Favourite alchy drink?

[DEMON212]

Me, Jack Daniels, neat!

[HSaabedra]

I'll go ahead and give my nod for Chivas Regal and Guinness, but I'm pretty sure the pics aren't allowed.

[DEMON212]

Why?

[Soluzar]

Pictures aren't necessary, are they? Assuming that they are not, I rarely drink, and then not much. I prefer a single malt scotch. Anything else is just booze, but single malt is a drink. That's only for a drink at home, where the price isn't outrageous, of course. When I'm out, I'll take either a real ale, or some kind of vodka mixed drink.

I almost forgot. My single malt is drunk neat, and not over ice. Anything else is blasphemous.

[HSaabedra]

:huh: My brain just divided by zero.

[DEMON212]

I rarely drink too Solu, and totally agree with you on the neat thing. I hate JD and Coke and I hate it with Ice.

A man drinks his Whiskey neat :)

What's with all this negativity towards the pics??? ?_?

[Soluzar]

:huh: My brain just divided by zero.
Scotch on the rocks is an American thing. Generally in this country, the traditional alcoholic drinks are served at room temperature. I find that chilling a good single malt just reduces the intensity of the flavour. I can't recall ever seeing anyone drink scotch on the rocks in real life. It's kind of like a social taboo.

[DEMON212]

I've chilled JD before, it was, the same.

I just don't like Ice because it waters it down and also stops the drinking process, lol.

But JD is Bourbon, and not Scotch. But then again it's apparently a "sipping" Whisky. I agree with Father Leary on "sipping" Whisky's (Dennis Leary, he's an Irish/American stand up who's really funny).

How could I forget that? Having been to the UK twice, I got the chance to drink and party, but it was a long time ago.

[Soluzar]

Bourbon is OK too. I definitely prefer JD to any of the other American whisky brands that I've tried. I don't think I'd go for JD in preference to my favourites, but I wouldn't turn it down. Wikipedia says that JD is actually a Tennessee Whiskey, which differs from Bourbon in that it is filtered through maple charcoal, to give it a distinctive flavour. Apparently the grain mash is the same for both Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey though.

I agree with Father Leary on "sipping" Whisky's (Dennis Leary, he's an Irish/American stand up who's really funny).
Dennis Leary? Yeah, pretty funny. I liked that act better when Bill Hicks did it though. What did Leary have to say about sippin' whisky? The only thing I remember was him talking about how no matter how much you love whisky, you always make that "whisky face" after the first sip from a fresh glass.

[HSaabedra]

Denis Leary ripped off Bill Hicks. :l

My favourite beers are Delirium Tremens and Arrogant Bastard.

[Soluzar]

Denis Leary ripped off Bill Hicks. :l
That's pretty much what it seems like, yeah. I don't really think it's a bad thing exactly, but they are so much in the same style that it's obvious Leary was inspired by Hicks. Leary is worth watching, but Hicks is the genius.

[kf1]

Single malt scotch, no ice.

As far as beer goes, anything dark and heavy.

[Haro!]

As far as beer I've only liked Guinness and Heineken.
Other beverages... um I like gin and tequila. Not to be confused with this Tequila (http://www.myspace.com/tilatequila) although I would prefer the latter. (yeah I couldn't help it)

[DEMON212]

Bill Hicks??? Sounds familar, but nope. Don't think i've ever seen him.

Leary on "sipping" Whisky. CLANG! *makes down in one motion* give me another CLANG!.

[Sendo Takeshi]

I'll drink anything that get's me effed up. Although, on a hot summer day I'll go with Guinness or Heineken.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Same. Although Mikes Lemonade is cool. I don't harcore drink a lot. 151 is awesome to get you wasted fast though.

[sazae]

When you have the back problems that I do and take the meds that I take for it then no matter what you drink you're going to feel it fast. However I'm a fan of very chilled Crown Royal or a nice merlot aged at least 5-7 years, while expensive a bottle of Chateau Petrus circa early 1990's is probably the best drink you can have.

