Inspired by the breakfast thread and the fact that I'm just home from the pub.
Tonight:
+3 Old Peculiar Ales
+1 London's Pride Ale
+1 Guinness stout

I love old peculiar, but the local off licence rarely has very much in stock. London's Pride was an experiment, and it's alright. Prefer abbot ale though. GMing D'n'D while tipsy is fun.

Is this thread about drinking in general or specialty drinks? I love a bloody Mery every now and again but I can't get them as often as I like (Why is the drinking age 21 in this country? Probably those old crotchity prohibition skanks) and when I end up getting a chance to drink my friends always end up convincing me to get plastered. Apparently I'm funny or something while drunk. I don't think I am, but that's because I honestly don't recollect the night.

I wish. I won't see alcohol for another 3 weeks at least, til I get back on shore.


edited b/c dakka filters can't restrain my mouth

Tonight: Sunny D + shot of Svedka

Tomorrow: Capping off an APOC gaming day by taking the ladies out on the town, to the club with $3 long islands. Wallet says yes!

But in general, my signature drink is the black russian. Nice thread Boss

I'm down 1 Killians and 3 vodka and cranberries right now. More to come ^_^!

Vodka cran??? Uh, are you buyin those, or drinkin 'em? Aw heck, after some of the stuff I've downed, I got no room to talk...
Man, try hard to stick to the beer anymore. Jack and coke used to be the bevvie of choice, but once I put on a wedding ring that kind of voluntary lobotomy just wasn't an option anymore.

Man, sudden craving for a Harvey Wallbanger. God, that's been years.

I just had a pint of Sapporo tonight, but like Newcastle, Samuel Smith's Tadcaster as well. Bushmills and a cigar are pretty good as well, but only about once every 3 months. If I want to get drunk though, I usually just make a rum and coke with some Tattoo and diet/caffeine free cola. Mead's also good, but bad for my head.

My sister/roommate brews her own beer/mead/wines so parties at our house have a pretty good selection of poison.

A lovely, manly, shandy....

Beer and lemonade, with the goodness of alcohol and sugar, going down smoothly.

Octagenarians all over Oz can't be wrong....

Or a quadruple baileys on ice.

+6 Grolsh lager
+5 or 6 guinness.
This thread is for whatever drinking related stuff you want to post. I'm just using it as a tracker on how much I drink.
I'm totally wasted right now.

+2 $3 long islands
+1 stoli shot
+3 pieces french toast @ dinner after

All from me tonight, I was driving

Damn Boss, 5-6 guinness? Like breakfast / lunch / dinner right there ...

- Salvage

Heh. 6 Guinness would be pretty normal for me on a random evening in the pub.
The worst I've ever done was have 12 over the course of a day. Man was I hungover the next day.

$3 Long islands? Woah! That's cheap!
It's like 4.70 euro for a pint where I was drinking.

Since I doubt anyone will admit to drinking these, I'll post my usual favorites: strawberry daquiri, mojito, pina colada, and a malibu bay breeze.

Fruity drinks are the best drinks.

A lot of my friends would agree with you. I prefer bitter drinks though.

Sam Adams, any type.

Mojitos are awesome. I am now looking forward to summer because mojitos are so much better in hot weather.The rest of that stuff is pretty nasty, but to each their own.

On the weekend I drank white russians on Friday, Nasto Azzuro on Saturday, and a couple of pink russians on Sunday.

Preferences
-Ravenswood Cabernet
-Tequila and sprite/7up, failing that water.
-Strawberry margarita
-Rum and coke
-Mai tai with an extra shot of 151 (only during party time)
-Hard apple cider

Beers (not a beer drinker any more)
Bass Ale
Killians Red
Modello Negro
Moretti
Chemay

(I had cactus beer once-loved it. )

Try London Pride on tap. Much better than it's bottled equivalent and a fantastic ale.
Peculiar is lovely too. Anything by Badger brewery is great bottled....
Arh Ale, along with single malt whiskey and pie's gotta be a favorite of mine to muse over.

I wish we could get London's Pride on tap over here, but it's very hard to find any ale except smithwicks. Sometimes you can get local brews too, but only in certain pubs, and they tend to be jammers.
Last night:
+4 Guinness
+2 Beamish Stout
+1 DVD of Zulu!

I got into mead a while back. While I was living in Colorado, I was close to a local meadery, which I purchased from several times.

I generally prefer beverages made from some sort of grain. Coming from Tennessee this is blasphemy, but I'm not a huge fan of Jack, but I'll definitely drink it if someone is buying. I like scotch and bourbon.

I will have a cosmopolitan occasionally, but the only other "sweet" drinks I really like are jager and Pernod pastis, particularly the latter.


Oh, I almost forgot to mention, sake. Particularly the unfiltered.

I was in Dublin on my way to Oxegen Festival the other week.
Had a pint of Hooker in a pub called Sin E and a fantastic pie. Highly recommended.

Perhaps ironically, it is quite plentiful here in California. And a wonderful product it most certainly is.

I can imagine that drinking ale in the sunshine must be nice.
It's pissing down here again, so stout just seems appropriate

Da Boss wrote:I can imagine that drinking ale in the sunshine must be nice.

Yes, yes it is

I'm waiting for Everquest II, which my miniatures group has dragged me back in to, to download updates. So I'll update our honorable dakkaites on beverages.

+6 Keystone Lights

.50 cents at Kroger grocery.

Drinking ages need to either be very high or very low. Putting one in the middle generally spells disaster. If drinking ages are super low (or non-existent) then you end up with people that regularly have wine or something similar with dinner and booze becomes a normal thing that rarely gets taken to excess. If you put on a really high drinking age, then once people hit that age, they have a year or so of benders before they mellow out some. However since they are fairly old, they have (in theory at least) the knowledge to keep themselves in check when blitzed. Setting drinking ages at 16-18 gives you 20 year old alcoholics.

I, myself, personally did a fair amount of underage drinking in the 18-20 year range and once I hit 21, my consumption dropped like a rock. By that time I had found my limits and decided that I didn't like being hung over. That and the thrill of doing something I wasn't supposed to do was gone.

Not a huge drinker. Like a beer now and again. Tend to go with stouts but I'll slum it if I have to. To my mind though, if you can see through it, it don't count as beer.

Most recent was a 6-pack of Narragansett Bock that a friend got me for fixing up his PC.

Had a few spirits while playing Wii Rock Band last weekend. Scotch Whisky & Ginger Ale, Bourbon n the Rocks and a few Mojitos.

Wow, Canada, the Uk & Europe must just be over-run with 20-year-old Alcoholics then...







hint: they're not. 18's a fine drinking age, as is 21 but don't try to speak for the rest of the world

Actually the UK has a scarly growing drinks/Liver problem with people in the 18-30 bracket, and the Goverment just gave the drinks Industry a final warning to sort their house out before they do it for them.

As to me, I haven't drunk a drop since 96, probably never will again, Milkshake and the occasional Lucozade does me fine, never been one to need Alchohol to have fun.

I've had to quit the booze, but back in the day, the favorite poison of my set was one part everclear and three parts jolt cola. I bring this up because it was my idea to christen this monstrosity of bodily abuse the Planetkiller. (Yes, I have the gift of prophecy, but it only works when drunk and I only ever remember the trivial stuff!)

+2 litres of White Diamond.

I win at life.
