Funny how the Scots and the Irish have taken over this thread.

As much Irish and German in me that I have, you'd think I'd be more of an alchy. Most of my family is!

Only when there's no vodka around. And with Dutch taxes I hardly ever drink real Bacardi... more like the budget kind of rum which tastes somewhat like Bacardi

I tend not to drink much in the way of imported liquor, really. Mostly whiskey, and as we all know, Irish whiskey is the only kind worth talking about.

The hubby makes something he calls a "car bomb". He pours whiskey into beer. How nasty is that?

Ew. Ew. Ew.
Could be worse, though. Ever have a cocktail made with Baileys? The cream curdles, no matter what you use.

Urp! I'm not very adventurous.

That's probably safer. The first time I started drinking Twisted Sisters, I ended up swinging off a British war memorial screaming the Soldier's Song (an Irish republican song, and the national anthem of the Republic) at around four in the morning. Stu and BC probably get the severity of this.

Indeed, not the smartest thing to do around Portadown if you still want knee caps.

I don't know how I got out alive.

I'm keeping it to brewed beverages on my part.

I've had Stella a few times now on tap, but it never really impresses me, but it doesn't offend me either. It's alright I guess but I'll usually order up something else.

Someone mentioned Italian Morretti I think. I kinda feel the same way about that as Stella, but I'd rank this one a notch higher. They serve this at a long time family owned Italian place here in Dayton, and it's pretty good on tap with a delicious meal.

Saw Goose Island in here somewhere too, they have some good brews, but like I said, I stay away from IPA's. The Summertime and Oktoberfests are good. And the oktoberfest should be out soon here.

Honey Brown is good stuff.

Most people I know think it's strange. Glad someone out there likes it too.

Sierra Nevada has that Summerfest, which is pretty good.. in the summer. The regular pale ale is okay, but I'll drink others before it.

Dos Equis if I'm eating mexican, tastes good on tap. Comes in a 32 ounce glass too for 3.50, 2.50 happy hour. :grin:

MGD and High Life if I want something easy and crisp. Bud products not welcomed.

One of my ultimate favorites is Vellas Helas, which I can only get when I'm in Gatlinburg TN. They have a local microbrewery there called Smoky Mountain Brewery. They got some really good recipes there. Also love their ThunderRoad.

That'd be me. I've never seen it outside of Italy, though.

Go here, http://www.morettibeer.com/, maybe you can find an importer near you.

I find lagers to be interchangable, Carling, Fosters, Heineken, Stella and Carlsberg are all just the same to me. As for pale ales, I quite like an Alexander Keiths but I dont think you can get that stuff outside Canada.

For some reason I cant drink bitter any more and haven't done since I was about 14.

They sell that in all the supermarkets. Good beer though.

On the subject of Stella. I am not allowed to drink it. They dont call it wife beater for nothing. I used to turn psycho after drinking it down.

Peroni gran Riserva is another great Italian beer. Better than the normal Peroni stuff. comes in about 7% as well

I don't drink beer. I'll only drink Jack and Coke and I chase it with Marlboro Reds.

by **The Happy Locust** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 8:20 pm

I can't stand most beers. Just something about the taste irks me. I can't even take a Brandy & Coke if I taste too much brandy. What I do like are Smirnoff Ice and Smirnoff Triple Black. I know, hardly a dangerous beverage, but I like it.

MMMmmmmmm... BASS Ale(or tequila)
Wait, for a mix drink I'll take a Long Island.

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 9:53 pm

I haven't had a drink in a little over eighteen months...

But my poison of choice was any of these:

Busch (can't beat a good, straightforward beer.)

Seagrams Wine Coolers (Bartles & Jaymes are watered down tasting.)

Mildew (Bacardi 151, Mountain Dew)

Woo Woo (1 1/2 oz peach schnapps 1 1/2 oz vodka 3 1/2 oz cranberry juice. Pour all ingredients into a highball glass over ice cubes, stir, and serve.)

