There are quite a few that I like, but if I were forced to pick just one, it would be a Guinness that's been PROPERLY POURED from the tap. Seriously, if you drink Guinness often enough there is actually a noticeable difference between one that has been poured properly and one that has not. In fact, if you go to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin there is a point in the tour where they will teach you to pour one properly, and give you a certificate.

To the people asking about mead, as with a lot of beverages it will depend on the brand. The one I tried was fairly decent.

Leaned to drink beer while on vacation in Dublin....... Came back to the sates and had a bottled Guinness, had to fight the urge to not race for the sink and spit it out..... Guiness is awesome, but here in the states you have to learn to deal with sub par product.....

Now as far as my favorite mixed drink goes, I don't think I have seen anyone mention this yet which is surprising.....

The Mojito

I don't always drink (due to me being 15) but when I do I drink WKD (Don't judge me the UK has major under-age drinking, and I have never been drunk so I am responsible like that

Whenever I go to parties my oldest brother buys beer but he only buys "the cheapest with the highest alcohol percentage". This beer is James Ready 5.5. It tastes awful.

I've had Palm Bay which is the most girly drink in history, next to Mike's Hard Lemonade, but it's fucking delicious. Can hardly count Palm Bay though since it hardly has any alcoholic content.

I drink to get drunk, I don't drink for taste.

I've actually got a question. I've always had a hankering for mead. Is it as good as viking/norse/etc mythology and all that makes it out to be? I mean, it's honey and beer. That sounds awesome. Usually when I bring up the idea though, friends don't seem all that convinced, or say it's probably not as good as I'm hoping.

Thoughts? First hand experience? I may not be a drinker, but I do love me some booze.
Whoah, there! Mead is not honey and beer. It is straight fermented honey. I've only had one brand, Chaucer's Mead, and I've really loved it. Please understand that mead is a type of wine. It is not a chugging drink, unless you are insane. It metabolizes into your blood FAST, and you will feel the distinct warmth filling your head after just the first sip. It can be consumed chilled, or heated and mulled, depending on your preference or the time of year. It is very tasty, but it does not hold up well in storage. Get a few friends together if you buy a bottle, and finish it in one night.

I've read that there are fake meads out there that are basically other alcoholic drinks with honey added, but I've never tried any of them.

Beer: Yuengling or something really dark. I'm not picky
Wine: Anything red and heavy. I'm liking Pinot Noir, but I'm not too experienced with wine
Liquor: It's between Southern Comfortt, JD, and Jager.

Mine is a two way tie between an Irish coffee, the real way, and the mojito. But for straight liquor, mead, it got mentioned up above and it reminded me of getting some real mead in Wyoming, its like sweet almost syrupy wine. Bad explanation but its just delicious.

A Vesper if someone else is paying!
Or a nice vodka on the rocks, preferably:

Beer. Not that Miller, Bud, Coors garbage that tastes like so much re-purposed cat urine, but really good beers.

Luckily for me, I live in San Diego, where exists many great microbreweries. Stone, Karl Strauss, Gordon Biersch, Alesmith, Port Brewing, Rock Bottom and many many others. Gives me plenty of options, which I take full advantage of.

Anything sweet, wet and tropical. Or Smirnoff. Yeah, Vodka is amazing. Next time I'm out I have to remember to try a screwdriver, I always forget until later.

Certainly hope for a win.
The team is younger than Liverpool's been in years which I think is a good thing.
I hope we'll win but after that I certainly hope Steve Clarke does good at West Brom, he decerves this chance!
As for the season in a whole. Of course I want the top 4 spot and Brendan seems like a good manager but it's his first year and the philosophy he's bringing is a bit different so it might take time.
But the game at home against Gomel, we certainly did see what the team is capable of and with some training and the lads getting to understand the type of game and each other, I think this might become something special.

I'd have to say whiskey. Preferably something along the lines of Jack Daniels or Jameson or Johnny Walker, but I can live with Evan Williams.

Jameson has long been my go-to whiskey, although Red and Black Label are slowly shooting up there.

If it's beer then I'll see if there are any decent Porter, Stout, or lager microbrews. Never been a big ale drinker.

Oh in my younger days I always loved the combination Four Loko with some Taco Bell. Absolutely delicious.

These days I drink rum, occasionally with soda.

Depends on my mood. Lately I've been into this baby:



One of the best vodkas I've had. Brilliant for shots. Other than that I do love some Jager on the rocks.

Baileys. Give me Baileys and you have a friend for life.
I accept the cheap substitutes.

Wine (white and Rose) are a close second which I drink more often because it can come fairly cheap.

Scotch and water... hold the scotch. For a number of reasons, sure, but it's also super awesome to go out to a bar and not have to pay for shit.
