Jager bombs are crap - they just make me feel wired afterwards, as most caffeine based drinks do.

Give me a few sambucas any day - love that stuff.

I hate almost any shots.  Goldschlager (sp?) is the worst.  I think I might be allergic to that as both times I drank it it was back up within minutes.

Don't know how anybody could stomach that Red bull shit. Tastes like chewing gum.

What's the new thing then? Surely it must end with 'bomb' or 'blast' or 'cram'.

Agwa bomb.


Can't remember what they taste like so they mustn't be too offensive.

I hope that bitch has been cast out by all who know her. Disgusting.

Who's this Space guy?  Have we got our first troll?  He seems to be deliberately contrary just to try and start arguments.

In other news, I've not had anything to drink since Friday, which is actually relatively rare considering I'm still off work.  I'd quite like to be at Plan M's stage where I can stick 8 cans of Nice Beer X in the fridge, and actually make it last a fortnight rather than a night.  Thing is, the habitual draw is so strong, I'm pretty certain that if I bought 8 beers now I'd drink at least 5 through the day today.

I remember at times being so caught up in it that I'd drink 4 out of 6 while sitting at home relaxing.  Then the next day, I'd realise I only had 2, so would buy another 6 so that I could have 4 that night too and so on.

We have a lovely bottle of wine in the fridge that was a gift from my wife on fathers' day, so I wonder if we could have a glass each of that with dinner and just shove it away again afterwards.  We might try that tonight.

I'm sure space is not a troll. He's drunk.

50 units is a hell of a lot.

I'm going to hop in on the no drinking side of things, as in I've never done it. 

Well once I sipped my aunts Heineken and I've tried communion wine twice but that's been the sum total of alcohol in my life.
Not entirely sure why, I wasn't bothered before I was 18 and when that came around everyone else had already got a head start so I decided not to follow. There's a bit of alcoholism in the family, also had a bit of a temper as a kid that I managed to bottle. Probably a combo of everything.

Anyway Elm, I have no idea what its like to cut it out but being alcohol free is fine. Nightclubs just become despairing places of zero joy

The drinking for no reason other than it being there is what does my head in. Like Elm, I can't see a time when beer in the fridge wouldn't be in my belly. I stuck four cases of lager in the fridge at Christmas, gone by New Year. Wtf

20/20, Fruits Unlimited, Diamond White, K, Blastaway (TNT cider and Castaway), it's amazing what you'll drink growing up. We would basically drink whatever was doing the rounds, all gratefully received from the big brothers of others.

Jagers do seem to be this decade's RB and vodka, give me an Islay malt and water to sip everytime.

After collecting/drinking whisky for a good two years, I've recently moved on to brandy after purchasing a snifter warmer from Amazon.  I've started the ball rolling with a Torres 30 Jaime and a bottle of Cardenal Mendoza (the latter of which is one of the nicest liquids I've ever tasted), in addition to my existing bottle of Remy Martin Champagne Cognac, but can anyone recommend any other decent brandy/cognac that has particularly tickled your tastebuds?  I'm looking for one or two more bottles for the cabinet.

Having beer in the house is like having junk food around. If its there I'll have something, but if it's not then I'm not worried. Therefore I don't tend to have beer in, more because of not wanting to gain weight rather than drinking it all. If its there I'd have a beer with dinner, and maybe another afterwords.

On a night out I don't get too drunk these days. I like being a bit buzzed, but I don't like not being in control, or saying/doing something to regret.

Might be worth tracking down a nice Calvados (apple brandy) for a change or a bottle of this stuff - poire williams which I bought once. Was nice to drink but I didn't have the skill to break the bottle cleanly in order to facilitate safe consumption of the pear which must be lush.

God this thread is bringing back memories - another one from my cabinet that had something in the bottle - Cristallizzati Tangerine - not that strong but there was crystallisation on the fake branch in the bottle - vague memories of eating the rock candy like substance after the finishing the bottle.

Pics are hard to find - this is a miniature bottle of the stuff..
