Finally of age!!! Beverage suggestions?

[BiggusDickus]

FWIW: When I started drinking, I carefully chose a beer to make people think I had class & taste. I don't. When I blew up my clutch before I was able to fix it myself, a friend did the job for me. I asked what I owed him; he said, nothing, just remember to help other friends when they need it. I pushed, insisting I give him something. He said, OK, bring by a case of beer. Any American beer, ice cold, because all the imported stuff is for snobs. And that's when I stopped being a snob of any type. Be a regular, good guy, because that's all we should have to be. There's nothing wrong with drinking good, normal beer....and, besides, if it's a good seller, it's fresh, and it's important that your beer be recently brewed, unlike wines which usually need to age a bit. Besides, after the first two drinks, pretty much nobody can tell the difference anyway, so why waste money on more expensive brew. And whenever you have the option, go for what's on tap.

Hard liqour, go for something that's at least palatable, most spirits taste like turpentine. Far too many men spend their lives drinking stuff that tastes awful just trying to prove to everyone else that they are manly enough to put up with the horrible taste.

Cocktail, a Tanqueray martini is ok, don't ever go for the 'shaken, not stirred' idiocy because you'll sound like every other james bond wannabe.

Learn what wines you like; then, you have to learn each year if the past year's vintage is any good. I made the mistake back in 1982; 1979 was apparently a great year. so I just automatically bought the same wine the next year, and thought it had gone bad. Nope. It was rotten year for wine, and none of it was any good. As far as what wines go with what food, just drink what you like. Oh yeah, and don't get conned into believing that really expensive wines are so much better. In blind taste tests, even wine testers can't pick out the really expensive stuff. A medium priced wine can be just as good. Don't get stuck paying for the name on the label. Oh yeah, and on good years, stuff in a box can be just as good as any bottle. If you don't believe me, try it and see.

Champagne; Freixenet. I just like the black bottle. Tastes as good as any.

Water; unless your is truly awful, tap. Here's why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFKT4jvN4OE

Ha, haven't had the chance yet. Went to KC this weekend, but we were so busy with WOF/OOF. I did figure out that I don't like summer shandy, though.

[jpod999]

It's been long enough now. What have you tried so far?

[supermansocks95]

Well, I'm used to liquor or mixed drinks. I had my drinks at high school parties or with my friends to get drunk. Here in Kansas, that usually means shit beer and shit liquor. Everyone here drinks freaking bud or coors light and that stuff disgusts me.

I miss being in Colorado with the millions of breweries there. Breckenridge vanilla porter on nitro destroyed my bar tabs for sure.
