What booze do you like that the Lounge Booze Snobs would crucify you for if they knew?

[LostInAnomie]

I like Bud Light and Dark Eyes Vodka. Fire away, elitists!

[RiffRandell]

1. I like Bud Lite and cheap [ vodka for mixing)

C K Mondavi (the big jug) for wine.

Good music and company!

[LynzM]

2. Franzia White Grenache...

You know, in a box and all... :crazy:

[petronius]

5. I like the box wines too, but I usually go for a red

It's not very often, but sometimes it's just really fun(ny) to have a box of wine in the fridge...

[helderheid]

27. me too me too

[zingaro]

11. holy cow I would have sworn I was the only one.

:hi:

[LynzM]

13. Nope!

Hi zingaro! :hi:

[Droopy]

3. I like Icehouse

You can't go wrong for $12 a 30 pack. It's strong, too, for beer. 5.5% alcohol.

[Chan790]

4. I love cheap gin.

All cheap gin.

Also, I tend to spike-up people's drinks with grain or/and 151 when they're drinking my liquor to reduce their consumption of good stuff.

Edit: Necessary to note that I tell them up front if they don't want their drinks watered-up with crystal clear to bring a bottle to replace what they'll consume.

[crim son]

6. I'll drink ANY vodka. I won't necessarily love it, but I'll drink it and be happy.

I'm a bit more particular about my wine, but not much.

[BarenakedLady]

26. You speaketh my language

:toast:

[crim son]

28. And to you, dearest lady:

:toast:

[Redneck Socialist]

7. Miller Genuine Draft is a good beer...

<ducks, runs and hides...>


:hide:

[grateful581]

8. Pabst!

I love my PBR!
Best cheep beer

:toast:

[Omphaloskepsis]

36. Amen...

PBR is awesome.

[deucemagnet]

37. I have to disagree with you there.

The best cheap beer is Old Vienna (OV), but you have to live in Canada or near the border to get it.

[fizzgig]

52. oh gods yes

i get so much shit for drinking it, but it's good and cheap.

[Initech]

56. I love me some PBR!

That's really all my buddies and I drink when I hang out in San Diego. We figure - it's got the same ingredients as Coors, Bud, etc, and a 24 pack is so much cheaper than a 30 of Coors it's not even slightly funny.

[JerseyPride]

98. Long live PBR!

:toast:

[Miss_Strawberry]

9. MD 20/20

I love this shit. I usually get one bottle and two cans of sparks....then I get belligerent.

[JackBeck]

33. Now that I know you don't care which gin they poor.

This comes as no surprise.

:pals:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

50. Yeah, Miss Strawberry has such a discerning palate.

:rofl:

[Miss_Strawberry]

53. When it comes to gin and tequila

anything goes....however, I will absolutely NOT drink vodka or whiskey....under any circumstances

[JackBeck]

65. I can't drink gin.

The last time I did, I ended up on stage at a club and stripped naked by a drag queen and forced to dance with another naked guy.

[Miss_Strawberry]

66. So?

That sounds awesome!

[JackBeck]

79. It was at a time when I was extremely shy.

So I felt like the gin was in control over my inhibitions, not me. I didn't go back to the club for months. But I finally got over it.

I also like vodka more because it doesn't have a scent. Years of bartending have also turned me off of Southern Comfort. Both have a very distinct odor. Occupational hazard, I guess.

[LostinVA]

90. I bet you just HATED that

[JackBeck]

93. I plan on recreating it at your reception.

Who should be the lucky guy?

[LostinVA]

94. Hmmm..... maybe my semi-Freeper BIL

He isn't bad looking at all. And, he DOES think Johnny Depp is hot.

Hmmmm.....

[Miss_Strawberry]

97. I nominate Evan

:loveya:

[JackBeck]

99. Evan's your bf right?

I'm picky, so he better be cute.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

100. Evan is a cutie.

He looks like a crazed Viking.

[Miss_Strawberry]

101. He's not handsome...he's rugged

"Handsome means he looks at himself in the mirror all day....rugged means you look at him!" - The Simpsons

My Welsh Viking <3

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

105. He should wear a kilt to the wedding!

LostinVA's nephew (the one doing the guestbook) and sniffa are.

