Whats your poison

For those of us above the age of adulthood and who enjoy a tipple what's your alcoholic beverage of choice?

Personally if i'm out on the town i drink Guinness. But in the house i drink Carlsberg. I never touch spirits anymore after a few bad experiences.

Well, I'm sure you all knew I'd be here sooner or later...

Two different sets here:

At Home

Beer: Pabst Blue Ribbon. Sure, it tastes like crap -- at first. *shrug* Acquired taste, and I acquired it at college, while playing Mortal Kombat 2 and staring at coeds' racks. Memories...

Hard Stuff: Alternates between Jim Beam (when I'm feelin' low-down-dirty and listening to blues music on the Hi-Fi) or Bombay Sapphire gin, when I'm kickin' back watching a DVD and generally feeling pretty smug and upper-crusty.)

On The Town:

Beer: Guinness, Kiltlifter or Rogue something-or-other. When I'm sitting in the bar feeling sociable, something with a little body and flavor is good, and I lived down the street from the Rogue Brewery in Newport, Oregon for about a year.

Hard Stuff: Maker's Mark or Bombay Sapphire. For those times when you're sitting at the bar not feeling particularly sociable, but just want the atmosphere of a drinking establishment.

And always remember, guys: drink responsibly. Do everything else with reckless abandon.

I drink Coors light, and do shots of Jack Daniels, and tequila.

Miller Lite for those nights out with the gang
Chardonnay for those romantic night
Jaggermeister or Jell-O shots when the party really gets going.

Oh! Forgot a couple! Southern Comfort -- for, you know, when I feel like being comforted, and Yukon Jack for when I'm... eh... heh heh... you don't wanna know.

Bacardi Silver is my usual lubricant, followed by Smirnoff Ice and Mike's Hard {Lemonade, Cranberry Lemonade, Iced Tea}. If I'm at a real bar I get Rum & Coke (either Bacardi or that coconut-flavored Malibu(?) variety).

Rum! The pirate's drink. Arr!

Okay, I'll stop now.

Vodka and Coke, mainly because i don't like beer so it's pretty much the only alcoholic drink i have when i go out.

Sporkzen · Post by **Sporkzen** » 2003-04-26 06:21pm

Beer: cap'n morgan gold (if you think aerobics is a sport.. a SPECTATOR sport)

hard stuff : vodka shots w/coke chaser

smirnoff ice triple black is nice too

Being the barman's ho that I am, my tipple changes about as often as my nail varnish.

right now (literally), I'm drinking Sangria (blame Poe and Zaia)

Frank Hipper · Post by **Frank Hipper** » 2003-04-26 09:42pm

In order of preferance:

Port. Ruby Port.
Mead
Cabernet
Pinot Noir
Chardonnay
Decent imported beers
Domestic beers

And to fortify the light stuff:
Drambuie
A good single malt Scotch
Johnny Walker red
Goldschlaeger

Also I like a variety of mixed drinks, Zombies, Cape Cods, etc. Basically, if it mixes booze with fruit juice, and doesn't have coconut in it, it's a winner!

Straight shots of Skyy vodka. No chasers.

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2003-04-26 09:50pm

Beer sucks. Wine has too many sulfites.

Me, I like Stolichnya vodka and Crown Royal.

MKSheppard · Post by **MKSheppard** » 2003-04-26 09:51pm

For some strange reason, I just can't stand the taste of liquor, wether
it's beer, or hard liquor.

Note to self: Try Stolichnaya at some point. Gordon's = gross.

and Crown Royal.

[barfs] Ewww... whiskey. [looks sick]

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2003-04-26 09:56pm

Stoli's is EXCELLENT.
CR is much sweeter than any other. Especially when you put it in Sundrop or Mt. Dew.

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2003-04-26 09:58pm

Stoli or Grey Goose Vodka when I can afford it.

I also like some good beer, Smirnov Ice (wussy but good for light drinking), and I'm partial to Southern Comfort.

I can't drink SoCo..

And Smirnoff isn't that bad, either. One of the better.

As for rum, I like Bacardi Premium, then silver, and no Bacardi O. Ronrico is the NASTIEST rum I have ever tasted... ESPECIALLY Gold label..

DarthBlight · Post by **DarthBlight** » 2003-04-26 10:11pm

Beer: Guinness, Asahi, Killian's Irish Red, Sam Adams Seasonals and Cherry Wheat, Michelob Amber Bock, Beck's (Light and Dark), Heineken (Light and Dark), Warsteiner

Wine: depends on what I'm eating with it, but my favorite stand-alone is Sutter Home White Merlot

Mixed Drinks: Black and Tan

Liquor: Gin

Post by **haas mark** » 2003-04-26 10:29pm

Arbor Mist is a good wine.. but I really like rose wines..

Next of Kin · Post by **Next of Kin** » 2003-04-26 11:34pm

I'll take either a Rickard's Red, Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale, or a triple rye and coke!

Ah, my nemesis in a bottle, Jagermeister......many rounds we have danced and alwaya a drunken draw it ends up.
My favorite shot combo is a shot of chilled Jager, followed with a shot of Goldschlager with a beer chaser. Usually leaves me a gibbering mess without motor control by the end of the night

I enjoy JW Dundees Honey Brown for beer consumption, and Stoli and I are old pals, no mixing , just straight shots or right out of the bottle for me.

In my younger crazier days i used to drink Aftershock. But after some lost weekends and a time when i woke up in Scotland i decided to stick to beer or wine from now on. When i drink wine i prefer a nice Californian Red.

LOL

My drink of choice is an amaretto sour. With extra cherries. Mmmmm.

I also like vodka screwdrivers (w/Chopin vodka) and Long Island Iced Teas (when I want to get a healthy buzz on a budget), and my favourite shots are Alabama slammers and lemondrops. Nummy.
