For serious drinking, what's your beverage of choice?

[jgraz]

Here's mine:

[Lethe]

1. eh, beer

mostly because i can guage how messed up i am based on previous experience.

[Swede]

6. Same here.

Beer is my favorite poison.

[jgraz]

10. Now, if you're guaging how messed up you are, is it really serious drinking?

[pokerfan]

2. Mine

[Haole Girl]

5. I'll second that...

When I'm not drinking Bailey's... or Kahlua.. or... lol! :hi:

[rug]

44. If you don't mind whiskey made in Northern Ireland.

Here's the real deal.

[Vilis Veritas]

3. Mine...

[Capn Sunshine]

22. Yay tequila!

[flvegan]

4. You really gotta define "serious" here.

With drinking, it's all about intent.

*hic*

[jgraz]

9. I probably could have before that last glass of bourbon

[flvegan]

8. Their Slogan: Tastes as good coming up as it did going down

:rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

14. Dude - the stuff is like the Nectar Of The Gods.

[Downtown Hound]

11. White Russians, because The Dude abides.

[Lethe]

15. fuckin'a, man

[Downtown Hound]

20. You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that, do you?

Hello? You speak English son? Para usted ingles?

[bridgit]

13. Basil Hayden makes a nice little get together...

[jgraz]

17. What is it with the 'B' bourbons?

Booker's, Baker's, Basil Hayden's, Blanton's, Black Maple Hil, etc..

[bridgit]

19. a fair question...

:toast:

[XNASA]

39. Jim Beam Black

And while Basil Hayden is very good....

For my money, the best tasting bourbon is Jim Beam Black. I had a nice little bourbon collection going at one time, but the only ones I really enjoy enough to always keep around are JBB and Wild Turkey Rare Breed.

[Tian Zhuangzhuang]

16. Here is mine (serious drinking only)

[Downtown Hound]

18. Once upon a time, I was a tequila man

Then one night at a beach party I was knocking back a bottle of Mescal, and I drank the worm. I woke up on the beach the next morning in the dunes, at least a mile from where I had been the night before, all alone, and I had to hitchhike back to town. Since then I can't touch the stuff.

They don't call it To Kill You for nothing!

[Connonym]

37. How I spent last Friday night

Normally good stuff (in this case Cabo Wabo) doesn't make me sick but last Friday was enough to put me off my to-kill-ya for good

[Colorado Progressive]

21. I drink watered red wine.

Just like in Europe. It keeps you from getting shit-faced yet allows you to enjoy the wine. I do drink a few sips straight to savor the taste before I water it down. And sometimes I drink it straight and stop after a glass.

[Richard Steele]

24. Wow, you're a WILD MAN!

I have GOT to party with you sometime!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[DarkTirade]

25. I've always been more of a wine drinker, but lately mead has been my thing.

[skyblue]

26. Live and let live unless you're going to expect an enabler to pick up the pieces

after you break a body part because you can't walk straight.

[Lyric]

27. Serious drinking? Do you mean

drinking in order to get wasted, or drinking at a "serious" event?

The former (for me) would be Bacardi 151 rum and Diet Coke. The latter would likely be some fruity concoction involving coconut rum, OJ, pineapple juice, banana liqueor, and a dash of grenadine. :hi:

[jgraz]

28. "Serious" in that the focus of the activity is the drink you have in your hand

You're not just having a beer with dinner or out shmoozing with your coworkers. You're there, at that moment, to enjoy and appreciate the contents of your glass. What do you choose?

[Lyric]

29. Ohhh...well that's easy.

Ron Zacapa Centenario aged dark rum, neat, in a rocks glass with a teensy bit of dark brown sugar on the rim.

[jgraz]

41. That. Looks. Yummy.

:beer:

[Burma Jones]

30. Herradura Silver

[raccoon]

31. Sweet tea with lemon. nt

[meegbear]

32. Jack Daniels or Courvoisier

[zabet]

33. Serious drinking..

In 2006, Crown Royal XR (extra rare) was introduced in the US by allocation and the Canadian market (initially, only in Ontario and Alberta). This limited-release special blend of Crown Royal is sold in numbered bottles, and is made from the last batch of whiskey distilled at the Waterloo distillery. After mothballing in 1992, the Waterloo distillery burned down in 1993, with only a small amount of whisky being left behind. As a point of comparison, in February 2007, a 750 mL (commonly called a fifth in the USA) bottle of Crown Royal could typically be purchased in the United States for around .....

Down to 2 unopened bottles out of a 'case' of 6. :cry:
Getter more expensive and harder to find, lots of places

[tandot]

42. My favorite vodka:

[redqueen]

43. Bourbon.

I found that it does the trick quite nicely. Used to like vodka... but bourbon seems to work better for fast shitfacedness.

[HEyHEY]

45. Aqua Velva

[jgraz]

53. Dude, you SO have to try the Aqua Velva Reposado

It will rock your world.

[Rising Phoenix]

:beer:

[Reverend_Smitty]

54. I'm drinking that right now...

because I'm out of my favorite


Even the run of the mill Evan Williams Black Label is really good, and you can pick up a 1.75L bottle for less than 20 dollars...which is just crazy

[CatholicEdHead]

51. Usually a cheap red wine (boxed)

If I am pushing for a good buzz or any red wine gets me over my tolerance level pretty easy.

I can usually control myself on the beers. Microbrews because they are so good, but also the cheap stuff (e.g. Miller Lite) because they are so bad to drink enough to get sick.

[XemaSab]

52. Gin & Tonic

with Bombay Sapphire. :9

[RushIsRot]

55. Just plain-ol' straight vodka! Minimizes the hangover.

I have found that the house brand of vodka sold by Albertson's is the best tasting. I think it is their Heritage brand now.

Enjoy! I did when I had access to it.

[Wapsie B]

56. Beer's the elixir of choice for me.

Sometimes Samuel Adams, sometimes Steele Reserve. Icey cold refreshment. Right now I'm drinking a Bellhaven Scottish Ale. It's not bad.

[bridgit]

57. here's to series drinking...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

58. Jameson, the nectar of the gods.

[enigmatic]

59. Everclear

[Jamastiene]

60. Smirnoff or Popov.

Can't afford Absolut, unfortunately. And I don't ever want to rot my guts with Vladmir ever again. That stuff was nasty. Good ol' Smirnoff is good for me.