[Leader Desslock]

Wines, generally reds or dry whites. Mead. I'll have an occasional shot of Jagermeister to be social. The only hard drink I like is a top-shelf long island iced tea, but I'll only have one of those every couple of years or so.

[Animematt55]

bah i HAITE jack Daniels.
I like a good old gashioned screw driver, or a Midori Sour.

[Alice Catherine]

My dad lets me try **** all the time. Much to my mother's disapproval. Don't worry. It's not enough to actually get me drunk. Just, like, a sip.
So far I've liked Scotch the best.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...i love Lambanog. strong as heck. but sweet like Juicy Fruit!

[MonkeyBoy0314]

Does/can cider have alcohol in it? If so, then cider all the way!

[Soluzar]

Does/can cider have alcohol in it? If so, then cider all the way!
You do get "hard cider" which contains alcohol, yes. Outside America, the term cider almost always means "hard cider". In America, I'm told that normal "apple cider" isn't fermented, and doesn't contain alcohol.

[Suiko Eiji]

Oh, it's too hard for me to decide on just one favorite... I like a small variety of liquors and beers. Haven't yet been able to get into the whole wine thing, but it's not completely off of the table.

As far as liquors go, I like vodka, gin, coconut rum and whiskey (Tennesee, Kentucky, Bourbon), in that order. Screwdrivers and White Russians are probably my favorite tasting mixed drink, but I'll mix anything with Coke (since it's disgusting anyway) or Dr. Pepper. My favorite brands of vodka are Stolichnaya (Russian) and Svedka (Swedish), but I'm also pretty partial to this label of Polish vodka, which I can't spell for the life of me. I think Gin and the coconut rum are about the only ones I can drink straight but more often than not, they'll get mixed into some coke or something to go down smoother. Whiskey is always mixed and a rare event in itself. Usually, I'll drink that if there's nothing else.

I'll second Desslock on Long Island Ice Teas being one of the better cocktail drinks around. They're difficult to make correctly without practice but when you can get them right, they're fantastic.

I'm also an avid beer drinker. I prefer German, Dutch, and Canadian Beers as my top tier, but occasionally, I'll open a Foster's or a Newcastle (but I can't drink them warm like you English-folk). Miller (Genuine Draft or High Life) is probably my favorite American beer, but that's not saying too much.

[Depression]

Beer: Amstel Light, Heineken, Leinenkugal (Apple Spice or Berry Weiss)

Drinks: Snake Nuts, Hawaiian Hammer, Hpnotiq & Hennessy, Vodka & Soda

Those two that you've mentioned are actually beers which are usually consumed chilled even in England. It is only real ale that has to be served at room temperature. Real Ale is the term for traditionally brewed beer which is served without the aid of CO2 pressurisation. It's beer the way it has been made for centuries, unlike the more modern lagers and other beers served from a pressurised keg. Real Ale is always hand-pumped, and there are an incredible range of different varieties, with distinct flavours.

[DEMON212]

My older bro and BM loves Fosters. Ice cold too, literally (you leave em in the freezer long enough, you get lots of ice and that's what they do).

But I hate all beers and lagers, they all taste of piss.

[Suiko Eiji]

Those two that you've mentioned are actually beers which are usually consumed chilled even in England.

I visted in March, so it was still chilly outside and I remember them being a little warmer than I usually like them, so they may have still tasted a little warm for me. Though, thanks for letting me know that they are chilled; if I get back to the UK during the summer months, then I know I won't die of thirst.

[CrossboneGundam]

What's with all this negativity towards the pics??? ?_?

What do you need pictures for? Are you too bombed to read the words or something?

Anyway, I haven't had an alcoholic drink that I liked.

I'm going to say Absinthe.

[Old Ape Face]

you think I'm going to drive to Canada so i can get a XXX black? I'm not that close to the border, and i would never attempt to do anything illegal. I'm saving the drinks till I'm 21 folks.

Newcastle Brown Ale even has a little reactive patch on the label that tells you when the bottle is sufficiently chilled to drink. Fosters should be served ICE COLD. If those two drinks aren't served sufficiently chilled, then you're at the hands of a poor host/bartender.

