Uh, wrong forum.

Bacardi 151, Absolut Vodka for sure. Vodka is the devil :twisted:
Jose Cuervo is a personal favorite, Sambuca, Jagermeister w/ Red Bull when playing baseball or a sport at a party. Jack Daniels is a bit over-rated IMHO, although it's popular.
Japanese or Chinese rice wine, Vodka, Cognac. The Good ol Beer is also good.

Ah, I do love a good drink. Wine, or sometimes sake, but I'll drink beer as well. And any hard liquor except for vodka and tequila.
My favourite mixed drink is probably martinis or Tom Collins :D
Labatts (blue)! American beer = bleech

Hmm, most alcohol is just bleeeechhhhh, but...
Tequiza isn't bad. Like a good Zinfandel too.
But then again, my tolerance is horrible... so I don't do much. So my tolerance stays low... yay, infinite loop. Just like my video drivers...
Hmm.. you really shouldn't be posting on a forum between 6pm on the 31st of December and 6pm on the 1st of January IMO. :)
But to the topic at hand. My favourite alcoholic drink is Budweiser, and sometimes when I'm in the mood I like Jack Daniels or Southern Comfort.

The best game to go with Alcohol is Monkey Ball. Monkey Fall, one chug, and then next guy and repeat. Best Party game ever. :P
You should not be drinking too much. My dad say it will harm your liver bad.
What's this about those ultra-expensive vodka brands? Absolut, Finlandia, Danzka etc. It's vodka, for crying out loud! Tastes all the same und even if it didn't I wouldn't care after the 3rd shotglass. Why buy a bottle of Absolut for €15 if I can have el-cheapo vodka for €3.99? It's not like vodka was like whisky where you can actually taste a difference between some cheap blended piss (Jim Beam e.g.) and a 15 year old single malt.
So my favourite alcohol would be Vodka Uranov/Rachmaninov/Zarewitsch/Gorbatschov/whatever, as long as the price is <€5 :-)

I have never been drunk a day in my life.
I would have picked up something higher proof then the vodka but the liquor i was looking for isn't sold around here (something around 198 proof). I was planning on using it for mixing anyway.

I think its a personal choice.

New years eve , 3 blunts of weed , a hit of x and 20 shots of diffrent liquer. no throwing up , no passing out. I'm a big boy and i like partying

Well as long as you don't substitute your daily water with alcohol you should be alright. :wink:

Mario Party is a good drunken game.
And there is a huge difference in Vodka taste. Go take a shot of Skol or Osco Brand Vodka and then take a shot of Skyy, Stolichnaya or grey goose. There is a huge difference.

If you are truly from Germany then the same way different beers taste differently, same with vodka. What are you some uncultured swine.

Hardly. I can taste differences in beer, in wine and in whiskey. But vodka? Oh please. Sure one brand might taste a bit milder than the other but that's about it. Don't tell me that Finlandia or Absolut taste "better" than some cheapo vodka. It's probably exactly the same crap as any cheapo vodka brand, anyway. Just in a fancy bottle.
It's not like there was an aging process involved or you could actually taste what kind of wood the barrel was made of or whatever. Honestly, why is Absolut so expensive? Do they hand-pick their wheat, rye or potatoes or whatever it is made of?
There is just nothing about the vodka production process which could possibly lead to a huge discrepancy in quality or taste - as long as you know what you are doing.
Hell, I am sure there might be some nutters claiming to be able to taste what kind of charcoal was used for filtering. Yes, there are subtle differences in taste but is more like a "Coke vs. Pepsi" difference and not a "Jim Beam vs. Dalwhinny 15 year old" difference. It does not really matter.

I don't know what Dalwhinny is, but I can readily taste the difference between Coke and Pepsi, and I much prefer Coke. The difference in taste is to the point that I drink Coke by the case, but if a restaurant serves Pepsi products, I'll just drink water. I can also easily tell whether the Coke came from a can or a plastic bottle.
The importance of the subtle difference in vodkas depends greatly on how you are using it, I imagine. If you're mixing a kool-aid drink in a garbage can, a few cheap 1.75 liter bottles of generic vodka will be just fine.
My drinks of choice right now are a dry gin martini w/ 2 olives, and white russians. I don't like the mass-market american beers, but Leinenkugel's and smaller micro-brews are pretty good. I'll occasionally drink a bottle of white zinfadel, too.

