What (ALCOHOLIC!) drinks do you like?

[Mister Pink]

 

I'm a beer fanatic and an avid drinker of micro-brews. I tend to lean towards the darker stronger ales, but i like the odd stout and pilsner too. We have a couple great local brewers in my city; Mill St, Flying Monkey, Amsterdam, Steamwhistle, etc so it seems like every week there's something new to try out.

 

Innis and Gunn is also a fav, sh*t tastes like candy.

 

When it's not brews it's usually a nice Gin and Tonic or Scotch on the rocks. I'm far from a connoisseur but I do enjoy me some jameson and glenfiddich.

Jameson is my favourite Whiskey, Glenfidditch is nice too. However, it's cheaper to buy a bottle of Jameson in other European countries than my own (Ireland) which is a pain since it's fecking made here.

 

The micro-brewry beers and ales are really kicking off here. There's plenty of them on offer. People are sick of being sold the same old bland and tasteless sh*t like Heinneken and Carlsberg. Micro-brewry beers have a nice kick, taste much fresher or something. I'm glad there's more choice and competition and people are enjoying it.

 

As for that I love a G&T and other pints I drink are Guinness mainly. I can drink Guinness all day. Sometimes, when I'm in the city centre you can smell them making the Guinness right across Dublin City Centre. Mmmmh.

I have only drank twice in my entire life. First one was whiskey, second one was beer. Both tasted like AIDS to me.

 

How does one get to have that drunk feeling anyway? Never had that before. The drinks just tasted like any other drinks to me.

You have to drink more than a sip hey. I don't think anyone actually likes the taste of liquor at first, its something that grows on you. Ill drink most anything so its easier to list what I dislike more than I like. I cant f*cking stomach white wine, champagne, ouzo, gin and curacao. Nasty sh*t. Also f*ck light beer, whats the point?

As a resident of Manchester, England I only have to walk 10 foot to my kitchen - turn the cold water tap on - and I'm drinking this...

 

 

...that's Thirlmere in England's Lake District National Park. The water is transported 96 miles along the Thirlmere Aqueduct to Manchester, and makes up our water supply. Without doubt the best drink that has ever quenched my thirst.

Being from Wiltshire, I'm a cider fan, not the cheap sh*t like White Lightning though. Outside my town there's a farm where they make real dry cider, it's truly delicious.

Generally I don't like fizzy alcohol as it makes me feel sick, but I do enjoy a Stella or Peroni.

Anyone tried Desperados? It's beer, tequila and lemon.

I approve.

[Dale Nixon]

Mostly anything alcohol, but beer is like continous blood - as the great Buk said - and whiskey and vodka and rum and rakija and wine and absinthe are all good.

[WedgeAntilles]

Wine, wine and more wine

[Outcast]

My family drinks so much we buy hundreds of bottles straight from the distillery. 50 cases of 50 Year Old Single Malt. Works out to about £1500 per case. We also drink a lot of cognac from Camus. So much that we have a standing invitation from the Camus family to visit their chateau in France.

 

I've also had a lot of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, we tend to crack open a case for New Years. Not a big fan of wine at all though.

Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino, i'm kinda addicted to it..

Dry martini

 

 

I also don't object to a good dry wine

I like lemon and lime flavored soda, but I also like others such as Coke and Pepsi. I mostly like drinking flavored energy drinks (not plain ones such as Red Bull); my favorite is a lime flavored one.

 

I don't drink alcoholic stuff anymore. Last time was last new year's when I decided to never drink again because I realized how awkward (and a lot of times sick) it made me feel. I don't see the fun in being in a state like that.

[Finn 7 five 11]

 

I used to mostly drink straight vodka and get f*cked up every time haha, For some reason though only very recently Vodka makes me gag when I drink it, But I still supplement my other drinks with shots of it just to get me going, I hate buying 7-10 drinks in an afternoon/night of drinking and not really getting very drunk, it feels like a waste of dosh otherwise.

 

Now however I mostly (When going pubbing/clubbing) have Gin & tonic, it's incredibly refreshing, slightly bitter, but nice, and it's a sneaky way to get drunk, not a real strong smell, looks just like water and is served in a water-like glass, and you can't really taste the alcohol unless you've had a gin and tonic before.

