I found out I drink vodka and cokes faster than I should.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

I got charged 3.50 for a CAN at Manchester Student Union! I told them daddy doesn't pay for all the things in my life!

They weren't amused

Those are the prices that make me figure that I can go to the liquor store, buy what I want to drink there, and drink it at home.

I don't go to a bar "for the atmosphere" I don't find it relaxing at all, so no thanks. I'll have a quiet drink at home, when I feel like it.

I like Vodka, and usually have a couple of bottles. One I'd use for mixing, but if I have a bottle of Grey Goose around, I'd usually drink that straight. I tried mixing hte Grey Goose with some key lime soda. Just generic store brand stuff, but it was awesome! I hadn't done it before, since the Grey Goose costs easily twice as much as the other stuff that I buy, but the difference in how it tastes is totally worth it.

So now, I still have a bottle of the other stuff, but I'm going through a lot more of the expensive stuff.

So I got an email about 15 drinks with very high alcohol content which has me asking the following question:

Has anyone on these boards tried Bacardi-151 neat (75.5% alcohol) or grain alcohol (98.5%)?

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

No. Not suitable for human consumption. That's my opinion anyway.

I'd probably use that to light my BBQ charcoals though.

[Avalanche (#92065)]

Yeah, that I what I also found from searching for these drinks from the net. Apparently (and not surprisingly), folks pass out/puke after just 120ml of grain alcohol. Now that is STRONG!!!

Still, the word out is that these drinks are best suited for making large quantities of cocktails for college parties and all that...

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

It's just plain old grain alcohol. What taste could it have, except bad. It's not going to taste better than any old whiskey.

I'm guessing, even when highly diluted with juices or soda, it's not going to taste any better.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

If I ever try it I'll let you know.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

yawhoooo every body!

I usually only post in here when drunk, but tonight I am wasted . I have had a reevaluation to put in the booze thread tonight, after 19 years of my life, this is the first night I have ever danced on a dance floor . Ok I was pretending to play CoD4 but I was dancing none the less

Tonight is really saying something when I drank more then my alcoholic mate, but the 8 mile march home did me good. Still scared me more that anything though, its's funny I have walked past men walking dogs at 3.00 3.30 and 4.00 and it doesn't bother me, it's ghosts that scare me

So ye tonight I witnessed the best side of britishness and alcohol, a pub only 10 people full but all talking to each other and watching the football. Then my friend and I went to a club where for the first time ever I out drank him, and went on the dance floor. The club shut 3 hour's ago and I dropped him off after 20 mins and ended up (as I usualy do) walking hours home over the moors, which isn't good around Manchester :S. But I'm home ok (no ghost's) and I earned brownie points with his sister so all well.

On topic I always drink Guinness any way but its the 250'th anniversary this year so get drinking

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

When you're piss drunk, I don't think you'd notice even if a ghost kicked you in the butt.

Yeah, I noticed it's the 250th anniversary of Guinness. The TV ads are all over the place.

"To Arthur".

[shulin (#140572)]

i just dont like guiness
it tastes like coffee o.O

long live Pilsner

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Ouchie hang over.

Pilsner is nice, whats wrong with Guiness tasting like coffee, coffee's nice

[shulin (#140572)]

naah i mean beer should taste like beer and coffee should taste like coffee.
i wonder if youd like coffee with a taste of beer :X

[Avalanche (#92065)]

[Zefiris (#127560)]

You don't know how long that took me to type. No matter the situation there is no excuse for improper English

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

[Vulcan I (#116218)]

Hmm...beer actually doesn't taste that good ;p

That and I found out that 2 shots of 40% = me having no balance at all

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

You'll need to slowly get used to it and build up your alcohol tolerance.

Not just so you could drink yourself silly though. It's just that some social situationcs call for you to entertain and drink, and you don't want to look like an idiot in front of important people. People who make be paying your salary.

I guess you're not at that age yet, but it's never too early to start, especially when whiskey is so nice to drink too.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

LMAO Ken, the damn hippies campaigning to get alchol advertisements banned over here would be after your blood if they read that post

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Blood? What Blood? I've got JD in my veins.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

To Arthur!

Can't believe it, a day to celebrate my favourite drink, I can't wait till tonight it will be like a second St.Patrick's Day

Brink on the Guinness!!!

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

^I'll look forward to a post while you've had a few.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Sorry to disappoint Shaneman, but there wont be any of that, realized I only have 30 quid and that's going on Aion, it's just as well I suppose got my re-medical next week.

[Dr. Shaneman (#137846)]

Damn, I wanted a laugh.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I just bought a dozen cans of Tiger for a house party with some friends this weekend. Probably not quite enough, but I might consider mixing up a batch of shandy with the Tiger and some 7-Up to make it last longer. Or I might water it down a little.

I'm still quite reluctant to try beer though, any kind or any brand. Maybe once in a while, when I have to entertain and all that's available on the table is beer. Otherwise I stay far away. I wouldn't mind serving beer to guests though. Cheaper than serving the good stuff.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

By God no matter how cheap they are I will always loath alco-pops, bid out to night and I got a few good pints of Guinness then I was in a club where they only sell that crap, they are awful :S

Also every time I go in these places my view of the young people in this country just goes even lower, well if it could go lower than rock bottom, and I shudder to think these will be the people in all the jobs in the country in a few years.

Should really listen to The Lancashire Hotpots - Bitter Larger, Cider, Ale Stouts it's an awesome song, how my area used to be like before all these chavs

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Well, thing is, these alco-pops or what I call girly-pops, are fashionable among the younger set. You get a brand-name liquor and your mix it with something sweeter, and it all comes ready-mixed in a bottle that looks nice. And it's not expensive either so they can afford them.

Trends come and go. But don't worry, real whiskey is here to stay.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

But you can't get good whiskey in most bars now though Ken , it's now all this cheap crap

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[Zefiris (#127560)]

It's not due to drinking and driving, as they are just swapping quality for quantity, so people are still getting wasted just on lot's of the cheap stuff, but ye I think I know of one bar in 1/10 that sells the good stuff.

[FH (#140519)]

I had some glasses of champagne tonight. Oddly, it tasted pretty good even though I usually dislike champagne. Somehow I missed out on the wine though, but that's probably for the best. Haven't found a wine that I actually think tastes good.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[jsy3k (#32616)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

SHould be OK. Martell keeps good. As long as you store it properly.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

I had this Cypriot spirit the other week call "Zivania", I have to say It has a kick to it and beat's the normal spirit's, It wakes you up as well if your drinking it first thing in the morning. I also had KEO for the first time as well, it was a nice beer but It wasn't anything special.

And there is a pub in Manchester that has started serving a "Cantona" ale that I really want to try, I mean it's named after a God so it must be nice.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Ken a beer named Rooney would be 3rd, your forgetting the great George Best


And whats this about you not drinking over Chinese New Year, come on Ken your letting the side down. You should have just taken your own bottle that they would have opened, my God not offering a guest Whiskey thats grounds for banishment in my family

I bet you'll have a few now it's all over with.
