Yeah , you drink at your own pace.. you can only really enjoy a alcohol buzz when you control the buzz. .. You don't drink fast.. etc. you drink and feel the buzz. That's it. Might have to throw a shot in there .. like a boilermaker. .. but its still your call.

Honestly the only time I get to drink anymore is a few hours before I go to bed. So I can go a little crazy and not be hungover the next day. (my habits before I had two jobs and got married were a little bad).

Me too.

But as they say "friends don't let friends post drunk".


..but I don't have friends so....

Well then , you are cut off. You got a nice buzz. Now you go lay down or eat.

Well children (Fallout reference) it is time for me to step out of the office.

I had a steak, I'm entitled to my *hic* drink *hic* you hear?

Love is a Battlefield!

/y'all so cool ...

I had a steak, I'm entitled to my *hic* drink *hic* you hear?

I hear ya.

When the buzz gone the food is on! But I try to not eat for at least a few hours before I drink.

Intensifies my drink.

I hear ya.

Actually I'm entitled to my drink because I enjoy self-intoxication, and I manage not to be a total screw up even when I'm blasted.

So :P

When the buzz gone the food is on! But I try to not eat for at least a few hours before I drink.

That's stupid.

Unless you're super poor and can't afford to drink, and need to maximise your buzz.

I drink with my meals, and then continue on afterwards. Gives you more stamina, and helps you not end up hungover as all hell the next day.

That whole 'not eating before drinking' thing I got over when I was like 17. :p

love y'all! =) for real

I have learned to always eat right before. It may not sound like a good idea right now, but you'll thank me in the morning.

You can never be too poor to afford to drink when a 1/5 of vodka is only 5.20 at the liquor store. Or when a case of miller high life is onlu 11.99. I mean its not the good stuff but its affordable on any budget.

I also cant eat right before.. I have to have eaten, but not be filled. then I can drink.

heh, I understand where your coming from. but I have never ate with my drink. No way.

How old are you?

Nothing like wine with food, or beer and bar fare...and this might also explain why I can generally outdrink most people. I drink with endurance in mind, not just reaching short periods of intoxication followed by vomitting and passing out.

I have had to do it that way since I got alcohol poisoning. Which is never fun.

I didnt have to be hospitalized or anything, but I didn't do much of anything but lay in bed for 32 hours afterwards.

72 hours here. I had to quit a job because I just honestly couldn't make it into work I was so sick. Had my roomates really scared.

Na, not into that anymore, fo sure.

34 you know I'm older than you. I wasn't putting your way down. Drink wine and be merry! Gin and be happy!. I'm sorry if I came off hostile. Wasn't meaning to be.

You cool. All ya'll cool.

Agreed. I can't have wine at all unless with some sort of hors d'oeuvres or dinner. I can outdrink a lot of people as well. Food makes all the difference between waking up the next morning feeling like a million bucks or huggin the toilet. Endurance is always the key.

No no, I wasn't suggesting you were being hostile, I just don't know many people my own age who do the whole 'no eating before drinking' thing...that's something I remember from when I was a teenager. And no, I didn't know you were older than me, though it's not by much :P

Whatever, I mean, it's up to you, I just find it makes me too damn sick.

That sucks. I missed the following day of work, but it happened on new years eve so my employers at the time were a little more leaniant on me missing new years day due to a hangover. (I never told them it was poisoning, just a horrible hangover with vomiting.)

My dad is the same way.. once we start drinking there is no eating.. until we stop drinking. I have never mixed pizza and beer or whatever. It's seperate.

I gave up drinking for a long time because I couldn't stand the hangovers.

So now, everything I do while drinking is to avoid those hangovers. Lots of water, food, whatever...so I can drink like a fish and not die the next day.

Though I doubt my liver is happy either way. S'okay...when I get a hole in my liver, I'll put a rye glass in it.

Whatever, I mean, it's up to you, I just find it makes me too damn sick.


