Okay here it is, the thread dedicated to alcohol. In this thread I'm sure we'll hear many a wonderfully bizzare stories and ideas. It's also a chance to try and sound sophisticated and self disciplined when discussing favourite drinks.
I'll start with my favourite drinks, and some least favourites! Grolsch is my beer of choice, nice and refreshing, and although it can expensive, it's buy one get one free in Tesco at the moment, so I'm stocked up! Of the very common lager, I do like Fosters, although it's a bit oily somehow. Stella is horrible I think, can't stand the stuff, and Carling is just pathetic. Some of the less well known beers and ales are nice too, even if you just share the stories on the labels and compare the elegance of the bottle. I've found out the hard way that both Cider and Tequila do not go down well, and after just one drink I feel sick. The drink I'm enjoying the most right now is double whiskey and coke, with a piece of orange. It is surprising how much of a difference a piece of orange makes, really transforms the drink and I urge any fellow whiskey fans to try it. Infact, at our local pub it is ?3 for a double and a mixer, so enticing I spent ?33 on it just a few weeks back, although I'm not going to do that again for a while. Whiskey on its own can be nice, but I think it all depends on the whiskey. JD is horrible, unless mixed with coke, at which point they all taste very similar. Jim Beam is decent, I do like the warm sensation I get when I drink it. Of course, the great advantage of whiskey to me is that it makes me a good drunk. Beer tends to make me sleepy, whiskey makes me lively and chatty, almost rowdy. I'll party on until I have no more whiskey to fuel me, and then I may attempt to find more, having said that, I've never got very far. I'm also fortunate not to be able to get hangovers, and I've put some serious effort into trying to get one. Only time I felt rough was when I drank 10ish bottles of Grolsch, didn't pee, got home, went to bed. I woke up in the morning feeling very, very bad, with every organ inside me presumably dying. Anyway, I'll share my many drunken stories once this thread gets going. :cheese:
