Drink of Choice/Prescription Drug of Choice


  • Iraq is a dry zone unfortunantly. Kind of lame the way I only got one year of legal drinking in before shipping out. :cry:

    @frimmel:

    Glenlivet if drinking whiskey. Splash of cold filtered water, no ice.

    Glenlivet is whisky  :-P


  • Dortmunder Gold is pretty damn good.

    @Cmdr:

    This is SO going to get locked as a political discussion….I can see it already.  All it will take is someone saying Marijuna should be legal and that’s it…oops, I said it!

    Really, it should be, and all other drugs.  Doesn’t mean you aren’t retarded if you still OD though.  Our approach to drugs just doesn’t make sense.  But you’re right, that’s too political for this.

    I see what you did there…


  • Spaten Octoberfest
    Tsingtao ( china)– i happen to love the taste of lead in beer.
    Stella Artois

    Alcohol can be for occasions not exceeding once a month. Other than that your a stupid drunk who’s dependent on substances for what little joy you deserve.

    Drugs are for losers. Sorry. That includes smokes too.

    LOL, when I was in the UK last year most of the people I talked to refered to Stella as “Wife Beater Beer”

    Spaten Oktoberfest was one of my first loves (along with Optimator), and Spaten is one of my faves.  Tsingtao was one of my others.  The Chinese immigrant in Paris was delighted I could pronounce it properly.  :lol:

    I disagree.  And apparently doctors do too…a drink or week or even every day is apparently good for your health.

    This just in…alcohol is a drug.  :-o  But I can see what you were going on with your previous statement.


  • @stuka:

    Stuka’s drink of choice: Scotch… I prefer blends over single malts… I know, it’s sad.

    you seem to young to enjoy scotch?

    @stuka:

    Stuka’s Prescription drug of choice: Since I was recently (and I mean just yesterday) diagnosed with TMJ, it would have to be either Flexoral or Valium.

    TMJ?


  • Beer: Spaten Mayboch
    Hard liquor: toss up between Jack straight up or any single malt scotch on the rocks
    Wine RED: Can’t go wrong w/Ruffino Classico…… everyday.
    Wine white: Montrachet (I know it’s french)
    Drug - there’s so many good ones…
    Mary-J for all occasions
    Mushrooms for those special occasions
    Occasional LSD, loved tripping w/the right group

    In my older age I guess it’s Motrin. How depressing.


  • For those who do not already know…

    Newcastle for beer (with my alternates being Fosters and Sam Adams Light)
    I have shifted away from my Spanish red wines to favoring some of the North Carolina Yadkin Valley wines (some phenomenal wines being produced in that region)
    And for spirits… Stolychnya.  With the occasional Kahlua or Amaretto cordial.


  • Stella as “Wife Beater Beer”

    most likely some development relating to British/Belgium hooligans who love their soccer teams> it tends to spill over in other areas where anything goes. The blokes like their own kind of dark beer. Lager is not for British tastes because it does not go with fried chips and other belch food.

    IN America Budwiser/coors is the choice for chimps and wife beaters too. Most likely because its cheap.

    Shing’ shau is the correct pronunciation for Tsingtao

  • '19 Moderator

    Of course I asked, they said that drinking stella makes you angry, I didn’t press the issue.


  • @Imperious:

    Ching Dao.

    And Stella is in no way near the crap like Budweiser.

  • 2007 AAR League

    my God, nobody likes budweiser.  i like budweiser.  no light beer here, but if its a must, coors light is the best light beer.

    well newcastle is awesome, same with guiness.  without going into the ritzy beers which are all good i do like budweiser the best from the mainstay of beers.

    but a good half and half (guiness floated on harp lager) is awesome.  no black and tans.

    crown and cokes are freakin great.

    a merlot is good for family gatherings.

    jameson whisky for liquer.

    and for mixed drink, the most fantastic drink in the world if made right(strong) and mixed well, the white russian.  or for some, the caucasian.

  • '19 Moderator

    People your killing me!

    Jamison is Whiskey!

    Scotts and Canadians Make Whisky

    Irish and Americans make Whiskey


  • Don’t get me wrong, I can drink a Bud if that’s all there is or someone is offering.  Coors light is definitely the better of the cheap American beers.

    I had a Bumblebee the other day…layered Guinness and Boddington’s, which was great.

    Crown doesn’t need coke, but yeah, it’s good.  Oh wait, I’m thinking of Southern Comfort.

    I knew the difference, DF, it’s still the same drink we’re talking about though.  :lol:  Jameson’s is the shit though!

  • '19 Moderator

    I have a half bottle of Jamesons in the pantry, and I have partaken of a fine 12 year single malt in the bar at the Bushmills distillery.  Mmmm, tasty.

    If you like southern comfort look around for a bottle of Celtic Crossing.  That stuff will blow your mind, and quite possibly make you stumble and fall down.

    I will admit there is some Coors original in my garage fridge for when I’m feeling particularly Red neck.  However it is sitting next to a half case of Guinness and a random assortment of ales and lagers.

    That Bumblebee sounds interesting, I may have to give that a once-over.

    Did any one else understand the back and tan comment by Bung?

    In Ireland “Back and Tan” is a foul phrase.  it is what the Irish called the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force in other words the bad guys in the Irish War of Independence.

    So if you ever in Ireland don’t order up a Black and Tan, it’s a half and half or a Smithwick’s with a Guinness head.

  • 2007 AAR League

    half and half is harp and guinness.  also called the roman catholic collar.

    the black and tan is guinness floated on the english made bass ale.  and its for n.ireland protestants.  and called the black and tan b/c of the uniforms.  and thats exactly what my neighbor said about ireland when i was going there.  “no black and tan, half and half”.  and he really meant it.  the guy was straight from ireland and talked in that thick “is it english?” accent.  either that or he was drunk too.  too bad he moved away.

    smithwicks?  i’ve heard of that, and i take it its enligsh ale also.

  • '19 Moderator

    AHHHHH, its Irish red ale, pronounced Smithicks and it’s delicious.  My mouth is watering, I may have to hit the pub at lunch…

    Let me tell you the later it is the harder it is to understand conversation in an Irish Pub.  I spent two weeks in Belfast and the surounding area last year  including a brief trip to Glasgow and London.


  • FYI……Spaten Maiboch is out.

    Had 4 of them last night. 17 percent alc (i think) and they are delicious. Check out your local german restaurant and you’ll find it. Get it on tap, it is worth it. Jim


  • I also have a fondness for one of the Belgian Abbey Ales, Maredsous or something like that.  Specifically, #8 Dubbel…  8% alcohol, good head, serious bite…

    And just 1 bottle will get even ME buzzed…
