anyone have a favorite drink? I can't decide which is better whiskey or gin. however one must not forget permafrost. hey, while we're on the subject, anybody tried everclear.
Posted by Kolben on Jul. 06 2000,10:17
The best drink is pure ethanol, mixed with some pineapple juice and concentrated carbondioxide. Yumm...

But I like whiskey more than vodka tho'. And I like Scotland more than Russia.

I like vodka alot, i can drink that stuff straight.

everclear on the otherhand is just wrong, you can't drink that shit straight, tried a shot of it once and my mouth colapsed in on itself. it's good with mountain dew though and it'll fuck you up too, 98\% alchohol will do that.

Everclear blows. It helped kill one of my friends, but that is another story.

My personal favorite WAS rum, but my other half introduced me to Crown Royal. Damned expensive, but damned good.

Now I like a lot of drinks, but I onlt tell 'em I love them to get thier tops off

In order of preference:
Guinness (yes, I am actually Irish)
Blue Cracou and OJ
*Good* red wine
JD and coke
Gin and Tonic (3 gins and 2 tonics in a pint glass yum!- do not chug this!)
Russian Monk: Vodka, Peache Schnapps, Green Chartreuse and white.

After thanthat, anything is game.

Mmmmm Beeeer

Any beer from a micro is worth trying. I live 40 min from 3 of them and its great. I find i like the Ambers the best.

I've never really been a big fan of beer myself. I do occasionaly like to get some irish red's though. I agree crown royal rules. and peach schnapps is just damn good. I wish they could make something with the proof of everclear with the taste of peach schnaps.

Gin is a drinker's drink

Whisky is the American's Vodka. Both are for drunks.

I prefer Gin.

anyone ever been called an alcoholic? well I have quite often. and then the usual reply of I'm a drunk not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings. btw anyody have a favorite mix?
Posted by fendi on Jul. 06 2000,21:40
I'm a cocktails kinda gal!

I love strawberry dacquiris but most bars/pubs do not do them or any complicated cocktails. Plus it needs real strawberries. Just the strawberry liqueor is not enough!!!

So, most of the time I just take a tequilla sunrise. Tequilla + lemonade/squash, Vodka + OJ/lemonade/squash JB + coke, Baileys/Kahlua + milk. Black/White Russians.

If theres a binge on and shots are called:
Tequilla slammers
Quick Fuck
(Multiple) Orgasm
Squashed Frog
Anything that comes up. After a while, they'll all taste the same or you go numb Anything at all except Sambucca (liquorish) drinks. I'll never be numb enough to mind that stuff. YUCK!

Damn! Wish I was back in Uni

Btw, just to show how clueless I am:

What's permafrost and everclear?

permafrost is a kind of schnapps. it is 100 proof. and everclear is like 190 proof or something. I have heard it is like rubbing alcohol basically
Posted by neotope on Jul. 07 2000,01:21
got sXe?
Posted by jrh1406 on Jul. 07 2000,03:26
Yeah everclear is 190 proof, i think it's something like 2\% not alchohol, like i said before, the stuff is just wrong, you have to mix it with something because it's impossible to drink straight.
Posted by Cletis Litclicker on Jul. 07 2000,16:27
Jack & Coke, of course.

I've got a bottle(aftershock that is) in my computer case. yeah i might as well admit it. I'm underage. like waaaayy underage. so I must find inventive ways to hide shit
Posted by k00gs on Jul. 08 2000,04:29
i like beers then vodka. Gets you messed up you can't taste the vodka. I had 4 beers and 2 screwdrivers one night. Needless to say I drooled a lot. im pretty tuff for my weight though, 125 =) heh. best beer = boston home brews. nothin beats a home brew, especially boston's
Posted by Rol3x on Jul. 08 2000,05:12
anyone ever had Aftershock? that stuff is just good. i dont know what proof it is. i dont think its that hard. but its damn good for cotton mouth. shit its the best thing ive ever had to dirnk while stoned.

Posted by jptech on Jul. 08 2000,05:43
Aftershock is 80 proof. I've got a bottle in my freezer at home! =)
Posted by Kayy on Jul. 08 2000,18:03
Hey Kai - I do the same thing man, but I do it not because I'm underage, but because if I dont hide my stuff, anyone that comes into my room will take it and leave me alcohol-less.

In my machine right now (apart from my system components);
One bottle of Peach Scnapps (23.5\%)
A little left over hash (between my cd-rom and cd-rw)
;

It's also a great place to stash stuff if the cops are gonna raid your house, because if you have a computer there, they aint gonna be willing to pay upwards of a grand to replace it if they screw it up, so they tend not to look inside the case

As for fave drinks, I'm very partial to Peach Schnapps, and it's the only "hard" drink I've ever touched, though I wouldnt mind a bit of that Everclear, it'd last a long while if it gets you paraletic in one shot.

