What are you drinking tonight?

[Sir Hilary Bray 235]

I've heard bankers called worse.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

Cunts?

[Quintus 5,914]

As opposed to all those mortgage-paying tramps? :/

No, as opposed to whores and easy women/conquesting men.

[Wojo 2,458]

I just had two 9% IPA's. Life is good.

Strongest beer I've had was 41% - it was much nicer than I was expecting.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261]

Tonight... in vino veritas.

[Glóin the Dark 1,644]

And do you swear to drink the wine, the whole wine, and nothing but the wine?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

Had a shot of ouzo and a glass of a fruity greek white wine last night

[Brónach 1,320]

The other day I got drunk with loads of Basque cider, one after another after another after another after another. Sagardoa!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

I had basque cider in Madrid once. Straights from the barrel. Really great experience

[Koray Savas 2,255]

Got drunk on Swirls last night. World's greatest margarita. Frozen sangria and margarita swirled together with lime. The sangria has Everclear in it.

Had screwdrivers with brunch today.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

Not a fan, Marian

[Sweeping Strings 3,031]

Mine's a Jameson and ginger if we're talking whisky .

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

Tried whiskey many a time, I just can't get into it. Gimme rum of Vodka instead.

[nightscape94 967]

I got wrecked on shots of Jameson. Never again.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

I can't ever drink Apfelkorn again for that very reason.

[Wojo 2,458]

I have a bottle of ouzo in my fridge but can't stomach it.

What we have here is...

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

Ouzo is very nice in small doses.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261]

Whiskey is an acquired taste I don't think I'll ever acquire.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

You and me both TheGreyWho!

[Wojo 2,458]

Gimme some water, and I wouldn't say no to somebody's daughter.

[Marian Schedenig 10,838]

I can't stand Ouzo. Which saved me when we went to Athens with the choir.

The Greeks have good beer though:

[Jay 43,908]

The other night I had orange vanilla polar seltzer water mixed with Hennessy. Don't ask why. Regardless, it wasn't bad!

[Koray Savas 2,255]

Captain Morgan for me in that situation.

I like Johnny Walker. Whisky is meant to be savored as an after-dinner sort of thing. A swallow or two and you're good. Not something to knock shots back of.

[Marian Schedenig 10,838]

The fun thing about whisky is that on a longer evening in company (like yesterday's card game session), you can switch between different brands.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

And you cant do that with beer, wine, vodka, rum?

[Marian Schedenig 10,838]

You can, but I don't like pure vodka and rum. With beer, you usually need several per person, so you'd have to plan ahead carefully to get a range of brands for switching.

With whisky, you just build a small collection. Then each bottle lasts for months and you can you have a range to pick from ready at any time.

You can do that with wine, but you need more bottles. I'm still not really a wine drinker though.

[Koray Savas 2,255]

Wine is my preferred alcoholic beverage, but yes, a whisky bottle can last you for years depending on how frequently you partake. I still have an unopened Double Black from awhile back myself.

If you're ever in the southwest of England, Marian, there's a great pub in Devon called the Nobody Inn that has getting on for 250 different types of whisky available. It's in a little village called Doddiscombsleigh on the way up to Dartmoor from Exeter so is very difficult to find, but definitely worth a visit. Here's a linkage thingy:

http://www.nobodyinn.co.uk/

By the way, the spelling whiskey (with an 'e') usually denotes Irish whiskey over here, while whisky denotes that it is from Scotland.

Aye lad!

I'll try to remember that should I ever end up in the vicinity.

Yup. There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of Irish whiskey though, right? At least when I was in Ireland last spring, most pubs focused on Scotch whisky.

[Mr. Brown 91]

I woke up at 4 this morning wanting an ice cold Dos Equis.

[nightscape94 967]

I guess you really did stay thirsty then.

[Jim Ware 612]

I have one of those sitting on my drinks shelf...just added a 16 year old Lagavulin too.

[Mr. Brown 91]

You bet. With no work today, I'm just waiting for 11:30 to roll around.

I don't always wake up at 4 in the morning, but when I do....

[Omen II 1,293]

With my tea this evening I had a can of Spitfire, a nice ale from Britain's oldest brewer Shepherd Neame. It's amusingly subtitled as "The Bottle of Britain". Recommended.

[Sweeping Strings 3,031]

For a while, Armstrong and Miller's 'teen-speak' WW2 airmen characters were on the bottles of Spitfire .

The Lagavulin 16 was the first in my collection. I'm a fan of the Islays.

[Sweeping Strings 3,031]

Last night, a few bottles of Stella Artois (the 4.8% stuff). Dunno how it landed its 'wife-beater' reputation (it's hardly the only 'premium strength' lager available), but what the hell.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

In other countries it doesnt have that reputation at all.

Strange. I haven't heard of that. Restaurants in Manhattan wouldn't mind charging you $9 for a Stella draft.

Pretty tasty beer, though.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275]

In England Stella has the reputation of being drunk by people in tracksuits, or a vest.

[Sharkissimo 1,976]

STELLLLLAAA!!!!!

[Sweeping Strings 3,031]

Last night, there were some English ales ... St. Peter's Organic, Black Sheep's Golden Sheep and IPA Reserve. Lovely.

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

Sounds....brilliant!!

Coconut rum, cranberry juice, pineapple juice. Trying to encourage warmer weather.
