Speaking of beer prices, ouchie.... Just got in from drowning my mates sorrows over him and his girlfriend braking up today and we went I this club we usually go in and its 80p a drink for every thing inc. Pints of Stella which isn't to bad, In today's climate that work out at what $1.10? Any way was a good night but I ended up drinking to many of those girly alchopops and absinthe but at least he felt better, or worse I don't actually know he didn't start any fights tonight which is unusual but I'll take it as a good sign as when he was with her he use to start loads Plus on the subject of third world countries it doesn't make your alcohol cheaper in England you can get 2 litres of cider for under a pound and its even cheaper in Scotland that's why they are setting a minimum price per unit up there, which is just silly, this nation was built on alchol

Thanks Ken now I have to dig all my Oasis albums because you've made me want to listen to them

Anyway better get a head start on tomorrows hangover nighty night

I hate to sound like an alcoholic but I read through a few pages and I didn't really see anyone with a drinking resume like mine. Most people do not believe me but I will let you guys entertain it.
My first time drinking to get drunk was a 5th of Jack Daniels. 16 years old, straight from the bottle the whole thing. From my 18th til about my 20th I drank a 5th of Jack almost every single night/early into the day. I also usually finished the night off with way to many beers and occasionally other bottles of hard liquor. Usually Courvasi....(I have no idea how to spell it) or Cognac and occasionally vodka. Around last year I took about 8 months off work, and I usually drank a bottle of E&J brandy, along with a pint of Everclear and generally moved onto the Bacardi 151. For the most part I finished all of the bottles. For about 6 of those months though was every night 50-100$ worth of liquor with a friend of mine. A girl who could hang with me until the alcohol was completely gone.
One night I was pretty cheap and I bought 9 40oz bottles of Milwaukees Best Ice(nasty nasty beer) and me and her drank those, and then raided my sisters fridge and drank her cheap wine and once again raided my moms fridge and got her cheap wine also. Unfortunately, I do have some liver damage to prove all that.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

That's a really good example to the rest here not to overdo it.

I mean, yeah, have your fun, drink, but do it in moderation.

[Nik (#140767)]

I'd pretty much tell everyone not to drink like me unless
A) You want liver failure
B) You want to build an extremely high tolerance

[Doormatter20 (#59409)]

If I took this survey back when I first signed up here I would have said Jack Daniels Wiskey. While I still like JD on occaision I prefer red wine nowadays. Casilero Del Diablo is a current fave, its Chilean wine.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[FH (#140519)]

I prefer beer most of the time. I don't drink that often or that much, but if I go to a bar I usually order a beer, long drink or a white russian. If I want something stronger, I would probably order a jegermeister.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

To me, going to a bar or a pub has always been a social or business event. I don't go there for the drinks. I think I can get them cheaper from the liquor store and mix my own. So it really doesn't make sense to be getting so drunk you can't even talk straight.

Just go there, enjoy a few drinks, enjoy the atmosphere, the sights and sounds, and the pretty girls walking around. You're not enjoying when you're lying on the floor like a log with vomit coming out your mouth.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Ye I know what you mean, every time I go in a club I complain about the music, the Beer and the people but every time I go out I end up back in them because they are open till 5 and the birds are fit

Because clubs are so crap though I don't go in them till all the good pubs are shut and make sure I'm truly wasted by then

[Nik (#140767)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I guess we all think alike. I can't stand going to a dance club where the kids there (minimum entry age 18 for little girls and 21 for little boys) are all crammed in like sardines, where the music is so loud you can't hear yourself think, and where all the kids seem to want to showoff how well they can dance or how much they can drink.

It's always a challenge when you're leaving the place not to step on some drunk or his/her vomit or trip over a body lying by the pavement. Then there are the fights and scuffles and whatnot. And then the police show up and the lights come on and everyone starts cursing in all sorts of different languages (depending on their level of education and their ethnicity). It's not a nice sight.

I hate to see girls fight or cursing at one another. It's really ugly. Half the time they're using language I can't understand. The other half, I can, because I work in a very rough environment and I've learnt a lot of swear words from the workers. Those girls certainly have got better chops than even the workers.

So I've got this nice place I know and which I go to when I want to wind down. If I want the music louder (but not unberably loud) I sit at the bar with my drink. If I want to talk to my friends or clients, I sit outside. The drinks are nice (half a glas of whiskey/half a glass of coke, pop some ice in). I like my whiskey coke strong. A glass or two will last me the whole evening. If I need to stay longer to talk business, I usually go for an OJ.

That's the life.

