Since we have a thread about favorite music (again), why not have a poll thread about the second.... make that third best thing in the universe, booze.
So vote for your favorite.
So, on a brigther note, I've got 6-pack of beer that I won today on my hands, and no-one to share it with.
Wasn't that much of a brighter note, now was it?
-
Tea with (a lot of) brandy in it :nervous:
-
gin & tonic
-
nothing
-
Absinthe!

Tried that **** once in my life (on my trip to Hungary, since guess what, in estonia, it's illegal. Got something to do with illegal drugs or some such). Couldn't stand it.
-
Jesus didn't turn water into Coke, nor grape juice, nor even gin & tonic. Wine for me - in moderation. ;)
-
mikes hard lemonade

That'd be Wormwood, a hallucinagen. I don't like the taste myself either but if you're going to get drunk I've yet to find something to do the job more efficiently.
TBH I don't drink it much.
I've lately discovered a liking for Southern Comfort and Lemonade.. but I'm not adverse to a shot of vodka, a pint of beer or some wine.

I don't even like Coke

Rather surprisingly the Vodka Vandals seem to be beating the Lager Louts at the moment :D
Love vodka personally. Especially neat vodka :D
-
A tiny bit of wine every couple a months.
-
hmm... after taking a look at my current supply, I see that I have 2 bottles of vodka, one bottle of whiskey, 2 bottles of liqueur, and some beer. oh, some cider too, it seems. but that strongbow bottle must be flat now.
What I usually drink is vodka based drinks, especially white russians and ice bears. I like whiskey and absinthe too, tho. It's also nice to have a few beers once in a while.
-
I stopped drinking cider when I realised it tastes exactly the same going down and comming back up :ick:

depends. if you drink it to get rid of the bad aftertaste after some odd german sparklewine...
-
Last time I drank cider... uuurgh. We'd decided to kill this big bottle of Jim Beam betwixt the three of us, with the girl who's kitchen we were in watching and laughing as we got more and more ****faced. The large hairy chap in that pizza thread of mine was pouring triples in to coffe mugs and mkaing us down them. After the JB was gone, I went back to our fridge to find more alkyhol, only to find there was nothing but Strongbow. So I drank a can of that and fell asleep under the kitchen table whilst verbally abusing my friends and neighbours :nod:

Yes, poison of my choice. Absinthe is something I can't drink regularly as my habit of polishing off half a bottle of the stuff (like I do with everything, regardless of %) in the first hour has a tendency to leave me too ****ed to move.
Also, I cannot stomach wine in any capacity, be it red, white or other, I only have to look at a bottle of the stuff to gag sometimes.

Black Jesus did.
As for me, wine is the only I have access to that tastes moderately good that I have access to. Beer I think is mostly crap, Root aside. :)
Oh, Vodka is fun too.
-
vodka is good, only when mixed with something
good choice though :yes:
-
[color=66ff00]100% alcohol free.
BTW cider - A pussy drink?!? You need to try irish cider, I see more people messed up on that stuff than just about anything else.
[/color]
-
Cider isn't a pussy drink if you get the right cider ;) (Ok, that just sounded wrong :D)
Anyway, my favorite pure drinks:
1). Jack Daniels
2). Vodka (Prefferably Absolute Vodka. It's the best out there IMO)
3). Beer
My fav mixes:
1). Irish car bomb (A little Guiness beer [and NO OTHER BRAND!], 1 shot glass Baileys & 2 shot glasses od Scotch)
2). Kamikaze (1 part Lime Juice, 1 part blue curacoa & 1 part Vodka)
3). Real Margarita (lots of lime juice, salt, Tequila, blue curacoa)
Aaaaahhh... yes... The good ol' time as a summer job barkeep :D

ahh, yes... one of the great things that comes from sweden. it was quite a while since I bought any of that, tho. right now I've got that dutch bols vodka at home, tho. quite good, if I may say so. I usually shop the booze because of the bottle design. this is one of my fav designs:
(http://www.scandinaviandesign.com/news/svensk/bottle~1.JPG)
"svensk vodka". really good, is produced not to far from where I live. they've got gin too, which comes in a similar shaped bottle, only even better looking.

Coke for me. Of course, not only do I have no intention to drink, I'm underage, so that's probably the best call.

