I'm about to take a trip to the liquor store

k_rock923 · 9th November 2007, 19:11

What should I pick up?

SSJ4 Gogitta · 9th November 2007, 19:27

Gin and Juice.

But you really don't wanna.

Widdykats · 9th November 2007, 20:05

Well, yeah I'd wait a day or so..
Some stuff to keep around the house
Bottle Of Grey Goose
Bottle Of Merlot
Bottle Of Prosecco
Tonic water(Schweppes)
Limes
Bottle Of Camapri
You can pick 'em up anytime! You've got the next fifty years!

QOAL · 9th November 2007, 20:53

Some proper west country cider, that's good stuff.

Probably want some JD too. (bottle of cola if you feel like it.)

Too-DAMN-Much · 9th November 2007, 21:34

goldschlager and a grenade of that purple one that's really sweet, i can't remember the name right now, oh and some of the best vodka you can get.

aftershock, is good if your a wuss, just watch out, the blue one is really strong, overpoweringly so, takes like listerine almost, but more minty.

Omit Name · 9th November 2007, 21:50

dont do it! your liver will thank you

deathazre · 10th November 2007, 00:39

The liver is evil. It must be punished.

I'm almost out of jack... send another fifth my way?

MidnightViper88 · 10th November 2007, 02:04

Go take a trip down to Whiskey Alley and give Jack and Mark a ride home...

fc*uk · 10th November 2007, 02:17

MidnightViper88 · 10th November 2007, 06:50

The saga doesn't end until puking or a black-out is induced...

swingdjted · 10th November 2007, 07:07

Basics:
Vodka
Whisky (or Whiskey, depending on what you get)(includes Bourbon, Scotch, etc.)
Gin
Rum
Tequila
Brandy
Some Liqueurs/Mixers, choose based on what drinks you plan to make.
And of course some wine.

I would recommend prioritizing in that order and you'll be in good shape for just about anything. If you want suggestions/reviews of brands, tell me and I'll provide links to reviews and my own opinion (if I've had it).

Too-DAMN-Much · 10th November 2007, 08:26

gin #3? i only tried that stuff once...
lol it was some pretty good extra dry stuff my mom got, but it tasted like rubbing alcohol to me.

ryan · 10th November 2007, 09:31

I wonder how plastered he is by now.

Widdykats · 10th November 2007, 09:57

If he doesn't post for a couple of days, we'll search the ERS!

and it's Camapari!

k_rock923 · 10th November 2007, 12:56

I wasn't that plastered. But, suggest for me a good gin because I love martinis (I've liked them since long before I was legal).

Given the choice, though I often prefer a wine to a cocktail.

ElChevelle · 10th November 2007, 12:57

Jager for the win. Somehow, it stretches time and space leading to two day drunks followed by two days of hangover.

Widdykats · 10th November 2007, 13:02

psst.you li' lush, you!

ElChevelle · 10th November 2007, 13:17

Gin makes me queezy.

mysterious_w · 10th November 2007, 14:13

Let's see, what good beers might have made the trip across the pond..

Well, Guinness obviously, but you should be able to hunt out some Newcastle Brown Ale. Grab that.

Seconded. Newcastle is easily my favorite ale, Easily my favorite thing to drink when in the mood for alcohol. Harp is good too, Killian's is okay but for the poser Irish (It's owned by Coors), but for a good time had by all--Guinness. Unless you're more of a Jameson's cat. Nuthin like a good Irish coffee.

Oh, and Hi, Guys. This is my first post in umpteen million years.

Robster400 · 10th November 2007, 17:02

Its gotta be vodka & red bull if its gonna be a session

Gin is way too much for my taste buds,i dunno how ya can do it!

and yea, maybe a pint of guinness to go with my pie and chips on sunday

swingdjted · 10th November 2007, 17:24

Nice to see you back, Fickle.

Damn good Gin:

In my opinion:

Hendrick's Gin

Hard to find sometimes, but worth the search. A seemingly perfect blend of all ingredients to make what I think defines what gin should taste like. It's hard to describe in words what makes it so perfect; I guess it just has to be tasted to understand. Hendrick's is to gin as Pavarotti's music is to Opera.