[shulin (#140572)]

thats some thread for me ^^

well the thing is that here, in slovakia, we have nothing to do.


seriously... slovakia is no fun....
unless u like to get really fuckin wasted, then thats a place to be

everythin is amazingly cheap and strong and good.

i love beer and i drink lots of beer, but i like other stuff too

martini+vodka
whiskey+soda
absinthe+sugar

but i would drink anythin

[Anothar (#136418)]

Absinthe... powerful stuff. It's illegal for sales in all but one Canadian province. I bought a bottle a few years ago and sold it to a friend who brought it to a university party of his. I heard that everyone who had touched that bottle got sick, lol. That's what underestimating a 70% alc/vol drink will do to you.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Absinthe is awesome, Its illegal over here to so I make sure I always stock up when I go abroad Can't be drunk socially though, If I know I'm going out for a night out then I sometimes have a few shots of it before I go out to get the night going

[shulin (#140572)]

absinthe is not *the stuff that makes u barf in 2 minutes* here

we got 95% alcohol with no flavour at all

1 liter u got for 4 euros that means bout whole freakin group of people pukin all over the place

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I can get that 95% alcohol thingy from my local pharmacy. Good for cleaning and disinfecting stuff. But drinking?

[Nik (#140767)]

[shulin (#140572)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[SupraGuy (#92823)]

In University, I knew a guy (Bio-Sci grad student) who got 98% potable alcohol... He'd cut that 50/50 with pop (Dr. Pepper was his personal favorite, IIRC) That's got some nasty kick to it.

Using non-potable alcohol is a bad idea. (Heck, I think that at that kind of distillation level, ANY alcohol has to be carefully monitored so that it doesn't do you serious harm...)

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Well, they all say you can drink ethanol but not methanol. I think they addd some coloring agent to methanol to warn you visually. To me, both are the same. Good for setting cockroaches on fire. I like my alcohol to taste good, not burn my tongue. I won't ever have any reason to go beyond 40%.

[Stick (#5576)]

My family had some friends over, and my dad opened up a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

I died a little inside when I found out how much it usually costs on the internet... and that they drank the whole bottle.

[Nik (#140767)]

[Stick (#5576)]

[Nik (#140767)]

Still, that isn't bad at all, atleast he knows a fine drink for special occasions.
As for me, I can't do wine, red or white. They turn my stomache really bad, that and straight gin. I will puke from one or two drinks alone.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Then you haven't tried really good wine. Red or white, normal table wines suck. But the $200 per bottle ones are good. Tried some a long time ago. Nice and sweet. I remmber it was a white, but I can't remember the label.

[Nik (#140767)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

JD's neat gives me a sore throat. On the rocks and it helps ease it down my throat. I still prefer a Johnny or a Chivas. These babies go well with soda or Coke. Sometimes green tea, if I'm in that mood.

I can't take beer. I think the situation is improving but too much still gives me a badly bloated stomach and some rashes. I used to feel really sick after a can. These days it takes 2 to make me feel miserable. So I tend to stick with the non-carbonated stuff. No champagne either. Gas problems.

Wine is OK. But while most peers prefer red, I prefer white. I love girls of all colors, but my wines must be white.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

I want to revive this with a question.
What's the best thing to add to Whiskey?

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Nothing. Drink it straight.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

I do, but sometimes I fancy a change. And especially for when I go out to pubs.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Add Ice.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

Always a start XD

[shulin (#140572)]

good one coz whiskey is one of my favourites soo i usually drink it just with ice and soda, but from time to time i drink it with coke and i have to say its allright, actually im surprised u havent tried it already

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

My preference, in descending order:

1. Coke and ice
2. Soda and ice
3. Water and ice
4. Ice

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

Well, last weekend when I went out I had it with coke (I pretty much always drink it straight at home) and for some reason it tasted badly. Whether it was because of something there or not I don't remember it tasting that bad last time I had it with coke.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

The best ratio to mix your whiskey with Coke is half whiskey, half Coke then add a couple cubes of ice. Stray from that mix and it's either too strong or too sweet. For me anyway.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

Mine was probably too much coke.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

wow I post way to much in this thread, maybe I drink to much?

Ok so I said I would not drink till I started training, that lasted 5 weeks till now when my knee has healed

Maybe we should have like an alcohol discussion thread, also most of us are of drinking age which really does break the stereotype of anime watchers Any who I'll plough on, I was wondering in all you respective countries how much do you tip at the bar, I never know how to tip! I have been drinking in pubs for 4 years but have never picked it up. I used to tip to much now I don't seem to tip, I don't know how to do it! Though I always seem to end up tipping taxis way to much, tonight my taxi was 7 pound and I tipped him one pound, now people say that is way to much though I feel I have to, to apologies for my racist mate lol. tipping in bars I dont get it!

On topic I drank way to many girly alcho-pops tonight , The club near me was having a "Christmas Eve Party", don't ask, The answer is there Idiots as are the people that go .
Any who they were 30p dearer, has any other country put the tax up on beer? Our country has now decided to put the tax up on "Working class Drinks" Such as lager and spirits but they didn't on good wine or champagne. What utter Bollocks.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I don't tip. We don't have a tipping culture here. Sometimes I might say "Keep the change" but that's about it.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]
