Dogma is a man of taste.

I knew it right from the get-go. I like beer, but I prefer something that burns.

I drink beer with food, otherwise liquor is king.

Especially vodka, its a Polish blood transfusion you know.

Why not all 3?

Holy crap, I found a bottle of Stroh rum, I thought my mates had drank it...

80% death, here I come!

Drink whiskey like real men.

God, that stuff is death.

Not in terms of proof, but the flavor...it sticks to your teeth.

All I have is a liter of jameson.... and I'm more into scotch...

I like me some famous grouse.

I'm drinking Jameson as we speak.

I prefer scotch usually myself, but it's winter so I was looking for some grass notes to brighten my day.

What kind of scotch do you drink, soladrin?

Scotch is my love, but being a poor grad student I am limited to the...dregs.

Famous Grouse is my favourite so far. Though I'm still trying new stuff whenever I get the chance.

If you don't mind blended scotch(I do, as I'm a gentleman and look down my nose at it ) Scoresby's and Dewar's is pretty cheap and isn't all that bad.

I actually don't mind blended scotch so much. I mean, I can taste the difference but its still scotch, right?

If you like peaty flavor try Laphroiag. It's my favorite.

If you don't, try Glenlivet!

I never touch blended, I always have better options at hands.


Ah the luxuries of having a schizophrenic drunk for neighbour.

Alcohol is the devil's saliva, out to corrupt you all!

That being said, it is delicious.

Even i think thats a tad harsh!

It depends on the nature of the accident, really. Did you hit a patch of black ice and skid into someone, or were you so slobbering drunk that you couldn't keep your car on the road?

Well I don't exactly think that punishing someone that truly had an accident by imprisonment is good for society, nor is putting a bullet in them. However in the case of drunk drivers, yes I support the death penalty.

Anyone who has driven drunk knows that you make a choice every time you do it, and you must be willing to accept the consequences. Otherwise, don't do it dummy!!!!



If I had to chose a booze it would be a snifter of WL Weller 12 year wheated bourbon, but I generally prefer the chiba.

Impromptu booze threadjack accomplished!

Scotch is king.

These are what you really want:









I like my Whisky neat, and not too peaty, bear in mind.

At the moment I am enjoying this, however:



I generally really like English-style ESBs, though I'm not a fan of American-style IPAs. Just a bit too bitter for me.

Mannahnin has good taste.

Well, aside from that ESB.

4/5 isn't bad.

Well I guess I'll comment in the whiskey thread....Oh wait it's a about a guy that ran over a 12 year old girl? Ok I'll comment on that.

I'm generally against the death penalty, however 4 months is an insane sentence. Throwing him out of the country is to good for him IMO. Based on the circumstances I would give him 15 years at least.

GG

No no no.. It was about a car accident that occurred six years ago, but we have evolved from that to something else. Something...wonderful....

Mannahnin I have those brands written down and will be sampling one a week for the foreseeable future.

Here's a really bad question. Is Scotch whiskey? If not, whats the difference?

Scotch is Whisky, and it's spelled differently to differentiate it from irish whiskey, which used to be considered of much higher quality. These days, whisky is the better drink according to most people, and I do like it, but I also like the rougher taste of whiskey a lot.
I'm drinking Poachers Ale at the moment, and it tastes a bit of liquorice. You'd think that'd be a bad thing, but I fething love it. Makes my cheeks take on a rosy glow.

As to the topic, I'm with Killkrazy. Deport the guy.

Verbatim this is what one of my mates said. He was talking about Dr. Patel.

Ditto, although I mainly enjoy a nice pint of bitter or failing that, a nice cheap red.

MR- You won't regret it!

I don't think it's amazing or anything; and maybe the brewery being ~40min away helps. I dislike Heineken here, for example, but get it in Amsterdam itself or a neighboring town and it's a whole different animal. But it's a tasty ESB.

The first place I had an ESB was at the Wharf Rat in Baltimore, across from the arena where GW had the GTs. They had imported English stuff in casks, with the full English-style cellar and old fashioned pump drafts and all. Good place to hoist a few; I understand it's closed now, though. The last time I was there Edgar's had closed too; the Poe-themed bar where I got to drink with Dave Taylor. Good times.

Fraz- As the others said, "whiskey" is the Irish, and "whisky" is the Scotch. Much as it pains this scion of the O'Brien clan to have to say, Scotch is (IMO) the better stuff, overall.

Change the sentence from months to years, and add on maybe 3, and I'd be slightly more accepting of it.

On an alcoholic note, Fursty Ferret is my beer of choice, though I will generally not turn down a pint of the following:
Hobgoblin (ruby beer)
Old Empire (an IPA)
Dragon's Blood (not sure, but it's nice)
or Humdinger. (golden ale)

Well, if someone killed my little girl (I don't have one yet, but, you know...) I'd hunt them down to the ends of the earth.

If they weren't deported, it'd make my job a lot easier.

But seriously, the guy should be deported. "Infringing on human rights" is a shed load of horsegak if he's killed someone and hit another person before WHEN HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE BANNED ANYWAY. It's ridiculous to even argue.

Maybe we should ask, "Don't the killer's children have a right to have their father in this country?" After all, I bet he is an excellent Daddy.

On the subject of whiskey, I normally prefer Irish - specifically Jameson's and Bushmills. I did have some scotch on Friday - Oban. It was quite nice. I don't like the peatiness of Laphroaig and the like.

And whiskey should always be drunk either neat or with a small amount of water.

Death is too good and clean for this. If it was me it would be some time with a baseball bat. In that time he would get to feel the fear and the pain that little girl did and I'd leave him in crippled, permanent pain intense state. He'd then get to live the rest of his life as a useless lump of meat wjo was always in pain.

... the problem with that now is that he has kids and they would be too young to understand. All they would see is their daddy messed up and that would be just as bad as the original crime.

Wow. Do we have a Frazzled protege here?

Actually no. It would be worse. A lot worse. I don't think killing anyone (even a child) in a reckless driving incident can ever be compared to beating a father to death in front of his children. The former is a reckless idiot who should have damned well known better, the latter is the act of a sadistic bastard.

Yeah, that post went over the line, I think. I reckon it's harmless carthartic ranting though.
