Favorite Alcoholic Beverage

**Mang** · 01-03-2009, 10:39 AM

I hate beer, and having a "favourite beer" is a huge inside joke within the male community. They all taste the same - fizzy, bitter crap... Can't stand it. The only differences I can see is in bitters and lagers. Bitters taste really horrible, lagers taste horrible, and all the same. Drink it quite a lot though.

Don't like spirits either.

Favourite drink is wine and I know nothing about vintage or flavours but i've yet to come across a wine I really hated so i'm fine. I would quite like some wine in my belly right now.

Mine would have to be a beer. Pretty much any beer. But the beer I love to drink at any time is definitely an ice cold Molson.

First you say we have a shitty taste in alcohol then say you like 'pretty much any beer'

smooth.

lol grow up.

I tend to have a preference for bottled ales. Hobgoblin used to be a favourite but I recently discovered Marstons Firestoker which is possibly the most unique ale I have come across.

I tend to steer clear of spirits but will drink JD and coke.

Wine I think should be kept with food only.

I'm pretty sure you're not stupid enough to suggest me disliking beer makes me immature, so i'll assume you're referring to my comment about all beers tasting the same.

What I mean is, I find it funny when people say "Oh man carling is disgusting, you have to drink grolsch", when they both taste exactly the fucking same. I'm not pretending to be some kind of expert on all things beer, but i've tried a fair few and like I said, bitters have their own taste but all the same as each other, as with lagers.

I've drank carling, carlsberg, budweiser, grolsch, stella, kronenberg, fosters... every one of them is identical to me.

Yes I was referring to your apparent inability to differentiate, it is a trait usually seen in those who are too young to have drunk much or don't drink beer.

There are quite distinct differences, admittedly not between all beers, but they certainly don't all taste the same.

I said you guys probably have shitty taste in beer. But I never said I was any better. And I should have clarified. I love beer. I love good beer, irish beer, german beer, domestic beer, imported beer, expensive beer, cheap beer, dark beer, light beer, and everything in between.

No. You didn't. Read it again dumbass.

I can't believe no one has yet mentioned the greatest beer around which is obviously Desperados. Come on, beer with tequila? What more do you people want?

I kind of stopped drinking lager too much. Bock Artois is surprisingly nice despite the 7%ABV. I spent many a night hammered on that.

Guiness and black is pretty good too, if I'm in an 'old man' mood.

Johnny Walker Black is also pretty good to just sit back with now and then.

Summer wouldn't be summer without a few dozen SoCo and lemonades with lime wedge.

If it's a 'cocktails' kind of night then nothing beats a Tequila Sunrise but the place we usually go to doesn't do them so a Harvey Wallbanger or a Berry Daiquiri is usually what I order.

Sambuca is pretty cool as well. Not drunk it in over a year though since I was on holiday since me and my mate became friends with the owner of a bar in Greece and he kept giving us free shots.

I grew up on Budweiser, so despite it being absolutely shit I'll still knock em back pretty voraciously.

If I'm drinking wine then I'll go for a nice french Sauvignon Blanc or a vintage Chilean Pinot Grigio. I hate red wine and try my best to avoid it.

I mostly drink vodka/coke when I'm on a night out though. It's cheap, nasty and gets the job done.

I feel like I'm missing something out which is a shame.

I knew 5 seconds after I posted that I said alcohol in the original post and beer in the later post.

I just decided to wait it out and see who felt pedantic enough to bring it up.

I'm surprised it took as long as it did.
