Strange sorts of alcohol

[Kunotodt 0]

Renagade i think the basic rule of thumb between the 'proof' of alcohol versus the actual alcohol content is just double.

So if an alcohol is 90% proof then basically it has an alcohol content of 45%.

So your vodka being 37% alcohol content would be 74% proof.

That everclear grain alcohol posted earlier is rough stuff with a proof of 190%. Basically its fuel

here is a funny:

when i was in New Zealand i hanged about in the pub, and heard this story.

a fella and hi buddies drank the day before in the pub, and since they drank a lot, they decided to go home by foot.

in the morning one of them came back to pick up his car. the police stopped him and check for alcohol. he was found with 3 times the allowed quantity of alcohol in the blood. bummer!

seriously, in WWII my grandpa told me they got 100 ml of vodka a day and 300 ml of avgas!

talking about drinking weird stuff.

i know that in WWII Aqua Velva was popular among US troops.

I mostly drink either stout, porter, or scotch ale.  I used to drink 8 or more pints a night, but now I'm only down to maybe 3 or 4 pints and I switch to mixed drinks or staight scotch or wiskey.

I drink gin and tonics made with Beefeater gin.  Also I drink single malt scotches,

For shots, I do either Jameson Irish whiskey, Bushmills, or Jagermeister  (German panty remover).

a russian goes to a doc, cause his belly aches. the doc inspects him and says:

"sorry we have to remove one of yer lungs"

"why? what happened? i dont smoke!"

"well there is nothing wrong with your lung. we just need to make room for your liver......."

If anything should serve as a reminder of what overdrinking does its the 2 ppl on the big brother program who were off thier heads a few nights ago

Great mixed drink: Irish Black Russian

Like a regular Black Russian (Vodka, Kahlua & Coke) but 50/50 with Guiness! Sounds terrible, tastes great!

Great "undiscovered" beer: Caffrey's, from Ireland. Smooth, creamy...damn good!

And of course, don't forget squishy (slurpee for us Aussies) and Bourbon...

or just basically double the percentage alcohol and you have proof. It's an american thing of course. Who else would think of something to make measuring stuff and etc. a bigger hassle then it should be

I heard a story about the cask cider "Scrumpy Jacks".

Way back some "Scrumpy" employees found that one their barrels tasted extremely good. Better than any of the other barrels. They guessed that it was just a really good batch, but later they discovered the secret ingredient: a rotting dead rat in the bottom of the barrel. Ever since then Scrumpy Jacks is fermented in a barrel with a peiece of rotting meat, for extra flavor. Hey, whatever works.

Cheers.

After waking up in a field near my house early wednesday morning I have decided to dry out for a while. Being tee-total is quite liberating actually.

[Guest Scooby]

I drink quite alot and I've been trying few different drinks.

Lately I've been drinking about 4 times in a week because its summer holiday. I mostly consume beer or cider but at times I do different drinks or drink home made wine. Most exotic alcohols I've tried might be absinth and 70% vodka. (or spiritus fortus but it was mixed with juice already)

Some good and basic drinks I like are following. I dont know if recipes are right but this is how I do them:

I most often use around 30cl glass.

Blue lagoon:

Ice cubes (though it looks better if you use crushed ice)

2cl's of vodka

2cl's of bols blue curacao

Sprite or 7up

Hotshot (shot glass)

Galliano

coffee

whipped cream

???? Its bit like Avalon but not quite. I like this more.

Ice cubes (but looks better if you use crushed ice)

3cl's of vodka

1cl's of pisang ambon

3cl's of apple juice

2cl's of lemon juice from fresh lemon

Sprite or 7up

???? But it tastes great. Girls like it

2cl's of 40% mint liquor

2cl's of chocolade liquor

milk

put it into a shaker and shake a bit. Then pour it into glass.

??? Also good

2cl's of pisang ambon

2cl's of vodka

milk

put it into a shaker and shake a bit. Then pour it into glass.