I need me a Cryotech housing to keep my drinks cool I guess?

Whiskey...that's from Scotland iso9k! And if you put it like that Vodka is just Russian whiskey. Vodka has a disgusting taste I think (talking Smirnoff). I like nearly all kinds of whiskey on the other hand.

But it's all made the same way. Take some of your local crops, add yeast, sugar, wait, voila you have some smelly fluid you can distilate and season.

The main brandys I know of is:

Whiskey - Scotland (rye, barley, oats, wheat, or corn)
Vodka - Russia (Mainly potatos)
Danish Schnapps - Denmark (Whatever you can get)
Risewine - China (geee, hmm, rise)
Rum - Barbados (Dunno really, tastes good anyway)

BTW: You can't just go out and buy 98\% alcohol (ethanol that is. Everything else would kill you. 98\% alcohol probably would anyway though). And you can't make it yourself unless you've got a high facility lab. If you've got 96\% ethanol in a bottle and unscrew the cap it'll drop to 80\% in about 3 minutes, depending on the willingness of the surrounding air to absorb it.

Posted by jrh1406 on Jul. 09 2000,23:37
Well ok, everclear is closer to 90\%, and yes it will evaporate if you leave the cap off, and it will kill you if you drink enough of it (like half a liter)


Posted by j0eSmith on Jul. 10 2000,01:55
Everclear is for mixing, and only mixing. With mountain dew etc.. makes for some killer drinks that way. Trying it straight is an easy way to empty your stomach though :P
Posted by reman on Jul. 10 2000,03:50
Mexican Hitler all the way baby!!

MH == Tequila + Schnapps

Sounds awful at first but once you have a few you can't help but chug some more down. And of course the quick phuck is nice (bailey's, midori, khaloua layered, looks pretty!)

i'm a big fan of daqueries and pina coladas, but they don't do that stuff at most bars. I usually get vodka, cran & orange. mmmm good!
otherwise, i drink keith's, moosehead and heinekin most of the time.

heh 20oz bottle of dew a quarter full of everclear will knock you on your ass, and it doesn't taste half bad either.

As far as hard alcohol goes, I quite enjoy Fire & Ice and Goldschlager. Although I like beer I generally prefer mixed drinks, so for those of you who need some good recipes I suggest checking out < www.idrink.com. > You can browse the listings, or input your ingredients and get a list of recipes you can make. Gives user ratings so you know what's good, and if you have a recipe you've come up with, you can submit it. Highly enjoyable.

1st of all Russians are the best drinkers ever.
2nd Russians have more reasons to start drinking.

So i think u can take our word for it, when we say VODKA is the mother of all alcohol.

Ethanol is derived from vodka, which grows on vodka trees...

Whisheky is for Brits. Tastes like cheap moonshine my grandma used to make...
Although i may said too much.

Rig_hater, that vodka drink is called a Madras. Easier to order in a bar. My favorite drinks are Guiness, Young's Oatmeal Stout in the draught can, Crown Royal and Coke, Hair of the Dog Fred (it's a barley wine, between 10.5-12\% alcohol beer type drink), and a nice Paulaner hefe-weison.
Posted by rig_hater on Jul. 13 2000,11:27
hey Zamt, thanx for the name of that drink!

i like trying lots of imported beers too - stuff like Tartan, Boddingtons, etc. North America (especially the USA) doesn't quite have the knack for beer the way the Europeans/UKers do. Canada's got some great microbreweries though. (but I think there's already a thread on that...)

Germany, The Netherlands, UK and Denmark are the kings of brewing beer.

If you haven't tasted it yet. You should defenitely try Ceres Royal (blue). Get it imported or whatever. That's the beer they must be drinking in heaven


Posted by AnimalPrime on Jul. 13 2000,16:15
Can you say Mikes hard!!!!! an excellent source of vodka!!! Oh and Canadian Beer! Molson Canadian is the best!!! AMerican beer is just pony piss!!!
Posted by Rol3x on Jul. 17 2000,02:49
whoa, hold it all here. animalprime. by mikes hard did you mean mikes hard lemonade?! for christs sake man. have some respect, that is a definite 100\% all the way girl drink. come on. if i had to drink mikes hard lemonade id have to put vodka in with it just so that i didnt feel less masculine. needless to say.... im not mad. im just dissapointed in you.

(just caught up on this subject, kayy-)
mmmmmm, hash. never had hash. but i love weed, so i can only guess at how good hash must be.