[Miss_Strawberry]

107. This may be my only chance

to see him in a suit until our wedding....I don't want to pass that up!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

108. A kilt is sexier than a suit.

He can even go regimental, if he promises to behave.

[JackBeck]

109. Do I have to promise to behave?

I wanna know the proper parameters of this blessed event so I don't soil your happy day.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

110. The general rules of decorum for our wedding is...

If you're wearing a kilt and going regimental, don't flash the minors.

[Miss_Strawberry]

113. minors...

how many minors do you know?


I'm wearing this in pink:


Does that fly with the bridezillas?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

114. Here's the list of minors as far as I know...

Dani's kids: Jake (7), Olivia (5) and Jude (2)
Toni's kid: Whathisname (7)
MrsG's kid: 17
Midlo's kid: 16
LostinVA's niece and nephew: 15 and 17
Gaybro 14

[Miss_Strawberry]

115. What about my dress?

yay or nay?!

My viking will behave. I will behave. Good behavior all around.
I may go regimental under my dress as well.
pfft.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

116. Definitely a yay on the dress.

You may also go regimental under the dress. I trust you.

[Miss_Strawberry]

117. I'll flash you

if you're lucky.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

118. It wouldn't be the first time.

Perv.

[LostinVA]

89. OH.MY.GOD.

BANNED FROM THE WEDDING PARTY!!!

[Danger Mouse]

10. Thunderbird

What's the word? Thunderbird
What's the jive? Bird's alive
How's it sold? Good and cold
What's the price? Thirty twice

:D

Actually, that shit be nasty. Ugh. One sip was enough to trigger my gag reflex.
I don't drink bad booze.

[av8rdave]

17. for cheap wines, you haven't lived until you've tried

Night Train Express ("serve very cold")

[Danger Mouse]

71. I've heard that it is very appropriately named.

As it will knock you flat.
I really want to try Cisqo, which is known as 'liquid crack' :)

[Tigress DEM]

103. Worst purge ever. 17 heaves. 15 dry. Never again.

Young, dumb, stupid. I was the chaperone & the guy in the equation was trying to eliminate me by getting me drunk.

Got me drunk. Then my friend left with me to "take care" of me.

Saltines & tea got the world to stop spinning.

Still. Guess it's the biggest reason I'm not big on drinking past a buzz.

[Tigress DEM]

104. Dupe -- Change for question. Name of the beer known as Moose Piss?

Think it might be a Canadian lager.

[EstimatedProphet]

12. Corn whiskey

[kwassa]

45. only the homemade stuff, right?

Varies highly in quality.

[EstimatedProphet]

49. Nope, the commercial stuff that varies in quality

For example:



Me likey likey yumyum!



Feh. It'll do the job. Not that bad really.



Ug.

[kwassa]

91. the only kind I get comes in tupperware or re-used glass bottles

Uncle Tommy brings it up from Alabama.

[EstimatedProphet]

95. Well, I'll happily drink that too!

So long as it's the drinkin whiskey and not the sellin whiskey

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. It's not so much what I like...

it's the fact that I think Scotch tastes like oven cleaner.

[Tigress DEM]

106. Take your word on it.

:toast:

[Wapsie B]

15. Miller Beer and Cheap Tequila

or Cheap Whiskey

[Arkansas Granny]

59. OMG! That sounds like a recipe for disaster!

[Wapsie B]

60. Yes it can be.

But I rarely have both of them together. It's been almost since college that I had the Tequila shots and Miller chasers. It's deadly though on an empty tummy.

[Arkansas Granny]

63. Oh, never drink tequila shots on an empty stomach, or after

you have eaten ice cream (trust me on this one).

[Wapsie B]

64. But the beer cools the burn of the tequila down

;-) I've never lost my lunch over booze, no matter what I had or how much.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Just thought I'd hang out here and mentally crucify people...

:beer:

[Twillig]

18. Foster's Lager. The official beer of F1!

(AND NOT NASCAR, YOU SNOBS!)

IMPORTED FROM CANADA!

