Blaegis 0 Posted July 27, 2002 I'm surprised no-one mentioned Long Island Ice Tea. Perfect if you need to get plastered in a hurry . It's a bit on the expensive side, so normally I just stick with lager or scotch though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The year I was there, this happened 4 times in my village alone. Hell, once I got so drunk that I walked home bare foot in the snow and -30 weather. I would have to say that at least 60% of that town were alcoholics, and I was going down that path too so that's one of the reasons why I left and came back to civilization. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antichrist 0 Posted July 27, 2002 The funny part is that it took us about 3 months to drink one bottle of Stroh. If I am going to Austira next year I am buying more of that shit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badgerboy 0 Posted July 27, 2002 I suppose my favourite tipples at the moment are; Stella Artois : Standard pub drink Hoegardden : White Beer. Tastes great and comes in a pint glass so huge (It looks like a glass ashtray), it constitutes the ultimate in defensive barfighting tools. Tiger Lager/Beer : It's Asian, and its great! Any Shiraz thats at least Å10 a bottle (Any cheaper and it usually tastes pretty vile) Plus a nice Brandy or Port. Ideal by themselves, and when your trollied and smoked all your cigars, simply add them together. Mmm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scooby Posted July 27, 2002 "I'm surprised no-one mentioned Long Island Ice Tea. Perfect if you need to get plastered in a hurry . It's a bit on the expensive side, so normally I just stick with lager or scotch though. " In Finland you cant get proper long island ice tea because maximum amount of hard alcohol that bars can put into one drink is 4cl's. Talking about stupid laws... I used to drink jaeger but I no longer do. If you like jaeger or other herbal drinks you might want to try czech becherovska. Though atleast to me it gave nice hangover. I've always though that Stroh was Estonian, not australian. Atleast it is widely available in Estonia. I dont think there is anything girly in drinking drinks. It just makes alcohol to taste better. I have no troubles of drinking vodka or other drinks raw but in that way you'll just end up consuming it faster. If you can enjoy, why shouldnt you then. Besides it is fun to experiment with different mixes of alcoholic to find out new tastes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jose Cuervo Gold is the only kind that I will drink regularly. A few rules 1. Do not mix tequila and diet coke. 2. Do not drink vodka that costs only $5.00 for 1.75 litres. Tequila is an aquired taste, I didn't enjoy it at first, but it kinda grew on me. Especially margaritas, or just shots with salt and a lemon slice. I also like Bombay Saphire Gin.

Oligo 1 Posted July 29, 2002 The weirdest shit I've ever seen people drink is called "miesbooli". The recipe is quite simple: -1 l of absolute alcohol (96,9%) You can steal it from any lab. -3 l of water -2 packages of sausages chopped up to little pieces Mix the ingredients and incubate in room temperature for two hours. Have a laugh. It's so horrible I have hard time believing that somebody actually drinks it, but they do. Anyway, when I want to get plastered in a hurry I down Hot Shots, Salmiakkikossu and lager. In an hour I can be totally ass-upwards. If you want to try salmiakkikossu yourself, dissolve two big bags of Turkish Pebers to a 0.5 l bottle of 25% or so vodka. Enjoy cold.

Pretty rough, eh?  <span id='postcolor'> Same here in canada (my province for that matter).  And the same goes for golf carts, lol.  And if you're a passanger in the back seat of a car and are caught without your seatbelt on, you lose demerit points and the driver loses as well. And say if you don't have a license yet, they keep track of it and when u do get your licence, you'll start off a few point lower. I once drove my bike when I was drunk, and I slammed head on to a parked car and dove head first into the windshield, then rolled off the hood and landed on the street.  I remember just laying there laughing non stop, until a porch light turned on and I stood up and dragged my bike (it had a messed up front wheel and handle bars) far away.  I remember the next morning waking up with this big bump on my head and a bunch of cuts on my body, but nothing broken.  I walked passed that car a couple days later and I must say, I really did some damage to that car, the windshield was all cracked, the hood was concaved, and the front grill was cracked (it was an older, late 80s car, a Buick I think).  But  my bike was really messed up. I do a drink with a big 16 oz glass of beer (the cheapest beer I could find, mostly either Coors light or some other "light" beer), and drop in a 2 oz shot glass full of Canadian Club rye, and then I'd tap the bottom of the mug on the bar and guzzle it down in one motion.  My record was 4 of these and I was falling over fast. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
