The Boozers Thread

I actually did not drink until I was 21. For some reason I just never felt like it. Then i decided to give it a shot. I really like it because it is the only time I really let my self run wild. I will pretty much drink anything but I prefer gin and tonic.
 
i drink daily. the only times i don't drink early is if i'm going to work (and sometimes i will drink at work--THANK YOU NEARBYE KOREAN LIQUOR STORE), or if i'm going to the gym. if that be the case, i wait until i'm done trying to run in place or lift weights before i innebriate myself...it just seems safer that way.

i'm not a drunk, but only because i have a weak stomach. but i do love to drink. whiskey is my hard alchohol of choice. Bourbon, mostly. but also Irish whiskeys. I love Jim Beam and Bulleit Bourbon. Jameson and Tullamore Dew are good to sip on, but the darker whiskeys usually get poured with Coca-Cola. I dislike Jack Daniel's for two reasons 1) it taste like ass. 2) as Buzzcat pointed out, J.D. has lowered their alcohol content without making it public, but continues to raise the price. it also has the balls to proclaim they still use mr. Daniel's original recipie (ooh boy, that is spelled wrong) and distilling methods. LIES!!! CORPORATE LIES!!!

i love beer. all kinds of beer. cheap beer and fine beers. foreign and domestic. i'm drinking PBR right now and also tend to drink Budwiper. i'll only drink Coors Light at my Brother-in-law's house because i want to be a gracious guest. i also like to buy micro-brews and fancy-schmancy European selections. one of my favorites is a New York based Belgium-style ale called OMMEGANG. good stuff, man.

i like Gin rather than Vodka. (a Non-Gin martini is A NON-MARTINI!) i like gin and tonics with lime, especially.

i don't drink rum, usually. its mean to me. i do like the Sailor Jerry brand...tastes kinda fruity and goes down smoothe. it mixes well with Coca-Cola (never pepsi, godammit) and you can shoot it or enjoy it on the rocks...christ, i sound like a fucking commerical.
they also have cool t-shirts at their website. anyways...

red wines? not a huge fan. unless of course we're talking South Australian Shirazs. I LOVE that shit. cheap or pricy, Shiraz is definately my wine of choice. all other wines are so bland and dull by comparison. it can make for a mean hangover, but has more flavor than most wines i've tried. i don't know shit about "bodies" or "bouquets" or "grapes", but i do know what i like, and it starts with an SH and ends with an IRAZ.

oh man...i think i need to take a nap.
 
Hey marqcoig, firstly, welcome. Secondly, if you like red wines like Shiraz, the ones with some spice and kick, go out of your way TODAY and find a bottle of Pinotage.
Sometimes you can only find a Shiraz/Pinotage blend or Cab Sauv/Pinotage blend. They'll suffice. So long as there's Pinotage in it. Talk about a tastebud wallop. Great shit.

The pinotage is a south African grape.

A while ago I had my first tequila-lemon-salt since 30 years.
Only the downtown camera's and the neighbors know how I made it home.

Bad stuff, bad taste.
 
I bought a bottle of seagrams crown royal the night that my son was born (1981) and stashed it away. we opened it on the night of his 21st birthday and toasted his coming of legal age.
your son's my age. i didn't start drinking till i was 25/26. vodka & sprite, rum & coke, long island iced tea, mojitos, black russian, white russian, mai tai, sambuca shots, no beer [except shandy]. i picked up that bottle and have never put it down. the only thing that keeps me in check is my liver and anxiety attacks. those things come at me like mad bulls. otherwise, i'm hot for alco-hol. best drug ever. caution: never mix that special 'truffle-chocolate' we have here in Cambodia with alcohol. if you do, never shut your eyes. that concoction spins the shit out of your damn head!
