POLL: What'll it be to drink?

[Kyle]

Give me a Black Russian with a cherry.

What're you guys drinking?

[Chris Cheung]

I'll let you know when I'm done.

[James Daily]

Alkohjalll!

[hipcheck]

Sandeman Tawney Port, straight up

[Smackdaddy-OG]

Corona - best reasonably priced beer you can get
Double Tequila Margaritas - I get an ear to ear grin after Margaritas. I don't know why, they just make me happy.
Sam Adams - smooth
Guiness - not just a beer, a meal in itself

Coors Light is possibly the worst beer I have ever had. Budweiser is pretty crappy too.

[hipcheck]

Amen to Coors Light. All cheap American beer is terrible.

[Rich]

If it's beer, I'll go for either Stella Artois or Rolling Rock.

If it's spirit and a mixer, it's gotta be gin'n'tonic (feeling supersonic).

If it's a whisky, Jamesons please.

[hipcheck]

you mean apple juice and orange juice?

...or do you mean.... no.... you couldn't...

[lizardking5000]

Jack Daniel's, straight up, slightly chilled

I am the Lizard King, and I can do anything!

[steauengeglase]

Vodka tonic, what could be better. Well outside of sex.

Dont know if you guys have heard of this drink but its called Strongbow Black.

Has something like 9% alcohol in it and its about six bucks for about 600ml of the stuff. But after 4 or 5 of them youre on the moon !

[Smackdaddy-OG]

I had Blackeyes in a bar recently. Very smooth and kinda sweet. Good stuff.

[Some Guy]

Anything except beer and wine coolers. In fact I'd rather drink water than beer.

[dis]

Sapphire and tonic.
I think I'll mix me another.

[Fractal_Wave]

Strawberry daquiri, thank you very much.

Or Crown Royal tequila

Or (don't laugh) Mount Gay rum.

Or vodka & peach juice.

All the best,
Fractal_Wave

[Hobbes]

Grapico!

Alcohol is nasty...

[MalevolentSeaCow]

Okay, I'll step out of the shadows for this one...and I'll make an admission worthy of an appearance on Jerry Springer: I don't like beer. There. I've said it. It's so liberating!

But I like peppermint schnapps, hot chocolate with cocoanut rum and assorted other girlie drinks. (Which, of course, reminds me of a favorite bit from Kids In The Hall..."Girl Drink Drunk"...)

However, I'd like someone to explain the appeal of martinis to me. I think I'd rather have a glass of monkey sweat. *shudder*

Caroline

[Smackdaddy-OG]

Average American beer sucks.

Here are some good beers for people who usually don't like beer:

Sam Adams
Pete's Wicked Ale
Corona (w/ lime's)
Tequiza

Martini's suck. Vodka martini's are good though (why it's still called a martini is debatable...).

I like Mike's Hard Lemonade too, girly drink or not.

[Bourkey]

Yeah, I don't mind a good para port of seppelts, but the favoured brew of mine is Coopers Stout, never fosters, crap!

But the Vodka Martini, remember, was stirred not shaken!

[hipcheck]

I'm developing an affinity for sour apple martinis--them bad boys sho is good.

[KSBrennan]

I'll take a Gin and Tonic with a slice of lime. If it's a beer night give me a Guinness or Grasshopper (local Calgary brew).

[CraigO]

Good ol' Jack Daniel's on the rocks or a cold Alexander Keith's with the boys.

[setgeg]

Ill have a coke

[Zeb]

1/3 Red Creaming Syrup
1/3 Vodka
1/3 Lemonade/Water/Whatever

Nice shit.
Try it.

[buddy_luv]

rum and coke makes a happy camper

[hardlyworking]

Give me Agave Tequila with a splash of OJ anytime.

Knob Creek on the rocks ain't too bad either.

Beer: gotta be a Molson Canadian, Guiness or Newcastle.

[velvet_cactus]

Wolfieee, mate, got any idea whats happened to strongbow black?

for some reason it has magically disappeared from the fridges of our bars and clubs in sydney.

what gives?

IM DRINKING YOUR MOM

[leggy]

ice cold vodka shots out of the freeze-grey goose preferably

[XtremeGod]

I'll have a milk please. I am 21 and don't drink, heck I don't even drink soda or coffee. I guess that is why I am an adonis. http://www.rushcomics.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Smackdaddy-OG]

Did you know that milk is worse for you than alcohol (reasonable amounts of alcohol of course). Fat, growth hormones, antibiotics, and assorted crap. BLEH! Never liked milk. I stopped drinking soda a few years ago and switched to Snapples. Stopped drinking snapples a few months ago and switched to water. I have a little alcohol maybe every other weekend or so. Water and alcohol, the drinks of champions!

