so, what's your favorite type of alcohol?

mine is whiskey, followed closely by mead.

what's yours?

I bathe in champagne morning and night, the bubbles leave a refreshing tingle on the skin and I smell good as well - none of that cheap stuff, only the best for me.

I also wipe my ass with silk, not as effective though - no traction - but I just like to waste money.

Pine cone whisky.

Mainly beer, but cheap whiskey is ok, too.

Vodka and coke.

Poll sucks. No wine. Wine rules.

i guess it is a bit American centered, since the US is a hard liquor and beer drinking nation.

I was in a corner shop once and a couple of winos were in the queue before me buying surgical spirit to drink. Oner of them turned to me and offered me a taste (I was buying beer) saying it was "a real man's drink". Naturally I declined.

I like absinthe, a good gin and tonic or a martini, brandy (particularly Calvados French Apple Brandy), red wine, proper real ale particulalry stouts and porters.

Pine cone whisky.

Is that a brand or, a type of whisky, or a euphemism?

i don't drink (what a party pooper)
Oh gosh, I don't need to disable my brain to have fun, what a party pooper I am; for shame.. I surely must repent my evil ways of actually wanting to remember what I did last night.

Isn't that odd, I've never experienced memory loss from alcohol. Well I must be some kind of medical miracle, because everyone knows that even if you have even the smallest amount of alcohol you'll suffer total amnesia. Oh, and lets not forget that if you do drink, it's because you need to to have fun. You couldn't possibly just enjoy the taste, oh my no.



Isn't this fun?

well, having a few beers won't destroy your memory. It takes, at least for me, about half a handle of whiskey to black out. So you can drink quite a bit without forgetting...

and if you don't drink, you are a party pooper!

and if you don't drink, you are a party pooper!Why?

I think that California is working on turning the tide... although it will take a long time to reach the level (in quantity, quality and variety) of the wine production of France or Italy.

Also, I think that Italy is in the top rankings for hard liquors, mainly grappa and whisky. Yes, we italians like alcohol a lot! :cool: Too bad mead is difficult to come by here.

Why?

'cause you won't be as loosened up as people who are drinking.
Have you been sober while your friends are drinking? It sucks! You don't have to drink to have fun, but if you don't ever drink, then that's just lame! (unless your a recovering alcoholic, then more power to you!)

I've tried wine, and I was not impressed. Maybe I haven't tried the right wines, however.

Mead is kinda hard to find where I am too. i'm thinking of brewing my own ;)

'cause you won't be as loosened up as people who are drinking. I can loosen up perfectly well without altering my brain chemistry; if I want to.

Have you been sober while your friends are drinking?Yes; and a good deal of them thought I was drunk. Heh.

You don't have to drink to have fun, but if you don't ever drink, then that's just lame!I really don't see why that's lame. Having to drink to loosen up sounds like what's lame to me..

i don't have to drink to loosen up, nor do most people i know (well, all people i know actually). drinking just helps. you don't even have to get shit faced when you drink. just kick back, relax, and down a few beers and get buzzed. its all good!

Alcohol always seems to make life far better for a time

1. leave Damor alone, not everyone needs to drinkto have fun. Not everyone needs to drink to have fun at a party with drinkers. He's different to you, but who cares let him be!

2. Trolgaard, scotch is a form of whisky. In case you never bothered to read the next word on the bottle of scotch, as the name 'scotch' is usually followed by 'whisky'. If you were referring jack daniels, wild turkey or jim beam then 'bourbon' would have been appropriate. You moron.

There is no "right" wine. It depends on what you're eating. Anyway, I may suggest you an Asti Spumante DOCG as a light, easy-drinking wine at parties.
Also, wine gets spoiled when transported, so better drink it near the area where it has been made, and at the right temperature.

Yay for homebrewing (not of wine, too complicated)!

hey don't be so mean! i was drunk when i made the poll! cut me some slack!
scotch is a form of whiskey, but is different from regular whiskey (like jack)

Have 10 standards of this and see what I mean, I guarantee it!

haha! still up and still drinking, and no sign of stopping!

*shotguns beer*

so, what's your favorite type of alcohol?

mine is whiskey, followed closely by mead.

what's yours?

So how come mead isn't one of the options? It's my favorite, followed by good beer (Anchor Steam, Newcastle, etc.)

Indeed, we are working on that. Wine should have been on the poll, since it is one of the most common drinks in the world.

there weren't enough options, so I'd thought i put of the most popular drinks

Yes there were. You put whiskey twice and used two options for random jokes.

haha i guess i did...BUT i was drunk when i made the poll, and i'm still drunk

What he said, although all-grain is pretty complex, although I haven't tried wine yet so I'm only half informed.

And as for the poll, Beer, Beer, Beer!

beer is my favorite, wine is nice too.

Chartreuse, followed closely by rum.

And you don't have to be drunk to enjoy a party. -Someone- has to be sober enough to take clear blackmail photos.

MEAD!!!! Our friends brew like maniacs, they just polished off the last of their 'undead' mead - they couldn't kill the damn yeast off, made the bottles pop their tops early, but a very tasty drink. I also like my grandma's plum cordial, and twenty year old dandelion wine, Oberon Ale, and pretty much anything sweet and fizzy.

Where is the "all" option located? I must have missed it.

What kind of booze poll dosent include tequila!? Then again i guess most of you are in Europe somewhere. Betcha don't have many cactus over there.
#1. Tequila... its good for the soul.:cool:

Teetotalers UNITED!

and if you don't drink, you are a party pooper!

I'm too young. I don't think I'd like drinking anyway. The wine at church gave me headaches before.

I like frozen strawberry daiquiris and Bahama Mamas.