 

 

 

I also enjoy a Kahlua with milk on occasion, but it gets boring fast, it's not a drink you can keep drinking, plus the milk probably does not do wonders for the cocktail mixing in your stomach, I almost never ever ever puke unless I force myself to so I don't choke in my sleep, but I would rather keep the record clean, na mean?

 

 

 

I'm not really a fan of beer much though, i'll drink it, but it's not that great, later on in the night i'll take one to slow down a little, and if I do it'll be one of these below, nothing exciting, just your average sh*tty tasting Australian beer. (Why does ours taste so bad?)

 

 

 

 

 

KC TEA! Hennessy and sprite, it's f*cking brilliant to drink at a house party if you can mix it up while you're there, this is a Beauty, pubs charge 12-15 bucks for it though so I almost never buy it out.

 

I really like liquer as well, but it's expensive (At the club anyway) and sometimes difficult to obtain so I don't usually bother, lime is always nice though.

^stronger than Coke and Pepsi.

Oh, on a side note, I am very partial to Coors Light. I love Coors Light so much, it's like sparkling water with a little bit of alcohol in it.

I do enjoy a good cider, more of "have a bottle with my dinner" drink than a "go out and get smashed on it" one.

 

I usually end up buying Desperados once I've had a few whiskies or rum and cokes. Slice of lime in the top and you're good to go.

 

I change up a bit, but mostly drink; Kraken or Sailor Jerry's rums, Jack Daniels or Jamesons whiskies, partial to Bud and Bud 66 if the night is just a few beers around a mates house. Been starting to like Jeremiah Weed Sour Mash brew; tastes good but not the ideal drink to get yourself out the gate on, takes quite a few to get going. Most pub nights do tend to start however with a shot of Jamesons and a half pint of Fosters as a chaser, then moving on to Kraken or Sailor Jerry's interspersed with a Desperado's or a Jeremiah Weed.

Yeah, fight the system! Guys, look at this badass over here, fighting the man, the man will never get Dale Nixon down. Dude, you're so cool and hardcore and edgy, can I have your autograph?

 

So, to you UK folks, how good is Strongbow? I've only ever had Woodchuck which I adore, but I've been wanting to try new ciders, though, in the midwest, aside from Woodchuck, cider is a bit scarce. A local bar has Strongbow on tap (the only place in the city with any kind of cider on tap, though it might not be Strongbow and instead a locally brewed brand, not sure), but I haven't been there in ages and I was wondering if it's worth it.

I've never had Woodchuck so I can't really compare, but Strongbow is really good. It has a sweet taste and goes down smooth, always better to get a longneck (40oz?) of Strongbow than of beer.

I used to take a flask of that with me when I went birdwatching when I lived in Germany. Really warms you up on a cold day.

I've never quite understood why people go to some tacky bar and waste a sh*tload of money on drinks to "get wasted lol".

 

I mean seriously, one you're going to some sh*tty place, spending a lot of money on some drink that tastes like a rat shat in it, then stumbling around screaming, smashing things, ruining your clothes and thinking it's fun?

 

I really don't get it. Why can't you all just drink tropical juice like I do. It's cheaper, healthier, doesn't turn you into an obnoxious prick and it actually tastes nice.

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, and I drink tropical juice and diet coke. It has to coke or pepsi though, the home brand sainsbury's sh*t tastes horrible.

I dont like drinking much unless Im out trying to pull then its good for confidence. I had half a bottle of wine last night and played skyrim and it was very chilled out. I think Wine is the only alcoholic drink I actually like along with some ciders.

Yeah, everyone who drinks alcohol drinks it in place of juice, good call. Where would we be without you?

 

I don't know about the rest of you, but when I drink I tend to turn into the nicest, most sociable motherf*cker this side of Mr. Rogers. I throw out compliments like I'm giving away free candy.

[Clem Fandango]

I'm not sure how anyone interpreted the OP has an invitation to lecture people about drinking. And posting "lol diet coke and tea" was funny the first time, but it's getting old.
