I don't drink beer, I stick with liquer, and mixed drinks and malt beverages.
Next quarter in school I gotta take bev I.D class so maybe I'll find some good wines I like...since I haven't really drank much wine.
My faves are rumple minze, burbon, and sake. They're kinda incompatible, so just pick one.
;) I was looking for particular brands.
I know what burbon and sake taste like already.
Maker's Mark, Gentleman Jack, & Bushmill's Irish whiskey are my personal favorites. Not too expensive (around $20 a bottle around here) but not rotgut shit either.
JM
I like vodka and mix it with LOTS of stuff or just by itself. I also like smirnoff triple x blacks.
I haven't had a beer in weeks. =(
Captain Morgan baby. Rum and cokes for everyone!
Beer wise I like Michelobe Ultra, Ying Ling (Lager is pretty good too), Red Stripe for a change of pace, and Corona (make sure to get the lime too).
Hell yes, the combination of Bacardi Spiced Rum and Coke is something unworthy of man.Quote:

Rule of thumb for hard liquior...don't by anything for less than $15 a bottle ;)
i'm a whisky & coke fan personally. Jack>Captain

Actually, it really has been one whole week today.Quote:

I can't stand wine. Wine blows. Whine is good, though. ;)

Prefer straight Vodka and Tequilia myself. *-neo

Don't forget to check around your area to see if there are any really kickass microbrews.
Michelob Amber Bock is the 2nd best beer I have ever had.
Black Jack Stout is the best.
I havent been drinking beer too much recently... I much prefer to carry a fifth of rum with me at all times.
Beer makes you fat, rum wrinkles your weiner.
My penis is doing fine.
give it a couple years.
: )
Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. Rum will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.
nah, weed will.Quote:

Southern Comfort (dont call it SoCo. thats gay) is also pretty good. Taste like shit, but after awhile youll like it. :)
I also recommend Smirnof Ice Triple Black. Girly beer of the gods.
Happy Birthday IP :)
IP, make sure you have the most awesome drink of them all: The Tom Collins.
And happy birthday, you old codger.
I agree. I used to drink a lot of that. One of the better american beersQuote:

Correct, but replace "asleep" with "passed out" and you're spot on.
Yeungling lager
Hurricane
Corona w/ Lime

I need to try it. Supposedly it tastes like piss, but I wasn't of age last time I was in PA. :)
I've only drank a few times and I'm pretty sure I'll never do it again but I was really into straight Citrus Vodka in my time. If you want to get wasted as hell that's the drink for you.
If you live in the right place, and know where to go, I suggest you atleast try Moonshine once in your lifetime. Believe me, unless your stomach is made of the hardest steel, once will be more than enough.
Laugh it up, buddy, as silly as "Ying Ling" is, you spelled Yuengling wrong as well.Quote:

Tried it before, Citrus Vodka seemed a lot harder to me. Personally I think all of it smells and tastes like puke though:PQuote:

Most of the time I stick to beers, cheap wine, cheap sake.

Vodka is my drink of choice. Shoots well, mixes well.
Also, Gin and Juice is the shit, though is a little girly.
Amber boc is the shit, yuengling is good (although the good party standard, so it gets tiring) Some sam adams is good. Anything + captain rules. (air is included in anything)
I've drank that stuff strait before, and man will it light you on fire. On little sip will light your mouth, ears, throat, stomach, and other various body parts up.Quote:

A cold-weather drink on its own, gin braces the senses and steels one's resolve (to talk to the girl at the bar or to face the day). When the climate changes and the sun comes out, tonic can be added to keep the heat at bay.
"Maker's Mark my only friend" - We drink so much of this that we have a quote for it every time we slam some.
Most of my other faves have been mentioned - Crown and Captain are obviously good mixing drinks. Grey Goose is a winner anyway you take it. But , God man stay away from the Tequila - that shit just never sits well with me :xx:
I dont usually like Jager too much , but I had my first uh.... 8 or so Jager Bombs last week and they tasted damn good - ( Jager and Red Bull)
Oh and you owe it to yourself to make your first drink a " 3 Wiseman" . Dont ask whats in it , just walk up in a bar ,ask for it, and throw it back.You'll thank me later :evil:
Invest in a flask and bring it with you whenever you go out. They are the most underated invention of all time. Carry Jager in it. Then you'll never be sober when you don't want to be again.
If I wrote a book on the art of getting drunk, that would be chapter #1.
Hate to resurrect an older thread, but I wanted to post the following good drinks and what brands people prefer with them, in addition to new suggestions.
Here's what I like.
1) Snakebite - w/Maker's Mark whiskey.
2) Rocky Mountain Bear Fucker - w/Stroh 60 rum if they have it (you have to badger a bartender to use a darker rum like Stroh), Captain Morgan Gold if not. The whiskey and tequila don't really matter.
3) Tom Collins - w/Tanqueray.
4) Hennessy & Coke - preferably X.O., but V.S. will do.
5) Liquid Cocaine (shot) - the bartender is not supposed to use speeed rack liquor on this
6) Irish Car Bomb
Any suggestions, changes?
I like Tom Collins most of all. It is the Lord of mixed drinks.
Overall, though, not a big fan of mixed drinks though. I dont like vodka and I dont like Jack and Coke and shit like that. That stuff's just generic weakshit.
As for shots I like Jaegermeister and soco w/ lime.
As for beer, Bass Ale.
Oh, and anyone who drinks Smirnoff is a fag.
You should try Liquid Cocaine if you haven't. It's got Jager, Goldschlager and 151 in it. Hehe. The Rocky Mountain one is the second best to Tom. I just listed them out of order. I don't think anything I drink has vodka in it. Vodka doesn't add any taste for me. This thread is essential for St. Patty's Day, by the way.Quote:

