5th of this shit and call me in the morning

Lately I've been on a Gin kick lately. I love Wild Turkey though, it's got me through some bad times

>>19006153

>>19006153
Wild Turkey is one I really enjoy, but this is good also. Sometimes mix the two, I call it Turkey Dinner for a Schilling

>>19006165
dafuq? I'll call you a fagit right now unless u pour me a shot

What is the best on the rocks bourbon for a poorfag

l/ck/ thread??

Recently just started going from store to store buying mini shooters. probably the lowest point in my alcoholism journey.

>>19006295
A bottle of Turkey is like 15 bucks.

>>19006302
I been buying goldschlager shots lately taste good

>>19006153
I'm a simple man.

>>19006153
You already posted it.

>>19006336
Based

>>19006295
You can get this for $20-25 and it tastes like a bourbon that costs twice as much

>>19006153

>>19006246
>>19006153
wild turkey 101 is my first choice
then makers mark
then bullit rye

but if I were to select my 'comfiest' booze it would have to be canadian club
it's not great, but it's always been there for me

I've hopped on the homebrew train

it's kinda boring neat, but it makes for a great strong highball

>>19007925
Tastes like straight peanuts

>>19006334
>35% (((Rum)))

>>19008288
and smells like a freshly opened jar of peanut butter. taste is distinctly yeasty as well.

I drink 3 of these bad boys a week

>>19008629
Its good rum, your point?

>>19008629
>>19006334
Interesting, ours is stronger

i have no self control when it comes to liquor so while i used to enjoy bottom shelf whiskey straight from the lip, i have since switched to beer in an effort to get a grip
i miss liquor and i miss getting drunk faster than the work it takes chugging beers as quick as possible

>>19006295

I like mixing it with peach iced tea

>>19009066

>I treat all whiskey like scotch because I dont understand flavour profiles

>>19006153

>40%+
Seems like they deemed us gay

When I was broke as hell these were my savior at $7.99 a handle

>>19009167
whoops, meant to reply to the sea ice guy>>19008667

>>19008667
>vodka with natural flavor
of sea ice?

>>19008280
For some reason I am getting fucked up beyond all recognition on a level unlike any other kind of whiskey every time I get involved with this shit

>>19008187
Good move, what'd you make?

>>19006309
People who drink that are trash.

Anybody tried pic related?

>>19009067
This is my favorite bourbon for cocktails.
4 Roses Single Barrel is my go to if I'm drinking whiskey straight.

>>19010024
Yeah, it's good. Used it in a martini. Stirred and with olives, of course.

why is there shit floating in this flavored vodka I just bought? is this literally going to kill me? I don't want to open it unless I can figure out wtf is going on. I'm sure it was on the shelf for years but I didn't think that mattered

>>19010208
You can see he's just put the safety lid in his mouth.

Don't be a pussy. Next time fill an empty one with water, don't even rinse it out first. You'll be fine, trust me, I've worked as a cleaner for - well, I forgot exactly how long, sometimes I space out and lose an hour or twelve.

>>19010262
>Urnett's Trawberry

>>19010262
I noticed this in pineapple svedka i was drinking on the rocks. I assumed that the ice caused something in the vodka to solidify, maybe it's always there.

>>19006246

>>19011866
Those are the bad parts of the brain being scrubbed away

At £1 a can, I think I know who's winning.

>>19012072
Do Bongs not have $7 a handle hooch?

>>19012590
No. Cider is the cheapest drink here. Spirits are pretty expensive.

>>19006246
Like feeling the great plains unfold on your tongue.

Any idea what's good at my local liquor store?https://mansfield.bottleking.com/spirits/?varietal=Bourbon&size=750&sortby=bottle&item_type=spirits
Thinking of picking up jim beam black at the moment, mainly something 86 proof or under as im new to liquor. If you see any better bourbons i'd be willing to check em out

>>19012701
jack daniel's single barrel will be decent if you arent shooting it. the faster you plan to drink it the less you should spend. none of the stuff there is too high a proof for a beginner in my opinion. water your drink if you think it's too hot. avoid ice as its a bad effect for a long drink(more flavor = longer drink).

Lidl whiskey is surprisingly nice and really cheap. £10.99 a bottle.

>>19011866
That last one looks like a drawing and not a photo.

>>19012673
Don't forget to lick a cactus while on the plains.

>buying shit liquor you have to water down to palate

>>19013156
A little water can bring out different flavour profiles in your whiskey. Try it out sometime.

>>19012601
No scotch or gin for $25 for a fifth or whatever the standard bottle size is there?