Pussy :p
Seriously, is it that strict over there? Cause, over here it's legal to drink at age 16 but nobody really cares if you're one or two years younger :p
-
Rum......so far my drink inventions with rum include the Yard Arm, the Bilge Rat, the Powder Keg, the Broken Rudder, and Three different cannonball, Solid shot, Grape shot, and Long 9. yeah i know, rum is a second class liquer, but since I am the only living breathing PRACTICING pirate.....what else would i drink? and just to clear the air, i was a Pirate long before the movie....I think i was six when i saw Erol Flynn in Captain Blood, and that started me off on my Pirate craze..... so for now and always....RUM....and did i mention more Rum?
-
@Tiara:
Depends on the part of the country and where your parents are.
The cops in Georgia, however, are generally unamused at breaking up high school beer bashes, though. And there are some attempts to nail your *** to a wall for DUI, which I heartily agree with.
I'm also not really that interested in alchohol, anyway. I see no reason to drink. I'm already crazy enough as it is!
-
1)beer
2)jack daniels
3)vodka (pure) or somethimes mixed.
-
Ahh, Moonsword lives near me... for all I know, next door *scared*
Drink wine once in awhile during holidays, when parents let me. 21 year old restriction pisses me off. Doesn't make sense either, considering you're 'responsible' for yourself at the age of 18.
Figures, US government.
-
so what you're telling me, is that you have a 21 year-old age limit, and people actually care to enforce it? Wow.... go figure
not that I'm in that much of a position to mock, being a citizen of the world's third country in alcohol consumption

It amazes me that some people think you can be old enough to drive, get married and join the army but have a beer! Now there's something that's a big commitment :)

Good man.
And about the age restriction thing, isn't it time that all age limits were standardised? Either to 16 or 18, for everything.
-
I could go for some legalised gambling about now...

Although I gave up drinking a while ago.... last time I was out, some bastard spiked my drink.

If you consider cider booze, you're not right in your mind :doubt:

As for the car bomb... wtf? Guiness is bad enough as it is.

O'Neills, in the old cheesemarket(?). Apparently i just blacked out and smacked my head off a chair. Can't remember anything after that, fortunately I was out with a bunch of mates form uni who were able to get me home ok. Scary, tho.
-
I haven't really developed a palette for any sort of alcohol yet. I may try wine again at the end of the year. :)

Dun you mean saltmarket? If you do - oh you silly silly man... You're lucky ur mates were there for sure. :nervous:

Hey, DragonClaw, what part of the state are you from?

nope. Old cheese market, in the Merchant City.
-
Need to get some bearings on that one, not quite sure where u are exactly. Safe bet ur not too bad in the merchant city tho, so long as u avoid the surrounding features... like Bennets.

St. Vincent street, I believe. I'm not too hot on Glasgow street names, thend to just bumble my way round based on memory.
-
Ach bloody hell I have a fair idea where you are now.
Next time go to the Corinthian nearby - far higher class of villan to drug u there. :lol:
Back on topic:
I recall drinking double JDs neat on occasions when I'd fallen out wi me ex, now that was an interesting experience because I was never hungover :nervous:
-
Well, I like bloody mary's (vodka and tomatoe juice), Scotch, Cider, and some Old Dutch Jenever (though only if we ran out of scotch). Gin is terrible, straight vodka is hardly any better, liquers are too sweet, and don't get me started on alcopops. Calvados (Apple Whisky, I geuss.) is nice too.
As for Dutch regulations:
16 = Beer, Wine, Alcopops
18 = Whisky, Vodka, etc, and I think mariuhana as well.
These are just the sale limits. If you get your parents to buy the stuff, no one is about to complain if you get drunk (your parents, perhaps).

If it was up to the store clerks they'd sell it to 12 year olds :p They just don't want to get *****slapped by the governement :p
-
Well, the good ones do have a bit of judgement. Bars and pubs seem to be a bit different, though. Supermarkets are easy enough to get booze from, it seems, but barkeeps do generally have a bit more brains.
-
No, they don't have brains, they try to protect their booze liscence. Really, they don't give a **** about who buys the booze as long as they can keep their liscence :D

*Subliminizes*
You will drink Bundy and Colas. Yes you will.
Good stuff - a bit more expensive than beer ($15 a six pack:sigh: ) but worht it. Goes down brilliantly. It's the ideal mix of a sweet, premixed drink that wont bring your sexuality into question.
-
No drink for me. I like my liver.
-
Triple Ace, at times a bit of alcohol is even healthy. It destroyes the bulking germs in your body. It might take some good cells with it but overall it's good for your body if you drink a shot/glass every now and then. :)
Ow, I'm talking Vodka, wine, Scotch-type alcohol though. Not the mixes. They're just not good for you :p

It's not unheard of here either. It's just the larger establishments who don't do it :p

That and Stella, Tiger, San Miguel, etc.
Ooh, and I've got a mate whose sister brought him back a bottle of proper absinthe from Spain, the 75% stuff. Gonna have it when all me mates are back from uni in a few weeks. It's gonna be painful.....:shaking: ;)

Interesting note: whenever I drink Becks, I feel violently ill within hours.

Gaah! I'm not surprised - 'orrible stuff, is Beck's.

Rum and coke, here...

Beer mostly. Scotch and Vodka sometimes. I checked Coke too, because I have the occasional Rum and Coke....
