I spent the last three weeks drinking a minimum of 2 liters of beer a day. Afterwards I would, maybe, drink some crappy whisky or vodka in mixes and who knows what the heck else. It was so much fun, except my stomach decided to act on my very last night, preventing me from getting wasted till my face was disfigured XD.

Fun summer though.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

The doctors all say you need a minimum of 2 liters of fluid a day. So it's good to see you're consuming sufficient fluids to keep you well hydrated.

I'd die if I had to drink so much beer. Either the allergic reaction or the resultant itching would kill me. Heck, I might even scratch myself to shreds first. I believe it's the hops they add to it while making beer. I mean, I drink whiskey. And I don't get any problems. Wine, which I occassionally drink, doesn't give me problems either.

[Shinka (#128364)]

Well, you do make a strong point there. I'll keep at it then!

Disclaimer:

In case some people took my words literally. I mean, these days, you never know, eh? What with youngsters doing stupid things and all that.

I was joking.

[Shinka (#128364)]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA XD XD XD XD XD XD

I got the joke, I was continuing the joke. Guess I'm just not so funny

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

It's not that you're not funny. But I'd prefer not to be a "bad influence" to the younger ones around here. Forums rules state anyone older than 13 can join up. I can't imagine someone so young reading what I just wrote and starts telling his mom that since beer costs less than bottled mineral water, why don't eveyone in the family start drinking that instead.

And mind you, it's true that in some places bottled drinking water (mineral or distilled) costs more than a locally-made beer.

Despite my love for whiskey, I never had a chance to have even a single sip during the Chinese New Year holidays. It was either cheap table wines (a friend had several bottles that he ripped out from gift hampers his company received from sub-contractors) or brandy (which I don't quite like). Been quite intoxicated twice already in the past 3 days, but been able to drive home the next morning after a night of playing cards and chatting. Brandy on rocks and a glass of warm water. Alternate sips between the two. Didn't quite enjoy it. But it kept me sober for longer.

[Freddy C (#31563)]

To get the job done, i.e. drunk, I prefer the hard stuff. I had an absinthe night with friends 2 years back and we had 2 bottles of absinthe, one was 89.9%. We were hardcore back then...

But for taste, I would say cider, love that stuff, Magners and Koppleberg - ohhh yea. People do say it's a girl's drink, so I guess I am officially a girl :-/

[fnord (#129232)]

Absinthe tastes excellent.

Well, you do have to drink it with all the ceremony stuff though. Were you actually drinking absinthe pure? If so, I don't know what to think: "What a waste ..." or "Wow!".

I mean, pure absinthe? Nothing tastes good above 60%. There's a couple of rums that are nice at 50-something as is absinthe, but I've never drunk anything that tasted remotely good above 60 pure.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

You know Freddy, you've been gone so long I can't remember if you're a boy or a girl anyway.

But anyway, as fnord said, nothing tastes good anymore above 60%. It just burns my throat. I have a full life ahead of me (or at least several decades) so I prefer to take good care of my liver, 'cos that's the only one I have.

Was drinking Martell the other night with a bunch of friends. I wanted a Chivas but everyone else wanted the a Martell. So it was Martell with green tea for me.

[Freddy C (#31563)]

You know Ken, I've been away for so long I'm not sure if I'm suppose to be a boy or a girl on this forum, I think this is a forum where I was a suppose to be a boy...

Anyways, yea the absinthe burned my throat for a while. I don't think absinthe tastes that bad despite being strong, I mean vodka at 40% tastes worse, argh.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Vodka? I always take mine with lime juice. Or orange (but it tastes better with lime juice).

A friend drinks Japanese apple cider regularly. In small doses. She says it's good for health. Her dad drinks the same stuff. They share a small bottle a week. I mean, a small bottle lasts them a week! Wow. They must be very thrifty.