Posted by rig_hater on Jul. 18 2000,03:03
ahh. the hash vs. weed battle.
that in itself could be another thread

i like them both. hash makes me more mellow and trippy. weed is just something entirely different. it's kinda one of those "you have to feel it to understand it" type things.

as for the mikes hard, it's as close to a cocktail as i've ever seen a guy drink - i do see a lot of guys drink it though and since it is available at most beer stores, at least in canada, it's "allowed" to be a guys drink too

Posted by Zamt on Jul. 20 2000,01:53
Oh, animalprime, Mike's Hard has no vodka in it. It is essentially a lemon cider. I just looked at the bottle my wife has (that stuff is way too sweet). Lemonade and vodka is a lemondrop. Totally different thing. i should know, I had 24 lemondrop shots on night. Not the shot glass shots either, but the tilt your head back open your mouth while some buxom lass pours lemonade and vodka in your mouth then you shake your head and swallow lemon drops. Ah, the fraternity life.
Posted by rig_hater on Jul. 20 2000,02:21
i dunno about where you're getting your mike's hard Zamt, but in canada, it's got vodka. check their website for ingredients (and check your hangover the next day):

< mike's hard lemonade >

so kiddies, enjoy the vodka, and my appologies if it doesn't come that way in your country!

Been noticing a lot of people talking about Vodka and Russian in the same sentence. The Polish don't have much but every Pole will claim that the russkis stole the recipe from them. Vodka is Polish for 'water' and that's how they drink it. (Pronounced 'Whotka', breathe out when you say the 'wh')
My mate's dad used to have a vodka still at home so I have experienced the true water.

If you must know more, go here: < http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/nieminen/vodka.html >
Includes reviews of SO many types and pctures of bottles, with proof ratings and mixer recipes too. Didn't look at the link to whisky 'cause I prefer vodka, but try that too.

This one looks good:
Polmos Polish Pure Spirit: 500 ml bottle
Is this a vodka? It's a real killer, 160 proof. It's got a hell of a kick, instantly warms you up. Drink with caution, or be a gutterhugger, i.e. over consume and you will die. Glen reckons it's the reason why those uncoordinated Russian cosmonaughts keep busting up the Mir Space Station. Have a Polmos on us fellas

Most of the types of spirit he mentions in that link is not vodka. It's different types of schnapps practiced by the Scandinavians since way back. Generally every clear and no colored spirit NOT made of potatos is just schnapps. Vodka is made from potatos (and is a schnapps) so it's spirit has almost no taste. That's where the "water-thing" comes from. And mostly, after the first sip of vodka, you can't taste anything. mmm...but whiskey on the other hand...

But anyway...you can't discuss taste, because everybody has got their own. So it's kinda meaningless.


Posted by nautilus on Jul. 20 2000,12:24
Zamt,

You actually used lemonade for your lemon drop shots?? Any time I've done them, it's been:

1) Dip a lemon slice in sugar.
2) Suck the lemon and hold the juice in your mouth.
3) Take the shot of vodka.

It's esp. yummy when using either Absolut Citron or Mandarin, and if you're out of lemons, using orange slices instead is tasty too.

Slightly off-topic i know. Whenever i smoke weed i just die, feel killer sick (not helped by eating whole pizzas) and all i want to do is sleep. none of this 'high as a kite' stuff that my friends get.

any advice?


Posted by Willy Pete on Jul. 20 2000,18:30
How do you smoke it? There's so many ways. Do you smoke just weed, or hash? Do you mix it with tobacco?
Do you use a pipe? Joint?

My life: First time was with just a matchbox of good weed when in high school in So. Africa. (about Ũ.60 now) We used a 'bottle neck' pipe with a rolled newspaper garrick. (filter - fold a piece of paper into a ribbon about 1/2 inch wide then roll it iinto a circle like a snail shell would look in a crossection. Insert into bottle neck when the right size.)
Very much a local thing.
Anyway - no tobacco mixed. I was fucked for about 5 hours. Great. Hear it's not often it hits you the first time - I was lucky. I'd say drop the tobacco mix if you use it. It can make a lot of people nauseous. Suck deep like you're going for a long underwater swim and then hold it. Don't worry about looking cool, if you want to cough, just try hold it like you would a sneeze and splutter a bit. When you finally need air, ie: throbbing veins, breathe out in a controlled manner. One or two more like that and you're on your way. Yummy. Very mellow. Turn on the Road Runner cartoons.
BTW you can buy a big trash bag full of weed tops for about ฮ in So. Africa along the coast. hehe

Posted by chronos2 on Jul. 20 2000,23:32
I usually use a hash-pipe, but i have used joints b4, and they had absolutely no effect. in comparison to my friends, i seem to have a very high tolerance (im not fat or anything, only 68 kilos) and it takes heaps more for me than them, and then like i said i just die

and im pretty sure its not bad smoking techniques, i hold it in, i cough, i drink water, i cough some more but i do hold it in