It makes me sick too. I have been sticking to my eating while drinking scheme since the age of 19 and its been 7 years of hangover free (well maybe with the exception of a few nights) fun.

Although when I hit it hard, even without a hangover I find the next day I'm just dumb. I hate that mental hangover.

Hangovers are the worst. And I dont miss them at all. I gave up drinking for a year because of hangovers.

Pizza and Beer is an american staple...what are you communist? :tongue:

I rarely get that. (Unless I do some serious drinking, Holidays mostly anymore.)



I just drink until i get a buzz anymore and stop there until it subsides.

:tongue:
My not eating thing , isn't necessarily cause my dad did it, but I've come to learn it or whatever myself. How or why am I gonna go start drinking when im on a full belly? No.. sorry. If I started drinking after I ate I would only get sick. I wait or try to wait a decent amount of time, then I drink.

oh my god that sounded crazy..

Ok.. I eat.. then later iun the day I might feel like drinking.. so later in that day.. instead of eating my supper.. I choose to drink. I've ate my breakfast and lunch.

Ugh, I hate hangovers. They ruin my day. Usually I try to drink smart and not have too much at once, but sometimes I'm stupid and then the next day sucks.

The worst mistake I ever made was taking three excedrin for a really bad hangover. I puked up a lot of the water I'd been drinking and then by the time I got to the toilet, I was vomiting blood. It was scary.

I never vomited blood but I had a bad experience whil taking aspirin for a hangover. The best thing for a hangover honestly is a cold beer in the morning or a glass of OJ. Worked best for me at least.

I'll drink just about anything so long as it isn't light beer. Preference wise, I'm a fan of White Russians and Jack & Coke. Tend to drink them both like liquid candy.

Hell yes. Very christmassy drink, too. Get some vodka plus tia maria or Kahlua (sp?), as well as some milk and cream, as well as a sprinkle of brown sugar, mix, neck.

I don't believe I have ever had a white russian. Am I missing something?

If you like sweet drinks & Liqueurs then you're missing out on an oral orgasm. Like Yoo said, just get some Kahlua, Vodka, and Milk. In an 8 ounce glass (with ice) it's Kahlua like 3/8, Vodka for 2/8, and then fill the rest with Milk.

Oral Orgasm... er Oralgasm... yeah... Oralgasm.

I prefer 3/8 vodka and 2/8 Kahlua myself, but aye. Oh and try it with cream some time - very, very tasty.

151 anyone? Shots of that and you're done quick.

For some reason, orgasm takes some of the edge off the headache.

I will get the ingredients for X-mas. Im excited to try one.

In the mean time i'm drinking a 22 of Blue Bull (I only had 3 bucks and needed to get something)

Sex works too.

Guinness or a 10+ year old single malt scotch. Everything else is a wannabe.

American Beer in particular is like making love in a canoe. - its fucking close to water.

Has anyone stooped so low (or in my case been so broke) to drink malt liquor, if so which one is your favorite?

Mine is Schlitz. (when you want to get drunk and only have 3 bucks you cant go wrong with 2 22's of schlitz)

I thought this was interesting...


Myth #1: The Guinness served in Ireland is different to the rest of the world
Actually, the Guinness served in Ireland is most likely the same as that served in Boston or Berlin. However, many people will attest that Guinness simply tastes better in Ireland, which is why the myth spread. There’s a certain amount of sentimentality in this myth, but when you dig into it, most of the reasoning is pretty circumstantial.

There are a few reasons why it may taste better in Ireland - most likely freshness and rapid keg turnover (a pub in Dublin will serve the freshest Guinness in the world) - but the actual product is not any different that the black stuff served around the world. Also, a Guinness drinker in Ireland is guaranteed to have their drink poured correctly in Ireland than in some parts of the world, which will have an impact on the quality of the experience.



Myth #2: Lite beers will help you lose weight
On average, a lite beer will have 90-100 calories, while a regular beer might have under 200. In the grand scheme of things, lite beers will contribute very little to your dietary goals, and considering their typical lack of taste, you’d be better off drinking one or two regular beers.