Ice cream drinks:

Take around 30cl glass. Take half melt ice cream and fill glass so that you can still put some 2 - 3cl's of vodka and 2 - 3cl's of liquor of your taste into it. mix well.

Thats about it. Try what difference using different juices, lemonades and liquors in combination have and find the most suitable drink for you. These are the ones I like best. You can use your imagination and change amounts of alcohol by your taste and how much you are drunken.

The strongest drink i've ever had was absynthe (i don't know how to write it in english). It tasted like shit, but you get drunk very fast with it. But there is nothing like drinking a lot of good old whiskey with coke or vodka with lemmon with your friends

[pathfinder 0]

Mmmmm, warm Melon liqueur over Chocolate icecream. Ya might go into shock from the sweetness.

Anyone ever find a good use for HOTDAMN?(kinda like cinnamon extract)

And noone put Yeigermeister yet? I use to drink it like water........ Hmmm I need to get back into heavy drinking again ,my braincells are starting to rebel against me

Becareful dude absynthe made wrong can make you go blind or worse dead. It's a big drink with the goth crowd. But if made to real specs it uses wormwood. And that can mess you up!!

one of the nerdiest people i knew of in school turned into a goth. He ended up hitting someone over the head with a pool cue and then running way. This is the result of a drinknig goth. DONT let it happen

[EveronVetsAgainstTheWar 1]

The nerdies person at school turned out goth? Can you please explain that?

You mean he was very smart but then one day he took of his costume and was in all black and listening to crybaby music and then he hit someone on the head and ran away, drunk?

I just laughed thinking about that.

[KingBeast 0]

Well he was a hardcore trekky, and got made fun of a lot and cried when someone through a hula hoop (potatoe chip) at his head and such.

Then one day, his hair changed colour and he wore a leather jacket. Was as sudden as that. Scary stuff man

I can't be stuffed reading all the pages in this topic so here's my list.

1.Stroh - some Austrian shit which is 80% and totally kills you after about two shots

2. Firewater - I dunno if you can get it anywhere else in the world but we can get it here in NZ it tastes like boiling oil. About 60%

3. Ukrainian "gorilka" with chilli pepper. Best one is made by Nemiroff - its only 40% but chilli pepper ads shitloads of punch so its is as potent as 60% stuff.

4. Samogon. My grandfather usually makes it when I come home for summer holidays. It is usually between 50%-60%, but he ads all sorts of herbs and spices into it so its pretty tasty and nasty.

5. Vodka - there are about 50 brands of Vodka you can buy in Russia and Ukraine its all pretty much the same 40%.

Yes, I didnt dare to post it here cause I was afraid you would think I am a liar, but Stroh(straw)-rum is indeed above 80% and can even be of a higher percentage than that.

My ount and my oncle live in kenya and they told me that people cant afford ordinary drinkable alcohol there, so they buy artifical spirits there (which have other purposes than to be drinks)and drink it. 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!

Get some Bacardi. And a few juice boxes of Hi-C, the blue kind. I can't remeber its name. Then crush up some ice. mix it all together, and you got a Blue-Bacardi Slushy

I just came back from a bar and I tried Jagermeister with tonic water (i got the idea for it from www.webtender.com), and I must tell you, I might switch from Gin and tonics to this. It's so much nicer to drink, and after 3 or 4 gin and tonics, my mouth is so dry, but not so with Jager and tonic. It tastes something like this Italian drink called Brio, it's something like a coke, but it has quinine in it, so it's like a coke made with tonic water instead. Anyway, Jager and tonic tastes very close to it. Another drink I liked was Mountain Dew and Gin, it was very sweet, but I liked it anyway.

Also this bar has this hemp beer there, and it was utter crap. No taste, and it was just called hemp beer because it would be popular with the dope kids. Personnaly, I'd rather drink a good beer and smoke a joint afterward.