>>19013162
Yeah, it’s called ‘water’

>>19009915
Mead

>>19013170
Water doesn't taste like anything anon. At least where I'm from.

>>19013151
Solid choice

normal Four Roses is good for being dirt cheap too

>>19015517
for sure, 50% abv hits the spot too

>>19006246
I refuse to put anything I've heard advertised on spotify in my body

Makes a perfect daiquiri

>spiced
call the cops, I don't give a fuck

>>19013211
How is it? I make pruno out of store brand fruit juices and it always turns out good. Just doesn't have a good shelf life.

>>19012701
I find Maker's Mark and Knob Creek to be very easy drinking and good for someone not used to drinking spirits straight. Maker's Mark uses wheat instead of rye in its mash, which makes it mellower. Rye in whiskey gives a spiciness that less experienced drinkers might find harsh. Knob Creek is 100 proof, but drinks to me like something much lower.

>>19006334
flor de cana is good. love making it into planter's punch (lemonade/orange juice, lime juice)

6 bucks for a fifth. Glass bottle to boot.

>>19016560
Christ, must be a splitting headache in a bottle.

>>19016912
6.99, actually. My bad. Also not really, what makes you say that? In my experience vodka, no matter how cheap, really has that much of a hangover.

>>19016947
*no vodka

>>19013166
The cider is a better alcohol/price ratio, but spirits start at perfectly reasonable prices. e.g a supermarket is doing 700ml of Famous Grouse for £13 at the moment, and you can find even lower if you try.

>>19013151
This anon knows the truth.

Chateu de'cardboard.

I dont drink now but when I did

How does tequila reposado/anejo taste? Blanco was the vilest swill I ever put down my throat.

I like the sweet young things and Old Grand-Dad

>>19017201
I dig this. I’m probably gonna refer to my goon as chateau de cardbouard from now on.

>>19006174
The best beer in the world is brewed in Pennsylvania

>>19018009
Thanks to aging, reposado will be mellower than blanco tequila. Most are aged in oak, so you'll get vanilla and burnt sugar notes. Anejo is aged even longer, so the agave flavors will be even more subdued and you'll get a stronger presence from the wood. If you've only had one tequila, I wouldn't judge the entire category off that one tasting. But if you can't stand any tequila you've tried, you probably won't like reposado or anejo that much more. Stay far away from Mezcal, too.

>>19018629
Aldi pauper detected

started putting a splash of whiskey in a mug of tea - it's great. won't be drinking tea without it.

>>19018671
tullamore is great for beginning alcoholics, you can easily chug it and if you want to put some mixer in going stronger than 50-50 is no problem at all

>>19015779
Not strong enough

Someone post a flowchart guide recommending rums for different tastes

not the exact bottle but this is my guy when he's cheap. otherwise it's burnetts. i can't taste a difference between them, i just prefer the blue bottle. just got a 1.75 of burnetts for $14.11 after tax

>>19013156
i also find cold drinks much more satisfying. i'd drink cold water over room temperature any day.

>>19020799
I can't tell you how many bottles of this I've gone through. $13.99 a handle everywhere around here.

In itself it's not especially comfy but if you're looking for a birthday present for any woman over 30, this is an absurdly safe choice.

>>19020826
>consorting with females over 30

>>19021089

nice try, JOI. You post on /tv/, too?

>>19006153
this stuff is pretty decent considering you get 3 liters for about $18

>>19010208

>>19018073
That was the first liquor I bought on my 21st birthday, still quite rough to me but I've gained an appreciation for it. Still haven't seen 114 for sale anywhere

>>19023148
its selling out immediately because stores only get a case or two every 3-4 months and so far they haven't applied any purchase limits so 1 retard will most likely buy a case at a time and the other one probably wont make it to the shelf.

Just picked this up, only $20 and much better than most pricier options

>>19015760
I’ve been to their distillery. Its not bad.

>>19011866
More folds means you’re smarter, smoothbrain.

>>19006153
Is that really the cheapest good whiskey option

>>19006302
I bought a bottle of that same fireball cinnamon whiskey, heard it was nice and unique.
It's extremely fucking shit, man. I regret ever spending money on it.

>>19025603
Sorry, not blocking ads makes you a fag. Lol. Sneed.

Da Bambu always

>>19025724
I don't know what to say about this

>>19006232
this shit is fucking tasty, too much trouble

Does any company make beer in old fashioned cans?

>>19006309
I prefer White Claw Surge (8% instead of 5%)

I call them turbo white claws. They taste like ass but they get you ripped and they're the same price as a box of normal white claw.