IN A BIG-ASS CAN!

IT'LL GET YOU DRUNK AND POSTING IN ALL CAPS!

[HEyHEY]

21. More like "The official beer of LAME"

:P

[mike_c]

19. I'm sorry, but life is WAY too short to drink cheap rot gut booze...

...if you can afford not to. And there are some pretty good inexpensive choices that make it totally unnecessary to drink the nasty stuff.

Yep-- I'm a booze snob. A relatively cheap booze snob, but there you have it.

[Kali]

20. ??? see my HOMEGROWN post

[ellisonz]

22. Olde English.

Fuck yeah.

[LostInAnomie]

23. Damn, that brings back memories.

When I was in high school, my friends and I used to get hammered off 40's of OE every weekend. For $2.50 (at the time) a 40 you couldn't go wrong.

[ellisonz]

61. My college had "40's night" every Wednesday...

Until community police cracked down 2 years ago, but damn that was fun while it lasted, a crowd of 50 white kids all drinkin' Olde E, what fun. Kinda.

:-)

[BarenakedLady]

24. Smirnoff vodka

and really really cold Coors Light.

:shrug:

[Colobo]

25. Does coffee count? :)

[LostInAnomie]

29. Not unless you're going to ferment it...

... and then distill it into something alcoholic.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried that? Hmmmmm....

[Chan790]

74. Coffee has an insufficient sugar content...

you can ferment it until the cows come home, it won't make alcohol. It'll just grow mold and smell really terrible.

[LostInAnomie]

75. BOOOO!!! Way to poo poo a dream!

I won't rest until I churn out some coffee liquor! :beer:

[KeepItReal]

30. Charles Shaw Merlot from Trader Joes...A.K.A. "Two Buck Chuck"!

It ain't exactly $1.99 any more, but it still is a bargain.

[grannylib]

31. I'll drink cheap vodka and cheap coffee liqueur and cheap wine

I'm not proud.

[Initech]

32. I will seriously drink just about anything.

Only things I tend to stay away from are flavored vodkas, malt beverages like Smirnoff Ice, and chick drinks like Hypnotiq.

[sammythecat]

34. Good ol' Taylor Port wine.

$5 a bottle. 8 bucks for a half gallon.

Couple small glasses knocks me the fuck out.





halfway through the second right now.

[TheMightyFavog]

47. Ahhhh Bad memory, Bad memory!

Drank a liter of that stuff my first semester at UWSP. Itwas the first time I ever puked from drinking.

[sammythecat]

51. Makes me queasy thinking about that

It takes me a good week to drink a liter.

It's funny how episodes like yours can leave such a long lasting impression. The first time I ever drank anything at all I was camping out with 2 friends and we were going to get drunk for the first time. 2 of us were 14 and the other 16, and none of us knew what the hell we were doing. We had two bottles of whiskey, a bottle of gin, and a car. Perfect recipe for death and destruction. We sat around and drank for about an hour and then decided to drive around (yes! drive around!) I didn't think I was feeling anything so I guzzled most of the bottle of gin on top of everything else.

Next morning I woke up in a Presbyterian cemetery a good 2 miles from home. The night was a complete and total blackout. First and only time that ever happened to me. For all I knew I could have murdered some poor family that night. I somehow stumbled the 2 miles home in as near a straight line as possible. Backyards, driveways, clotheslines,... I was desperate to get home. The next day and a half was, by way far, the sickest I've ever been in my life. For at least another 30 years gin was like Kryptonite for me. I couldn't even stand to smell it. x(

My family was pretty good about the whole thing. I never said I was drinking and they never asked. They just took care of me and chalked it up to a bad hot dog from the fair. They didn't know about the car but they knew I'd been drinking. I guess they figured I'd given my own self a far more severe lesson than they ever could.

[mykpart]

35. Boone's Farm Apple and/or Strawberry Hill.

[libnnc]

87. Whoa...flash....back....

Brevard College forest party circa 1989...

.....and then awkward, drunken, best friend/boyfriend sex in my dorm room.

Remember kids, if the RA on your floor can't:

1. See it.
2. Hear it.
3. Smell it.

IT NEVER HAPPENED!!

