What do you like to drink when you go out? Or in general what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? Personally I enough a Corona or Dos Equis with lime when I'm chilling at home or drinking at a friends house. When it comes to hard alcohol, I'm sort of a wuss, and I'll only do shots of vodka. When I'm at a bar I'll usually order a Adios [bleep] to get me started and then stick to whatever the house special is on beer.

I'm a cider man. In fact, last night I had a strange dream about cider. I dreamt i was at a pub and had asked if they had any other ciders as they only had Strongbow on tap. I was given a red/pink coloured cider. As I can't taste in my dreams, I can't say what it tasted of, but it must have been good as i managed to drink a fair amount of it with no hesitation in the dream.

Anyway, yes I am a cider man. Pear cider recently too, but normally anything which isn't strongbow if possible. I don't know why, but it tastes a bit too sharp for me. Normally scrumpy jack if possible.

If i'm not drinking cider, i am usually drinking double Vodka Coke's or Jagerbombs. The problem is Jagerbombs are expensive for what they are, but they do taste better.


The worst thing (not tasting, just worst) thing I have ever drank was something called a '[cabbage]ty shot' (yes it will get censored). That was not the official name, but it was a spirit the student union at a university I visited had been given for free when buying an order of another drink. It was 55% and they were selling it for £1 a shot. Because we were only there for pre-drinking, i would buy 1 Jagerbomb and two of these shots, down them both then down the bomb to wash the taste out. After doing that a few times, lets say i lost a few hours and woke up in a Hospital bed.

EDIT: Add to this 'worst drink' part which I just remembered, a friend of a friend brought a bottle of strawberry tinted Vodka from, drum-roll.......IKEA. Yep the furniture sellers. It had the longest after taste I have ever, well, tasted.

I generally drink most alcohol and have no discernible favourite. However, Absolut Vodka would probably be my favourite if I was to choose.

[fastortoise]

Beer above anything. And the best beer? :


Beer doesn't always get me drunk quick enough, so I switch to turbo gear and down a couple of Irish car bombs:

[Skeptical]

Never been a drinker, but I am interested to see what OT drinks.

[Maleficus1055]

I'm 16 and don't drink and don't plan on drinking underage, but to each his own. Though I realise we aren't all young here.

I drink cider. Yummy yummy cider. However if I know me and my mates are going for a few nights, or we're playing drinking games, I'll drink vodka, so that the hangovers aren't too bad. Also I love me a good bit of Jagermeister, and pernod, and sambuca. Not a fan of beer as such, would rather stick to cider on a night out on the town, however thats rare.

I looked at Danqazmlp's profile and I was like... Wait what? He's only 19. Then I remembered that you only need to be 18 to drink in most countries

I can't really imagine how life would be in these 3 years if I couldn't drink. At 18+ you really start having the big nights out and such. Even at 16-17 there was not much to do while out except drink, 3 more years of that would have been a bit of a waste in a sense. I just can't imagine my life right now if I couldn't drink.

I don't like, or drink, alcoholic beverages. Goes against my self-made code of conduct.

[stevepole]

Can't say I've ever had cider.

16 here and a lot of people start to experiment with drinking before that.

I generally drink whatever gets me smashed in a short amount of time. I don't like the taste of alcohol except in some fruity cocktails which are always way too expensive in clubs and too much of a hassle to make when outside . When I drink beers to sustain my drunkenness I don't really mind the taste then .

[OldJoe]

Only strong stuff i like is Kosenkenkorva Salmiakki. I drink lager when i want to get drunk, else i drink ale/stout/bitters.
One that i like, but which my friends like is Newcastle Brown... Had a few when i was 16 and on holiday in England and liked it since. I like Guinness but i never order it at the pub since it seems that they water it and it tastes like [cabbage].
One that i dislike, i had one mouthful and then emptied the bottle: Krušovice.
A bit of name dropping: Spitfire, Murphy's, Kilkenny, "x-mass/easter beers", Abbot Ale, Bishops Finger, Bombardier etc. There's an enormous amount that still needs to be covered.

[Danqazmlp]

It's become very popular here in the UK. There was an article I read which said the sales had doubled from 2003-2006 or something along those lines. It usually has a much higher % than lager, but imo tastes much nicer. Although there some is better than others as with every drink, so if you have one bad drink, don't let it put you off cider forever.

I'm torn between real ales and cider. Being in Norwich, we have pubs that brew their own beers, some of which are the finest in the country. I'm especially fond of a certain beer called 'Fat Cat Honey Ale', which quite literally has Norfolk honey in it. Ever since a certain 'incident' involving Vodka and bad pizza which happened about a year ago, I've never enjoyed spirits since.

[mcneilp]

Normally when i go out, if we're just sitting in the pub i'll sit with a pint of beer (Tennants is a favourite at the minute but i can drink most Lagers) or cider (Magners/Gaymers/Pear Kopparberg or Brothers Strawberry Cider). If it's one of those "heavier" drinking nights, i'll normally switch after a few beers to Vodka mixers and shots. My favourite shots are probably absinth (not the real stuff, still pretty potent however) or any of the various Sourz.
If i end up in a club, its always flavoured vodkas (WKD/VK) i drink.

[Star.]

I'm a wuss, I'll take the soft stuff lol.

Usually Southern Comfort with lemonade and Magners.

[rocc0]

Under 21 juice is my personal favorite.

[Romy]

I think I could easily become some sort of alchoholic.

First time I tried it (simple beer) I loved the feeling a bit too much...


Realizing that, I keep checking on myself when I drink and stop pretty soon.




No favorite though .

Everyone has those "incidents" . Never touching a certain lemon-flavoured drink again.
