Strange sorts of alcohol

In the western world those alcohols have a bitter taste added so people cant mix with water and drink it. But in Kenya they have no such bitter-additive and many many people go blind. The cook of my oncle&ount was one of them. He passed out and fell asleep on the side of a road and woke up blind. In Kenya being blind means no more future!   confused.gif<span id='postcolor'>

That happens here once or twice a year... some dirt poor person decides that drinking some paint thinner or anti freeze is worth it to get drunk.

Luckily here at least the government takes care of them... because stupidity and desperation shouldnt be fatal in a civilized nation.

I'm surprised no-one mentioned Long Island Ice Tea. Perfect if you need to get plastered in a hurry tounge.gif. It's a bit on the expensive side, so normally I just stick with lager or scotch though.

I lived with some indians on an reservation in an sub-arctic communtity for a year and there, the major problem was that they would get so plastered and when they'd leave where ever they were drinking to go home, they'd pass out outside on a snow bank and freeze to death in the -30 below weather. 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.

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! tounge.gif

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!

"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.

Jägermeister, Kilkenny, whiskey (Johnnie Walker Blue Label is the best I've tried; costs about 220$ per bottle smile.gif) and dry red wines are my favourite.

That would be the Agave plant. 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.

Wanna get really messed up? I mean so messed up that you have to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling of the earth?

Try a Car Bomb:

1 pint of Guiness

1 shot of Irish single malt Scotch wiskey

Drop the shot into the glass and slam it. Have a few, all the girls in the room will look like Victoria's Secret models in no time flat. tounge.gif

Turn 21 on Friday. Legal alchol abuse here I come! wow.giftounge.gif

I've tried a similiar drink. After a few of those (about 6-8; I can't really remember sad.gif) I found it very hard to ride my bicycle. I don't know how I was able to ride 5km from the bar to home. The next morning I had the worst hangover of my life.

I browsed the "Darwin Awards" website now. This got me laughing my ass off:

His chance of winning a round of Russian roulette was zero, as he quickly discovered.<span id='postcolor'>

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.

Interesting fact: In Australia, if you are caught by the police riding a pushbike intoxicated, you can lose your car license. Pretty rough, eh? confused.gif

I thought you could legally drink at 18 if you're in the military confused.gif

Nope, not in CONUS. Although some of the posts near the Mexican border enforce a drinking age of 19 on post to discourage soldiers from going across the border.

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.
