[quote=TheMalcolmConnection]That's just asking for a coma for me. I'll do an Irish Car Bomb here and there, but liquor and I are arch-nemesii (?). The closest I've come to going to the hospital was a liquor night.[/quote]

LOL I've had some of my more classic moments while boozed up.

Whiskey and I are mortal enemies. Brings out the true a-hole in me.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

HAHA! What is it about certain liquors? That's how tequila and I are. Whenver tequila and I get together, it's always a disaster. Talk about BLACK OUTS! This is ONLY with tequila, but every time I get wasted on it, I wake up with shit written on me or somewhere I don't remember how I got. My last night in college senior week, I woke up in this chick I worked with's bed (not with her, she was sleeping on the couch).

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection]That Michelob Ultra Amber is pretty tasty for "healthy" beers.

My favorite calorie-watching drink is vodka and soda with lime (gotta' be Grey Goose though).[/quote]

We're definitely on the same page. Ultra amber isn't bad, a little too carbonated to pound more than a few though.

LOVE me some grey goose. My wife got me a nice big bottle for graduation and it's waiting to be cracked. This weekend might be a good time.

That and Patron are the nectar of Gods. I can NEVER, EVER afford it, but when a special occassion comes around, my parents will get it for me for Christmas or my birthday. Patron is the smoothest tequila ever created.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

[quote=Mattyk72]Well, lite beer still has alcohol as opposed to decaf which eliminates the caffeine.

In my older age I try to watch my carbs more, so that's why I lean towards the lite beers. Except when I'm drinking Guinness, but that's more carb and calorie friendly that alot of beers anyway.[/quote]

I hear you on the beer v. coffee.

As far as carbs go, I'm a pretty lean guy so I can drink into infinity and never, ever put on a pound...it's pretty amazing actually.

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection]Also, I want to give a forewarning here before this thread turns into that ES thread over there where people give other people shit for what they drink.

It's not what you drink, it's the fact you hang out with people WHILE you do it. I won't deny my embarassed by my buddy (who's like 285 of solid muscle) who drinks daiquaris, but I don't give him shit about it.[/quote]

Yeah amen to this. I hate when dudes make fun of other dudes for drinking something "unmanly" or something like that. It's like hey asshole, how about you fret over the size of your own penis somewhere else, take your insecurities elsewhere, because us guys over here just want to shoot the sh*t, have fun, and drink what we want to drink.

Usually if you're making fun of someone else for drinking something "girly", then it's usually a sign of insecurity. Those people need to develop some self-confidence.

Anyway, beer is great. I always prefer beer over liquor or wine. But if my boys want to order a round of cosmos, fine by me. They're out boozin with me, that's the bottom line.

Ten years later, I still retch at the smell of Jim Beam. I drank half of a handle one night and paid dearly for the next two days. The next day was memorable because it was the Redskins/Giants game that ended in a tie, special thanks to Michael Westbrook for taking off his helmet and knocking us out of field goal range.

Nice. Gin does it to me, it makes me downright mean. It's like drinking pure concentrated evil. I've yelled at my buddies for no apparent reason after hitting the G&Ts.

I'm one of the most laid back and chill people I know, but give me some whiskey and I'll curse out your grandmother and take swings at light posts, trees, anything that gets in my way.

I love G&T's. That's pretty much all I drank when I went to Vegas last year.

Funny because I can remember the first G&T I ever had and I thought it was awful, tasted like bug spray to me.

I still drink Boone's Farm and that's about as vagnified as you can get. It's cheap, tastes good, and is refreshing as hell.

Gin tastes a lot like pine needles to me unless it's mixed with some juice.

I agree, but I have to admit I'll rip on someone for drinking Coors lite. It just strikes a cord with me for some reason.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's hilarious because it's specifically Coors Lite. Not Bud Light. Not Miller Lite, but Coors Lite. LOL

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Did Coors Light say something bad about your mother Matty?

