Since I'm now old enough to legally gamble (and drink) in Canada, my friends and I are headed up to Casino Windsor for a long weekend of fun.  Any tips on gambling (or drinking) for me? I've been brushing up on Blackjack Basic Strategy and Let-It-Ride poker... |

Originally posted by NSNick Yeah, don't do them both at the same time.  Happy belated birthday, by the way. Oh, and drink on an empty stomach so the alchohol hits you harder. And don't drink Everclear straight. |

| OMG, like, I was going to wish you a happy birthday, but couldn't find you nowhere. My tip, forget the gambling, that way, you'll have more money for the booze. Go for beer, lots of it. The kind of drunkeness you get when all you've had is heaps of beer is the best drunkeness! |

| Drinking is bad, but if yuo have to do it drink some water before after and durning the drinking, as it will cause you to not have a hangover. Gambling is completely different. You want to do that when nothing is affecting you. So do them seperate. | |||

Happy birthday and go all out. Just don't bring all your money to the casino. My friend's birthday is today and that's where we are going tonight, and I'm not even going to bring my ATM card with me.  Drinks on me. |

| I got a good idea. Party and pass out at a hotel. Ummm as far as drinking, if you can handle it go out and drink a lot. |

| Any good shots I should try? I've only had beer, and the occasional liquor, but not really any real mixed shots. | |||

| If you're going to be drinking a lot, know this helpful rhyme that I had to learn the hard way cuz no one told me. Spurn it and you might end up puking. Especially if you eat greasy food along with it. "Liquor before beer, you're in the clear. Beer before liquor, never been sicker." I don't really do mixed shots but I like mixed drinks sometimes. Availability will vary depending on the bar and the bartender working, so just ask them what their best ones are. If you can, ask for an AMF (Adios Mother Fucker), Pink Lemonade, or a Long Island Iced Tea. Orange Bacardi with Sprite is also good. Of course, you can always go with stuff eveyone has, like Beam and Coke. |

| Happy Birthday Hmmm... The best drinks are cocktails Make sure you try plenty I doubt you'll be able to get pitchers of them, but if you find any one the night, buy a nice big pitcher of a cocktail with sour apple in it |

| On the subject of things I can do in Canada at 16 that I can't do in America, porn-watching is legal at 16. And no, I didn't mean to buy anything at the video store when I went there a few months ago. On a more relevant note, if you get 2 sevens in a row, you know you're on a roll, and you should just let it ride for a while.  At least I think... but honestly I know nothing of gambling... but somehow I find a way to always win at Blackjack (and no, not just when I'm the dealer, though my chances go up significantly then ), so if you go to the blackjack table, look out for me! And Blackjack's mostly luck, yes, but that's the easiest game for me to win, so maybe that'll be the same for you. |

| Act all cool and go "Martini. Shaken, not stirred." That'll go over well. Other than that, I have no idea. Can't say I'm the drinking type. |

| Yeah, I'm hoping my skill at Basic Strategy and some luck will net me some money at the Blackjack tables. I also plan on playing Let-It-RideTM Poker, Craps, Roulette, Baccarat, Video Poker and maybe some other games (Caribbean Stud Poker, Spanish 21, slots). I'll probably spend most of my time at the Blackjack and Let-It-RideTM tables. | |||

| Well, if beer is not your type, mr. NSNick, then I say, go for a Flatliner. It's a mix of Sambucca, Tequila, and Tabasco. Very good. Toxic: It's Vodka Martini, and it tastes horrible. Martini (or any other Vermouth) is good alone, Vodka is ok alone, but I don't like the mix. And stay clear of Gin, it's Satan's own making, that. |

| Tabasco? Sounds sketchy... I might try some "girly" drinks... And I never said beer wasn't my type, it's just I have beer all the time and I wanted to try some different things. | |||

| If you drink enough beer at home, our beer here in Canada will knock you off your stool. Enjoy your trip and know your gambling limits, you still need money to get home. |
