alcoholic beverages

[stripey tiger]

Beer or wine?Have finished work n consumed a glass of something thats like paint stripper yeuch! A perfect end to a rubbish day! Wots the alcohol like over your way?

[CowboyHippy]

anything and everything over here

I'm allergic to hops so that rules out most beer, and the ones that i can drink i dont because they taste an awful lot like beer, which revolts me anyway.

I do however like vodka, grey goose and skyy mostly, If i drink a lot of that i am the funniest guy at the party, till they find me sleeping in the bathtub.

if i need to behave i stick to the fruity malt beverages, bacardi watermelon..there's a nifty grape one...tastes great, but i can't phisically consume enough to get drunk.

My sister makes wine, not the most flavorful stuff, but still tastes good, quite sweet and she kicks it out about 19% alcohol.

Wine, not wine cooler type wine. Real wine but sweet ones. I live near the fingerlakes wine country so there are many local wineries around that are great. Bully hill or Rasta Ranch are my 2 fav's if you ever get the chance try them.

My # 1 fav is southern comfort. Love it. Mixed with pinapple juice or sometimes cranberry or on the rocks.

Not much of a beer fan, but I do like a few home brews, Ithaca Brewery has some good ones too. I used to love Honey brown but cant stand it now.

WINE!!! Sirah, Shiraz, Malbec even Merlot. I really dig a wine buzz.

I'm not a drinker at all, but I'll have a couple beers or glasses of wine from time to time. I'm a HUGE beer fan, haha... maybe that's why I quit drinking/getting drunk. But I really love wine. High-alcohol sweet wines, mostly... strawberry/raspberry is my favourite. Cognac is another weakness.
The fiance is currently working on "quitting" (in the same sense - never drinking to get drunk) so we drink a fair bit of wine, now. I figure, it's much better for you and we don't go ridiculous and get drunk at all, so it's better than a huge beer binge every weekend.... but we still like our beer. We're just ridiculously thankful for non-alcoholic... Molson and Labatt, of course. Alcoholic HAS to be Kokanee (considering, it's brewed here) or Bud, though.
:cheers:

Irish car bombs, Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan and Fireball are the real reasons I quit drinking, haha.

I live a few miles from the Sierra Nevada brewery. I like the pale ale, celebration ale (seasonal) is very good as well. The brewery is also an excellent concert venue as well. Concert beside the copper kettles hmmm....

Oh god not Natty ice, lol.

We used to drink that in highschool. Natural ice, its got a high alcohol content and super cheap.

I'm a big beer drinker. I live in Wisconsin, that should explain it. I drink mostly light beer, but 2 of my favs are Rolling Rock and Spotted Cow. Rolling Rock got sold to Anheuser-Busch. They say they're going to keep the same recipe, but since they won't be brewing it in Latrobe anymore, i'm not sure it will taste the same, recipe or not because it's being brewed in glass lined tanks in Latrobe.

Another drink i've been liking alot lately is Southern Comfort with diet root beer. Yum!

you see I don't drink to get drunk...at all. Me and drunk don't mix. So drinking the cheap shit is just a total waste of time for me. I don't think I've been drunk in 2 or more years.

For me drinking is a real pleasure. I like to go out to dinner, have a top shelf coctail, a couple nice glasses of wine with dinner, and usually espresso after, but if I'm with the right people I may get some sort of liquer like nuchello or something like that. I may walk out with a buzz, but never drunk. I really enjoy the high quality. To me drinking the cheap shit is like eating a chuck steak. Why do it when for $1.00 more you can at least get a sirloin.

I'm also very adventureous in my drinking. When I go to the beer store (lots in the city) I usually spend at least half my budget on things I have never tried. I may love it, I may hate it, but at least I've tried it.

Exactly! So many don't get it - the difference between shit booze and quality is like night and day. I love to try something new whenever possible and try not to let $$ get in the way (within reason).
