Drink of Choice

[rwh11385]

Having beers and drinks at the bar with your friends is much more fun and enjoyabe than just getting trashed at parties, if you ask me.

big parties are the suck. packed bars are the suck. bars' expensives are the suck.

hanging out with a group of good friends and some girls, killing a few cases at beer pong or sipping on your own drinks is where it is at. could possibly happen at a bar, but i love the laid back drinking with friends and small get together or functions, etc.


I'm with Ken. We're the experts, so believe us. But I think they taste like shit.

Beer makes me feel warm and special on the inside. If I'm doing liquor, shots of whatever seem to work.

[fretburnr]

i'm all about whiskey.

jack/makers mark on the rocks... old standard jack n' coke... i keep some Single Barrel here at home stashed deep...

check this out, just came to learn about this a few weeks ago... jack on the rocks, and add just a splash of Sprite. i thought it sounded bad, but surprisingly it was most excellent - scary though as it simply removes most of the whiskey burn and makes it a devil drink.

beer? Warsteiner ftw.

You speak the truth. Warsteiner is a tasty beverage.

[Victell]

vodka tonics lately

Actually that's not even close to an Irish Car Bomb. I'm not sure what the F that is. Some sort of german/irish hybrid.

Irish Car Bomb:
1/2 Pint of Guiness
1 shot glass: 1/2 Bailey's + 1/2 Jamison Irish Whiskey

The directions are the same.

You got it. Pretty damn good too.

I don't really drink hard-a much, so I don't have a favorite drink, but I like my drink to have some kick to it when I do.

As for beer:
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Wheat Beer
A Good Hefeweizen
Guinness

Preferably a 1:1 mix of Red Bull and Jagermeister. Straight Jager will do, it builds character.

When I feel like putting in the extra effort, I have yet to make a White Russian that I didn't like. And I believe that Dark and Stormy's will ultimately be my preferred ride on the road to alcoholism.

Warsteiner? Are you serious? I guess I'm just spoiled as Portland, OR is the microbrew capitol of the world.

Microbrews, Meh.

Before Prohibition, Cincinnati was the Brewing capital of the Country due to the large German population.

The microbrew thing came and went here years ago. There were several local ones and quite a few up the road in Columbus.

We do have the Munich Hofbrauhaus here now. Now that is good stuff, and an awesome place to go with a big group, eat like a pig and drink yourself silly. I think they have them in Vegas and St. Louis now, too.

what kind of lime "juice" do you use for vodka and lime? would just regular lime pop do the trick or should it be lime juice?