Beer: Newcastle, Guinness, Samuel Smiths Tadcaster Porter, Bass.

Shots: Jager, Beam, Cuervo gold, Gosling's 151 black rum, liquid cocaine (evil.)

Drinks: Rain Man, Dewar's, Gin&Tonic, Beam/Jack/Bacardi& coke, Red bull & vodka (actually a good thing for 12 hour benders).

[Grim Reaper]

Beer: Heineken Special Dark, or Sam Adams, but only if I don't have homebrew on hand:

Homebrew supplies... (http://www.morebeer.com)

[hipcheck]

Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen is a nice little brew...and damn if I don't have a whole case in the fridge!

[General Apathy]

If I did drink, I'd probably down XXXX (pronounced four-ex), it's made in Australia, and has like double or triple the alcoholic content of normal beer, something like that. From what I hear, it's wicked, but hamatoyoshi or Mud Buddha could tell you more about it then I can.

The alcohol content of Australian beer is significant. Granted they give you big glasses, but it's the only place where I've ever felt buzzed after two drinks on an empty stomach.

Australian beers in quality (highest to lowest):

Carlton Cold
Toohey's New
Toohey's Old
XXXX
Foster's
VB

That's all I can think of at the moment. VB is total piss. I can't believe anyone drinks it. Yet it's insanely popular in Oz. It can, however, be bought in the Australian parliament house in Canberra, which impressed me.

Foster's is only marginally better.

[hamatoyoshi]

Ouzo is definitely my favorite drink. I stayed drunk off of ouzo for three days sraight once. Not only that, but your breath smells great afterwards.

Speaking of licorice flavored drinks... I hear absinthe was legalized again in the UK? Can anyone confirm this?

[Smackdaddy]

I've never had absinthe. Toxic stuff, eh?

[hamatoyoshi]

Originally posted by Alec:

Hallucinogenic. I'd say all the greater artists and writers from the Romantic to the Modern era were whacked out on absinthe.

Turns out after long term exposure it causes dementia.

[ArchdukeFerdinand]

Yeah, tis indeed a hallucinogen. Btw Ham, I believe I'm getting a bottle of Ouzo for our gig tonight. Ouzo and Tequila (or Beam).

[MudBuddha]

Incidentally, I'm drinking a Tooheys New right now.. mmm. Anyway, the choice drink for me has always been a Corona (beer). Too expensive for what u get tho. New on the other hand, holds the middle price range crown for me. I never really drink spirits anymore

About strongbow black, i'll never drink one of them again.. i got food poisoning from one of them about 1 week ago
*blah*

[James Daily]

Sleeman's Steam, or a Scotch on the rocks.

A nice ice wine after dinner is always nice too.

Foster's is actually canadian beer, and subarus are actually Japanese. The whole Australia gimmick is to make their product look rough and tough type of thing.

give me a coca-cola ON THE ROCKS.

i think this is my 100th post

[ArchdukeFerdinand]

Foster's production has only recently been moved to Canada. It was an australian beer for quite some time. Its still quite available there and through the UK.

Yeah, I know a lot of beers in Oz are made by the Carling company which sponsors cricket and soccer games. I don't know too much about the company itself though...

[Grim Reaper]

Found a recipe for Absinthe
here (http://www.barnonedrinks.com/recipes/cocktails/a/absinthe.html)

My favorite mixed drink is Bacardi 151, coke and fresca. Weird, but good.

[ArchdukeFerdinand]

I've actually had that Grim, I like it. In the school of other drinks that don't have an official name, I'm a big fan of Bacardi 151, sprite, tanqueray gin and orange juice. Also for fans of 151, goslings dark 151 rum with ginger beer is awesome...

Well, a bottle of ouzo and an Ohio State shotglass have become a permanent fixture of my computer.

Right now, however, I'm busy polishing off a bottle of Kikkoman plum wine...

[ArchdukeFerdinand]

I sense a 3-week bender coming up here for ham.

[horst, ze mighty german]

Good Java coffee and Afri Cola, a German coke with a nice taste of vanilla. Stopped drinking alcohol a few weeks ago. Don't miss it.

[arabasque]

Southern Comfort and Dr. Pepper....Also a corona and a lime is always good

Not quite as good as Southern Comfort and grape jelly in the squeeze bottle...