Bacardi Silver

Mike's Hard Lemonade

Skyy Blue

Smirnoff Ice (and the Twisters...)

I know, most of those are considered girly drinks, but when you drink 'em at the volume I was....heh.

EDIT: Oooh. Post count reflects my birthday. 1980. Sweet.

Alright. You can get drunk on a relatively good tasting, but extremely cheap beer, for a lot less.

I've been drunk four times in my life, and each time got worse. Ohhh...

My last one....

I started off with two Mildews (shot of Bacardi 151, shot of Mountain Dew)

I then went onto doing two shots of Jägermeister, one shot of what they called a Pinkhouse (named for a regular customer there, and a co-worker of mine) which is two shots of Jäger, and one shot of Watermelon Schnapps.

I then went on to having a nice tall draft of Coors Light (rot gut, avoid it like the plague).

Now, being the genius that I am...I did all of this on a relatively empty stomach (I had just gotten off my shift with my other coworker) and I had all of these drinks in a 45 minute period.

....STUPID.

It didn't hit at first. It didn't hit gradually. I got home, and as I'm walking up the sidewalk, kinda stumbling....*WHAM* like a Mack truck with a load of Nitroglycerin. I was gone.

Laughing at the top of my lungs, 11:32 at night, dancing on the porch, I open the door and whispered (I.E. YELLED at the top of my lungs...you know how it is.) "Hey! Hey! Hey dad! I'm drunk! I went a bar (and yes, I said it just like that) and I drank...a lot. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

He went from zero to sixty in about 2.2, grabbed me by my coat's collar and said "In the van, now. NOW!"

He drove me to Burger King and said "Here, you're getting the biggest, strongest cup of black coffee they've got." It had been sitting on the warmer for most of the evening. (Oh yeah, you could taste it.)

By the time I got back home...I wanted so badly to vomit my shoes loose. I drank glass after glass of water (I'd say I drank as much water as I did Alcohol...or darn near close) my dad handed me two aspirins, which I took and after I urinated my kidneys loose...laid down.

I woke up the next morning, and wanted to vomit, couldn't vomit. Could even get the dry heaves....but that headache. Ooohhhh...that headache. Everytime I breathed...I almost came to tears.

That was my last time *ever* getting trashed. I won't even get tipsy anymore. If I drink again, it'll be one, perhaps two Wine Coolers and I'm done. I'm the designated driver 99% of the time, so I gotta be on my game and not DUI material.)

...oof...thinking of that headache makes my brain curl up in the fetal position.

Only time I really drink to get drunk the entire year is Oktoberfest in a small germanic town north of me. A town of 2,--- people hosts 80,000 people over one weekend. It's a hell of a bash. You buy beer by half gallon milk jugs. For some reason they think I need a cup with my jug. :-?

Cup goes in the trash, jug to my lips. Last year they reintroduced an old recipe from the 1800's of a brewer that was in the town but closed down due to prohibition, reopened and then promptly burnt down, and while being reopened, the owner died. Recipe was lost for a long time, but a copy of it resurfaced and they sent it to a brew house in Cincinnati to be brewed special for the Oktoberfest. They ordered 75 kegs of it for an entire weekend, and all of it was gone by 2pm Saturday afternoon, while Budweiser was still selling their crap by the boatload as well. A gallon and a half of the good stuff ended up split between me and my dad.

Needless to say, I spend the weekend stumbling. Made a great impression on my gf's mom the first year I took her along with us.

Went out to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight because they have Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap this month. Drank a tall one, left and decided I wanted some more so I stopped and got a six pack of it at the Spirits store. 5 different malts makes a hell of a beer. :grin:

Used to have a place here called Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers. Used to love going in there, had a cute waitress that remembered my order each time to the letter, and when she saw me come in, she'd go get me a frosty tall one of my favorite beer. Wouldn't even have to ask. That's service worth a good tip.

Cold Beer & Cheeseburgers is apparently still open for business, according to Google, and their website, with a coupon good 'til December 31st of this year.
