you have excellent taste my friend

i don't drink much cuz i really just don't get out that often. but, i love amaretto. i can just drink that stuff straight. other than that i'm willing to try anything. although i have to say i really don't like beer from what i've tried so far. but i haven't tried that many, either. i think i'm more of a hard liquor kind of person tbh

Post by: RichChap on April 24, 2013 11:58 PM
ayinger and chimay are two of my favorite beers.

whenever blue moon is on tap at a bar im pretty happy with that.

ive been much more into wine lately than beer but i recently went through a long beer phase.

hendricks gin and tonic is good

i love eggnog with rum when its done right but thats really just for the holidays.

champagne is always a favorite.

also can't go wrong with malt liquor, preferably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az0_O-nIWU0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az0_O-nIWU0)

It seems most people are either/or. For the longest time I only drank liquor; it's probably a combination of finding a style of beer that suits you and acquiring a taste for it. After so many occasions where liquor wasn't available or was overpriced, I just went and tried everything until something stuck (it probably helps if you're already inebriated on something more palatable like cider before you try a new beer).

Now I actually don't drink Liquor too much since I don't throw parties as often as I'd like. I had some after a few beers at a club the other night and felt so sick afterwards.

There is absolutely nothing gross about whiskey straight, but I haven't had any since the four horsemen I drank at my 21st. What's good?

Incidentally I once drank a third of a bottle of tequila straight and it wasn't as gross as it sounds. I proceeded to roll around on the floor to feel the carpet...took forever tracking down all videos of that night and deleting them >>;

have you tried dark beer? I found that most people who dislike regular beer consider dark beer to be much better.

Duckstein is a great German red blond beer with a magnificent taste. Actually I'm from Bremen and should support Beck's which isn't bad... but you kinda lose a bit of your fascination when something is the norm in your area... Additionally, I really like a Danish lager called Faxe (because Vikings, mofo). Last but not least, I love all sorts of German wheat beers, which also mix well with banana juice. If you ever have the cance to try one of these, go for it!

Other than that I am a great fan of Scotch Whisky. Chivas Regal is pretty amazing. Tasts well blended with Coke and on the rocks. And above that it's one of the cheapest relly good ones that I know.

 Any beer is fine with me.

However, honestly though, I am particularly fond of hard liquor. I do enjoy some vodka and rum every now and then.

I end up drinking fruity vodkas a lot because most of my friends are women, but if I have the choice of alcohol I usually drink straight whiskey. Maker's Mark is very nice.

I can attest. I fucking hated beer until I tried dark. Dark is pretty tolerable, and doesn't taste exactly like retention pond water.
Also Mexican beer is okay.

In Bremen we have Beck's which seems to be quite popular all around the world for some reason, as it is sold internationally and I have literally not come accross any country where you cannot find it at the supermarket or cour local liquor store so far... It really isn't my #1 choice in regards to beer, although it definitely isn't bad.
Wheatbeer (not as a brand but as a type of beer) from the southern regoins of Germany is pretty recommendable tho! It has a really sweet and smooth taste. It can also be mixed with babana juice, which makes one magnificent drink.

nahhh

I mean, I live in the wine capital of the US, so there's good wine. As far as beer goes, I don't know that much about how to make beer, but the hops in my area are really well suited for making some tasty beer.  :cool:

Drinking warm beer is disgusting. I love the winter because my beer doesn't warm up instantly it takes time to and by the time it does begin to get warm you've already finished most of it. In the summer it often gets up to and over 40C (I think that's 110F or something.) As for my preferences I do enjoy my whiskey, beer is what I drink at the end of the night to keep me at my current state of drunkenness.

My friend got me a bottle of Glenfiddich which I have been enjoying lately.

I tried this at a bar nearby and thought it was pretty good. Next thing I know, its the only thing I've been drinking all summer. Apparently there's a lemon-berry one that comes out in the fall so I'll have to go hunting through liquor stores to find it.