Myth #3: Dark beers are stronger in alcohol
The color of beer has no relation to its alcohol content. For example, Guinness, one of the most popular dark beers has an alcohol volume of 4.2%, while several light-colored Belgian beers have alcohol content of 8%+.



Myth #4: Corona beer contains urine
This was a nasty rumor claiming that Mexican brewery workers were relieving themselves into the beer. Allegedly, the rumor was spread by a Heineken distributor and was only refuted following a lawsuit by Corona.



Myth #5: Imported beers are stronger than American beers
Traditionally, American beers measure their alcohol content by weight, while many other countries (across Europe and in Canada) measure by volume. The alcohol by weight figure will always appear lower than the alcohol by volume - for example, 4% ABW = 5% ABV, hence the myth creation.



Myth #6: Beer should be served ice-cold for best flavor
This is an unfortunate myth perpetuated by the major commercial breweries - especially for their lite beers. The fact is, flavor typically diminishes when beer is served ice-cold. It may make for a thirst-quenching, refreshing beverage, but often bears little resemblance to traditional beer. Several beers are, in fact, best served much closer to room temperature or slightly cool and are considered undrinkable when icy cold - such as Guinness and many of the traditional English ales.



Myth #7: The best beers have green bottles
Another myth that circulated imported beers. Brown glass is the best color to protect beer from light, which is why most beers are bottled with it. A shortage of brown glass in Europe during the last century led to many breweries using green glass to bottle their beer - therefore, green bottles represented imported beer for many years and people incorrectly assumed the color indicated a better beer.



Myth #8: “Beer before liquor, never sicker - liquor before beer, in the clear”
This is common drinking advice shared but not scientifically true. In reality, alcohol is alcohol, and the overall quantity you imbibe will determine your resulting (in)sobriety or hangover. Drinking beer before drinking liquor may prolong the onset of inebriation, which sometimes misleads people to thinking that it is the order of the drinks that caused the problem. On the other hand, a heady mix of cocktails and liquor is likely to upset your stomach.



Myth #9: You can’t get a hangover from drinking organic beer
If only being eco-friendly was this rewarding! This myth is based on the idea that organic beer is cleaner or purer than other beer, but there’s no existing proof that it manages to avoid giving hangovers when consumed in sufficient quantities.



Myth #10: Beer will raise your cholesterol levels
Beer actually contains no fat and no cholesterol! Perhaps this is one reason that Guinness was originally advertised as good for your health.



Myth #11: A good beer must be high in alcohol
Many people unfairly associate low alcohol with low flavor. There are plenty of poor quality beers that are high in alcohol content, and the opposite is also true. Some of the famous Belgian and German beers have traditionally high average alcohol content - perhaps 8% or 10%. However, the alcohol content is only one feature and doesn’t necessarily account for the good taste. In England, many of the best mild ales have alcohol content of 4% or less - resulting from a higher tax on stronger beer. Of course, the advantage is finding good-tasting, lower alcohol beers is that you can drink more of it!



Myth #12: Beer kills brain cells
Possibly the most damning of all beer myths , and we’re happy to explode this for you. An Australian study have determined that alcohol is beer is not responsible for killing brain cells as was once thought.

Do you hear that ladies and gents? beer does NOT kill brain cells.

I have a question for NSG, and i figured this thread was the best place to ask it.

Today I purchased a bottle of ginger flavored brandy, while it tastes nice enough on its own do the drinkers of NSG have any recommended mixers? One idea I had was combining it with seltzer water (and maybe some simple syrup) to make a kick ass ginger ale.

A very clean vodka.

Does anyone else here like heineken? I find it a little overrated.

For some reason, orgasm takes some of the edge off the headache.

No, no good. I'll admit, there are even good biochemical reasons to think this would work, but I've tried it many times and it's never made me feel any better.

