Whiskey and vodka in the same category. Dafaq?

He bunched up all the spirits in the same category.

At first they were separate, then I had to ask myself... If I separate those two, do I separate rum as well, sake? How about all them other drinks. So basically, spirits, easier that way, just say in the post if you prefer one or the other, it's basically a hard liquor vs beer/wine kind of thing anyway.

Spliff and CubRa LibRe

Nothing beats a really good, cold beer in terms of price-efficient fun. Order a few pints, sit down with a few mates and just watch the time fly as you sip through the night. Even better - a shit beer won't stop you from doing that either - and if the conversation starts stalling you can just start complaining about the shitty beer.

Absolutely love rum for it's versatility (Captain Morgan's Spiced being my rum of choice). Drink it raw, make a nice mulled grog, or put a dash into your tea for a bit of flavour. It's just all around awesome.

However my favorite drink would definitely be Vermouth (mm Martini Bianco). Put on a suit, mix in a wine-glass with some orange juice+vodka and drown everyone around you in pretentious assholeish-ness.

Cider and Wine are only good for ensuring the worst hangovers you've ever had.

i stopped reading when you mentioned america and beer, lolz.

I applauding you on your ignorance. Deadbolt because the us constantly makes fantastic beers as good as any where in Europe. Its sad that wherever you live doesn't have good American beer and the fact that our biggest exports are piss water.but I assure you we do make fantastic beer.

Also to answer someone else's question. Yes even if its made with corn its still vodka, it's made with anything from grain, wheat. Or even potatoes.

Yea the US has got some pretty amazing microbreweries to be honest, not all their beer is shite :p. That being said, BELGIUM FTW

Worst hangover for me came from a night of Rye, goddamn i wanted to die in the morning. It was the only time i ever was unable to get up in the morning.

[nikomas]

My worst hangover was in the earlier days when one drinks whatever is thrown at you... In that case it involved anything from cider to beer trough cocktails whiskey and vodka all in one night... Oh god, the next day, I thought I was going to die, and I wish I was kidding

I feel like anyone who says "____ is shit" just hasn't had a good version of it.

Saying all beer is crap? That seems pretty crazy to me, there are all types of beers, light, heavy, dark, hoppy, fruity, watery, low proof and high proof, you may have just not found one you enjoy. Also I found that some people a taste for beer comes later, because our palettes change with age.

Same with wine and spirits. At first you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between bottom and top shelf stuff, but with experience, it doesn't take too long to know when something is good. Even something flavorless like vodka you can tell after a bit (though it's quite a bit harder).

All beer I have ever tasted, tasted like crap for me. I could go on a quest around the world to find the potential beer that I like but I really don't see the point when there's already so much I like to drink.

I don't decline tasting a new beer though if anyone asks me and pays for it. But since I'm male it isn't very often that happens

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... )

As a seasoned drinker, for whiskey i would suggest glenfiddich. Its a Scotch whiskey and comes in ages of 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 years iirc
2 and 4 are the cheapest fetching about $40-$60 a bottle and the 32 yro fetching a whopping $400 a bottle.

Also if you can aquire it VAT 69 is an excellent drop. I went through 2 bottles on my 21st, and its still hazy  

[Ahnungsloser]

I don't know why but I can't stand beer. The bitter taste of hop/malt from the most beer sorts is just sickening.

For the Whiskey'Lovers in this thread:
I can recommend a "Irish Mist" - It's not a expensive one but it's a (Honig) Whiskey Liqueur and therefore a  awesome alternation if you want to taste something different. There is a lot of other cool stuff but this is one of my favourites.

Highland Park (Single Malt) and Dimple (Blended) is in addition to the XIIcorps mentioned Glenfiddich a reasonable choice too.

beer, good german beer xD

RakI !!

Captain Morgan also good one (with cola)

[Tymathee]

don't really drink unless i'm with the wife as she likes to drink every now and then.

other wise, i wont bother and I dont really like the smell of a lot of liquors

[Smokaz]

I've been confused ever since the day some1 told me that beer contains the female hormone. I feel guilty drinking beer now, imagining my ballsack shrinking a tiny bit everytime I have a beer.

[Shabtajus]

Cold Henesey whiskey with ice, all u need or Absoliut vodka, Russkyj Standart Silver vodka

4 for wine? Oh you better be either girls or over 35

That's just a ridiculous assumption
