>>805Yes, it is. The drink is from a time when alchemy was a big thing. Gold was believed to offer positive effects on the human body.
Nowadays I guess they do it for the looks and as a stand-out marketing scheme. It is a really small amount per bottle and one of them is still cheaper than most whiskey.

Mostly beer and cider, mostly cheap and local. And I add baileys or whiskey in my coffee from time to time, and top ice cream with it.
That's it. Can't stomach wine, it's just spoiled grape juice for me; and can't stotmach unblended 40 abv drinks, they all stink ethanol. Except for this one time someone treated me to a shot of whiskey and it was delicious, a bit sweet and smokey, but not too much, and without this ethanol stink. And I didn't have an opportunity to ask what brand and age it was. And I will never know the name of this happiness juice.
Bollocks.
No.4970
I often end up just drinking whatever I have left over, meaning mostly hard liquor (bourbon) because it doesn't spoil. I really like white, and to a lesser extent rosé wine. Finally, mixed drinks are really fun to make, but I don't have the tools or bar for it at the moment.
Beer is alright, but I don't get the drunk feeling as quick so it just seems kind of pointless. Dark beer is really good though.
No.4973
Was experimenting with a few different types of drinks for the past few months. I only care about getting drunk really. I liked sake like a weeb but for some reason way cheaper beer got me way more drunk way faster. I think it's true what they say about the bubbles, fuck the alcohol content, I wasted my damn money. Recently I discovered this Bud brand, forgot the name I think it was Bud light rita. The can said it had a content around or higher than some other malt-liqeur brands and it tastes decent so it seems to be the best go to choice. Also it's cheaper. I heard of some extremely cheap high alcohol sweet drinks in Japan that could easily be abused by people, perhaps it's the western equivalent?
No.4974
>>4972Similar to me I think.
I mostly stick with whisky/whiskey and some rum. Akevitt is nice also, but I mostly drink that during the holidays. These days I'm drinking a bottle of Nikka Coffey Grain whiskey. Rum and some bourbons like the one from Bulleit is nice on days where I want something sweeter.
I drink most of my alcohols neat, not to be some kind of pretentious purist, but I like to keep things simple. I also enjoy the taste of it without mixing anything, so I never really think about making a mixed drink. Adding half a teaspoon of water is sometimes nice tho.

>>4973If you just want to get plastered for cheap and nothing else matters, make your own. Water, sugar and yeast gets you some ghetto ass sugar wine that will get you absolutely pulverized for a long time for a couple bucks.

Didn't have time to get anything for this friday night, so I'm writing this instead as a substitute. I mainly drink beer, it's what I enjoy most and one beer lasts longer than a drink or straight pour of something. I do enjoy rum for more festive occasions, and during holidays I like to get some whiskey to sip on in the evening, but I don't like getting drunk on those that much. Not wine either. Like the taste of all three very much, but the inebriation feels hollow somehow. I guess there's something in the hops or something that's essential for my enjoyment.
My go-to beers I think are Lagunitas Maximus, any of Fullers stuff, Newcastles and Baron Trenck.
Also have two beers I've only drunk once but that I still remember dearly.
A Rochefort, don't remember which number, bought two once as a birthday gift to myself and goddamn. Beautiful, so much depth but also some bright glares, sweet like some dried fruit, almost spicy (not as in hot). Almost wept over that I got to taste something so amazing, someone as insignificant as me.
The other is Lagunitas Dark Swan, still haven't tasted anything like it, which makes sense since it's brewed very differently. Very large, quite sour (in an unusual but good & tasty way).

Trying to stop drinking so heavily. I've been successful so far, haven't had any alcohol alone or gotten really drunk in a couple of months.

No.8477
>>8467You're supposed to water it down with ice water that is slowly run over a sugar cube that is held above the glass using that fork. The sugar should react with something in the absinthe and turn it a cloudy green if your absinthe is using the real ingredients. The effect is really cool! It's not something like whiskey where you drink it straight. You can also use it in cocktails like the corpse reviver #2. I've heard of people mixing absinthe with Mexican Coke as well. Any cola with real sugar should work and cause that reaction that turns it cloudy.
