What do GH'ers pour in their glass after a long day? Personally, I am a man of distinguished mustache and cigar flavored steak tastes. Drink of choice being scotch and sometimes cognac, but mostly scotch. Ardbeg Uigeadail and The Glenlivet 18 Year Old Speyside are currently my favorites among the golden ichor of the gods known as scotch. What's in your glass?

This stuff right here, oh yes please.

[jwaz]

I like beer. Belgian sours and west coast style IPAs most of all. just picked up some St. Georges B&E bourbon that I find quite good. Had a bottle of glenlivet 21 that I was quite fond of a while ago but it is long gone

[demik]

beer fan. although i haven't drank in a long time.

belgium wheat for me!

Wow, I like your style!!!  Belgian style sours and west coast IPAs FTW!

I'm mostly a beer man myself. But when I'm not enjoying my Canadian or Coors light (feel free to rip my head off) I enjoy a good gin with carbonated water and a bit of lemon (not tonic or club soda, too sweet). I used to have a drink "sparkler" that would carbonate my drinks for me but it got recalled for exploding. I miss that device.

You know how I feel about you drinking coors light! Also, club soda is just carbonated water...tonic is the sweet stuff. Your sparkler was just making club soda

When I have money, I like to drink IPAs. But most of the time I buy whatever is on sale, cause I needs me fix.

Oh and I do enjoy my cider, miss being able to buy my favorite...Ontario sucks for booze really.

[Seltox]

Poor student here, so I mostly just drink whatever the local beer is (mostly Carlton Draught for me)


But when I get to have my choice of beer i'll drink Asahi.  It's my favourite beer ^_^


But again, that's only beer.  My real favourites are Scotch & Jagermeister.

I tried the Strawberry Lime and Apple Blackcurrant flavours of Rekordelig Cider for the first time the other day - pretty great stuff.

Otherwise, I'm usually happy with just a simple beer, mostly Coronas.

[Halverson]

You guys down under gotta drink the good stuff! Drank a lot of that while failing to fish off the beaches.

[GMC]

Gotta be a Balvenie Doublewood...


Quite partial to a 16 year old Lagavulin as well.

[rowdy]

Something in the vodka line usually goes down quite well. Wisent is very smooth. Absolut vanilla is another favourite.

Or a simple beer, probably Asahi, Kirin or Corona in that order.

Haha, is it wrong that import beers are our favourite? Personally I hate Tooheys and VB.

[Halverson]

^Tooheys and VB are pretty horrible haha. Drank a lot of Becks there, till they stopped importing it and opened a factory somewhere there for it...never quite tasted the same.

[Seltox]

I'm really not a fan of VB, but i'm fine with Toohey's.  I always go for Carlton Draught if i'm drinking local beers though.

[AKIMbO]

Beers are alright....but I prefer a nice malbec or a cucmber vodka gimlet.

^Goes great with some Red Bull...

I love Żubrówka. Straight up or with apple juice and lemon.

Sadly I have run out and it's not sold in USA. Help me out Polish freinds.
In the mean time I make due with some Russian Standard Platinum.

Can't stand VB either, but a Coldie is nice :)

After surveying page one, I guess no one is going to pop in and post pics of bud light or red bull and vodka.

I've noticed that many of us are not merely keyboard connoisseur, but connoisseur of many things. Fine keyboards, fine booze, fine smoke, fine food, fine audio equipment and many fine taste in music... some of us are quite fashonistas too I believe. If it can be had in a higher quality, we must have it.

So this stuff was amazing. Full endorsement. I have tried the chocolate wine before, but this was much tastier.

I had this back when I was living in Norway with hubby. It's one of my favorite stouts

Reminds me of a Guinness, which I don't mind from time to time.

Damnit - now I'm going to have to go get one ...

You guys are just pissing money away for NO reason..   ) )

I've reached the Zen of Drinking long ago.. Drinking to "get drunk", TASTE is for children.......  I'm OLD

Travelers Club Vodka, 1.75 Liters for $10, 80Proof, Cheaper than Everclear, unless Everclear is on sale. 


I drink exactly 89ml of this stuff whenever I'm bored.. Works instantly...

[rowdy]

Oh yeah, Absolut 100 = 100 proof (50%).  It's got a bite to it

80 proof is for the kids

[Halverson]

Lol. We may as well all start drinking bacardi 151 then! 75.5% gets ya by the boo boo if ya know what I mean!

[rowdy]

Sounds nice

It's not about "how strong" the concentration is..

I'm talking about Liters of Alcohol Per dollar..

@ 80proof,  Travelers Club Vodka comes out to

$14/ Liter of pure alcohol
1.4 cents per milliliter of pure alcohol
62 cents per shot of pure alcohol

Cheapest Everclear is $20/ Liter of pure alcohol

those are some good beers you have there WRX! I love visiting the lost abbey whenever I go down to SD (also Alesmith, port, etc). What did you think of rose de gambrinus?

if you ever make it out here we'll have to hit up Russian River and toronado/ beer rev.

[boost]

Some vsop henny with a nice cigar...

[phetto]

My favorite, 30 jack 70 coca cola =)

Yes, I realised that.  Absolut 100 is actually kinda expensive, compared to other vodkas.

Probably something like Stolichnya is one of the cheaper ones in Australia (been a while since I compared prices as I generally buy it for taste, per se, rather than economy or volume).

I went through my alcohol snobbery phase during college... I realized that I wasn't getting drunk as often / quick enough with expensive liquor, and usually end up drinking alot more bittery liquid/water than I care for..

Sadly I have run out and it's not sold in USA. Help me out Polish freinds.
In the mean time I make due with some Russian Standard Platinum.

It's sold in Brooklyn liquor stores.  At the bar I work at we use it in one of our house drinks.
Edit: Not all liquor stores, but we get it from a local store, so at least one place in BK is selling it.  We do have a decent Polski population here, so it makes sense.

[noisyturtle]

Not usually snobby with my booze. Vodka tastes the same to me at every level, as does rum and gin. The only time price == quality is with single malt scotch vs mixed scotches and micro brew beers or imports vs US piss water like bud/coors/pbr/really any beer you can also buy at a gas station.

Try St.Georges Terrior and tell me all Gin tastes the same.

[IvanIvanovich]

If they are selling proper Żubrówka, they are breaking some laws. It's actually banned in the US due to the coumarin content. You can get some that is not made in the traditonal manner with artifical flavor in the US, but it is crap in comparison.

[Halverson]

Hmm I wonder if us Canadians get the good stuff, I've seen it at the liquor stores. Going to have to try myself some. Żubrówka, that is.

[mztriz]

lol wow a lot of GHers have expensive tastes...

I enjoy Dogfish IPA 60, Guinness, and pretty much any liquor that isn't Vodka or Gin -- preferably rum.

[i3oilermaker]

I'm drinking PBR tonight
