What you be drinking? Bottles? Shots? Glasses?

So your out with your friends.. Or maybe your in the dark in a basement with a bottle of alcohol. What you be drinking on?
My favorite and regular is vodka. I stick by Finlandia Vodka.. It's simply the best and the night is never a waste with it

 

All I can say is you have to try absinth. If you don't know what it is do a search, but it is the reason why VanGough cut off his ear. If you are in North America the Absinth available is junk, but there are places you can order the real stuff online. If you are lucky, like me, to travel to the Czech Republic, that's the place to but it.

Crap Absinth in B.C.: $75.00
Good Absinth in Czech Republic: $20.00

 

Me and a couple of friends were thinking of importing that stuff from Estonia. We heard good stuff about that but never got around to. Tell us some about it..

 

LOL, it's an experience, but boy do you feel good, just don't have anything planned for the day after. Absinth has a chemical from wormwood, which is a haluconogetic. Although the concentrates are not what they used to be and you don't see any pink elephants, it does do more than get you drunk. I cannot begin to explain Absinth to you, it is something that must be experienced. Like I said, do a search, absinth has a huge cult following.

 

my drink of choice is called a "tight snatch" its a fruity alcohol filled drink my cousin made up whose a bartender

 

How would you approach a regular bartender thats not your cousin asking for the drinking? Or is it standard now and you can request it by name without getting a dirty look

 

Sorry for being off topic, but this reminds me of a story:

My favorite word is titmouse. Now a titmouse is a type of bird, but in south america they are called tits for short.

Anyway, after a bet I walked into a petstore...

Cute Girl Worker: Can I help you?
Me: Yes, I'd like to see a couple of tits.
Cute Girl Worker: Excuse me
Me: I'd like to see your tits.
Cute Girl Worker: I think you better leave.
Me: I'm sorry, but I promised my kids I'd bring home a couple of tits.
Cute Girl Worker: I'm calling the police.
Me: OK, do they have any tits?
Cute Girl Worker: Hello...police....(muffled)
Cute Girl Worker: The police are on thier way.
Me: Great, I can't wait to get my hands on some tits.

10 minutes later...

Cute Girl Worker: That's him officer.
Me: Thank you officer, can I see your tits?
Officer: You have the....(after that I don't remember much)

 

LOL! Did you get to see some tits after you got hit with a batton.

 

Actually this really did happen, except for the police part. I did bring along a book where the birds were refered to as tits. I ended up with a date, and now that girl is my wife, so yes, I did get to see some tits.

As I side note, I can't wait to see the google ads on this thread.

 

Haha That is the biggest twist ever!

The ads seem to be either about Absinthe Fountains or a category called Alcoholic. The top one is like 24/7 rented out by advertizers. Oh and your website, that long name one is very cool. I visit sometimes to check for updates. That chicken without head is freaky

 

Here is some more info:

Absinth Drinkers
Absinth is a distilled alcoholic beverage that has quite a sordid past. The hallucinogenic properties of the drink caused it to be banned in many countries during its heyday, the turn of the century and early part of the 20th century. Still today, absinth in still banned in many countries, including the United States, France, Germany, and Switzerland. Other countries, such as Spain and the Czech Republic, have embraced the vivid green liquid and produce some of the finest absinth in the world. However, not all absinth is this vibrant shade of green. Some distilleries produce a bright blue absinth or a crystal clear version. This latter version is most popular in Switzerland, who continues to produce the banned liquor from concealed stills dotting the countryside.