[Z-Man]

Another totally random *BUMP*

[thinlyslicedcabbage]

Lets get this discussion going hard again!

Hey Yoshi, it's actualy rather difficult to get Fosters in Australia, most places stopped selling it cos nobody drank it - I hate it (why do you think we exported it in the first place? no one in Australia goes near the crap).

The worst beer I've ever had is XXXX (4X) - its bad.... very bad. Apparently Rugby fans in Queensland drink it, but i don't think many others do.

My favourite beer is Heineken.
My favourite reasonably priced beer is Tooheys Extra Dry - very nice.


But I'm generally a spirits man - Vodka or B52's all the way.

That's what a friend of mine said after he got back from a vacation there. I'm not too fond of it myself... I usually stick to Molson Canadian, Alexander Keith's, and when I've got some extra money kicking around (read: almost never) I go for Sleeman's Cream Ale. :beer:

[tom tom]

White Russian or Tequila with Grapefruit.

[KSBrennan]

Gin and Tonic and Guiness

[steauengeglase]

Gin and Tonic and Guiness

Damn straight, but where is the Scotch.

[Brent Illes]

Bump.

Hit the Coronas pretty hard the other night. They're alright too.

[Corsair9]

sapphire and sprite.
sierra nevada or pilsner urquell. kirin ichiban's also pretty good. this summer its peroni and dos equis.

i had absinthe in prague - didnt trip tho.

[aDusty1]

Cran-raspberry juice is the elixar of the gods.
But when I have an occasion to drink alcohol, any good porter will do. Or if wine is called for, a nice white zinfandel is not to offesive to my system.
Alcohol hates me

[Firemangs]

Captain and cokes

Bacardi O and orange 180 energy drink, great buzz and tastes like orange crush soda

[stg]

kirin ichiban's also pretty good. this summer its peroni

corsair

good call on the ichiban (or ichitsiban, that's what i call them for no apparent reason)

and peroni is good, but if your in the mood for an italian brew
you should try moretti
it's quite good as well

[Corsair9]

yeah actually, there is a MUCH better one than peroni,
but i cant recall the name to save my life.
all i remember was that there is an "ice" version
(like bud ice)

and there are sailboats on the bottle.

[aDusty1]

I prefer liquor or wine. Not a huge fan of beer, but I do like some microbrews and obscure imports. Current favorite: all varieties of Lindeman's Belgian Lambic ales

IF YOU LOVE ORANGE CRUSH, YOU WILL LOVE THAT DRINK AND ITS A HIGH ENERGY DRINK SO BETTER BUZZ AND DOESNT TASTE LIKE ASS (IM REFERRING TO RED BULL & VODKA) BUT ITS THE SAME AFFECT

[Ares]

Forbidden Fruit, its a beer 8-9%. Has naked laddies on the bottle =D

Is it true american beer is like 3% ?:beer:

[s8n]

american beer is basically 5% and below, anything more than that, cant be called "beer." or so i was told by my universty's drug and alcohol counselor.

[ArchdukeFerdinand]

I like the taste of red bull and vodka...

As for those percentages, standard american beer is anywhere from 5-7%,(the 3% thing is in utah and given the olympics that's probably where the idea got started that all of us are limpwristed ass-water drinking fairies) S8n the "can 't call it beer" thing is decided from state to state, for example ohio just raised the percentage of what is considered beer to allow microbrewers who brew beers with 9% and higher alcohol percentages to avoid ridiculous taxation. The thing about beer is that yeast is what converts the sugar to alcohol, and alcohol is toxic to yeast, so if you try to make a beer too strong, the yeast dies and your batch of beer goes to shit. Brewers have found ways around this, but it takes a lot of work, and the results are expensive and frequently don't taste good (and who the fuck is going to argue with drinking MORE beer?) so the standard percentages for the most widely drank american beers are as stated, but there are beers available that are much more (in canada you can get molson XXX which is 8.5 percent I believe...)

[swank]

An odd thing about me: I have not had a beer since I was 9. I didn't like beer, so I decided to not bother acquiring the taste for it. Now wine and liquor are different stories entirely. :beer:

[Nothing]

:BUMP:

red wine, red death, black hole, jack and coke, or so. co. and coke. cheap ill go for hard cider.

Z drinks beer... lots of it. :D wine makes him silly, its fun.

[Exarch]

at this point in the semester it is anything with alcahol in it. nyQuill, robutussin, beer (good or otherwise) 7&7, strait up jack, just as long as the end result is the same. :beer:

[drew23]

Patron Silver or Cabo Wabo Milenio :beer:
