Alcohol

I do not drink, but everyone I know does. I just don't understand the attraction, as in my experience, alcholic products smell bad and taste worse. I am puzzled as to the popularity of alcohol, and for this reason I have created this thread. Essentially, I am interested in finding out what kind of alcohol people on TLR like (eg. beer, wine, spirits), and the brands that they prefer. So tell us all, what is your preferred intoxicant? Asahi (beer)? Generic Champagne? Absolut Vodka?

Blue stuff? Windex? You can use it in a tropical drink like Moe .
I'm surprised that you didn't mention Bailey's. That's supposed to be very popular.

I thought that "Stella Artois" was the proverbial "girl's drink"!

Aass Pilsner, this is a must for beer lovers.
And good Cognac, that's about it really.
But I'm not above drinking anything I can get my hands on for free, yes that even includes (shudder) grappa and genever.

I don't drink much, I'll go months with nery a thought. But when I do, I go for flavourful mix drinks, but none of that fruity, tropical ****.

double vodka with ice and a bottle of bud

have you ever used your light saber to open a bottle of Bud Light???????

Post Fri Jan 02, 2004 7:23 pm

I tend to favor dark beers or stouts. My favorite brands are...

Full Sail (horray 4 micro-breweries!)
Sam Adams (mmmm. Octoberfest)
Guiness

Wine is ok, but I'm repelled by dry stuff. German desert wines are tops imo. Champaign, if it's there I'll have some (gotta be festive you know) Now Taquila (sp?) is NOT on my good list. Not rum either. Yucky stuff that.

Now somone tell me; should I have an opinion on this at my age?

Post Fri Jan 02, 2004 8:04 pm

You're not alone, esquilax; I don't drink (alcohol) either. Or rather, I can't drink alcohol (once again, that whole thing about my having undergone chemotherapy, blah blah). But it's all the same, I honsestly can't stand the stuff. One sip of beer in my pre-teen years was enough to set me straight. I thought I was gonna spill my lunch right then and there.

@ Bob

How old are you then, that you deprive yourselves of an opinion on the matter??
