A glass of the worst whiskey on hand. Straight.

whiskey, the alcoholic's liquor of choice for nearly 800 years

vodka tonic
vodka red bull
vodka cranberry juice
Bailey's
Bailey's and half and half
Chambord and half and half

Those are my usual drinks.

I usually start a night of heavy drinking with a shot of tequila, straight, none of that salt&lime crap. I then move on to dark beer and scotch, usually. "Chick drinks" are also fine at this point, so long as they're tasty and have loads of liquor in them.

For lighter fare, I like red wine. There's a couple of varieties that I know I like (e.g. port) but I'm nowhere near enough of a connoisseur to actually give recommendations.

Caribbean Rum + Vodka + Pineapple Juice

>classy
This is what I drink.

Gin and Pineapple Juice.
Got the idea from H.H. in "Lolita"
Can't go a morning without drinking one, now.

Anything available. Usually mediocre vodka mixed with any unspoiled juice left in my fridge.

Maker's Mark if I happen to have a lovely lady over.

coffee + grand marnier
bourbon - woodford or bookers generally, neat or with 1 ice cube
campari, 1 ice cube
dubonnet rouge, rye, cointreau, angostura bitters
basil mojito
ouzo
normally an ipa when beer, occasionally flemish sour ale

good taste. i'm also partial to bookers, though i prefer wild turkey rare breed as my go to.

Gin and Tonic.
Maker's Mark.
Cheap beer.

All a motherfucker ever needs.
Well, coke too, but that isn't a drink.

Both of you anons should try Blanton's bourbon. Much better than Booker's or Woodford.

Most the time I just get whatever the cheepest alcohol I can get. Which is usually Vodka.

>>1997709
I suggest some Grey GOOSE, WILD TURKEY, KINGFISHER and/or PELICAN beer. Those should all be CHEEP enough for you.

I'm partial to pale ales, brown ales, stouts (particularly oatmeal stouts), and cask ales in cold weather when I'm somewhere that actually serves cask ales.

For hard liquor, I only really like spiced rum and bourbon straight. I can do vodka, gin and cognac if they're mixed with something, but I think they're pretty vile straight.

Pic is what I drank this morning.

Harp or Pacifico for beer
when it is hot a gin and tonic or a julep
otherwise a cuba libre or a martini
with a cigar I have a tawny port
When I have my friends over and it is just a group of dads it is hennessy
And when I am in a good mood and by myself or celebrating a big sale with the Wife, Remy Martin

is group of dads your flock of seagulls tribute band

When I used to drink; which I did heavily, it rotated between tequila+beer/bourbon/scotch. But I was a drunk and fucked up my entire life doing insane things while drunk. So, not so much anymore.

IPAs suck

but that is just my opinion

>>1997751
That is fucking AWESOME!! It is now!


Actually, since you asked, I am a seriously-Catholic husband and father and my close friends are pretty much the same. 5 guys with stay-at-home wives and 26 kids between us. When we get together, we have steaks followed by cigars and cognac.

>Personally, I prefer either good beer or bourbon. For beer, I prefer IPAs, stouts, and sours. Some good sipping anejo tequila can be nice too.

Well done, OP! Well done!
>Drop the bourbon for a black russian, though

Recommend trying double/trippel IPAs from Quebec and Belgium

PABST BLUE RIBBON

Vodka.

26 kids? Jesus.

I love my cigar, too, but I take it out once in a while.

Mountain Dew. Throwback when I can find it.

>>1997772
>5 kids apiece

I mean, I don't mean it in a sarcastic or rude way, but why? Why would you want to have so many kids. 2, maybe 3 I can see, but what compels you to have so many?

Red wine mixed with pepsi.

Johnnie Walker Black

Only water.

Rum, cognac, or whiskey.

For rum I really like what's coming out of Venezuela (Santa Teresa 1796, Diplomatico, Pampero) and Guyana (El Dorado).

For cognac I tend to go with the smaller houses, you can find amazing stuff really cheap because they don't spend endless millions on their marketing. Delamain, Tesseron, Gourmel, Ferrand.

As for whiskey, I tend toward Speyside (Macallan, Benriach, Glenfarclas) from Scotland, but also enjoy some of the Japanese stuff. Nikka makes some fucking amazing blends, especially "from the barrel" is one of my favourites.

All of the above usually go with a Cuban, 99% of the time Partagas or Hoyo.

Currently got a bottle of this, have a glass or so a night too ease me to slumber.
When I'm out and about on the weekends, my student budget allows me to purchase a fine cask of wine, or perhaps some pre mixed bourbon and colas, after which I precede to drink the shit out of anything I can find, continuing until I either fall asleep (too stoned), get beaten up ( too drunk) or get too high to drink any more. Upon which I return home and sit in the dark listening to J Dilla and Explosions in the Sky on repeat

Islay scotch and red wine fermented solely from grape skins.

>>1998005
>Islay scotch

I never understood how people can drink that shit. Is the taste of overpowring smoke, iodine, rocks, and seaweed really that appealing?

I enjoy alcohol in all its forms. I enjoy good beer, my preferred style depends on the season and the weather. I like a nice wine, my preferred varietal depends on what I'm eating with it.

But my most common drink is simply bourbon on the rocks.

Guinness and Black Label. Cointreau, Glenlivet. I've been testing around with different wines because sometimes I like to park myself on the toilet in the evenings and turn on the wall heater and get buzzed while reading. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

>>1998007
Actually yes. It took a bottle of Laphroaig over the course of three months before I could really appreciate Islays but now they're pretty amazing.

lost abbey, russian river, hair of the dog, alesmith, cantillion, and lagunitas are the best breweries

expensive beer, my personal preferences go towards ipa's and flavorful stouts and porters... which I can rarely get around here but a nice ruination ipa ftw

2 buck chuck merlot, fuck all you people who watched sideways its good

brandy

>>1998007
yeah, i agree. i used to try many scotches because my dad is really into them and has a ton of costly shit. but i could never get into the flavor of the barrel. i prefer the vanilla/caramel notes of bourbon and even tequila. a good rum can be perfect with just ice too, letting it mellow and open up with the water. i talk like a fag but its all true

>>1998078

a 12 pack of 2 buck chuck never hurt anybody

Mint tea when I am home (in a Muslim country). Cider when I am away.