[fnord (#129232)]

There is good vodka, just not the cheap stuff. Don't go for russian vodkas, czech and polish ones are better. Scandinavian ones are also good, but they are a little too even for a vodka in my opinion. Absinthe tastes great, but you miss out on the taste by drinking it pure. The way you're supposed to drink it (with ice water 1/1 or 1/2 and burnt sugar) is better imo since it makes the licorice-taste smoother and all the little details more apparent that you miss by having it burn down its way down to the stomach. No matter how high quality and tasty, if the alcohol content is too high it's simply too hard to make the taste out I think.

Well, maybe I should practice more. I read the other day they picked up a guy with 6.1 promille a couple of kilometres from where I live and he survived well enough. Told the police that "one bottle of liquer in the evening is the norm" and that if there's an event "it can go up to 2". Apparently didn't even need serious medical attention. I bet he's able to tell what things taste like at 70%+.

I'm tired and bored so I decided to post here.

I noticed Ken mentioned getting itchy from drinking beer - I'm the same way.
I prefer hard liquor - but it takes a lot to get me drunk, despite my small stature.

I never really drank anything before I turned 21. =/

Sheesh...it's hard to believe I joined these forums when I was 16. O_O

[Anothar (#136418)]

Around here, Vodka drinkers have it with good ol' OJ or cranberry juice.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[Avalanche (#92065)]

mmm... Vodka. Stop giving me ideas guys! Its just takes enough willpower to not indulge in alcohol these days. Though, come to think of it - I just had two small pegs of Ballantines Scotch on saturday! xD

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

You won't get very far in life without ideas, my man.

Ideas are what make life "interesting".

[fnord (#129232)]

Yeah. Although sometimes, afterwards, you wish you hadn't been as creative.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I think the vodka with lime/orange/cranberry combos should be alright. They're all acidic juices, aren't they? Should give similar "feels" to the drinks.

[fnord (#129232)]

Vodka should be fine with just about any juice, especially since it has such a neutral taste. There are probably juices less suitable for this than others (apple juice for instance) but any sort that has a reasonably strong taste should work.

Hey, marriage isn't all that bad. At least you get to party yourself crazy the day before at the stag party.

And you have someone to serve you your daily drink after that. Preferably if she wears a maid costume and she looks like Aoi-chan.

So OK, pineapple and vodka is out the window. But vodka with fizzy drinks seems a good choice. I'll remember that the next time I go get wasted.

We'll see about my kid's wedding. It's kinda too early still. He's still only 6, and those bottles are like 5 or 6 years old (not counting the years they've been lying aroun d somewhere else) already. Anyone ever tasted 50 year old whiskey? I might end up drinking them before then. But yeah, it's a tradition to provide hard liquor during a wedding. It wouldn't look good if I didn't.

Happy St.Patrick's Day all!!!! ^^

I thought it better to put it her as there will be plenty of Booze today, well for me anyway Although, I don't like drinking Guinness on St.Patrick's Day even though that's the one drink I drink more than anything normaly, I just feel like a conformist when I drink it on St.Patrick's Day but I will probably just end up on Guinness as I always do and then the Jameson's Can't wait!

[jsy3k (#32616)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[Zefiris (#127560)]

although no one else seems to like St.Patrick's day this was a good one, I have been drinking for 12 hours and in that time my mate has kicked of with 5 taxi driver and I have been bared from the Irish bar that we were already barred from But I still didn't get my mates sister's number One day

On the drink front I had 2 Guinness 4 Fosters 2 Stella a Heineken and some absinthe, all in all good St.Patrick's Day but still not drunk enough to go to sleep and to drunk to watch a series

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Quick question. You guys ever get sick from mixing your drinks? Like drinking wine, then beer then hard liquor (in any random order). I don't like mixing. If I started with wine, then I stick with wine throughout the night. I stay off beer, always, for the sake of my health. If I am on whiskey, it doesn't matter if I mix it with Coke or soda or green tea or just plain water, but it's whiskey for me that night. I somehow seem to feel icky when I mix stuff. It's not the a matter of how much I drink for the night, but it's the mixing that gives me an upset stomach.