>>19011866
I don't wanna downplay the effects of alcoholism but I'm like 90% sure that the brain shrinking thing has a name and is the product of a rare condition that is CAN be caused by alcoholism, rather than being a general result of all cases of alcoholism.

History is too full of genius drunks for that to make any sense.

>>19026322
you will have a BPA lined aluminium and you will be happy

I never tried absinthe
which absinthe should I get

>>19006165
RIP

>>19006302
Why not just get a big bottle?

>>19006153
It's not as good as it used to be, but we have habits. I do mix it with Diet Coke. I keep the bottle chilled, and mix it with ice.

>>19027507
All absinthe is fake since wormwood is illegal. Buy ouzo instead.

>>19027714
you sure

>>19006153
I did not like cachaca at first but it's really grown on me. caiparinha is now in my top 5 drinks, super easy to make too
>>19006173
I have a soft spot for bombay but I will admit that tank is the better gin. but my favorite gin drink is a corpse reviver 2 and you don't need a really good gin for that since the flavor is mixed in with so many other ingredients
>>19006232
schilling is good. sometimes if I can't think of something to do on the weekend I get some pizza and go to their taproom to try some new ciders
>>19008280
toki is the first japanese whiskey I tried, and I instantly understood why the highball is their national drink. good blend of smokey and sweet
>>19020826
my mom loved this shit. I'd never buy a bottle for myself because it's crazy sweet, but if someone's pouring I'll have some
>>19021554
smith and cross is tied with appleton for my favorite rum
>>19027507
saint george is pretty good. I'm not a huge absinthe fan but I could taste the difference from the other stuff
>>19027714
ouzo is my favorite anise. not as sweet as sambuca, not as overpowering as absinthe or pastis

>>19027714
You can buy wormwood extract at the health food store.

>>19025724
>take some rum, but add a few spoons of banana nesquik

>>19025649

>>19013151
The last bottle I got of that tasted musty as fuck. Must've been a bad batch or something

I've immensely enjoyed picrel lately. Superb with tonic, Fever-tree and Muteman being my favorites so far.

Rather Pastis.

It’s all gay.

>>19028958
you're gay

been drinking a half of this every day for a while. with coke yea.

>>19028755
had this a few years back and wow is it bad. like drinking unsweetened apple juice out of a rusty tin can you found buried under a meth lab

The most economical and effective rum

>>19029537
Unfortunately it's reddit.

>>19006153
alcohol is my superpower

I like popov vodka and black velvet whiskey
I really like crown royal vanilla but I need to keep my habit cheap

I have to doordash more alcohol tomorrow, I hate doing it because I'm sure all the neighbors talk.

I've only been making my own booze for 12 years. I wouldn't piss on a purchased bottle. Cost me around 4 dollars a handle.

>>19018671
>>19018862
Truer words have never been spoken. It's dangerous how fast I gulp this stuff down. But it's also one of me favourite Irish whiskeys so cheers!

>>19021554
Aye, now THAT's some good stuff!

>>19024490

>>19024490
Is it that popular where y'all are? It seems to stay on the shelves regularly here. I bought a bottle a while back & thought it was pretty good.
I found a store in the next county over that gets in an amazing selection of burbon. I like to drop in and grab anything that says, "Limit 1". Ngl, I've walked out and came back for more when shopping for family.
They even do a burbon lotto where you can buy high end Wellers and Pappy. I placed 117th and got a lower Weller.

>>19029850
not this time, Shekelbergsteinowits.

tequila my beloved. I will never understand why people say it's hard to get down, shit is like water

>>19029514
That's Jamaican rum for you. Some people love it, I can't stand the stuff.

Fellas I literally can't drink anything but straight liquor anymore. I'm not even an alcoholic since I drink very irregularly but whenever I wanna get fucked up I can only drink stuff straight. No water, no cocktails, just straight in sips. I can't even mix beer anymore because it just tears my stomach up. I don't know why but straight booze does nothing to me the morning after but if I drink like one cocktail or beer in the process I'm sick as a dog. Also helps that I'm a turbo light weight so I don't have to spend so much on booze to get me going.

had to stop for a while because I was getting wrecked drinking this every day

I have controversial opinions about women.

>>19031624
Based. Can't get it where I live now but I sure do miss it.

>>19031624

>>19006302
I don't get why you would buy the small bottle? You don't have money for the big one?

What's your drinking frequency? I realized I'm going through one bottle of whisky per week, just by drinking one glass or two in the evening. Is it too much?

>>19006153
Suffered with beer shits for years, switch to cider or wine, problem gone.