Okay - yeah thats whats in a 3 Wisemen too - Hell of a way to start out a night by taking one of those. Last time I blacked out I had 3 of those.And those three will put you in the zone to the point that you can throw back ANYTHING the rest of the night. But when you wake up by God you're gonna feel it. Woke up on the floor outside my hotel room ( apparently too fucked up to use the little credit card key).Quote:

Damn, putting anything better than VS in coke is just a stupid waste of money. If it's more expensive than $25/fifth, 98% of the time, you should mix it with ice and that's it.
Good to see a lot of Tom Collins respect. The first mixed drink I ever tasted was a Tom Collins, I was pretty young at the time, and it just kind of stuck with me, I guess. Good stuff.
A lot of my friends from high school who I'll be seeing over spring break are pissing me off. We've been planning our alcohol stash for the week, and one of my best friends wants Mike's Hard Lemonade and shit. Says he doesn't like beer.
I plan on loading up on Guinness anyway, and if he has a problem, he doesn't have to drink it. His loss, I guess.
Booze, drugs, and smokes are cheaper at home... I should stock up for the return trip.
haha.
what is this jagermeister? I see all the Americans rant about it.
Fuck him. Do not let him drink that bullshit in your presence. My roommate actually has ZIMA in the fridge... I lost ALL respect I had for him.Quote:

How can you not like beer and have a penis at the same time? I dont get it.
Just hook up a keg of Bass Ale to my vein and I will be good to go... at least until the keg empties.
I dunno what it is... but it's good stuff.Quote:

Have you ever tried it?Quote:

As for Jagermeister, I remember someone trying to tell me what it was after we had a good deal of it, and I'm not sure what the fuck he was talking about, nor do I think he even knew. Some kind of herbal liquor. Whatever. Good stuff.
Also a fan of Wild Turkey.
Dunno. My sister's friend acquired it somehow, it came with a slotted-spoon and all. It's not illegal in Australia, I just think it's restricted or something so only licensed people can import it. Therefore it's fucking expensive, like $80.00 for 700mls expensive.
EDIT: $73 at VintageCellars.com.au
Soco is not my shot of choice, after you throw up your lungs out from shots of it, the candy flavor is never quite the same.
For girl drinks, my favorites are definitely the White Russian and the Toasted Almond.

Drinks that are more than slightly sweet are girl drinks - the Dude was a piece of shit alcoholic who drank girl drinks, which is why he was cool. Doesn't mean that'll work for you if you start drinking girl drinks. Calliander, you haven't ever actually put XO cognac in coke, have you? 6 years of drinking around me and you've got the alcohol tastes of a freshman frat boy.
XO in cognac is a stupid waste of money - everyone ought to know that you can't taste the difference between $10 and $100 liquor when you cover it up with soda. People who put high end cognac/whiskey in coke or expensive gin in tonic are assholes.
Wild Turkey is good. The company makes a couple of $30-$40 bourbons that are even better, like Rare Breed. I think bourbon offers the most complexity for the dollar amongst all of the major brown liquors. The high proof ones are good, almost numbing.
90% of Absinthe's 'effect' comes from it being 130 proof. The other 10% comes from some chemical, thujone, which is related to THC. It tastes like licorice. The liquor is too much of an art fuck thing for me to drink.
DiffusionX - Musso and Frank Grill on Hollywood makes good Tom Collinses.

Is that an expensive place? You've only taken me to Taix and Taylor's, and Taylor's made a damned good Tom.Quote:

Oh yeah - I've never had Southern Comfort, but it's always had a sort of strong, tough association in my head. When did it become all pussified? "I'll have a SoCo and lime! And a penis to stir it with! Tee hee!" Was Southern Comfort always this wimpy?
Musso and Frank was about $175 last time I went there (3 people total, no wine, but 6 drinks), yeah. I wouldn't go back there again to eat, but the drinks are good, about $6-$8/piece - we should all go sometime.
Musso and Frank's is class. Manny and I go way back.
The sidecars are choice. A lot of the menu almost seems like a joke, though - who would go there and spend $15 on the "low-calorie plate"?
I stopped drinking hard liquor as it made me do... things. now it's just the occasional beer or glass of wine. sometimes I'll have a neat scotch or rye, but I only drink at meals now, not to get drunk. definately.

I'm not a fan of mixed drinks, but I like tequila and ginger ale with a lime. I have no idea if it's actually got a name. Tates pretty damn good, though. I generally use Sauza Hornitos, but I suppose Stone would call me an asshole for it. It's great to shoot, too, although if I'm getting drunk I'm gonna go with Jose cause it's alot cheaper.
Mainly I stick to beer, though.
Tequila and ginger ale? Could be a Tequila Bom-Bom. The name leaves something to be desired. No lime. And I don't know if you pound yours on the table first for (freshman year) entertainment, then guzzle it. :rolleyes:Quote:

Good ginger ale isn't that sweet. Ginger ale and rye is a good drink - Babe Ruth used to drink gallons of it. Ginger ale and Pimm's Cup makes a Pimm's cup, which is a great drink.
Best typo ever. I just have this image of someone taking a drink and then everybody around them falling down, cut in half, simultaneously. :lol:Quote:
