[quote=Skydude]I didn't even start drinking until I came to college a few years ago, but my tastes have shifted remarkably since then.  At the start, I would take very large shots of hard liquor, and I really didn't much like beer at all.  I think the former might have been an attempt at a "macho" kind of thing.

At some point my sophomore year, though, I started to shift in completely the opposite direction, such that shots of hard liquor weren't that great, and while I liked mixed drinks, beer was pretty much my favorite thing to drink.  The problem was that unless I wanted to go out and buy it myself, the beer I had was the cheapass stuff at parties.

Well, pubs in England changed that.  So much variety of beer, and a lot of it really, really good.  I've decided that I like the darker stuff a lot better in general, and I enjoy a Guinness from time to time.  Usually, though, I look for variety.  If there's a beer I haven't had on a list of beers in a place, I'm usually more likely to get that than something I've already had.  It's a lot more interesting that way.

As far as wine goes...I enjoy it, but I'm not really much of a wine taster, to be honest, so I can deal with the cheap wine, though I am able at least to tell that it's not as good.  As far as cheap wine goes, your best bet, if it's available, is Charles Shaw, affectionately known as "2 Buck Chuck" since it's actually decent as far as cheap wine goes.[/quote]

Skydude Posts: 2021/2607	Originally posted by DSM Passover was on Wednesday so I got to drink some wine. Got a little light headed. It was interesting though. What that reminds me of is a friend of mine who can drink rum like nobody's business, but gets a bit tipsy from her Passover wine.
Kyoufu Kawa Posts: 712/1353	Hertog Jan beer. One bottle a day, during weekends at home. Rest is coke all the way.
Wurl Posts: 735/842	Sparks, Olde English and Corona with limes for tonight.

NSNick Posts: 941/2228	Nothing like celebrating Easter with Jello shots in Easter eggs. I had 10 as soon as I walked in the door. They were pretty weak, though.
Skydude Posts: 1995/2607	Joke all you want, but I've had plenty of experience with all sorts of alcohol. That particular night I started out with two shots of vodka, and over the course of about 3 hours had at least 4 beers/ciders as well as a few cups (read: 2-3 normal servings each) of wine from a box. Or something like that. I don't really remember, to be honest. But it was a lot

Lord Rahl Posts: 51/57	I don't really like beer. Haven't found any I could stand. Same with wine. What I do drink on occasion, though, is mized drinks, like rum or rye with pop.
NSNick Posts: 916/2228	Originally posted by Skydude So did you play that because someone at the party suggested it, or from my suggestion? Anyway, the biggest thing to not get a hangover, I've found, is just to drink plenty of water over the course of the night and before you go to sleep. I've gotten very few hangovers with that strategy. Also, you can still be a little drunk when you wake up.
Ziff Posts: 920/1800	Edward 40shands has been a time honored tradition that I've done since Grade 10.

Ziff Posts: 918/1800	Last night I played Edward 40s Hands. I did okay. I'm going to play Edward Mickey Hands next week. :O
Tarale Posts: 730/2713	Yeah, it'll give you a hangover, particularly if you mix it with other things. Course, there are bottled wines that are nasty too. Lambrusco comes to mind.
NSNick Posts: 915/2228	Originally posted by Wurl Wine in a box is good if you're trying to get drunk, but not if you want real wine. Also not if you don't want to get a hangover.
Wurl Posts: 707/842	Olde English is a cheap, drunk man's beer. That's why it's always available at the local punk shows (And yes, I bum it). Wine in a box is good if you're trying to get drunk, but not if you want real wine.
Skydude Posts: 1861/2607	Well what that actually reminds me of is a pretty awful game that I've seen but not played known as "Edward 40hands" which is pretty much what it sounds like. You have two 40s, and they're duct taped to your hands such that you can't really do anything with your hands but finish the 40s. Until you do, you can't take them off. Keep in mind that the human bladder has a limited capacity below 80 ozs and you get quite a challenge to finish them quickly. REALLY quickly.
drjayphd Posts: 398/1170	Originally posted by mcknasty Originally posted by Muzgash the Mean I was playing beer pong with it and my team totally sucked so I lost a hell of alot. I think that I ended up drinking somewhere between 4 and 6 40oz's. I went to the hospital for like six or nine hours and by the time I got out I was still trashed. When they tested my BA level at the hospital it was like .28 and that was after I had puked for an hour and stopped drinking two hours before that. between four and six 40s of steel reserve? i don't think i could even live through that. a friend of mine claims to have had eight 40s (st ides i think) in one night. of course the only way he was able to keep it down was by doing plenty of coke also. Well yeah, I would think the cocaina would help. I had one 40 during Senior Week (Olde English "800" HG, specifically) and I was D-U-N DONE. I bow down.
