Im old fashioned. Long Island Iced Teas every time.
I really like a good scotch. I've never been able to handle sugar too much, so alcoholism isn't much of a threat. I get sick LONG before I could ever get drunk. So I'm lucky that I can drink pretty freely but not have it consume me. And for that, whiskey and scotch is the main drink. Lower calorie, and all the bang for the buck. But a good bottle will last me a few months if not longer. I like wine, too.TylerDurden;11336983 said:Not a drinker, when I was younger I would alternate depending on my mood.
Pissed off after working a ****ty job - boilermakers.
Relaxing with a good book - scotch (that I couldn't really afford) on the rocks.
I've only been really ****ed up twice in my life. I blame it on "rum and coke" and Long Island Iced Tea. To this day, I cannot drink rum or regular Coke to save my life.KilgoreTrout;11336977 said:Im old fashioned. Long Island Iced Teas every time.
There is no way for a man to look like a man and yet be drinking through a straw. It just doesn't work.KilgoreTrout;11337012 said:straws are for *******.
I only like drinking a couple of beers, Shiner Bock and some ciders. If Im somewhere a bit nicer and a mixed drink is called for, LIT only.MacG22;11337037 said:I've only been really ****ed up twice in my life. I blame it on "rum and coke" and Long Island Iced Tea.

No singapore slings with mescal on the side?:supergrin:Swan1172;11337090 said:Beer and Jack Daniels are my two favorites. Depends on what kind of a mood I am on which one I grab. What I can say is that I get ****ed up way faster on beer than on whiskey.
I will throw back some Patron on occasion.KilgoreTrout;11337099 said:No singapore slings with mescal on the side?:supergrin:
A boilermaker is just your average blue collar guy's Irish car bomb - shot of whiskey with a beer. Some guys down the whiskey and chase it with the beer, some pour the whiskey in the beer, some drop the whole shot glass in.MacG22;11337027 said:I really like a good scotch.

Never had a boilermaker. Do you mind telling me what's in it? Is the non-drinking due more to the Mormon wife or to a substantive change of heart?
Like others have said, it depends on my mood.MacG22;11336965 said:As many of you know, I have Irish roots. And as I just learned a few moments ago...for the millionth time... a few Irish Car Bombs and the world begins to look pretty good again. I found the car bomb with a few of my Irish mates, who were kind enough to tell me that weak beer wasn't everything, and that the best way to garnish a guinness was with Baileys and Jameson. I was 22. And it's been love ever since.
As a matter of information...what's you favorite drink and how did you find it? I'd love to get to know the Mayhem boys a bit better. No better way.
Oh. Since my Kerouac days I've loved Tequila. We used to take the trips down to mexico...spear fishing, campfires, peppers in the food and tequila in the glasses. Great memories.Swan1172;11337112 said:I will throw back some Patron on occasion.

I like beer at any time. Imports and Microbrews mostly. Hoegaarden is my favorite. I like a good black and tan. Most Sam Adams I love. Found it by trying different beers.
Wow. The german part of my genes means that beer is excellent. But my favorite, among all the others, is Hoegaarden. No one really knows about it, and it is amazing stuff.
My German genes concur as well sir. Ever had it half and half with a Guinness? If not, try it. Heavenly! I pretty much like all unfiltered wheat style beers... the citrus aroma and flavor is something special.MacG22;11337349 said:Wow. The german part of my genes means that beer is excellent.
