That would be a common occurrence Claude.
I know of one person in particular, who, if you mention the word Drambui in his presence, gags.
Even reading the word makes him green.

Yeuch!!

Chivas Regal is about the only blended whisky i will drink, Irish whiskey is nice, but its very "bland" i find, although certainly smooth, and as for Ballantines, i wouldnt use that for cleaning my toilet!

i have several whisky's that i am sipping at present (not at the same time!)

Glenmorangie 12YO in Madiera Wood finish, very nice and smooth, the madiera wood gives it an almost sweet quality

Glenfiddich 18YO, while Glenfiddich is the cheapest of the good malts, the 18YO is much smoother on the palate.

Laphroig , lovely whisky, strongest tasting of all the Islay malts, very nice after cheese and crackers.

Balvenie , Lovely almost sweet whisky, yum!

Jack Daniels for me, on ice or with Coke or pre-mixed, although I usually only have the pre-mixed version when I'm away camping....something about ice cold cans out of the esky that simply cannot be beaten.

As for beers, I'm a big fan of James Boags Premium Lager and Cascade Premium Lager, gotta love that pure Tasmanian water.

Rum & Bourbon usually in the evenings.

Then there's the home brew during the heat of the day.

Cheers

The person who doesn't like Drambui has been given a link to this thread.
So expect a reaction some time today.
Get ready to clean your monitor.

I did some scientific testing last night and am subsequently not at work today.. :S I may have pushed the envelope..

Big tequila/mezcal drinker. normally Petrone or Jose Curevo - Por mi familia..

Like my Bourbon, provided its a really nice bourbon served neat.. Jack daniels single barrel is the way to go..

That said, after last night, I'm never drinking again... 4pts of beer, followed by a half glass of tequila straight up, chased down by 2 bottles of Shiraz.... Followed by re-experiencing all those drinks in reverse order quite a few times during the night...

Still haven't quite managed to eat anything today...

I had a similar epiphany when I was a chef in Airlie Beach a normal Thursday night at what was then the village resort was first the Beer Stein sculling comp 4 rounds and I was the anchor so I sometimes had to make up time and then the prize was a bucket of Rum and Coke then started the arm wrestling comp I most of the time I won that to and guess what the prize was for that second prize was champs called tiny bubbles basically tasted like vinegar with a kick. After a few years of that I decided that I would drastically decrease my intake although I am partial to Galway Pipe Port.

I don't drink spirits at all. The occasional beer or red here.

erick (Eric) · #33 07-12-2009, 01:50 PM

No Christmas spirit for me, just give me a cold beer..

Fossil (Jonathan) · #37 07-12-2009, 03:02 PM

Ahhhhh... Coopers Vintage for me :-)

Did you hear about the alcoholic who went to the doctor?
The doctor sat him down and said "I want to show you something."
He then got two glasses and put water in one and whiskey in the other, then put an earth worm into each glass. After a few minutes the worm in the water was swimming around quite happily and the one in the whiskey was dead and all shrivelled up.
The doctor said "See that? What does that tell you?"
The alcoholic studied both glasses carefully and then said ...
"If you drink whiskey, you won't have worms!"

Yes, my son wrote himself off with Bourbon on his 18th, and was very sick. Ever since he says he cannot face it with feeling ill immediately.
He drinks light beer now. I thought that was not a bad way to find out, given he had us around.

I got spiked with vodka at my 21st by 2 mates (who were both police at the time). Never been fond of it since, although I am fond of everything else in a bottle

I voted other, I think a good soft white wine is lovely on occasion.