Absinth is made from a powerful herb known as wormwood, but also known as absinth. This bright green herb contains thujone, responsible for inducing hallucinations after consumption. Thujone is poisonous and should not be consumed in large quantities. For example, drinking pure wormwood essence or extract is quite lethal. However, the amount of thujone present in absinth is not enough to cause harm. In fact, before one could receive a lethal amount of thujone from absinth, alcohol poisoning would commence. It is quite possible thujone has been given a bad reputation by history, as it is widely blamed for the startling effects of absinth consumption on society. Quite possibly, poor quality absinth was produced with little care for the manufacturing process contained lethal adulterants, such as antimony tricholoride and cupric acetate. The side effects of this contamination include vomiting, vertigo, muscular disorders, convulsions, and restlessness. These symptoms were erroneously blamed on thujone. However, the presence of thujone prevents absinth from being sold in many countries even today. For example, the United States has a ban on selling absinth due to standing Food and Drug Administration regulations on any item containing thujone. For this reason, absinth cannot be legally purchased in the United States. Many online companies sell absinth, but since this ban is in place, the order is likely to be confiscated by customs officials. However, it should be known that although absinth is banned in the United States and prohibited from sale, absinth is not a controlled substance. One cannot be charged for “possession” of absinth like one can be charged with possession of marijuana or cocaine.

Other famous absinth drinkers include the eccentric playwright Oscar Wilde, famed literary giant Ernest Hemmingway, and bohemian poet Paul Marie Verlaine. Verlaine, one of the highest supporters of absinth during his life became a staunch critic of the drink known in French as “La Fee Verte” or “The Green Fairy” on his deathbed. Absinth also made its way around the most famous artist’s circle of the day—the Impressionists. Toulouse Lautrec, Paul Manet, Edward Degas, Paul Gaugin, and of course, Vincent Van Gogh enjoyed “La Fee Verte” regularly in many of Paris’s bohemian cafes and bars in the infamous Montmartre area of the city of lights. Most of these absinth-enjoying artists incorporated bottles and glasses of absinth in their work and many devoted entire canvases to this subject alone. Pablo Picasso joined in the trend and created a piece dedicated to the immortal “Green Fairy,” and received a great deal of negative feedback for the work. Many believe the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh was under the spell of this green liquid when he sliced off his ear. In some sort of odd dedication to Van Gogh, several absinth brewers feature Van Gogh or one of his many beautiful paintings on the label of their liquors. A couple absinth makers have even named their companies or distilleries after the mad modern master.

 

They have loads of rude names for coctails round here. You have to walk up to the bar and ask for a "good long shag against a wall"

 

Wow, I've known a lot of weird cocktail names but this one sounds new.

 

Im goin in to town later. il get a coctail list from somewhere and il post em. They are very offensive though. If anyone doesnt want me to post them i wont. Dont want to offend anyone.

 

Glen Morangie Best scotch on the planet. It has a nice sweet oak after taste.....GOOD STUFF!!!

 

You ever feel strong try a Cement Mixer, it's a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream held in your mouth, then yo8u take a shot of lime grenadine and start swishing. There is a chemical reaction and the bailey's starts to coagulate. I have seen one person take it and not puke

 

Absinth = Hype. Any 50% proof drink that you drink enough of makes you feel a little crazy.

Van Gogh's ear had something to do with Gauguin from what I remember.

This however is just much more fun.

No one knows why van Gogh cut his ear off?

 

Well last night i drunk fosters, newcastle brown, carling, wkd blue, champaign, black sambuca, absolute black currant, vodka + redbull, guinness and something else. This is what happens when your friend runs a bar. But i hardly ever mix different drinks.

When you are getting wasted for the club = vodka redbull
If its nice and sunny and you are chilling outside = ice cold bud
Carlsberg / Stella for the BBQ
Alcopops when you dont see any blokes around. (You dont want people to think you are drinking a gurlys drink)
Glass of wine with a nice stake...
etc etc

 

UGH, I always wondered what was in that. Curdled bailey's irish cream, MmmMmMmMmM. That'll wake you up in the morning.

Another good one is a "prarie fire", which is usually bacardi 151 or tequila with a bunch of Tabasco sauce in it.

If I'm out with friends being stupid, I like a nice classic Irish Car Bomb. 1/2 pint of Guiness, drop a shot of bailey's in it, chug it. My "standard" is Guiness if on tap, or voda/tonic or jack/coke if drinking highballs.

Right now, I'm drinking Green Tea, as always during the day. I think this helps to balance out the damage done on the weekends.