I can't believe I just confessed that on a message board.

:hide: :hide:

[Magrittes Pipe]

38. Old Muthafuckin' Crow.

:thumbsup:

[LostInAnomie]

39. Uncle Alan?

He's the only person I've ever known to ever drink Old Crow. He used to call it the "railroaders choice" because when he worked on the railroad back in the '70s his whole crew would get ripped during longer trips.

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. I love the wet stone on the palate.

And the sweet, sweet drunkenness.

[T_i_B]

41. DU's resident beer snob reporting for duty!

And I have my CAMRA membership card to prove it!

http://www.camra.org.uk/

I'd bore you to tears about Belgian fruit beers but instead I'd like to beat all other DU beer snobs by singing the praises of Fat Cat Honey Ale instead. if you are ever in Norwich, Ipswich or Colchester then I highly recommend checking it out.

44. Blatz ... or, Svedka Vodka

cheap and good

[guitar man]

46. Pig's Eye Pilsner

10 bucks for a 30 pack at my local liquor store. :)

[jobycom]

48. No matter how elite, some Booze Snob will crucify you for it.

Name a brand, any brand, of any price range, and someone will call you an unbelievably crass fool for falling for the marketing and advertising hype surrounding that hideous atrocity of a beverage.

[Throd]

54. Kessler with a Colt 45 chaser

[LaraMN]

I'm a cheap drunk.

Beer - Pearl, Lone Star, Keystone, Olympia, Miller High Life, PBR, Schlitz, Icehouse, etc., etc.

[momophile]

68. Zima

oh wait? do they even make this anymore?

[Kerrytravelers]

70. They sell it where I'm at. Maybe this is the left overs from the 90s.

*I love it, too!* It's like 7Up... with a kick!

[TK421]

69. A gallon jug of Carlo Rossi Rhineview

It's much better in the summer :7

[mduffy31]

72. Miller Lite and Franzia Wine

Not every drink has to require a loan.

[ChoralScholar]

73. Rebel Yell bourbon

[bigwillq]

76. Screw the Lounge snobs

I really don't care what they think of what I drink.

I usually just drink Heineken, btw.

[Lady Effingbroke]

77. Heineken's good!

If you like that style of beer, you might also like Pilsner Urquell or Grolsch.

:hi:

[bigwillq]

78. I might give those a try.

Thanks! :hi:

[OnionPatch]

80. Mudslide

I love those bottles of TGIFriday's mudslide you can get in the grocery store. Mmmm-Mmmmm. You can keep your fifty-dollar bottles of wine.

[smoogatz]

82. Isn't that what you get from drinking too much Bud Light? n/t

[liontamer]

81. I love cheap champagne

andre, asti whatever. bring it on!

[scarlet_owl]

84. Me too. My favorite is Andre Peach Passion.

The cheaper the better!

[smoogatz]

83. My father used to say "life's too short to drink cheap booze."

Turned out to be true, in his case. In fact, I'd kind of like to have that as my epitaph.

[Scarlett17]

85. Arbor Mist Sangria

Mmmmm! Tastes like Kool-aid.

[Decruiter]

86. For affordable Irish scotch whisky...

Clan Macgregor.
Bottled here in plastic after the boat ride for just $13.99 a half-gallon.
You'll sleep like a leprechaun.

[libnnc]

88. Two words---Rolling. Rock.

"From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you." 33

Sweet nectar in little green bottles...:toast:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

92. Two more words: Projectile. Vomiting.

Tasted good going down, though.

[Lost-in-FL]

96. SEAGRAMS WINE COOLERS!!! YUMMO!!!!

[Tigress DEM]

102. There are Lounge Booze Snobs?

A drink I don't tell people about much:

Frangelico over ice. Kind of reminds me of a White Russian.

Had it one Christmas as a kid in a little tiny snifter glass & couldn't get over the bottle shaped like a monk.

Haven't touched it in years. After all White Russians have a bigger kick.

[Merrick]

111. Embalming fluid

[philosophie_en_rose]

112. My favorite wine is Boone's Farm.

:)