Re: Let's talk beer
 

I don't what it is (or was) about Kamikaze's but I used to get just wild when I drank those. I'm talking Animal from the Muppets wild.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

HAHA. Kamikazes are my default shot. Fairly cheap, tastes good, decent punch.

I guess it just relates to my hatred of Jetta driving chicks. It's totally a beer that a Jetta driving chicken head drinks with a straw no less.

Argh

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Nice. You just drank it because a chick didn't want it right? ;)

I'll say this: I won't give any guy shit for drinking cosmos, daiquaris, etc. out, but I'll be damned if I order one. And I'll totally admit that I don't want to be called a pussy while I'm out for drinking one. Call it insecure, call it what you will, but at least I won't talk shit about others.

I get this angry streak where I want to fight when people talk shit to me while I'm drunk and NO ONE wants to get his ass kicked by the guy who just downed a Cosmo.

I see those Jetta driving chicks wearing trucker hats and getting wasted on PBR because they're SO trendy. And then putting a lei around their necks.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

I just got really into JD, I love that stuff. But like you guys said, I get really loud and abusive when I drink it. The problem is, unlike most liquors, I actually like the taste of whiskey, must be in my blood to like it.

Put either tequila or Bacardi Lemon in to Corona for a really good drink.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Speaking of "let's talk beer", I'll be talking beer at home this afternoon because I have some comp time and no doubt that I'll be drinking at home.

What if they just downed any drink with a straw? Could be the most unmanly looking thing ever.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Is it unmanly to stick a straw in a pitcher of beer? I've been wondering that because when I get SUPER wasted, I just stick a straw in the pitcher.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

But it can't be a normal straw. It has to be two of those sippy straws.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Shit, speaking of beer/liquor, I could really use some right now because I have to go stand around a cake for yet another office birthday party. I wish I had my flask right now.

Re: Let's talk beer

No, Malcolm that's not unmanly...a little gross maybe, but not unmanly:)

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Is there a stripper in the cake?

Re: Let's talk beer
 

[quote=12thMan]No, Malcolm that's not unmanly...a little gross maybe, but not unmanly:)[/quote]

Whew. Good, I was concerned. It's just easier for me to get to "totally obnoxious" Phase III when I drink beer out of a straw in a pitcher.

I hate those office birthday parties....and all those fat chicks clamouring for a slice of cake...speaking of which, I think I'm gonna buy Office Space tonight. Great movie!!!

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Speaking of all of this, I think we need to get together and drink very soon. Aside from the usual suspects that I've already met or am going to meet at games this year, why the hell isn't GIGgity, Grillz, 12thMan or mheisig coming to opening day for MalcolmFest 2006?!?!

Re: Let's talk beer

I guess that's not unmanly.

HAve you ever had a shot (for lack of a btter term) called a Zipperhead? You need a straw for that one because you are supposed to drink it as fast as possible.
You mix vodka, rasberry shnapps, a little bit of tonic water and ice in a cup and down it through a straw. Its the type of drink that doesn't hit you for a minute, but when it does it's nice.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Nah. I haven't had a whole lot of shots besides my old stand-bys and straight-up stuff.

Re: Let's talk beer
 

Here's my alcohol chart and the effects:

Beer: I can drink beer all night and not get too trashed, I have a great, happy drunk with beer.

Whiskey: instant a-hole, I'm my own worst enemy on this stuff. If I do drink it I have to really watch myself and switch off to beer after a few. If all I drink is whiskey for the night, I'm in trouble and so is anyone around me.

Vodka: I get absolutely trashed on vodka. I have no control, by the end of the night I'm drinking straight vodka with just a splash of mixer. Big fan of this stuff.

Gin: pretty mellow drunk, I don't get too drunk or out of control, just right.

Wine: I'm starting to become more of a wine fan lately. I love the buzz, it reminds me more of being stoned than drunk.

Tequila: Kinda like wine, I almost feel more stoned than buzzed.

I'm going to the game, I'll meet up with you guys.

I just shoved my hand into the cake, no stripper! I guess I should have known since it's on like 1'x1'
