Ok, FYI, shots of Crown Royal Whiskey are a bad idea.

Just because it says "De Luxe" on the label, well, that is no reason to go acting crazy.

That's some friendly advice from me to you.

1. I've gotten severely fucked up on Crown Royal before.

Drinking striaght shots of that stuff = bad.

[jane_pippin]

2. Where was your post 20 minutes ago, and why wasn't it blaring in my head

when I was deciding that such a thing would be a good idea?

:D

[Initech]

3. Did I say it was a bad idea?

:toast:

[jane_pippin]

4. Fair point.

Let the toasting, continue! :toast:

I was just alarmed that I had only one shot and already, pretty well close to being in the bag, so to speak.

5. It's a bad idea because it's a waste of good whiskey

[jane_pippin]

6. In what way is drinking the whiskey a waste of it?

Do you mean that in the sense that say, Milwaukee's Best Light beer is a waste of beer because it is terrible beer?

[DS1]

9. If you want to down whiskey as fast as you can

Buy Jim Beam, or Jack Daniels. That's some shit whiskey.

If you're buying Crown Royal for shots, you're wasting your money, because you'll never taste it.

[jane_pippin]

10. No, I'm not spending money on that!

Come on now! I'm in Milwaukee. I'm a pro at drinking.

Someone brought it to an afterbar as a gift and it's all we have now. I'm just hoping to catch a buzz before Bill Maher comes on.

7. Shot drinking is an art.

Timing is everything.

Shots work okay, if you spread them out. Beer with about 2 or 3 shots of whiskey an hour usually works for me.

But after a few hours you lose track, so my theory doesn't really hold up.x(

[Initech]

13. Hell yes! Although my personal shot of choice is tequila.

[Blue-Jay]

8. HA!

Half of us are reading this thread, shaking our heads, and thinking "amateurs".

[jane_pippin]

11. Meaning...?

[Blue-Jay]

14. That question actually reinforces my previous statement.

Just because you're allowed to drink, doesn't mean you're any good at it.

[jane_pippin]

15. Ha! Give me a break...

Because I had my first shot of Crown Royal and it was underwhelming does not mean it is the first shot or drink I've ever had, nor does it mean I'm not "good at it."

Let me assure you, I've been around this alcohol soaked block more than once, my friend, and I'm sure there are at least a few more rounds to go. I know what I'm doing and I know how to do it. (And how not to do it, by the way. You won't catch me prancing around the main drag, drunk on girly drinks and decked out in neon glowing necklaces shouting "WOO" any time soon, for instance).

I don't know how you define "good" or "professional" in your neck of the woods, (which is, oddly enough, why I asked you the question in the first place, and thanks for your useful answer), but around here I've held my own with the best of them and I intend to keep it that way.

Here's another question: Why you gotta bring bad juju into a lighthearted thread? I'd stick around to find out, but I have to meet some friends so I can go be bad at drinking.

In all seriousness, no hard feelings. Have a good night. :hi:

[jane_pippin]

12. Ok folks...I'm off to watch my Tee Vee program.

I'll check back to see how you've mocked me afterwards.

:D

16. shots? brave, brave woman...

I'm taking my Canadian Club Whisky with diet ginger ale and club soda. I looked it up in my bartender's bible and it's called a "Presbyterian"

blended whiskey
ginger ale
club soda
