Alcohol is Fun! Favourite Liquors?

Well, I haven't been this "under the influence" in a while. This topic has probably come up 143 times by now, but I don't care D )I just wanted to see what the forum members thought as their favorite alcohol.

Beer: German St. Pauli's Girl Special Dark and Jever (has a very delicious nutty taste to it)

Hard Liquor: Gotta say Vodka, any brand, its all good. Jaegermeister is supreme as well!

Wine: Any single bottle will due for me!

Absinthe is way up there on my list, but, unfortunantely, it happens to be not only out of my price range, but also out of my legality as well

 

for me a tequila 1800 añejo

 

Cherry 7-UP.

 

I don't drink alcohol. Why not? Because I don't like the taste of it.

"But Roel, surely you haven't tried all alcoholic beverages out there?"
No, that's true. What I have had, I didn't like. Why go on searching if there's so many other things to drink that don't have alcohol in them? As a positive side effect, not drinking alcohol means never getting drunk and lowering yourself to a standard outside of yourself.

 

People are gonna start thinking that we are the same person Roel.

I also claim years of being the only sober person among drunk people. While very good fun, it has convinced me not to bother.

I now have an even better excuse, anyway. Mrs Ricky has a liver condition & cannot drink alcohol. Or Grapefruit .

 

Personally I do enjoy a few drinks.

Beers, at the moment Tesco do a good beer, I even prefer it to Bud Ice which until recently was my preferred regular beer. Actually my prefered beer which I occasionally drink is Kronenburg Cru, but it costs £2 a bottle from the shops, so it's an occasional treat.

I generally prefer Cider to beer, in which case I drink Strongbow.

Spirits wise, my favourite is Smirnoff Blue. If I'm drinking a good vodka I don't add mixers or ice, I prefer to be able to taste the flavour. If it's a cheap vodka, then I might add cola, lemonade or something similar (Usually in about 50/50 ratios).

I do enjoy most of the alcopops, but as most of them are vodka based anyway it's usually cheaper and much more interesting to just buy a cheap vodka and a selection of fizzy/soft drinks.

I'm not a great Whisky/Whiskey drinker, I don't like Bourbon, I will drink Scotch or Irish whisky but I prefer Smirnoff.

Same for Brandy, it's alright but give me a bottle of Mr Smirnoff's finest any day.

There aren't many drinks I don't like, I haven't tried Absinthe so I can't comment on that. The one that surprised me was Blavod Black Vodka (Not Black Label, this stuff was black in colour!) it was so disgusting that I poured half a bottle away, I just couldn't drink it.

We have an unopened bottle of 1945 Benedictine, this will be saved for special occasions!

 

just give me a good London dry gin and you won't hear me complaining (more like singing if we are halfway the night )
as for beer, just give me a good belgium beer like "Palm", "stella artois", "Jupiler" (hey, i'm from belgium so it's my right to promote our beers )

 

Good call, Quillin. Gin is not one of my regular favourites, but it is good.

Personally I can't drink Stella, it always gives me a headache. 20 bottles of almost any beer will give me a headache the next morning, but just one small bottle of Stella will give me a headache within about half an hour.

 

Guinness Extra Cold
good cognac ( or if it's brandy then put soda in it)
pastis
and either a very good dry red wine or a dirt-cheap barrel-scraping dry red. (The sort that makes you think the carpet-fitters have been at work on your tongue after half a glass)
But never too much.

 

Guiness, Stella, a little bit of whiskey, Carling, Carlsburg

 

My favourite drink I can get here easily is Malibu either with coke or on its own.

If I'm drinking beer I like anything that doesn't have a chemically taste. I love Guiness and when I was pregnant I had cravings for it. Bit of a bummer really considering drinking alcohol when pregnant isn't a good idea.

I don't like whisky or brandy either to drink or the negative effect it has on some people.

My favourite drink that I have ever tasted is strawberry corn that Simon had from when he lived in Germany. Yummy yum yum!! Shame I can't get it in England, but probably just as well. :lol:

 

Guinness isn't alcohol, it's sustenance :lol: Plenty of iron.

 

Beer and Vodka, in any form or brand.

FNG

 

Ah, good choice chap. Vodka is an easy drink, although with the hangover I had earlier, maybe I shouldn't say that. :lol:

I think I wanna go hurl just reading that!

I have heard of a Cannabis flavoured Vodka, I'm gonna order that next time I got $70 to blow.

Good old Phillips, been a staple for my friends and I quite some time. Goes great with Mountain Dew. I can say that I've never gotten sick of gin, however, its a much different story for my friends

What, like the smokable form? :lol:

 

The one I always wanted to try but have never been able to track down was a special batch of vodka made using Ice cores taken from the North Pole that had been frozen for 250,000 years. It was mentioned on day time TV, and unfortunately I can't remember the brand or anything else about it .

As for Mrs Toastinator, actually her favourite drink is whatever I happen to be drinking, doesn't matter what it is or where it is, for some reason best known to herself she will always make a bee-line for my glass! :angry:

 

Drinking age here is 19 , but a lot of people in the middle and high schools still drink.

I have a friend in Belgium and she says shes old enough to drink and shes barely a year older than me.

 

Sorry CSP I don't know how old you are but I wouldn't be too quick have too much to drink if I were you.. :lol:

I know we have all done the 'head down the toilet' thing at one time or another but believe me it ain't nice.

The real art of having alcohol and enjoying yourself is knowing when too stop.

Blimey, I sound like somebodies Mother!!

 

STELLA
