A discussion of alcoholic drinks shall ensue!

Your favourite? Least favourite?

Let it loose.

I'm about whiskey, absinthe and wine.

I hate cider.

smirnoff ice wkd and all other alcolopops r nice coz they r sweet. theyre wat the alcohol industry used to hook u then pull u toeards stronger stuff

I consider this a myth created by...I don't know who. Before they existed we just mixed it ourselves.
Lost part of my memory once from Vodka Red Bull - I'm very careful with them since.

Ha, and you think we believe that? Didn't you mention you're Finnish? :;

I never really drank a lot. Yeah, I know above sounds different, but honestly over all I didn't and don't.
I have weird drinking preferences. I dislike most stuff people normally drink (with the exception of Baileys) and rather go for mead, cider/cidre, Amarula, a good whisky (only Single Malt Scotch) or self-made liqueur.
I normally don't like beer or wine - even though I'm from a wine region in Germany.

I bes from the cider county (10 pts if u can tell me what tht is, hint its in the uk, and yeh fellow brits u can join in)
so i steal mi cider from my mother.
i like vodka but only in coke otherwise ill puke everytime i drink a mouthful lol. and it gives me terrible heart burn.
I like rum fudge but not rely rum, and chocoltes filled with whiskey, but nothing properly strong.

i hate dry wines, most white wines and cava. My cousin picks the best red wines though, so i drink them with her (she only lets me have half a glass tho lol)

i dont get much of a hangover except with vodka

You completely confused me with that! I was wondering what I said that was so offensive to get my post deleted...

We once made Absinthe ourselves. Didn't like it much.

[Lotskibob.]

what is absinth like? ive never even seen a bottle before, except on a supermarket shelf

[Perpetuated]

It tastes fucking awful, but if you can get the stuff with wormwood extract in it; the taste is worth it.

You feel awful for a few days, but there's nothing like it for spurring creativity; ask van Gogh.

I still have both ears, by the way.

[Lotskibob.]

lol! the only time ive seen anyone drink it was in the moulin rouge. light weights had 1 shot n started hallucinting

[Perpetuated]

The hallucinations are fictional; and if anyone does have them, it's usually though the placebo effect.

If just gets you very trashed, very quickly.

[JanneK]

I don't really have a favorite drink, but just so I can contribute to this thread, I'll say:

Mekhong whiskey - pretty good, actually. Tasted it for the first time about a year ago when I was in Thailand.

Beer is always good, especially when you're eating meat.

I hate "Gin", and although I dislike cider, there have been some occasions when I've enjoyed it. Though that could be because I was really drunk on those occasions, and it didn't really matter what I was drinking.

I once tried Absinthe and I doubt I´ll make that mistake again. Like Al said, it's pretty strong.

Elenir: It's true, I don't drink all that much. I´m the black sheep of Finland. Don't tell anyone.

[Lotskibob.]

nice lol.

teehe im beign the drunken hobo god gain. lying on my blue sofa, drinking cider, n generaally being bored lol

Im not a very manly drinker, except cider (btw still 10 pts up for grabs if aanyone caan guess the cider county lol), i likes vodka, sweet wine and shandys, and despise lager etc

[Perpetuated]

Somerset.

[Lotskibob.]

yay 10 points to al lol.

i knew ud get it tho, ur very smart

[Lady]

But you don't normally drink Absinthe pure, do you?

Anyone drinks mead beside me?
Recently I only drink it on medieval markets, from my horn. Hot mead beats mulled wine anytime - but is harder to get.
Hm...I think I should get a bottle again soon...

[Lotskibob.]

isnt mead medieval beer?

[Lady]

Uhm..no. It's like...honey wine?
Check out the link (click on "mead" - not here, above)

No, but I drink a lot.

I learned how to prepare it on Wikipedia. No lie.

[Lotskibob.]

[JanneK]

I never knew such a thing existed before you brought it up, Lady (Elenir? Is that your real name?).

Obviously you didn't grow up among LARPers...
Btw, there are smooth and dry kinds, like with wine.

No. But it's what I normally go by on the net. For some strange and unknown reason I decided on another name here.
You're all very welcome to call me like that if you want to.
