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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Making the journey to the alcohol shop tomorrow again to restock the cache, having a hard time deciding on what to get.
Never had pastis before, so quite curious about a bottle of that. Only have budget for one bottle more, and being pulled between either whisky cause that's nice, gin because the local alc. store finally got in plymouth which I've been curious to try because I've seen good reviews of it and I like gin… But also have a hunch that pastis and gin might be of slightly the same territory as pastis tastewise. Then also have a craving for some Gammel Dansk (danish bitter snaps) which is really good in coffee. But again, it almost has some almost liquorice character in it, and pastis has anise tones, again with the territory problem.
Maybe writing that out help me figure, feel like I should go for whisky & gin, and then the bitter snaps has half size bottles available so it's still within budget. And then I can postpone trying out pastis until there is hotter weather and some good company to enjoy it with as well. Though there is another domestic bitter snaps I want to try too… I am not good at making decisions. ;_;

Excuse the triple, but figure the tasting notes is the most important part. Didn't notice until I was looking at the bottle that the whisky is 46% rather than the usual 40% almost all spirits available here are. Surprisingly smooth and round though in spite of that. Almost as if someone had dissolved fudge in spirits. Very gentle and almost muted. I did taste it right after opening, so hope it opens up a bit with some time.
The pastis was interesting. Essentially like drinking slightly floral liquid liquorice. Not sure it's my type of thing, but I didn't dislike it. Think it would do well under certain circumstances. Slightly annoyed at it though because even now a full day later with having the window open, my room still smells like pastis/liquorice. I don't understand how it can cling to the air so much, from just a single pour.

not double vision, i was sober by that stage, but a distinct ghost image about every high contrast item in my sight, such as trees against the sky, road markers/lines, signposts etc
at the time it concerned me as it wasn't something that normally happened when hungover, i wasn't wearing my glasses at time so perhaps it was just amplifying my astigmatism through being dehydrated but curiously did not occur when drinking similar amounts of other spirits

Drinking a rusty nail with some scotch I bought the other day. For blended scotch I usually get something pretty plain but this time I picked something that was advertised as having some peat to it, and I like the layers that it adds to the drink. I'm unsure how "acceptable" it is to mix a rusty nail with a good single malt, but I'm tempted to try it, I have a bottle of Ardbeg 10 sitting around.
No.11520
>>11511I wouldn't bother about that. How good can a drink be if you mix it with cheap stuff? Just use the good things. The only difference is that you can drink the good beverages without mixing them while the bad ones are almost undrinkable if not mixed.
Anyway you surely have a bottle of drambuie around, else you wouldn't be able to drink a rusty nail. Therefore I suggest trying a aberdeen angus.

I recently discovered that Sailor Jerry's rum and Mr Pure apple juice mix pretty darn nicely. Its smooth, fruity, and not too strong. The kind of drink I can have 1 or 2 of after work and feel pretty nice without getting too tipsy

If you have both on hand, try putting a shot of Campari into a pint of light beer with a squeeze of lime. Surprisingly great.

>>11784pls tell me how to make such a thing for myself if you can, pls thank you
No.11789
>>11788Yeah sure. You need some kind of coffee sack or bag made from cheese cloth material that will hold the coffee grounds and a pitcher/container. Well, you can also soak the coffee grounds directly in water, but then you need to go through the hassle of straining it afterward. Coarse ground coffee is the ideal for cold brew, but I think regular works too. I use a 1:4 ratio of coffee grounds to water. So for 1 cup of coffee, you use 4 cups of water. You let the coffee soak in the water for 24 hours refrigerated. Afterward, remove the coffee sack and that's it, easy cold brew coffee concentrate to last you the whole week. Generally you dilute this 1:1 with water when you actually make something to drink. Some people go 1:1 with hot water to drink it hot, but that seems off to me so I've never done it.

I bought some Mead from a local(ish) brewery last week, and ive been sipping on it since. The only distinction this type has is that its brewed with beer yeast (whatever that means). It honestly tastes a lot like wine, which im not much of a fan off, but smoother and sweeter. Its really sweet at first, but on the swallow you get a lot of the yeasty-beer flavor.
No.12468

Wanted to make a flaming hot toddy, but I didn't have whisky on hand, so I used Bacardi 151. 0/10, would absolutely recommend. Very warming, very sharp. If you like not enjoying your drink at all, try it out. Let it burn, though, you're going to need that alcohol weakened.
