maynardNew MemberOPi thought there might be a demand for a discussion on drinks for sharing what we enjoy to drink and maybe give recommendations :yes:
as for me, i never stray too far from beer, but i go through my phases in drinking. i was on a wine kick for a while...discovering german whites and chilean reds
lately, i have been on a bourbon kick and i really enjoy it. i have found a few that i can enjoy neat
the latest bottle im drinking is Eagle Rare 10 year, single barrel, straight bourbon. very nice got it on sale for 20 bucks
what about you?

Boik14subscriberIf Im drinking hard liquor its Southern Comfort, Johnnie Walker Blue Label or Black Label, Jack and Coke or Grey Goose. Occasionally a shot of Goldschlager or Jagermeister if Im taking care of the 4 horsemen :)
If its beer, Sam Adams (and all their varieties) is my favorite. Heineken, Killians, Yeungling, Bass, Hoegarden are runner ups.
If its wine I like white. Dr. L is my favorite Riesling. I only really drink Rieslings, Chardonay, Pinot Grigio etc if its with a dinner.

I can't get enough gin. Whether it's with tonic water or Sprite, get me gin (Old Raj) with a lime and I'm happy. I also like my vodka; Grey Goose please.
My girlfriend is a bar tender so she usually makes me some pretty good drinks outside of those two.
I am usually a beer guy, though. Dos Eqis LAGER, not Amber, is the best beer. Especially if you can find one of those oh so special Mexican restaurants that happens to have it on draft. I do enjoy Blue Moon, Deschutes and if I'm going light beer, it's Bud Light.
a few years ago, i drove around with a handle of tanqueray and bottles of tonic in the trunk of my car for whenever...read all the time lol. then i puked off of it and havent had it since lol. good times
the other day in publix i saw a special release of blue moon. it was in the wine section in a tall bottle. it was over 8% alcohol. might be something cool to treat yourself to

Phinvader BillNew MemberI'm strictly a beer guy, although if someone buys me a shot at a bar, I'll drink it. I like GOOD moonshine too, but only 4 ounces tops in a night, and thats only on occasion.
But, I've been a Bud guy all my life, but recently switched to Bud Light.

im surprised you were able to make the transition :tongue2:
i would love to try some homemade stuff. you can probably get it pretty easy where you live. i have never heard of anyone that makes their own stuff here. home brewing is starting around here just a bit.

the trick is a slice of pizza and some gatorade before bed. Pizza absorbs the alcohol, gatorade replenishes lost potassium and other minerals. No hangover or nausea. It's a beautiful thing lol
maynardNew Membernice lol. i usually pop a couple of advil before bed for prevention.

your palate and mine are exact opposite. i think thats what separates a lot of people. you like the lighter beers and clearer, more "pure" hard stuff.
i happen to love dogfish head lol, steeped in truckload of hops and full of bitterness. and ill sip bourbon warm and on its own after i clean my gas grill with it lol

Thats the part I disliked. Too bitter for my taste but I had to try it.
