Booze thread.......What's you favorite drink?

[kickstand]

I'm definitely more of a beer man, but every now and then, a cocktail is the way to go....

I love gin and tonics - either Tanqueray 10 or Bombay Sapphire - but they do bad, evil things to me. I try to stay away from them these days. I've been absolutely lit up on them and my wife says the next day, "You were drunk?" It's nice to have that appearance, but not the feeling. G&T does the same to my dad. He would black out after a few and my mom never even knew he was drunk. I guess we hold that particular drink pretty well.

I got into single barrel bourbons a long time ago. Basil Hayden is the spirit of choice, but every now and then I'd splurge on something a little pricier. Not much into scotches - a little smokey for me - but I can drink one every now and then. I had some MacCallan 18 years ago that was very tasty.

Other than those, margaritas or some summery drink like a Stoli raspberry and Sprite will do.

Mostly Boone's. Maybe a Zima every now and then. Michelob Ultra if I'm feeling wild!

:lol:

They still make Zima! A neighbor years ago used to drink that crap by the case. He had so many bottles , it was laughable. I think he was a closet one, but had a wife that was a bodybuilder and deep voice. Wait. He was!

A well-made, standard margarita w/anejo tequila (or at least a decent reposado)...

I no longer imbibe, but when I did, I liked me some rum. Bacardi Select and Coke. Used to be called Bacardi Black. When it starts tasting like all Coke, watch out! Same with Quervo, I knew I was headed for trouble when I actually started to like the taste. My brother in law, another recovering Alcoholic, used to drink Everclear straight, and swish it around in his mouth before he swallowed it, now that's hard core. I also enjoyed Cuba Libres with Captain Morgan's, a great Summer time drink. Ditto for Vodka and lemonade, shit, I used to drink anything. I liked that the bartenders had to wait for me to order, even though I was a regular.

I know a kid in college who did that, except he chugged a third of the bottle. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty impressive.........until 20 minutes later when we had to call 911 and they had to pump his stomach to save his life

We should start a favorite MJ strain thread lol, glad to see you stopped drinking Corn, it must had been hard.

Had the best mojitoes I've ever tasted at a Cuban restaurant last night. Really hit the spot.

Thanks Scotty, yeah back then I couldn't imagine not drinking, now I wonder what the hell I was thinking. I started at 13, splitting pony eight packs of Miller High Life with my buddy at the start of the Summer, by the end of the Summer, we were splitting cases of Schlitz. Much drama and heartache ensued over the next 20 yrs. I believe alcohol is a valuable tool for most people, for alcoholics, it is poison. How this society legalizes booze, yet makes pot illegal is beyond me. Alcohol is far and away more dangerous than weed. I quit that for a year too when my employer started random testing, finally I said f it, if they test me, I'll explain that I no longer drink and need something to help me unwind. If they give me a couple weeks to test again, I'd have no trouble abstaining, well, maybe a little.;-) Skiing has been a great way to channel my addictive personality. It is by far my safest addiction to date, till I hit a tree or a pole! I don't think it is the cheapest addiction I've had in my life however.
