History, eh?
Only historical booze for you, then!

Lets see, mead, mead, and more mead.


Mead is actually a very nice drink.

uhm, i can't have it, way to sweet. if you go historical, cider is good too, and you can drink a lot of it before you go really drunk.

Sweet alchoholic drinks SUCK. If i wanted sweet stuff, I'd rather take a coke. Wine at most. Cider.... ugh... almost as bad as liqeour(sp?)

Anyway congrats. Now go **** off.

*has still one exam and one week until graduation*

well, light cider is pretty good IMHO, basicvly appeljuce with bubles and 2% alcohol, so you get the taste, but you don't get drunk.

I sometimes drink cider.  Once becuase i was at a small music festival - in a forest - and they ran out of beer.  Most of the time i drink it though its cause i'm bored of lager, after 5 or 6 pints.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on June 14, 2003, 02:47:05 pm
Lager, to me, always tastes like someone has belched in my face, anyway.

i can't stand beer, at all, i get drunk after half a bottle.

and i don't really like the taste, only on the darker kinds of beer.

From what I've heard from friends, It's very hard to get me drunk, and even then I'm not any different than when I´m sober.

Go figure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Title: Today is the day that I...
Post by: kasperl on June 14, 2003, 02:51:25 pm
good, unless you just broke up orsomething, then it's bad.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on June 14, 2003, 02:52:09 pm
I can't stand the taste, and so I don't know how much of it is needed for me to get drunk. At a mate's 16th, I made a small stubby bottle last 3 hours! Tasted of ****.

Guiness, on the other hand....
Title: Today is the day that I...
Post by: Tiara on June 14, 2003, 02:58:09 pm
My average drinking on a night outta town :p (Chronological order :D):

- A few beers
- Banana boat (Usually 'bout 30%)
- Tequilla contest with your friends :D
- Sometimes a whisky (depending on where we are. For example: Disco and whisky don't mix very well)
- Followed by lotsa stuff I usually don't remember the next day :p

Note: This is just on a regular night out when its a good atmosphere and when I'm with friends (+/- 3-4 times a month). At home I barely drink besides the occassional Blue Curaçao... (Its worse on holidays though :p)

[color=66ff00]Listen, I'm Irish and even I can tell you that Guinness is bird**** and peat and tastes like it too. Worst thing I've ever tasted, well... maybe buckfast is worse.

Anyhow alcohol isn't my thing, which puts me in a minority.

I'm not much of a drinker, either, but I am still a great fan of Guinness.

In fact, I've only been pissed twice in my life!
It's madness!

Post by: beatspete on June 14, 2003, 03:03:58 pm
I've gone off spirits and mixers, dunno why.  Just prefer a nice pint of lager, suppose cause it takes longer to drink - plus i actually like the taste.

[color=66ff00]Well, actually, I'm not a drinker at all, I have been drunk a grand total of zero times. I have a good time without it so I figure why bother? My friends are professional drinkers though and I often get to taste whatever their tipple of choice is. :)

Aaahhhwww come on! You just HAVE to get wasted once in your life! You can lay off the booze after that, but try it at least once!

Post by: pyro-manic on June 14, 2003, 05:27:37 pm
Hee hee! This just reminded me of last saturday. I went out with a bunch of mates. They started off with absinthe, while I was still in work (the bastards). Basically, I was three hours behind all night, then had to drag one of 'em home 'cos the silly bugger didn't eat anything before he left. Two miles up a hill, in the pissing rain, at two in the morning, wearing only jeans and a few shirts, steering a guy who can't see is NOT my idea of a great night out. Funny to look back on, though (especially as he lost his wallet, with his driving licence, NI card, bank account cards, etc. inside!) :lol:  He said he's not doing it again in a hurry, but we're spending a week on Rhodes next month, so I doubt that very much...

Fave drinks are:
Jack Daniel's and Coke with ice

"Jaftershock" - as above with two aftershocks tipped into it, as invented by aforementioned pissed friend Jim.

Corona - Mexican beer that has a weird fruity taste. Has to be ice-cold, though, otherwise it's grim.

I hate nearly all beer - it just tastes like crap. I only drink to get drunk, really, I'm not the kind of person who can just have a pint to relax - I'd rather have water or something with a half-decent taste.

As for getting wasted, yeah - do it once, but make sure you have nothing planned for the next morning, 'cos you may find you feel rough as f***! ;)

Well I did celebrate my graduation a bit yesterday too... we wen't to Helsinki with my father and he payed all drinks and new shoes, food and so on :D (it was his idea)

I didn't drink that much though... goes against my nature. But wine on the Helsinki Wine Festival was really delicious... what was it... Réne Barbier Varietal Temparillo. I recommend it highly :nod:

[color=66ff00]Actually I've never even considered it. I've never got a good vibe off the thought of getting drunk, I guess it's a little closed minded but I will not risk piece of mind over something I find so friviolus. *shrugs*

Anyhow back to the topic at hand: Congratulations, hopefuly you'll have a fast recovery. ;)

Meh, its fun. But be sure you go with your friends (Not the kind that'll strip you butt-naked and leave you in the middle of nowhere... Thats a common thing amongst guys... for whatever reason they have they seem to like it :p [No that hasn't happened to me :p]), and always have 1 person that doesn't drink with you (or one that has agreed not to drink that night).

Well I was using up the last of the lime juice, and I found a bottle of whisky, so I just though "why not". Quite an interesting taste.

Lime Juice! There's no Lime Juice available in the entire Estonia. Not good if you want home-made Marguarita's. Not only that, even in restaurants they make it with Grapefruit. Ugh.
