Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

[Megatron1505]

Bourbon was the drink of my youth (I was really into Heavy Metal), and JD was king. I can't even smell the stuff these days without feeling sick, but Bullet is quite nice still. Wild Turkey tastes like petrol to me, can't understand how anyone could possibly enjoy it

I do tend to drink more whisky than bourbon, I usually only buy bourbon if I've no whisky in. Or after 5-6 pints of Guinness (but those days are far behind me, thankfully).

Also should we be worried that we're posting on this (great) thread so early in the morning??

[Megatron1505]

When you're sobering up is the best time to discuss alcohol…....gives you perspective 

[Morose_Penguin]

I shall remember that excuse ;).

I am a big fan of bourbon been trying to track down a bottle of pappy van winkles now for two years. The search continues. My favorite bourbon is Four Roses. When drinking whiskey I like Hibiki.

Scotch is another drink I cannot go near, when I was a teenager there was an unfortunate incident with a stolen bottle of blended scotch, a stanley knife, and a science teachers car…...lets just say that things didn't end well for the car, or my appreciation of Scotch

Good thread. I do like a cocktail myself:

Manhattan
Gin Martini
French 75

Simple cocktails with minimum dilution/clearly delineated ingredients is preferable; Long Island Ice Tea (for example) is trying too hard.

Thats exactly why I love a White Russian

Careful man, there's a beverage here

OMG, probably the best bottle of booze we’ve ever had in the house, and G has already opened it!

We’ve had such a lovely day, might as well finish it in style

[Seul]

No fannying about, the way it should be!..

[Megatron1505]

Mme B, could you deal with my shipping tomorrow please? G might be feeling a little "delicate"  :-\

I'm just enjoying a very common, and very relaxing, Smirnoff and Coke, before the working week kicks the stuffing out of me again

Is absinthe as really that popular in Europe as the media here makes it seem?

[Megatron1505]

You can buy it in most pubs in the UK (well, around here you can), my local convenience store also has it, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it popular. I have drank it on occasions, and always found it a little disappointing.
