Favorite Alkie Drink

[jack's smirking revenge]

Whiskey, all of a sudden you have my utmost respect. I'm sitting here in a hotel room in Chi-town on a business trip and all I could find for alcohol (heck if I'm paying $5.00 a bottle for a beer and more than that for a good mixed drink at the bar) was a flask of Jack in the Marketplace section of Marshall Field's of a nearby mall (god bless Marshall Field's). Bought some Coke and set myself up. Being a fruity drink guy, I haven't had much tolerance for Jack & Coke and I still don't. Man it's icky. Hats off to all you f'ers who actually LIKE Jack & Coke! You'se a whole 'nother breed.

I paid $6.50 for a pint of Smithwick's at an Irish pub in Glen Ellyn on the weekend.

<==glad to be back in Wisconsin where a $1.00 pint can STILL be found.

Breaking news.... Leini's Berry Weiss is on the shelves!!! (It's a seasonal beer). I had my first honey bear last night and was in heaven!!

A honey bear is half Berry and half Honey Weiss. it's AWESOME !

i like lieni's, however berryweis is nothing more than a wine cooler. its kinda the beer for people who don't really like beer. beer isn't ment to be sweet. thats my take.

kinda like at the last nascar race i attended. (MIS). the skoal team brought down a big trailer with racing artifacts and other skoal racing stuff. at the end of the tour you are able to get free samples. well the newest product line is berry flavored chew. if that isn't aimed at getting newbies to start i don't know what is. I think it is terrible habit and tastes like crap, but even i could keep a dip in for a while when it tastes like cool-aid.

True Whiskey, I think the Berry is too sweet. Thats why I like it half and half with the Honey. You should try it, although I doubt you'll see any Leini Lodges set up on the Nascar circuit....but I bet I could find a Pabst somewhere

JSM - you're in Chicago and paying $5 for a beer? That's pretty cheap, especially for a hotel!

And ditto on the Berries & Cream Dr. Pepper. Try the diet though. Dr. P is the one soda where I actually prefer their diet vs regular.

What age did everyone start drinking? Is it something i should Really avoid more till im older?

Saw an article yesterday that reminded me of this discussion.

A nice cold 'Dark and Stormy'.

That's good quality Dark Caribbean or Bermudan ie Black Seal Rum poured in a glass, packed with crushed ice and toped to fiz. with quality ginger beer.

First one, then another, than another and so on because they are so good. . . and then in the sack with a woman with skills.

Another favourite with a proven record is a drink called. .
'Between the sheets'. Women love this one. The ingredients are costly though but the taste and . . . ' the TASTE ', far exceeds a Zombie.

Oh yeaa !

I love coronas! Also some damned vodka and oragne juice is just SO GOOD!

Tequila, straight out the bottle or in a cup. No need for mixing it with anything.

hoooWHAHHHH!! That shit is not playing around.

Did anyone mention and Old-Fashioned? C'mon people, your from Wisconsin...your all suppose to be addicted to Old Fashioned's. Below is a recipie from drinkoftheweek.com. See the Wisconsin mention!

Old Fashioned
More popular than cheese in Wisconsin

2 oz. Brandy or Whiskey
dash Angostura Bitters
3 oz. Squirt or Grapefruit Soda
Maraschino Cherry
Garnish with Lemon & Orange Slices

Mix with ice in an Old-fashioned (Rocks) glass, or a shaker for larger quantities. Add cherry and garnish.
Bitters can be substituted for store bought Old-Fashioned Mix.
Use 7UP for a sweeter drink.

Your not suppose to mix ANYTHING with Jack Daniels. It's a sipping Whiskey and is meant to be sipped...you know, or chugged....not added to a mixer to dilute its wonderful flavor. That goes for Early Times, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, Maker's Mark or any other fine alcohol based libation. (hic...)

OK, now that I am done preaching...

My favorite beer is Bass Ale but I love the stuff from the small Micro-Breweries. Is Point beer still around? I know Leine's is right? They do have some pretty good micro's around Atlanta.

I don't know if I have a favorite alcoholic beverage...I drink Tanqeray and Tonics and Old Fashioned's (of course). That's about it...I hate the fruity stuff.

On the encouragement of my doctor, I am drinking more wine. Of course I think that whole tannins, red wine stuff is BS but heh, when the Doctor says drink, who am I to say no? I find I like the dry reds more than anything but other than that I don't know much about the stuff...I drink what taste good to me.

(Sorry about the multiple POSTs...I'm trying to get enough in to change my "rat" moniker and so I can apply to the "Garbage Can".

start your own blog....you should get to 200 in no time at all!!

Of course, if you add Southern Comfort and Slow Gin to the Vodka and OJ mixture, you know what you've got, right? A Slow Comfortable Screw! But you probably don't want to do that...you'll end up with another "Uh, oh" post.