Dalwhinnie. (http://www.scotchwhisky.net/malt/dalwhinnie.htm)
Anyway, the point ist not that there isn't a difference between Coke and Pepsi. There is and personally, I can only stand Diet Coke. Classic Coke and anything produced by Pepsi with the exception of Mountain Dew (which isn't available here anyway) makes me want to barf out my soul.
The point is that you cannot objectively claim that Pepsi is better or worse than Coke (or vv). It's simply a matter of personal preference. It is not like sugared water by Coke was of inherently higher quality than sugared water by Pepsi. A 10+ year old single malt Scotch on the other hand IS of higher quality than whatever piss Jim Beam Co. sell as whisky. That's what I was trying to say in reference to vodka - I just don't see any notable difference in quality between cheap and expensive vodka and I honestly doubt there is any. In the case of stuff like vodka, it's all marketing and psychology.

Yes and my point is that the "generic" vodka is pretty much the same as the brand vodka. Because it's vodka.

A bit harsh, if you ask me. I'm not a great fan of Vodka of any description but I can appreciate differences between different brands.
I'm told that different Tequilas (Mezcals?) can be obtained which are similar to Malt whisky, but the only time I've come across Tequila is when I'm pissed out of my brain already and therefore can't appreciate any taste whatsoever :lol:
Drinkswise, my favourite at the moment (apart from decent beer) is Gin & Tonic - I used to like Bombay Sapphire, but I've found Plymouth Gin is much better. The amusing thing about this stuff is that the building in which it is distilled was the place where the Pilgrim Fathers slept before they began their journey! Obviously, it wasn't a distillery in those days!
One final word: (American) Budweiser - No! Every time I've had a bottle of this stuff I've wondered where they left the taste.

I am the same way although I ask the waiter to pretend with me that the pepsi is coke.

I definately can tell the difference between bottled and canned, also Pepsi and Coke I can tell the difference. I usually have problems telling the difference between Pepsi and Coke when it is from a restaurant, mainly because the mixtures are severely different.
Drinking plain water is the best for healthy. Too much alcohol is :twisted:

Wow, comparing $3.99 el-cheapo vodka to topshelf? That's a sin. :)
Of the topshelf vodkas, I actually like Vox the best. Still, I would have to say that my favorite vodka is Tanq Sterling. Very smooth, and it's got a very very subtle taste. It's also about middle of the road in terms of price.
So far I haven't been all that terribly impressed with any of the moderately expensive whiskeys and scotches I've tried (not a lot admittedly). My favorite so far is probably a $30-40 bottle of doublewood scotch we bought (which is pretty good for scotch). Some of my friend's shelled out for Glenfiddich and I really didn't like it much. It had a really harsh flavor.
For New Years, I decided to try something new any actually it's become a couple of my friend's new favorite drink. I have to say I've become pretty fond of it too. It's Linie Aquavit. *very* good stuff. It's a bit like a scotch or a whiskey, but it's encredibly smooth. It has a *really* good flavor as well. About $18 a bottle too.

I had some courvoisier tonight and I must sayt aht I wasn't that impressed. It was pretty smooth and had a sweet taste but I still like Jack Daniels better. It also had a syruppy smell to it.

But you can't really compare a Cognac to Whisky - totally different beasts.
I quite like some single malts such as Glenmorangie - mainly the paler ones I prefer.
How about Absinthe? Anybody else tried this lovely ( :shock: ) drink?
Thinking about it, I believe it's still illegal in most of Europe, although I'm not too sure about the US.
But you can't really compare a Cognac to Whisky - totally different beasts.
Actually when they both get old enough they share many of the same qualities.
Personal preferences: McAllan 30 year (Yes I have one, having a brother working for a whiskey specialist in Edinburgh has its perks 8) ), Bowmore Darkest Islay ( for a cheap good Islay whiskey) and Talisker 10 year ... and alot of others. If you like Islay whiskeys, you should try to get Chieftains (independent bottler) Caol Isla red wine wood finish, it's superb and cheap too.
I quite like some single malts such as Glenmorangie - mainly the paler ones I prefer.
They have a special wood finish one that has a scent of apples, I loved that oned. If you like Glenmorangie you'd like most Speyside and Highland Whiskeys, all very smooth and round in taste and flavour with lots of sherry to them (especially the McAllans).