Bombay Sapphire

Much easier to find, and to me, it's only second to Hendrick's when tasted side by side. It has all the taste a gin drinker expects while still smooth as the fine crystal martini glass it's meant to be poured into.

Tanqueray No. 10

I put this one in there because it does have a very refined taste and is a favorite of people who prefer a little less Juniper taste and more of the other botanicals and citrus flavors. Because of it's lighter Juniper taste, it can help transition a non-gin person to enjoy good gins, and it can be further tamed in mixed drinks where the recipe calls for gin yet the drinker isn't too sure they want a gin drink.

ryan · 10th November 2007, 19:53

Hi fickle!

Too-DAMN-Much · 11th November 2007, 01:28

AH-HA!
i asked my mom and the little "grenade" of liquor i mentioned earlier is called Chambord she says, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
a little sweet for the taste of some though, raspberry flavored goodness, plus a cool container

Pic

swingdjted · 11th November 2007, 02:49

Yup. Makes a bar look good, and keeps the ladies happy, but too sweet for me.

k_rock923 · 11th November 2007, 04:23

So, I feel like the novelty has already thankfully worn off. I took out a pint glass, poured a Killian's and just drank it for the sake of enjoying it and not to get drunk. That was all the alcohol I had and it really was great. This is far better than the whole getting smashed all the time thing.

Chambord is in The French Martini..Vodka(Goose) A lil' Chambord dash of Pineapple! It's a lil sweet, but not *barf* sweet!

I like Beefeater in a G&T, but not often.
Tanqueray is very distinct. I've like that in certain mixes.
Campari is made also from Juniper berries. Campari and Tonic is a great apÃ©ritif! (Hic)

Too-DAMN-Much · 11th November 2007, 09:14

Lemon drops are always good too

watadoo · 11th November 2007, 13:38

Prosecco and peach nectar for before dinner Bellinis. A good Merlot to go with dinner and then depending on locale and weather conditions, either Gin/tonic water and a lime, dark rum and ice cubes or Laphroaig, neat.

ElChevelle · 11th November 2007, 15:14

Nighttrain before dumpster diving with a splash of Mad Dog 20/20 afterwards while flossing with one's own pubic hair.

Widdykats · 11th November 2007, 17:10

^ I "saw" all of that! It wasn't pretty!

@watadoo: I don't drink Bellinis that much in winter!
Uh...you live where?

psyfive · 11th November 2007, 19:14

Let's see...

When I was drinking I would have probably gotten a bottle of Vodka, but not just any vodka. The cheap stuff. The kind that you find on the bottom shelves. You know, the stuff that costs $4.50 for a gallon. It tastes harsh, burns on the way down, and makes for one hell of a hangover. My buddies and I would line up shots of the shitty vodka and see who pukes first. good times.

Really though, I have been craving some Vanilla Grey Goose mixed with 7up. mmmm.

Jager straight up sounds pretty good too.

or Jack and Pepsi. I always got the worst looks when I mixed those, but who cares? I was the one drinking it.

How rich are you? I got one of them last night, it was near enough Â£4.50. Now, if your sole aim is to get drunk, as in really, really, can't figure out how to open a taxi door drunk, there is only one choice. Quad vodka and iron brew.

Oh yes, they serve it, and where I get it it's only Â£2.

swingdjted · 11th November 2007, 23:35

I'm not rich at all, but when it comes to food and drinks, I go for damn good shit. If I can't afford it, I just don't have any drinks till I can afford a good one.

In college this wasn't exactly the case though. $11.99 bought a 36 pack of Bush Light or a case of Beast Ice.

k_rock923 · 11th November 2007, 23:42

Ted, suggest me a good rum, if you would. A lot of students here consider captain to be good. I was under the impression that it was mediocre at best.

Razzinno · 11th November 2007, 23:51

Yes, I'm curious what Ted or others suggest as well. I've always used Bacardi Select.
