I'm bored and full of roughly 300ml of Jack Daniels. But my spelling, punctuation and grammar are almost perfect. Yey me!

Anyway, I demand you 'people' partake in a discussion on the merits of various forms of alcohol.


Personally, I'd take Whiskey over anything, anyday. But I'm open to the odd pint of vodka or other extreme quantity of cold, hard liquor. And anything 'on the rocks' has no place outside a homosexual bar. As far as lagers and beers go, I'll take a John Smiths over a Stella, and a Guinness over a Fosters.

I'm a liquor and bitter man. (Anyone who can find an innuendo in that should be shot). And I despise any slack-jawed yokel who would defile the sanctity of a drinking establishment by asking for a curiously coloured 'alco-pop' or some fancy, umbrella-carrying cocktail which, IMHO, have no place in the world of a professional drinker.

Such 'fruity' people are worthy only of the fiercest hatred my semi-inebriated mind can muster.

What say you, forumites? Do ye bathe in the pool of brightly coloured, man-sex drinks; Or are ye a proud swimmer through the rough waters of the liquor sea?

Well, as I don't drink, it seems to make good fuel for drag racers.

A good Budweiser never hurts after work, IMO.  Although I hate the sugary alcohol, wine-coolers make for a decient chaser when shooting the hard stuff.

Vodka and the lighter alcohols are my personal favorite, as burbon makes me tired and whiskey gives me horrible breath.

don't drink, this is what I'm like sober
IM INSAINE!

Fags. *sobs* You're all fags.

*tries to decide between buying a bottle of Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Bells or Johnnie Walker (Black and/or Red)*

Jack Daniels is a man's drink

oh hell yeah, there's nothing like a little alcohol (or a lot... usually a lot).  a little jack daniels, jim bean, etc. never hurts.  it's quite often after a long days work i'll come home late, and go through a few bud lights (i like lite beers).  although last weekend me and two friends went through a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 in about 4 hours. i hate Wild Turkey since then, but its always good.  i prefer hard liquor over light (beer, etc.) i never actually get drunk, i don't believe in getting drunk, but getting a buzz now and then is OK.  another drink that's badass is Skyy vodka.  i don't know if they have that over there in England, but it's awesome

hard licquor, that's what its all about.  bourban, licquor, vodka, and all other hard

[Liberator]

I'm in with a bunch of slushes.

you guys really should try authentic moonshine. im seriously thinking about setting up a still next to my computer. the strongest drink i ever had would have been a tripple shot of everclear. its like drinking jet fuel.

that said one shouldnt be too evasive of mixed drinks that actually taste good. i made some margaritas awhile back that were quite strong.

as for beers, we have our own local brewery here in ak, and they make a pretty good stout. and a beer after work always hits the spot.

Glen Morangie.

Alternatively JD if I feel like being boring.

EDIT:Neat, may I add.

I'm quite fond with whiskey today aswell. Scottish all the way though. Hmm... White Horse or Highland Bird are my favourites right now. They're not the most expencive ones at all but still good.

Other than that... well, a beer or two (or good cider) after a sauna is nice of course

I'm a whiskey man, myself.  My girl too.  When we go to clubs and get a table, that's the bottle of choice: usually either Johnny Walkers, Jack Daniels, or Dewers, depending on the price.  I won't touch Buchanan, that's just cheap water.

Or if I'm at a business function (after hour drinks, business dinners) I'll do the gin and tonic.  It's smooth (at least to me, although others say it's bitter...it is an acquired taste, though) and doesn't hit that hard.

For relaxation after work (and not wanting to get sloshed) I'll either have blush or white wine.

I won't touch beer as it produces a gut, but I will drink it when I'm eating at Hooters or whatever.

beer is terrible on my system, i go as drunk as from 2 glasses of wine from half a small bottle.

I like some white  wines, but mostly either sherry or whisky. jenever goes quite well too, really.It's the Dutch variant of gin,  but where gin tastes like some chemical mix of pure toxin, Jenever tastes more like a smooth whisky.

and the ****er who invented those sugary mix drinks should be executed by force-feeding him a few gallons of the stuff.

A topic I like, an0n... nice

I tend to have phases of drinks.. I just finished a beer phase which involves drinking as much of the cheapest stuff around (usually Fosters) to achieve drunkeness. This is good except it runs the risk of leading to depression (I think this is just something my body does out of protest.. but I don't drink to get  depressed - I drink to have a laugh - so I have to play it carefully).

Anyway, if it's not beer - it's (most) kind of spirits - in particular Vodka or Whisky, straight or mixed with something (depending on what the point of drinking is.. if it's social drinking then I'll mix it. If it's to get drunk fast then it's shots).

I've not thrown up as a result of alcohol for four years now, although I have had some very nasty hangovers.. usually when mixing things.

Wine I tend to steer clear of - I just don't enjoy it that much. I never drink it to get drunk unless it's all there is around. But generally I don't enjoy it. It is nice with a meal however.


So basically - social drinks are mixed spirits, a couple of beers or a glass of wine.

Drinking to get drunk is larger quantities of spirits / beer but not wine.

Finally, on the subject of "strong stuff". I've got two bottles of Portugese fire water in my cupboard.. that stuff is about 60pc. I've also more or less finished a bottle of Absynthe (70pc) which is good for nothing but shots and for getting drunk / slightly drugged up (yes, I do feel the effects of the wormwood).

So... thats my alcohol story!

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I'm quite fond of JD, but there's never any in the house, and I'm too idle (and underage, ahem) to buy it myself.
Beer I can't stand. Always tastes to me like someone's just belched in my face.
Brandy, however, is good stuff, and I was drinking it most of the day yesterday, due to the lack of whiskey I've already mentioned.
Tequila = pwnage.

I'm quite fond of vodka, and the various drinks you can make from it. especially white russians. as far as beer goes, I like staropramen. in fact it's the only I could drink without the purpose of getting drunk. so, what I have at home right now is: half a litre of 60% koskenkorva vodka, a bottle of kahlua (coffee liqueur to make black/white russians with), and some cheap beer I got from a cruise I went on. I need to get to the booze store and buy some staropramen and maybe a bottle of bols blue.

[kasperl]

i forgot, when the purpose is just fun and not getting drunk, i like cider a lot, the lighter variants contain only 2 percent alcohol, and the heavier go up to about 8, so you can avoid getting drunk if you have to. I can't have any sugar, so white wine is not so smart most of the  time, and  all those mixes would probably give me a seizure or something.

[color=66ff00]I've seriously considered drinking before, I've often thought I might be missing out on something but then I talk to people that are miserable due to not being able to have fun without it and I hope never to have to be in that position.
