whats your favourite liquor? And please no one say beer.

Vodka, as it mixes so well with anything.

Bourbon whiskey.

I've had more than enough bad experiences with liquor to loathe them all, preferring to stick to beer and wine for inebriation. However, if forced to choose, I would go for vodka.

Does "liquor" mean spirits?

One of many words for it, yes. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_beverage)

Actually, now it's been mentioned I'm tempted to change to gin - it's not as versatile but G&T is a damn fine drink.

but beer and wine take forever. just saying.

Pffft. As if there’s any competition.

Whiskey.

And real single-malt whiskey (or ‘Scotch’...), none of this bourbon nonsense.

A wee dram of Cragganmore or Laphroaig please barman. Slainte Mhath!

vodka because you can put it in a water bottle and drink it anywhere

except your car.

I am mildly offended that tequila is not in the poll. That happens to be my favorite.
Can't mods edit polls?

Well, yeah, but it also tends to be more prolonged and it's very difficult to pass out. Plus, hangovers are virtually nonexistent.

I knew I was missing something! Thanks for reminding me, I'm sorry I forgot. If you don't mind, could you use your awesome mod powers and put it in there?

edit: Thanks :)

Really? Because I always found beer and wine were the surest way to a hangover. Because with liquor I drank other stuff with it like juice or soda, cuts down on the dehydration.

I voted moonshine, just because. If I made a habit of drinking, I'd probably cultivate a taste for brandy, or possibly scotch.

Whisky.

Or brandy.

Or good rum.

Depends on the situation, I suppose.

Rum. Though whiskey is good too.

Scotch Whiskey.

Whiskey!

With good old 'shine coming in second! (moonshine)

mostly because I've been drinking it all last week

Whisky = Scotch

WhiskEy = Irish


...with just a couple of exceptions...
But scotch whisky.. that is, the stuff from Scotland... is always whisky and not whiskEy. (And that includes Cragganmore and Laphroaig... good stuff, btw)..

Pffft. As if there’s any competition.

And real single-malt whiskey (or ‘Scotch’...), none of this bourbon nonsense.

Whiskey is Irish and therefore not Scotch

Edit : Damn beaten to it

Bugger off and buy your own! I'm keeping mine all for myself.

I swear, I'd be the worst barman in the world. :p

Good man. Similarly, American whiskey and Canadian and Japanese whisky.

Okay, now I'm sure I know the plan. You're gradually constructing a comprehensive database of all aspects of NSers behaviour and preferences which you're selling bit by bit to the government.

Good old tanglefoot Moonshine, when I can find it. Makes the annual trip to Kentucky worthwhile.

but beer and wine take forever. just saying.

Only if you drink to get plastered. I drink more to get buzzed bring on a feeling of jollity.

My favorite, mead, is not included in this poll.

However, vodka mixes well with just about anything, so that.

I prefer beer to hard liquor though.

Hey, I thought you were supposed to be a muslim?

Wine and hard apple cider are pretty much all I'm drinking for now on. After a bout of parties and being able to stomach anything, all of the sudden I can't put down anything that isn't made out of grapes or apples. Mildly depressing, but wine Beirut might be fun.

as my friends know me for saying this:

"mmmmm rum!"

Whisky = Scotch

WhiskEy = Irish

Whiskey is Irish and therefore not Scotch
Oops.

I might not know how to spell it, but (I like to think) I know a good dram when it hits my nose/tongue.

Bugger off and buy your own! I’m keeping mine all for myself.
Greedy bugger. :p

That’s one of the reasons I enjoy being a Scot; even the shittiest pubs have a good stock of uisge beatha.

Well, yeah, but it also tends to be more prolonged and it's very difficult to pass out. Plus, hangovers are virtually nonexistent.I always get hangovers from beer, that is why I like to go straight to the vodka.

moonshine, wtf?!?

I have Vodka and coke.

whisky whiskey and vodka are all up there

Small batch bourbon, single malt scotch, aged West Indian rum, calvados.

Tequila is a fine second choice... better for mixing than many realize.

whats your favourite liquor? And please no one say beer.

Flavored vodka. Love the bite, love the taste.

I've only ever had Sauza Gold, and I've only ever had it straight, but it's much too coarse for my liking.

Me and Mr Tequila don't get along so well anymore.



Vodka is probably the spirit I drink the most of.

Of choices given, had to take whiskey.

Of course, i'm not limited to that.
Also sake, Fire Water (lotsa schnapps), port, cognac, merlot, framboise, pinot noir, zinfandel (to chase the Fire Water of course) ... of course, gotta know what not to mix in what settings. *retches at memory*

Bénédictine! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bénédictine)

Monks know where it's at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Burana).

Two turntables and a microphone? o.0

Oh yeah, i remember now. When "Perry Farrell" was of spinning vinyl and such at Bar Mitzvah.
WooT!

I never drink any of the beverages in the poll straight, but I dearly love a good margarita, so I went with tequila.

Despite sampling none of those choices, I do have a reasonably full liquor cabinet - it's just full of girly things. I've got Bailey's (regular and chocolate mint), amaretto, Kahlua, creme de cacao, creme de menthe, peach schnapps, Kirschwasser, and I used to have some blackberry schnapps until earlier this evening. :) Yum.

whats your favourite liquor? And please no one say beer.

Scotch with a cigar, Jaeger at the bar, and sherry for conversation. But these are just favorites; not indicative of all possibilities, which depends entirely on the company and the situation. For instance, I am apt to switch the Scotch with a cognac, depending on how pleasant or understanding I am required to be. Scotch is more social and friendly; cognac exudes a more refined air of formality.

I always get hangovers from beer, that is why I like to go straight to the vodka.

And I never get hangovers from vodka, which is why that's the only hard liquor I'll ever consider drinking...

Vodka, without further adds. The taste is horrible, so that I'm almost sure I will never get addicted to it, and has a nice, immediate warming effect without drinking excessive quantities.
By the way, at first I thought that with "liquor" you meant "cerebrospinal fluid" :D

My current favourite is Absinthe. Followed by, in order of preference:

Gin
Calvados (apple brandy)
Brandy
Whiskey (I prefer Irish to Scottish Whisky)


...and whoever said Benedictine that is a liqueur not a liquor - it has added sugar.

Currently, Gin.


Gin and Tonics with Dry Martinis ftw.

*high fives*

Damn straight.

Captain Morgan or a sip of Dalwhinnie.

I especially like the peaty whiskeys like Talisker or Laphroigh

The Dalwhinnie is not bad for a fruity-flowery-happy-slappy-girly whiskey ;)

I’d agree heartily, though I’m a big fan of the Speyside malts as well.

I'm thinking rum, although whiskey and gin are both potential choices...hmmmmm...

I've only ever had Sauza Gold, and I've only ever had it straight, but it's much too coarse for my liking.

I actually prefer it straight. But then I'm crazy, so take that for what it's worth.

Most people don't get along with tequila. There's no shame in it.

1800's the good stuff. Most tequilas I'd prefer not to drink straight, but 1800 is really, really smooth.

Patron is quite smooth as well, if you can afford it. That stuff's pretty pricey.

See, I can't. Never have tried it. ;)

I've heard good things though.

Blackberry Brandy followed by high quality Vodka

Probably gin, but then there's nothing wrong with a fine brandy, either.

Absinthe.
