I hate not having a car, because I want to go and get a case of beer so I have something for the summer, but I hate having to carry something like that on the bus. Its big and bulky and a pain in the ass to carry. My car's been broken down and I just carried (walking) a 12-pack of beer back home. It was not only a pain to carry, but I felt oddly bad every time someone passed me and saw me carrying it. I feel you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaursssssss Posted March 17, 2015 I was carrying a large bottle of beer on the train the other day and felt weirdly bad about it. I couldn't remember how open container laws work and sort of thought that even closed bottles have to be in bags (they don't). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely a much drier drink than a lot of cocktails. Use Canadian Club and Canada Dry for the authentic* experience. I try to keep cheap whiskey around for this kind of drink, also really helped me finish off a bottle of spiced whiskey I got for christmas. *believe it or not, Canadians don't associate either brand as any sort of national icon or point of pride. A good buddy of mine has taken to adding JUST A LITTLE BIT of ********* juice to this. It's pretty damn tasty. EDIT: Oh yeah... p i n e a p p l e. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted March 21, 2015 I still have a nice stockpile of 20-30€ rums (Bacardi Oakheart and up) from when I was trying out a lot of rums. The one that used to be my favourite is still great, but once I'm done with some of these rums I want to try a few more highly rated ones. So far I've only been mixing, mostly with coke, but I want to try to start sipping. I have never been able to enjoy it so far in my life, but I always avoided drinking any strong alcohol, even mixed, until a year or so ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Oh yeah... p i n e a p p l e. That sounds pretty good. There was a time when President's Choice was making a cranberry ginger ale and that was the best thing to mix with cheap whiskey. It was also bright pink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jennegatron Posted March 23, 2015 My drink of choice is the Dirty Shirley Temple, and nothing that tastes that good should be legal. (Just take a Shirley Temple (grenadine & a lemon-lime soda like sprite/7 up/sierra mist) and add vodka, Voila, you gon' get druuuuuuunk.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a second, I thought you were going to describe this as a Shirley Temple with green olive juice in it. Thank god dirty just means "with vodka" in this case because my mind created a really fucking gross trash juice concoction there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennegatron Posted March 23, 2015 I like that idea, mostly because that's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of, but also that there doesn't seem to be any alcohol in that? So you would drink it purely for the enjoyment of it, not because it would get you drunk. My college roommate and I would come up with the grossest drinks we could think of. We would decide on a name and then backfill what the drink would be, and decide on the most foul ingredients and hope to convince our friends that these were real things. We were inspired by monstrosities such as The Four Horsemen (a real thing), the whickle (also real), and Messiah Complex (a thing that an acquaintance of mine created to punish his friends. 1 shot glass that's 1/3rd 151, 1/3rd vodka, 1/3 gin) The Cee-lo Green: This is just absinthe with sea salt & sweet & low around the rim of the glass The Andre 3000: A bottle of Andre champagne & 3 shots of 1000 island dressing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeusthecat Posted March 23, 2015 That 1000 island dressing one is pretty damn creative. If you want the grossest possible ingredient to add to anything, try a splash of feta cheese water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenben Posted April 3, 2015 I'm lucky and have tomorrow off, so I'm settling in for a night of gaming and laundry. I'm already halfway through a bottle of Banana Bread Beer, which, maybe a year ago I would have been too shamed to admit to liking, but now I'm older and wiser and did you know flavored beers are AMAZING? I mean, some of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonCole Posted April 18, 2015 i am incredibly intoxicated, alcoholically and otherwise. it took me about 1 minute to type that last sentence. i always do this when the wife is away for a night, i have no idea why. my cat keeps meowing at me and it just makes me laugh. i'm drinking this 50:50 mixture of stella artois and a local cider. this is too tasty. i can't stop laughing at the word "egggcorns".

xchen Posted April 19, 2015 Got a new shaker - first drink I made with it was a vodka gimlet... nice and refreshing! Anyone here drink growler beer? Totally ruined bottled beer for me. The shops around me usually have a split between local craft brews (I'm in Atlanta) and various world class beers from all around. Last few weeks I've had: Avery Ellie's Brown Ale Stone Enjoy by 4.20.15 - hot damn!! Macon Love (cherry blonde) - worth a shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeusthecat Posted April 21, 2015 So this year is kind of a weird one for that holiday thingy taking place today. My wife actually has a card now and is going down to the place where she gets the stuff and they have some super good deals on some good shit plus some freebies. Tonight will be a fun one!

Problem Machine Posted April 21, 2015 I don't drink much, and I'm finally running out of the whiskies I bought when I was last regularly employed. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to afford to get more. I have a couple of shots each left of Black Label and an Irish whisky my brother gave me for my birthday, and about 1/3rd bottle of good scotch I'm determined to save for a special occasion. It's strange, though, to see those bottles left with a couple of fingers in them, and drink all that remains of the time when society at large valued my contributions.
