversation and a pub quiz i'll drink beer.

There is nothing so divine as chilled Jägermeister.

Maybe with a little coca-cola.

ever tried jagermeister, cointreau and a touch of lemonade for fizz? not for the fainthearted, although you need a sweet tooth and obviously a taste for liquorice..

Hmm. Never had that one, I'll have to see if I can find it the next time I go to BevMo. Doesn't sound like the sort of thing I'll find in the supermarket.

No, most likely not, but you should be able to find it in any liquor store that's the size of a grocery store. I was lucky when I lived in Baltimore. There were bars there that had it on tap.

The only thing cointreau should go with is a pint of scrumpy. Seriously. Try it, and you'll love me forever. :)

No, it's not that. I've had many good beers. Even the best is only drunk because 1) it's there, and offered, and/or cheap, 2) it has some alcohol so it can at least help with building a buzz.

Some beers are tastier than others, but really, it's an alcoholic beverage and that is why it's drunk for the most part.

Why drink rum and coke if it doesn't affect you at all? Why not just the coke? It'd be cheaper and wouldn't be contributing to cirrhosis of the liver.

Favorite Drink: vodka and soda, twist of lime

Simple and bitter, like myself, and clear so you don't puke as bad

I was at a frat party not too long ago, and I made some interesting colors. Mix Jager bombs and car bombs (Half pint of Guiness, shot of whiskey and a shot of Bailey's), and you get a lovely pastel.

the glass is for something to hold, the coke is for something to drink, and the rum is to keep me on an even keel.

i'm a functional alcoholic, functional i tell you.

Like BevMo (http://www.bevmo.com/productlist.asp?area=home). I love that store. :D

heh! maybe that's what can get me back on cider. snakebite i can do but not a straight pint of cider. just the smell of it makes me feel queezy.

Well, I like whisky, but I'll admit that I don't have too much experiance with drinking anything of particularly good quality for the others as a result of this countries idiotic and discriminatory drinking laws.

Here's the obvious choice of NS General...

Exactly! Nothing better than filling a shopping cart with booze. Around here, we've got Yankee Spirits (http://www.yankeespirits.com/).

Then try drinking ribena... In harrods... Where they have green carpets.
ROFL. The stain never comes out, they had to replace the carpets on an entire floor because of me.

Hey, you never answered my question (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12084091&postcount=107)!

Do you like Silver Oak?

I prefer Trefethen, the nectar of the gods...

Whats a dojo?

Hey, does anyone else find it a bit odd that the threads on chocolate and alcohol now span more pages than most of the thread that involve thinking and debating about recent issues? Shows how much people really care doesnt it.

They all need a drink anyway.

Eh, I think Trefethen is good but overrated. I went to school with a Trefethen, interestingly enough.

Nope, not odd at all. Spam threads around here often get much larger than debate threads.

I dont know what your talking about :(

Its not really that much of a spam thread, its an honest debate about which alcohol is best. It just happens to be not quite as serious as some of the other threads out there.

I voted wrong. =( Meant to hit tequila and hit vodka instead, but didn't realize it until I clicked.

=*(

Tequila > Vodka!

I dont know what your talking about :(

There's a thread about Richard Dawkins that has a much higher post count.

Other? Where's the "All" option?

I really should have made it possible to multi-vote shouldnt i?

Ok, so I was wasted, and people kept handing me drinks left and right, and then someone gave me something called a Pearl Harbor..

I think I liked it. *nods*

Tasted like apples.

What's in that? Anyone know?

Yes. Ben Affleck is the debbil.

Its not that thats the worrying version of what it could mean.......
Tho ben affleck is quite scary.

Even though I don't turn 21 for another 10.2 hours, I've imbibed the glorious drink known as beer in copious amounts.

Dont worry, that means you still have 34.2 hours left to continue drinking it.

the option for "I don't drink alcohol" is where?

I like both beer and whiskey muchly and rarely imbibe large amounts of one without the other. Why must you make me choose? :(

i went to school with a smirnoff once. but i got caught and nearly suspended. bastards wouldn't give it back at the end of the day either.

Whiskey is my poison, at least since I've laid off the Vodka...

Oh? Do tell!

It's not right to make me choose. It's like having to choose between one's children. Beer is delightful, Tequila is rugged and independent, Vodka is so friendly that it gets along with juices, selzer, tonic, and flavored sodas. I don't know, I'll vote vodka.

Oh? Do tell!

Well, it all happened one night at potterow.
It was the sport unions night, and i expected there to be a huge que to get in as there are ltos of societies, so i bought a bottle of whiskey to drink in the que.
Sadly there wasnt a que, and the bouncers wouldnt let me take in the whiskey. So me and danny (a friend) sat on the wall outside and drank the bottle. We then went in and drank several pints of something that was probably stella (it was getting a little hazy by then).
We then met up with/fell on several other friends and went and joined the trampolining club, where i may have tried (successfully) to pull the 24 year old social organiser. I then proceded to fall over a lot, creating many embarassing photos of me and danny lying on the floor together. I then also told my ex that i still loved him (he doesnt still love me it seems). I then stumbled home somehow and thought it was a great idea to invite spyros up to my room at half 3 in the morning, and he (being the manwhore he is) agreed.

There was then much pointing and laughing the next morning.

Whisky (The Water Of Life) does it for me.
William Grants make a nice everyday blend.
But I've only been drinking it (legally in the UK) for about 24 years. So I'm only a beginner at the whisky game.

Oooh, does that mean it was your 18th yesterday then? Happy birthday for yesterday.

Eight hours...

Oh to be 18 again. Not that I remember much about being 18. Time and whisky dims the old memory banks.

The arrival of the age of one and twenty. It's gonna be amazing.

Well, not really, not all that different from all of my previous adventures in underage drinking, but this time without the fears of being hauled off by the cops.

Wait a sec, me have nothing better to do, friends have nothing better to do, am a student....

Bye bye everyone. Im off to the pub.

Never tastes as good once it's legal. I should know; turned 18 this summer. :p

Booze good.

Beer or red wine would be my choice of tipple.
