Wednesday Alcoholic Thread

Alright, well, Thursday.

So, what's your poison?

Mine's Tequila Rose: http://www.corby.ca/images/L50.jpg

Can a drink look much more gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But this ain't no pansy-asp liqueur, it's got Tequila ferpetesake!

The boys came over to play, so we drank what I had in the fridge. Started with the Sam Adams, finished off the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, then graduated to Bigfoot.

Mmmmmm. Damn that's sh!t's tasty. But that sh!t will fock you up. Needless to say, it was a fun band practice. :D

Sick as a freekin dog. Head cold, chest cold.

Can't sleep.

I'm flyin on a Robitussin and Vox buzz.

Outside temperature below 70 deg F: Johnny Walker Red

Outside temperature above 70 deg F: Mount Gay Rum & Tonic

Wine with dinner: always

I don't drink nearly as much beer as I used to...probably because I don't go out as much.

I'm a Baileys-on-the-rocks girl. Nothing like a couple shots of Baileys and a nice cozy fire in the woodstove to help me relax.

Last summer I drank a lot of Smirnoff Raspberry Vodka. You can mix that stuff with anything and it'll taste good. My favourite was to mix it with ginger-ale. Made the ginger-ale taste like Cream Soda only not as sweet. Mmmmmm. I also drank a lot of coconut rum mixed with pineapple and mango juice. The juice makes it good for you. :)

I drink a bit of this and that...anything from imports to dirt cheap drafts...I also like vodka tonics and whiskey...don't drink enough of either to be real picky, especially if they're mixed, but some Bushmills with a bit of seltzer on ice is tasty.

But, one of my favorite beers, which I had a few of recently would have to be Paulaner Hefe-Weizen

This has been my drink of choice for a few years now

In warmer weather, I like vodka lemonade. Simple, delicious and refreshing.

Right now, I'm liking Sam Adams' Octoberfest. Yum! And wine...lots of wine...especially big-value reds from south of the equator. And the occasional single-malt, preferrably The MacAllan.

And with the holidays coming, it'll be time to resurrect my own special creation, The Borzoi...chocolate milk, vodka and Amaretto on the rocks. Much better than it sounds.

When the old Coors IV drip ain't getting it done, I like an occasional shot of:

I have a 6 of Mich in the fridge. First beer I ever got drunk on. It's been several years since I've had a Michelob and that first drink took me back to the dorms in 1988. Amazing. Not that it's any great beer or anything, but stil..

We got some spiced rum and Pina Colada mix. Haven't quite got it right but they were yummy nonetheless.

Right now the dj on the college radio station of Cleveland State is having an all-Bob Mould show. It's been fun to listen to. He's in town tonight and I'm going! It's been roughly 14 years or so since I've seen Bob play, it should be interesting.

NP: "Up in the Air" by Husker Du

Alcohol had directly and indirectly affected my life as I know it.

I do not like Vodka or Scotch or Gin or any of those Yaeger things or Baileys or anything like that.

I do like Jose Cuervo margaritas and Bacardi and Coke.

I also like good "light" beers, i.e. not "dark" beers. Modelo Especial, Michelob, Molsen Golden, stuff like that I like.

How much do you guys drink?

When my wife and I toured England and Scotland I made it a point to try the various scotch whiskys (and there's hundreds, both single malt and blended) and the Lagavulin struck me as being better than most. I think I ended bringing back a dozen or so different kinds in the small 5 cl bottles (airplane size bottles I like to call them). Some of the single malts that I remember:

Lagavulin
Dalwhinnie
Glenlivet
Laphroaig (deep color, smokey peety taste)
Talisker
Sheep Dip

I'm no connoisseur but I enjoyed trying the various kinds of scotch available.

Anyway, my drink of choice for many years now is Bacardi Silver mixed with Coca Cola. Sometimes with a twist of lime.

I also enjoy a good gin and tonic. I use Tanqueray exclusively for this.

My beer of choice would be Guinness or any other dark beer as long as it's good tasting.

The latest addition to the fridge:

Hop Wallop

I'll be searching out some Brooklyn Chocolate Stout this weekend along with Wexford Cream Ale. I might just pick up a few bottles of Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale if I'm tempted as well.

Bill

well, I just moved in with my girlfriend in va, and since I'm just out of college and am looking for a job, I was very excited to finally find a store around here that sells 40s of Colt 45 to go with the pabst I've been drinking. I've also been drinking a bottle of Elijah Craig 12 year bourban on the rocks that she got me as a house warming gift. Soon I'll be building a bar in the basement, and that first paycheck is going to stocking that with my stuff: Some spiced rum, JD, Jim Beam, and some beer for the mini fridge. I was out in Colorado for a month, so I was kinda pampered with micro-brews, so I'll have to see what's over here.

yea, I really liked pretty much all of the victory beers I tried, my favorite by far though is the hop devil. Tasty stuff.

Especially good when it's 6 deg F outside...
Gotta love the names Canadians give their beers too...

Lol...one thing I've learned...beer drinkers are fussier than music lovers, movie-goers, and audiophiles all put together....

Me...I drink anything that's cold.

Except Bud light...bleeechh!!!

I like:

Saranac Pale Ale
Most flavors of Sam Adams (currently digging on the Cherry Wheat)
Guinness (when I'm in the mood for a beer that heavy)
Magic Hat (No. 9 is my fave, but they don't have anything undrinkable)
The occassional homebrewed Brooklyn Brown Ale, Honey Porter, or Chocolate Stout
When I want something light...maybe Yvengling or Corona
A nice solid red wine...some recent vintages from Australia are good

I treat alcohol beverages like an indulgence, not something to just get wasted on like many of my peers insist on doing, so I don't have time for that pi<a>sswater crap. Though I'm still far from a beer conoisseur, like many of you guys are. ; P

Can't say...I've never tasted suntan lotion. :p

But I do find that everytime I smell suntan lotion, I get the urge to drink. :D

Well, then, you haven't lived.

They really need to invent an edible suntan lotion, though.

And in answer to how much/often do I drink -- hardly any, and hardly ever. Seriously, once in a blue moon, and it only takes me a shot or two to get buzzed.

. . . unless you live in a red state :rolleyes:

I like getting drunk. Being drunk sucks so no drinks fer me, just beer.

NP: Pinback - Summer In Abaddon ( for the third time today :) )

Martinis - dry & classic with extra olives - my wintry/ late-fall drink of choice.

Also, Darren H's list of single malt scotches makes me drool.

Better, yet....... add a cuban cigar to the above mix & I have a concoction that just borders on the sweet side of nirvana.

Romeo'y' Julietta #2
Cohiba Robusto
Bolivar Numero 2
El Rey Del Mundo Churchill...........are all favourites, not to be missed.

As for beer:
Guinness in Winter and Stella Artois, anytime of the year does it for me.

Time for a cold Stella,
Bill :P
