Drunkaholics (+18) / US(+21) ;)

hey mate
when i drink and i dont drink that mutch it is beer most of the time...some cocktails here and there
but not when i am out because it is way to expensive...so mainly beer

I do like a red wine or a rose.

But in terms of spirits a friend introduced me to tequila shots with orange and cinnamon it's really nice and much better than the usual lemon/salt combination.

+16: is that a misprint or is that the legal age to drink in Bulgaria? It is 18+ here.

I'm fine with wine, beer, whatever. Though with spirits it has to be in a nice mix, I don't like them straight up.

I think the worst thing I ever drank was this super strong Chinese rice wine. It felt like I was drinking rocket fuel but it was so bad and so strong that I did not drink a lot of it. I'm not keen on tequila either after a bad experience a long time ago when I was younger. I think we've all got a least favourite drink like that!

I used to be a heavy drinker. I liked Absolute vodka, Johnny Walker Black, many beers.

But, I completely stopped drinking from November 2014, because of the terrible gout attacks in the middle of 2014...
Now I haven't drunk a sip at all over 4 years, huh.

The first two years was quite difficult.

What I surprisingly realized was that the beer commercials, you know late nights, are a very strong stimulus kind of deep thirst for alcohol, which I never felt like that when I was a drinker 🙂

I'm a beer guy myself, and recently I've fallen in love with sour beer, which I didn't know existed until I was on a trip. I've been drinking one called "Freedom of Speach", which a peach flavored sour beer. I've also found one that is made in my state that is a raspberry ale that tastes like a Lambic.

I'm with Ed though: no tequila for me. I had it when I was younger and I remember going to class and just rocking back and forth on my desk and I fell over. Now the taste of it makes me queasy. 🤢

Yeah I'm having the same problem going out...which is not too often these days to be honest..but at least you're having some of the words finest beers out there man!

1350 breweries...between 5000-6000 different beers
but my favorite beers are from belgium (leffe blond) and czechia (budweiser budvar)

I'm not sure about that. Never drink so I don't really understand how drinks taste. But I have a friend who drinks every night because near my house there is a star brand beer company whose products are exported abroad.

I'm a big fan of caffeine and nicotine. I drink 5-10 cups of robusta and arabica coffee, also 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day.

The most puke worthy alcoholic beverage is sambucca, IMO. During my uni days bars used to serve warmed up yellow sambucca called a urine sample....stupidity of youth. Was disgusting doing down and even worse coming back up 🤢

oh yes cl-klaw pure sambucca taste really disgusting...i can not understand that some people
drink it pure !
but have you ever taste a "slippery nipple" ...it is 1/2 oz. sambuca and 1/2 oz. baileys.
if you have not taste one so far give it a try ...it is a great shot

my favorite drinks beside beer are "white russian" and "mojito".
the problem with the "white russian" is to get the kahlua (it is a coffee liqueur) which you
wont find in a normal supermarkt her

cheers

Ah, yes the slippery nipple - have had a few of those shots in my time 🍺
That's interesting Kahlua is hard to get where you're from - what do you use when making Tiramisu?

Ah yes, I spent a month in Germany during 2006 following the World Cup football and I can safely say I have never drunk as much before or since. By the end of the trip I was smashing down those huge steins with ease. My friend became known as the Cupmeister because he was always able to collect about three times as many cups as we used so he was making a fortune every time he returned them for the money refund. I really like that system, it encourages people to not throw things away.

The beer in the halls and beer gardens there never seemed to give me a bad hangover which made it even better. So the beer was all good... the jager bombs on the other hand... another vomit worthy drink!

Oh man, those beer halls sound amazing. I want to visit for a period and become known as Du-stein!

as you may know, the germans are a bit pedantic and according to the original recipe, no alcohol gets into a tiramisu. but most people put either marsala or amaretto into the tiramisu...

anyway, i only could found kahlua in a special liquor store...i was also a little surprised

Ha-ha..The White Russian!?!...just heard of it never tested it my self but I'm definitely curious about it as for that Sambucca shot mate...it looks to be nice...but that's a weird choice of a name there anyway..won't ask why is that 🙂

never had one ? you have to...it taste great
and what is good for el duderino couldn't be bad for you 😂 😂

I've never been a hard drinker in my life, so I prefer beer too. Occasionally a glass of good wine.

I've always been a beer guy, Kokanee or if money was tight, Keystone. I partied way too much when I was younger, I always switched from beer to hard liquor at some point through the night.
One drink I frequently ordered was shots of Jose Cuervo tequila.

My recommendation is Crown Royal and 7up

Hailing from Canada, what are your thoughts on Moosehead? When I was a poor college student I'd go across the border into Windsor and I could buy those for a dollar or so each. Imagine my surprise when I moved a few hours away and found the price of that beer had surged in my local American bar to a whopping $2!

Now that I can afford better things, I haven't had that beer in forever, and it actually isn't available anymore. But man, buying a night's worth of beer with a pocket full of change is something I won't soon forget.

My grandfather was alcoholic, my father has problem with this as well but had a better fortune here. I dont know why but alcohol never attracted me and actually i was using it just because of friends. Also i never used alcohol two days in a row and i cant imagine how people can look at it next day. Usually i drink alcohol two times per year, sometimes i dont drink all year long at all. Never liked strong drinks as vodka, brandy and so on. For me always were better something tasty. But anyway i never liked that feeling of being drunk. I am really wondering why me and my brother dont have that addiction:) But i am really happy about that. Despite both my grandpa and father never were aggressive because of the alcohol but it works negative on health. My grandpa would be alive until now if not vodka.
This year i already was using alcohol once and it happened on this Sunday. My father came to visit me and we drank some beer and wine. He had brandy as well but i refused. So i lost that day. When i feel drunk i cant do something else just communicate. Because i had good Friday and Saturday on Monday i have got some withdrawals so a day should be full of action but i didnt have energy at all, didnt have interest at all so all the day was lost again. So for me it's much better to stay away from alcohol and i am happy that i dont have problems to do it:) But you never know what can happen in the future, genes are dangerous in that aspect...
Last years in Lithuania government changed all the laws fro alcohol. Now Lithuanians can buy it from 21 years old and it always was from 18. Also were are limited hours, limited places to buy it. People not very happy about that but i think we need it because my country was one of the leaders of alcohol using in the world.

It's good to see that you're self-aware enough to see that drinking isn't for you. Good on ya!
