Poor Man's Martini

[OneManArmy]

Vodka is hte nastiest stuff on earth. I stick to gin or rum, or mostly beer,with the occasional jager.

I like Twisted. Superbowl Sunday, that's all there was were I was watching the Superbowl and I had 10 of them. I was feeling good by the end of the night. Unlike OMA, I prefer vodka to anything else.

Tequillas my favorite but most people I know dont drink it....

[Ivan]

I've only had two shot of some type of Tequila in my life. I just did the straight shot no lemon and salt or what ever it is you do with Tequila. I didn't really care for it much. It must not have been very strong because I didn't feel much afterwards, but my friend sure did. We were working on his truck and he could barley use a ratchet.

When I start drinking I have a tendency to drink way too much and somehow I always remember where an ATM is and my PIN... *sigh*

Sadly my favorite drink is also expensive and I can only take two a night... Redbull and vodka baby! I pretty much drink anything thought.

Tonight it's only beer thought, my girlfriend is having her birthday party and she's probly going to be wasted.

You all know my prefered

[Hamma]

I usually prefer beer - but I will go with various mixed drinks when at the bar. Long Island Iced Teas, Margarita's and Gin + Tonic to name a few.

Favorite beer: A pint of Yeunglieng in a glass. I like darker lagers. I also enjoy a loaded Corona or just Corona with a lime.

Favorite malt liquor: Mikes Hard Lemonade. Mmmm. Lemony. Smirnoff and Bicardi are ok... they just feel like "candy" drinks to me. If I'm going to drink a drink that is sweet, it better have some kick to it.

Favorite mixed drink: depends on the mood. When I'm feelin relaxed, I'll have a Cosmopolitan Martini, rum and coke, margaritas, sex on the beach, or whatever mixed drink I see someone else drinking. When I'm feelin like getting hammered, I'll do Jaeger bombs, car bombs, (or whatever someone's buying, I usually do mixed shots with friends) or straight shots, Vodka, Goldshlager, Rum, Tequilla, pretty much anything. One of my favorite end-the-night drinks is an Irish Creme on the rocks (Bailey's works ok, though I prefer Brogans, which most bars don't carry.)

My friend is trying to sell me a bottle of Absinth for use on Saint Patty's day... I've hever had it before and I'm wondering if I should go for it. She's asking $40 for a fair sized bottle.

[OneManArmy]

if its the real deal. fuck yes. but dont go flashing it around. that shit will get you arrested.

[Electrofreak]

Yeah, the other day in work she asked my manager Sherry (who actually is a regular at the bar and buys me drinks on Thursday nights) if she wanted to buy the bottle of Absinth. Sherry looked around to see if anyone had heard her ask and kinda avoided the subject. No doubt she would, but she sure as heck can't comment on it at work. I had to pull my friend Tricia aside and explain that it's not LEGAL here in the US, she didn't even know, some dude just GAVE her the bottle.

What the hell is in it? Paint thinner?

No it won't. I get it often. Though you can't sell it in bars, and technically can't import it, but you can have a certain amount.

[Evilmp]

Oh my god I want to drink that so badly! I will totally buy some if anybody can tell me where to get it as well as send them a tip in the mail..jesus, it's like my dream

[Ivan]

Ah Absinthe, the green fairy.



I'd like to try it sometime. I heard it can be very bitter.
