Drunk Thread

[Tortilla the Hun]

Something that I had the pleasure of trying recently was hot cocoa mixed with Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka. Great for those cold winter nights in. Though it is very, very, very easy to have a few too many. Or just the right amount, depending on the kind of night.

I think it must be drinking from the cans that does it. Never with Carlsberg - it's an affront to the state of Denmark. I say go glass or go home! Room temp? Sacrilege...

Rose's lime cordial plays very nicely with Carlsberg, I've found.

For the real sweet tooth, the Swedish discovered wonderful Rekorderlig cider. The strawberry and lime flavour will knock anybody's socks off.

Rum and Ale! RUM! ALE! (Not a pirate, promise.... arrrr!)

Seriously though, South West England has some delicious local Ales and I just can't get enough Rum, popping open a bottle of Ron Miel (Honey Rum) my parents brought back from holiday this weekend, very sweet stuff.

Nah, ambient temperature Carlsberg is the breakfast of champions when camping at music festivals. All other times I wouldn't touch the stuff (there's almost always something nicer around), but in that singular circumstance it's a glorious tradition.

As for my regular drinks, whatever beer I fell like, either ale or decent lager (so no flavourless American shit, Carling or Fosters), on the spirits front, either Glen Moray Elgin Classic Single Malt or Buffalo Trace Bourbon (as it's only about £20 for a bottle of either).

Yuengling or Sam Adams for me. On the extremely rare occasions where harder drinks are on the menu, Jack and Coke as a default, though I do like Ezra Brooks (which I called Jew Whiskey for some reason. Seriously, I don't know how I got it in my head it was made by Jews, or had anything to do with Jews).

 

[Aetera]

I'm not drinking right now, but my absolute favorite drink is absinthe. I love the taste and the way it makes me feel. It's hard as hell to find where I live, though, so I usually just end up drinking a Jack and Coke.

Having a couple of pints of Guinness tonight. Smooth and rich, nice to relax with.

I am quite a fan of real ale and amaretto (not mixed together). However, all I have in the house at the moment is:

Spoiler: Gimme the cheapest shit you got!

 

[mrvenom]

Do you know that watered down beer that you get at music festivals? I'm drinking a crate of it right now. At least it has some alcohol innit. Oh how i would love to trade it for a bottle of scotch. Or vodka. Or rum.

2%?! Might as well be drinking water.

I'm too poor to be drinking right now, but I sure could go for a nice strong Gin and Ginger right about now.

 

[The Hero Killer]

This past Friday when I went out I did a little countdown. I had a four horsemen, three wise men, two by four, hole in one, and ground zero shots.

Saturday I had some Hennessey.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I'm drinking ale, because I'm an old fart like that. Fyne Ales' Vital Spark to be precise, tasty, tasty beer.

My favourite drink is a concoction of ice tea, gin and creme de cassis that I made out of my leftover Christmas alcohol. I'm still not 100% on the measures, but it's pretty much the tastiest drink I've ever had, although it's hard to go wrong with creme de cassis. You can put that shit in pretty much anything and it will be good.

 

[Barbas]

I think you're frankl;yl missing out if you dont currently have a pint of Carlsberg in one hand and somebody's genitals in the other.

It's nice chilled in a glass with lime, but I wouldn;t have it from the can unless I were severely concussed and lackign in moral fiber .

 

[ArcadianDrew]

I'm drinking Bacardi Superior and pineapple juice. It was actually suggested to me by some people on this forum. Very nice too and makes a change from always putting Bacardi with coke.

Later though, I may have a small Frangelico liqueur.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Currently it's this:

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a fucking beer. Creamy, dark, 11.5% goodness.

Yuengling [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuengling] is the oldest brewery in the US (1829), with the added bonus of being local.

Awwww, isn't that age just adorable? *smug European-ness intensifies*

 

[madwarper]

Yeah, you would have thought it would take some Europeans a lot less time to realize how crumby their own continent was...

Now, they're descendents get to hang out with the cool kids, while everyone in the "old country" is left to be jelly.

So jelly that we don't even bother importing American beers. We have the Belgians, the Scots, Germans and Czechs for that. Among others, but mostly them. We perfected that shit over here. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna open a bottle of stuff they've been brewing since the Middle Ages.

But joking aside, I am quite curious to more some small local American breweries. But you ain't gonna beat Belgium as a beer brewing country, nope.

 

[madwarper]

Yuengling, Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Schlitz, etc. You notice what they have in common?

All of them were Germans that got tired of living in a continent where the only thing of noteworthiness anyone ever did was to leave and found the United States of Awesome. So, they came over and joined our party, bringing YOUR knowledge of brewing with them.

Ohhh you mean the guys we kicked off the continent because their swill wasn't even nearly up to our standards? Yeah thanks for keeping them in check, now we can enjoy our proper brewskies in peace. I suppose the colonies will do for what they 'brew'.

(drunken banter yo, though I really shouldn't drink more because I got class in tomorrow, and there'll be a lot of drinking tomorrow night)

Bushmills white label. Irish whiskey from near the northern coast of Ulster, It's a wonderfully intense whiskey with a slightly peaty, rich taste accompanying the usual flavour of whiskey and waiting upon a subtle... electric tang, like ozone or the taste you get near a Van De Graff generator.

It's also interesting with ice, the peaty taste is far more subdued but there is a very subtle almost antiseptic taste. It's from the iodine in seaweed that is used to fertilize the fields where the grains for it are grown.