You can also get ice-cold Guinness on draft in a lot of bars. In fact, at any decent bar, you should find a wide selection of bottled beers served ice cold. There's the stereotype about British 'warm beer', but the truth is that it only applies to certain types of beer, and there are plenty that should be served chilled, or even ice-cold.

[LOSTyears]

Depends on my mood.
Manhattans w/Jim, JD over rocks, Long Islands(really depends on who's making it). I'm with sazae when it comes to chilled Crown as well, also a pretty big fan of red headed $luts which is a tasty Crown recipe everyone should try.
Like to indulge in sake during the holidays too.
Not really into beer but I'll chug down a Heinee if its around.

Anyway, I've been sober several months now since I started my sport.
Best leave this thread before I get any ideas ^_^

[VidelCoolGirl]

Well, getting drunk later tonight. Or just tipsy, I had way too much last time. I'm not all sure what they're getting, but I plan to have some good fun.

[DEMON212]

That whole reply makes no sense what so ever.

If I was to bombed to read the words, how could I type into an image search "Jack Daniels"? As that'd be exactly what i'd be typing with or without pictures.

And then you say "I haven't had anything I liked, so i'll say Absinthe". Why say Absinthe?

Is it because it's the one that you disliked the least?

Is it because it's the only drink you've had?

Is it because you like the name?

Why?

I know you're pissed that I use your hilarious joke about me posting, as the title of my posts. And that you're so desperate to come up with another hilarious joke. But come on man. Put some ****ing effort into it and think of something that atleast makes sense.

That's very possible that I had a bad bartender; to be honest, I remember having Caledonia in Edingburgh, but the others might have been in London or Newcastle (or somewhere in between). Being on vacation and in a pissier mood than I probably should have been, I drank it.

I don't like Guiness in the States and I completely forgot to try it with the UK and Ireland's climate, which is supposed to make it delicious.

Is it because it's the one that you disliked the least?

My guess is on this one.

Well, getting drunk later tonight. Or just tipsy, I had way too much last time.

I started at dinner and still have more homework to do, so I'll probably have about six to eight of my Vodka/Coke mixers.

[DEMON212]

My guess is on this one.

That's why I said it first, but he doesn't actually specify, does he?

[Suiko Eiji]

^No, but I remember CBG saying in the past he doesn't like alcohol too much.

[kenshinbebop]

MALIBU! THAT IS THE BEST DRINKEVER!!!!1111one111one
I like Mudslides. Or Rum and coke.

Of course, I'm underage so I rarely have anything...

[VSh]

From low to high:

I like dark kinds of ale, March or Porter or real Guinness, not that bottled or canned ink that they call so (it's disgusting). Unfortunately it's very rare and can be found only at special places (and very expensive).

As a red wine, it's definitely Shiraz, American or Australian, more expensive the better. Zinfandel is very good also - all varieties - red, rose and white. From white, it is Chardonnay or Gewürztraminer. Again, all that is not from France or Europe, exclude Italian Chianti. South American wines became better lately.

Irish Cream and Benedictine are the best liqueurs in the world.

Vodka should be Absolute or Finland. Not Russian - I've seen how they make it, rotten potatoes and another thing, that was impossible to recognize what it was, it's not for me.

Jamaica Rum is interesting (6+ years). Cognac (Brandy) and Whiskey I don't like.

Though, I always ready to try something new and good.

[Takumi Fujiwara]

For me personally I think beers all taste like crap, I've tried a few and I couldn't stand any, just the smell alone is enough to turn me away from most of them. As for other drinks I found Mike's hard lemonade to be pretty good since I enjoy lemonade to begin with and the alcohol just makes it a little more sour. I tried a pina colata (I believe thats correctly spelled, minus the ~ for the n) and found it quite good, I also enjoy cognac (room temp, no ice, only) it is however a tad strong, especially since I rarely drink. I also tried sake once at a sushi bar, I thought it tasted ok, my cousin was with me, and he said it was horrible, however I did have a cold, and his taste in drinks are almost completely opposite of mine, I guess I'll try it again when I'm not sick to see if it's something I enjoy.

