Since I turned 20 the other day the first thing I did was go buy a few bottles of whiskey now that I could do it legally. (18 is the legal drinking age, but it's 20 to buy hard liquor... It's a bit strange) Anyway, I figured I'd ask what you guys like the most. Personally, while I like beer I grew fond of vodka and especially whiskey pretty quickly when I started drinking, problem with that is it costs a little more than the beer ! Don't like wine one bit thou.

And any brands in particular while at it? Since I'm trying a bunch of stuff out recommendations couldn't hurt (Oh yes they probably could... )

[Sachaztan]

Be a patriot, buy absolut vodka!

Congratulations on your birthday and right to get inebriated!

You have opened a Pandora's box of information since I am bored at work, and I work at a wine and spirits store and have been for the past three years.

Anyways my personal favorite is beer, for me it just goes so good with the foods I eat and its just so damn easy to pick up a six pack. Also in America there are loads of craft beer popping up so its not hard to find something new and good that uses quality ingredients.

Second to beer is spirits for me more specifically whiskey and even more specific Bourbons knob creek. Blantons, Basil Hayden all great american whiskys that aren't too hard to find in the USA.  Although my current Muse is white rye, which has started popping up but it really hard to find. But it's just a rye whiskey that hasn't been aged.

Right behind whisky is rum and if you can find it sailor Jerry or kraken rum are incredible!

As far as vodkas go, Tito's American vodka is good, its made with corn a bit smoother and sweeter almost.

Man doing this on my phone this on my phone is a pain ill just have to wait til km home Haha.

[Sachaztan]

Vodka based on corn? is that even vodka?

[DarkSoldierX]

I can't say much because I havn't been trying everything, but I personally think vodka is the best in general. And I also think beers are pretty meh due to how much you have to drink in order to feel the effects of it.

I don't think I recall trying any whiskey though. Think I may try that out soon.

[Sachaztan]

I think beer tastes like shit.

That would have been ok if it weren't for how weak it is.

So Vodka, Whiskey, Wine, Mead, Cider, Rum and other assorted Spirits is what I drink.

I tend to guzzle whatever beer I end up getting my hands on. Can't stand Cider as it tastes like piss.

I used to quite like Whiskey, then things and situations happened.

Captain Morgans Spiced Rum aint too bad.

Never been a big fan of Vodka. I can drink it, but it's a bit meh.

Wine aint bad either if I can actually find a decent bottle, the problem is most shops in my area only sell cheap piss that has neither flavour nor kick.

Other than that, if it has a percentage, I'll likely try it.

Several blind tests have shown that price has absolutely nothing to do with the actual taste. Preconceived perceptions has though, like if it's "supposed" to be a good wine. Which is also why many wine producers have 2 labels for the exact same wine, 1 luxurious and expensive and 1 cheap.

Edit: Happy birthday btw

[Hicks58]

You are correct Sach however...

the problem is most shops in my area only sell cheap piss that has neither flavour nor kick.

...I've tried them. Most of it is shit I wouldn't use to clean my toilet.

[Sachaztan]

Now while there might be some really dreadful wines out there I suspect, but I'm not entirely sure, you are victim of this.

Btw why would you use wine to clean a toilet, it would stain an awful lot wouldn't it

[Hicks58]

Local corner shop wines are piss 9 times out of 10 in my local area. I've actually tried one or two half decent wines, some of them were even cheap. However, after trying a good bulk of them (And promptly going back to beer due to cost efficiency for getting drunk) I'd come to the conclusion they aren't worth it.

It looks like you've just found yourself a fun little label and want somebody to throw it on Sach.

What label would that be?

Anyway, like I said, I wasn't entirely sure.

Exactly, alcohol is both empty calories and fattening. It's the last thing you should be drinking.

Sucks to not live in Germany.

[Spartan_Marine88]

Beer comes in so many types and flavours some tasty and some not. From wheat beers to honey, hemp to berries if you haven't haven't found one you like its probably because you haven't tried enough.

My favourite

Little brewery about 5 min away from me uses all natural ingredients, but also like some of the various ciders out there (strongbow.) And find dark beer quite nice with dinner.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

Honestly the best drink you are ever going to drink is Malt Og applesin Mixed with Vodka, Its like an orgy of awesomeness in your mouth, as long as you dont drown the drink in vodka tough.

[Demon767]

Whiskey and vodka in the same category. Dafaq?
