Title: Favorite drink while gaming
Post by: missioncontrol on January 08, 2007, 12:24:13 am
So what's your poison?

When you throw a party and gather around your cabinet to show it off and to play a few games, what is your alcohol of choice?

Mine?

Asahi or Kirin beer if I'm drinking imports

miller Lite is my favorite domestic brew

and if I'm hitting something harder it is usually Saki.....

what's in your liqueur cabinet or your choice of drink?

Tequila, champers, tart fuel - anything that's to hand really.  I love alcohol.  Did I mention that I love alcohol?

Currently drinking a Knob Creek and coke..... :cheers:

But I kick it with pretty much anything that's not a fruity drink.  Been loving rum and coke lately, any local micro-brews, gin & tonic on a hot day, pretty much any good vodka (ciroc, grey goose)...

I have a full bar outside my theater, so I like to "mix" it up...get it?

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - the old standby.

Tanquery Ten and tonic over ice with a chunk of lime if I'm feeling frisky.

You guys be careful.  I don't want Chad jumping back on the wagon.  I don't care if he leaves this site, but I don't want him to start drinking again.

Bud Light.

Don't worry, I usually drink it on the rocks....but I was out of Jack and felt like a bourbon and coke....tis a waste of a fine liquor mixing it with a pedestrian soda, but sometimes you gotta sacrifice one for the team.

 "Mojito"  I know it's considered a fruity type drink but I think it rocks.  I've also been getting into Bloody Mary's lately.  You can get good and drunk trying to make the perfect Bloody Mary.

What a bunch of alchoholics! ;)

I don't drink beer myself. If I do drink, it is a desert type, or fruity drink.

My fav. alcoholic beverage is my own invention - the super chocolate shake.

-Cookies 'n Cream Ice Cream
- handful of Chocolate Teddy Grahams
-a little milk
- some chocolate syrup
- Skyy Spiced Vodka
- Cask & Cream Chocolate temptation Liquor (I love that stuff)

That is the girliest girly-girl drink I've ever heard of.  Even a girl would be embarrased to order that.

I'll bet it tastes good.

I have never liked beer. I know... it's sad. I used to like jim beam and JD until the unfortunate evening that we ran out and filled in with peach schnapps and orange juice  :lame: <-- I turned that color green.
I then became a wine guy. I found Pinot Grigio (before that dumb movie made it popular).
Margaritas then became my happy drink.
Now, I do not drink like did as a yout.
But when I do, I like to enjoy a little SoCo on ice.  (sounds like a commercial eh')
mmmmmmmmsoooocooooooo.

Nah, I don't consider a mojito any more of a girlie drink than a good fresh squeezed margarita on the rocks (none of that blended crap though).  A well made Mojito is like a tall drink of water on a hot day.

I really like good bloody marys too.  My secret ingredient is olive juice...tasty stuff.

BEER....  too many to list..  Aussie beers as staple and imports every 3rd or so buy (Millers, Corona maybe 2 or 3 times a year.. too easy too drink!!, James Squire, Boags.. :blah:)

GOOD Tequila on ice

Mamu-u-Tatu (rough polish translation.... Mum and Dad).  What is it?.  My grandfathers Polish homemade family recipe (RIP).  Fricken simple.  50% Polish 'Spiritus'.. 50% Italian Cherry Syrup.   Now Polish Spiritus is about 95% clean pure spirits.. smells like clean metho!!  Have to shake it about 3 times a day for 3-4 days to get it too mix.. and then.. WOOOHHHHH >:D   Sip it outta a shot glass or just shoot the bastard.  Lovely!!!!! ;D

In fact.. currently drinking Aussie 'Crown lager' and 'Mamu-u-Tatu'...  :dizzy:

Beer is the nectar of gods.  I miss the good west aussie beers I used to consume regularly before moving to London.  Had a few "crownies" a few weeks back.  Also drink Fosters a bit (it doesn't taste anything like the aussie brew - it's drinkable).  Jacks and coke later in the night.  The good thing about the cans of beer here compared to oz is they are generally 440mL instead of 375mL so I don't have to go to the fridge as often  :cheers:

Try it out -- it's the best domestic (American) around.   :cheers:

I like Sam Adams, but calling it the "best" domestic is a bit of a stretch.  Sierra Nevada, RedHook, Deschutes Brewery, Pyramid Brewery, Elysian Brewing, Hales Ales....all fine tasty beverages that I would choose any day over a Sam Adams.

MMMMM.....Beer!!!!!!

You got something against "or something" or something?

No, I am not a commie, Just never liked the stuff and I had a bad beer experience (1991). I had the band over while my mom was gone. We were jamming in the garage. There was a fridge out there. There was beer in the fridge. There were several late teens playing heavy metal. It all seemed to appropriate. When my mom got home, she proceeded to make some chicken (pan fried with pam...no flavor except that sort of rubber flavor you get when you microwave chicken for too long). On the side there were stewed tomatoes and some spagetti (no sauce). I washed it down with milk. This was a very bad combination on top of lots of jumping around, beer, and rubber chicken. Still think of it when I smell beer.

The contemplation of how does a toilet get so cold. Well...whatever...at least the toilet is cold.

When I was four, I came into the house and saw a bottle sitting on the table that very closely resembled a pepsi bottle. I believe I thought it was going to be water.I took a swig, and then spit it out all over the place. Yep, beer. Because of that one memory, I have never been able to get past the initial smell of beer. Not one drink whatsoever my whole life other than that one when I was 4.

As to my super chocolate shake, would it be less girly if I called it the "manliest manly chocolate shake of all time"?  ;D

Choco shakes ARE manly! No smirks here, Man.
About 6 years ago, I had a shake for breakfast every morning. I told myself... other people drink mochas (no, I do not like coffee either) so I shold be able to drink shakes. Well that did not last too long until I noticed some expansion. Had to stop. MmmmmmmChocolate.

Id rather drink my own urine than beer :P
Hows that goin for ya?  ;)

Yup, did the LIT thing too. There is a guy we used to call Drew Caree that worked at Benehana type place. He made the best LIT. The flavor seemed to accompany the food so well. Just turns out that I was just buzzed.

Actually I now like hot Saki when doing the Benehana thing now. Saki is yummy.

Dry gin up to the little pokemon turtle thing's hand on my jelly jar tumbler, and dry vermouth up to the big pokemon turtle thing's neck...

...or wheat beer if I have guests, sometimes I brew my own.

If I am playing FPShooters I sometimes go the other way and get really jacked up on Yerba Mate or any othe caffeinated drink...