[DazzleKitty]

I have a hard time liking the taste of any sort of alcholic drink. All of them, of course, have these bitter undertones from the alcohol in it, and it's just so nasty to me. I actually tried one drink today called a White Russian, and it was good because you coudln't taste the alcohol.

I am going to say I like Barcardis (I've only tried one kind...can't remember which) and Bud Select. I drink Bud Select the most, but it's dang hard because it just tastes like utter crap.

[sazae]

I know I have already replied to this thread but I have to add the new note that I have the greatest wife in the world. It was recently our 15th anniversary and as a gift she somehow located for me two bottles of 1985 vintage (the year I moved to America) Petrus Pomerol. And now a picture can be added to the thread, everybody can see what $2000 worth of wine looks like :P

I could have gone my entire life never having listening to that music; if it can be called that. You scarred me, quite possibly for life. I hope this makes you happy.

Oh, right, alcohol. Hrm...well, I don't much care for alcohol but I've had a Mountain Dew + Vodka mix that was pretty tasty.

[Perperikon010]

A glass of earthy, aged red Merlot is always good. I like rum, whiskey and Baileys as well. I'm currently trying to get someone to make me a Mint Julep as it sounds delicious. Has anyone ever had one?

[animeotaku99]

straight midori, or peach shnapps for me, oh also Banana vodka

Hey not my name for those drinks.
But so far at all the parties in the VA area everyone seems to refer to wonderful tasting flavoured beer as a girls drink. I dont give two ***** though I love it regardless of what gender "should" be drinking it. Plus look at the other drinks on my list.

[sumwhatkrazy]

Beer. Australian beers.(i drink other beers, but Aussie beers the most)
Vodka with Redbull and jayger bombs.
I rather enjoyed some wine during/after dinner the other night, might look further inta that.

Jus noticed this post. Awesome, thats what i like to see.(nobody can out drink me though ;p )

[blackknight]

Vodka, followed by sake and grappa.

[tenshi_a]

* Leffe Blond
* various English beers (IPAs are generally nice)
* Tiger Beer (which is lager)
* Archers & lemonade (by the pint)
* White Russians
* various kinds of red wines (what kind? not cheap!)

I used to drink a lot of vodka when I was in university. But it kills me now. You don't want details. So I don't drink that anymore. White Russians aren't so bad; I think it must be the milk content. Only minor death.

I'm not that much of a fan of whiskey. But... ever tried pouring it into the bottom half of a lady, instead of the top half? That's fun. (things you learn from playing the wrong sort of videogames...).

Leffe is great stuff, but it's very rich and you wouldn't want to drink too much of it. It's normally served in half measures (but it's quite strong, so that evens out). Same with the fruit-based beers like Fruli, or whatever. Drink one, or two, appreciate, and move onto another drink.

I'm not too fond of the popular lagers, though I'll drink them if served very cold. I don't really like overly wheaty beers like Amstel or Warsteiner, either.

[neXus]

Very medicinal.

[Takumi Fujiwara]

Don't know if i've ever had a Cognac, can you describe the taste?

Well, like trying to describe the taste of anything it's pretty much impossible, only thing I can tell you is it's Brandy that's left to age in wood barrels (the type of wood escapes me at the moment, might be oak(?)) that are burnt on the inside. So I guess the best way I can describe it is a "harsh smokey flavor", which even when I read it just sounds rediculous. My advise is if your curious visit a decent restaraunt, or sports bar and order a glass, it'll probably run you about $6 and you'll only get about 1/3 the amount of what's shown in the picture. Just remember it's pretty strong and is supposed to be warmed in your hand, smelled, then sipped, to be enjoyed the "correct way", at least that's what I've always been told.

Moonshine from my local brewery, Abbeydale. Newcastle Brown's a firm favourite too, though. And I'll have Tetleys just for the ease of downing on a Monday night. As well as it being a pound a pint at my local on Mondays. :D

As far as lagers go, I'd plump for Bavaria. I acquired a taste for it in Holland recently.

[SabakuKuniGaara]
