 The booze thread.

[Veleon (#124559)]

You need to be 21 to drink in the US in case you didn't know Avalanche.

Beer here.
I like whiskey too, but disilke vodka.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

No beer for me. Ever. It gives me rashes all over. And the gassiness of the drink makes me uncomfortable.

Whiskey for me. Most times with coke, sometimes with just plain soda water. Occassionally neat on the rocks. I do sometimes go for vodka with lime or orange but still prefer whiskey mixes.

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

champagne is my preference. Especially spumante or gran spumante.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Beer for me, Usually a Guinness but I do prefer the occasional Lager mostly Stella or a nice cold Heineken

I'm so glad we have a drinking age of 18 over here, I dont know how you can handle 20 and 21 lol.

[Slayer (#119568)]

Beer,vodka and Champagne for me..dont like Rum or the Whiskey...

[Shinka (#128364)]

I go for beer, Corona to be more specific, best beer in the world XD, and with a slice of lime, its equal to a slice of heaven

I like Whisky, on the rocks, to drink ocasioanlly, but I love, and I mean LOVE all Vodka mixes. Man have I gotten wasted with vodka...

I also enjoy a good glass of good wine now and then.

What I hate is Champagne, I can barely finish one glass if I have to toast with it.

Only thing I hate about drinking alcohol, after a certain point, it makes me go to the bathroom every 10 minutes, even 2 hours after I stopped drinking. Worst thing is, with each trip to the bathroom I feel like I sober up a little bit, so when I'm trying to get wasted, I have to drink more after I come out XD.

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

nono the best beer in the world is turbo dog. Seriously try it.

[simon (#39337)]

That would be wine. Red, dry, southern American (Chile, Argentina), southern European (Croatia), or southern African, thick and bloody in colour served in room temperature in the evening accompanied by music.







but if that's unattainable, a cold beer would do.

I've tried a few wines and the better ones are usually too expensive to drink on a regular basis. I have a modest portfolio of wine investments and no way I'm taking them out from storage for consumption. They stored in a secured storage facility because I've not paid taxes on them. I can't remember the details but I think the tax is like several dollars per centiliter or something so I end up having to pay quite a bit for every 750ml bottle I bring out. Not to mention, that destroys the continuity of the collection so it'll be worth less when it comes time to sell them for a profit.I'm building a "vertical" collection in that I have a small collection of each vintage but I try to get hold of every vintage since 2001.

I've not had wine since several years ago. The last one I tried was something from South Australia and it was OK. Not a favourite of mine, wine.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Been drinking Guinness all night but then had a few pints of Amstel its nice but a bit to fruity for my taste, Red Guinness not as good as the original, I found out after the barman gave me a free pint of it and I decided it was to easy, if that makes any sence....

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Stout, eh? Don't like it.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

I don't like any other non-Lager apart from Guinness, I don't know what it is but I love it, Probably the quarter Irish in me

Any good native Beer that I should try from over there Ken?

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Tiger Beer.

Not that I like it. I mean, I can't styand beer of any brand, but Tiger is apparently pretty upmarket outside of Singapore.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

lol, 2 for £3 pound over here, I buy it from the super market where I work, I had no clue it was from Singapore.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Could be Calsberg. I'm tying to sober up and all this talk of Tiger is making me want to go and raid my fridge for some

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Well, you could. Tiger is good, or so I'm told.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

ok Ken you have twisted my arm, its 2 am and I have been out all night but I will go get a Tiger just for you

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Trust me, you'll love it.

[Shinka (#128364)]

Now I wanna go grab a beer too.....

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Ok got it, but added beer means added hang over, it best be worth it I also got a bottle of San Miguel while down there, another nice beer but a tad to wheaty, if that is even a word

[nauXolo (#69311)]

i just consumed a jose cuervo dark chocolate candy from mexico. this stuff is great

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I don't know what they put in the San Miguel. Mostly malted barley I think? Wheat as well? Hmm... I guess you can make them with whatever grain your country happens to be growing, eh?

[Zefiris (#127560)]

It is a Spanish Beer but Brewed from Wheat and Barley in Newcastle her in the UK lol.

Whats a "jose cuervo dark chocolate candy" nau?

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[Zefiris (#127560)]

Cadbury's Rum & Raisin are awful, I really don't think alcohol and chocolate mix Now If it was alcohol and crisps

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I've always wondered why people who booze often end up with such large tummys. I mean, beer is so low in calories. Then I realized it must be the chips and nuts and other snacks that they consume in huge amounts each time they sit down for a couple of beers with some friends.

[Zefiris (#127560)]

lol Its the walking home food, I had Chips, Crips and Pizza just getting home

[Shinka (#128364)]

Actually, I think its the other way around and beer contains a whole LOT of calories, thuse the so called beer-belly.

Actually, all alcoholic beverages are high on calories, except for champagne, which is why its the only alcoholic beverage that models drink, one glass though 'cause it still has some though

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[nauXolo (#69311)]

Never had caddberry rum chocolates, but u should really try the dark chocolate filled with tequila. exquisite blend.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Thanks, but no. I prefer mine plain. Or with nuts.

When I have a drink or two, I don't usually snack. Maybe some chips, but usually with nothing.

[Avalanche (#92065)]

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Specialty import shops? Do yu have any of those over there?

[Avalanche (#92065)]

Yeah, there are a few in the big cities. They have a good wine collection as well - I got an Australian red wine called Penrose from there recently. Very good stuff. I would like to try white wines but then I dont have proper wine glasses (and I really dont want to drink wine in a beer mug )

[Joe Clarke (#135937)]

beer makes me sick...wth..i know

but i like vodka....mix it cranberry and your set for the night

[jsy3k (#32616)]

What? No cognac lovers??!! This is an outrage!!

Anyways, yeah, I loved Martells ever since I started drinking those 2 years ago, especially the VSOP. I usually mix them with water or green tea, but never liked the mixture, until one of my colleague in the US came and introduce me to coke back method with Martell. I found that much better than mixing them. Now, I love to back my Martell with coke.

Either that or on the rocks. I love it pure and smooth

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I don't drink Martells. I keep them. I have several bottles at home. The old man has quite a number of vintage bottles. I'm not even sure if they're safe to drink anymore. Some are from like, I think, the early '80s.

As for my favourite whiskey, either Chivas or Johnny Walker is fine. I'm not fussy. Jim Beam is a little rough.

[Veleon (#124559)]

I feel left out of this thread. I am only 19. And I don't plan to drink any alcoholic drinks ever. So, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Sometimes, when you step into the corporate world, you can't help but have to entertain friends and clients, or be entertained by your contractors, etc. You can't expect to hang around a group of guys and be drinking Pepsi.

I started drinking at 21 I think. Never liked it all that much. It's not something I'd miss if I were to stay dry for months at a time. I don't crave a whiskey like the way I crave for chocolates.

There are days when I suddenly feel like I can't think straight or I don't have any energy if I don't go out there and buy a packet of M&Ms and stuff myself silly and get a sorethroat. But I don't ever find myself thinking about going for a glass or two in the middle of the night.