It's a very close call for me; I'd have to give a top five. In no particular order:

Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout (Colorado - U.S.)
Great Divide Old Ruffian Barleywine (Colorado - U.S.)
Gouden Carolus Grand Cru of the Emperor (Belgium)
Breckenridge 471 Small Batch IPA (Colorado - U.S.)
New Holland Existential Ale (Michigan - U.S.)

I thought it was Miller High Life that tasted like that.

I've drank a lot of Belgian beers, and I have to agree. The 2007 was the beer I drank the day I took my last college final. I'm a big Chimay fan and I love the tradition of the Trappist beers, but I've never had any Belgian ale that competes with the GCGCotE '07 for pure flavor. I'd love to get another '07 or '08 to age until my JD graduation.

To answer your other question, Heineken is definitely terrible. No better than any other cheap lager, and a lot more hyped up.

Chimay is okay.

Chimay is okay.

I think it must be much better on draught. I first had the Bleue in a bar in Brussels, and it blew my mind. Since then I've gotten a few bottles here int he U.S., and it's always tasted a little off.

I thought it was Miller High Life that tasted like that.



Nooo. I drink Miller High Life.. and Lite sometimes.. no skunk. Good come back tho.. but a better would've been MGD.. since it almost does.

I have never been to Belgium, so by the bottle is all I can get.

I'm sure it is much much better on tap, and I would love to try some.

Miller Lite I can drink, anything else from miller (especially MGD and their new Chill) is just terrible.

Last night I tried Creme De Almond with ginger ale, it pretty much tasted like an alcoholic shirley temple.

Vodka because you can mix it with damn near anything. And Dos Equis is my favorite beer ever.
and I'm not supposed to admit this, but I really love wine and champagne as well

and I'm not supposed to admit this, but I really love wine and champagne as well

what is wrong with admitting to loving wine and champagne, I love both as well, but not as much as I love beer.

Not much of a beer guy. Tried High Life a while ago and, quite frankly, it was like straight vinegar. I've also tried some of the cheap light beer my father's friends always seem to stock (and like, I guess) and that just tastes like water.

I'll stick to my liquor, specifically rum drinks. I wish I could find this bottle of Cherry rum I got when I was in Michigan two years ago. That was good stuff.

Whatever I can afford, to be honest. I haven't had the opportunity to go around sampling the finest out there yet.

I hear you. Most of the liquors I buy are under 15.00.

A wise man once told me that you never use the good alcohol with mixed drinks. I prefer mine with a splash of Pepsi or other cola...

Tell that to this one bar I went to once. Six bucks for a single rum & Coke simply because they used Captain. Never drinking there again, regardless of how good the food is.

Try ginger ale with some captain, it really tastes good.

Beer, and I mean beer, not light beer or pilsner. Favorities have to be Delerium Tremens or Gulden Draak, followed by Franziskaner or Dogfish 90 minute.

Wine is nice too, especially rioja, but I'm much more of a beer drinker.

I can't believe its new years and I have no beer in the fridge....it's a travesty.

o.O; Captain isn't even premium. I'd say it's pretty cheap, myself.

Havana Club makes an excellent spicy rum & coke. I only use Captain when I'm feeling for something so sweet I can't taste the alcohol.

It is probably one of the best cheap rums though.

When it comes to mixing liquor with beer, Jose Cuervo goes really well with PBR.

Beer all the way. I'm a fan of Stella Artois and Sam Adams, but I'm working my way through every brand I can get my hands on. I don't like Guiness so far, but other than that I'm not a picky guy.

I was curious about what the little thing on the inside was, so I went and smashed a bottle. Its just a boring little plastic thing.

Appenzeller (like Jägermeister, but better) and Landstürmer (an anise spirit) is one of the best of all deadly combinations known to me. Ah, the memories (or lack thereof)!

It apparently makes the beer taste the same on tap as it does out of the bottle. At least that is what one possibly unrealiable source told me.

Rummy here. Odd that I'm a Texan who won't drink either beer or tequila.

You're better off. Tequila always seems to give me the worst hangovers.