Why the fuck did I put up with this for 20 years yolo

Been enjoying Angostura Rum lately but mostly I'm sad that I have to drive 30 minutes to get to an LCBO that sells the Copperhead rum.

>>19006302
>buying mini shooters
this was me at my worst, when I was hiding it. They were cheap and easy to keep in pockets/toss. Go outside, knock a few back, empties return to the pocket. No noise, light weight. The sinfire apple didnt destroy my gut like the fireball ones. I worked right next to the LC so would stop in before and after my shift to get through, then to the bar on the other side after shift. Fucking shit times.
and Pendleton was great shit, my favorite. Or High West rye.

Hey liquor guys. I impulse bought this because i thought the bottle looked cool. Am i retarded or big brain or in between? Havent even opened it yet.

>>19032277
very solid, it's Willet and used to be the best bourbon under 30 bucks
Lemon cake and caramel from what I remember
Noah's Mill is the same thing but cask strength and much more honey/molasses

>>19032288
Lemon cake? Im fucking exicted now.

today i will drink:
1 liter 37.5% vodka
2 liters energy drink
1 5% 473ml beer for the lolz
it'll be a nice friday. recommend me games to play while drunk. i love exploding snipers while playing demoman on tf2, 2fort is my favorite map for this.

For me, it's the homosexual hillock

>>19032631
based, it's all so good

Sup /ck/. I'm not a drinker, but I do have a large booze collection for cooking and baking. Rate my shitty collection. I also have a box each of Franzia red and white. The bottle on the lower shelf is Sexton Irish whiskey.

>>19006334

>>19008280
Just tried a highball of this last night on the recommendation, holy shi>>19008187
t it was good.

Stoli has been my go too ever since Russian Standard got banned.


Any of you guys have rum recommendations? I have only ever drank Morgan and Jerry's. I like the taste of Morgan, thought Jerry's was the worst tasting alcohol I have ever had, ending up pouring it. Would like to keep it in the same price range but a little bit more expensive is fine. I usually mix with dark soda's.

>>19035396
Try appleton signature. It's a good entry point to non spiced rum with the distinct Jamaican funk.

>>19033870
nope, hard to find so I put it back.

>>19035406
how in the fuck people drink rum all the time w/o fear of having diabeetus??

>>19035419
All alcohol is made from sugars

>>19035406
Yeah I did a quick google and saw Appleton Estate and Mt.Gay as the recommended steps up.

Ill probably pick up a 750 of each next time I go to the store and decide what one I like better.

>>19030644
I'm not much of a drinker, but from what I've tried I prefer mezcal, although people say it's pretty much the same thing. A bit smoky and better tasting imo.
I tasted Pox (pronounced Posh) in Mexico and that was more like jet fuel.

Drink of the evening is a Barolo.

Hey weird question, I notice that when I buy my favorite beer from the grocery store, they keep it stored in a fridge and it tastes really good. I bought it from another store and they just keep it stored on the shelf at the ambient temperature and it doesn't taste as good. Is that reasoning enough? Next time I will buy from the grocery store and make note

>>19035673
You mean cold beer taste better?

>>19035693
I am kind of druk so bear with me. Kek of course I refrigerate the beer I buy always, I'm just pondering why this specific beer tastes significantly better does it help to hold and keep all the flavors in tact whereas the other store just lets it sit in room temperature. I dont know

>>19020531
I really should order some el dorado again, been over a decade.

>>19035437
yea but isn't the sugar content way higher compared to other liquor?

>>19035714
you're saying you notice beer that sits at room temperature on the shelves have a different taste compared to when it is stored in the cooler? The beer transported in the truck to the store wasn't refrigerated anon..

>>19035406
for me its worthy park because its a lot less sweet

>>19006153
Rare Breed is one of my favs but 101s cinnamon taste doesn't do it for me. OF 101 I prefer but don't buy it because of the massive headache in the morning.

>>19035714
I don't know if it could possibly be so extra oxidation as with wine due to warmer temperature, but I'd think it should have to be stored in warmer temperature for quite some time in order to have noticable change in taste.

>>19035771
>>19035848
That leads me to think it's just a different batch perhaps, IDK. Really I'm not crazy why is the beer I bought from the other store better?
I'm going crazy trying to figure this out

irish cream is 100% something you add either into some sort of mixed drink or into coffee. I can't imagine drinking it straight up unless I was a desperate alkie. pic related is quite good too if you want to try a different brand.

Wish I had some at hand, they don't export to my country. Some Cider Boys

This is the most tasteless vodka I've had, mixes nicely into anything. Recently though I've taken the steel reserve pill, knocking back a few tall boys just feels more relaxing than mixing drinks.
