Grand Marnier is delicious, its an orange flavoured liqueur that is 51 percent cognac, fucking good if you drink it with cranberry juice with a squeeze of lime and lots of ice. Also Vanilla vodka + ginger ale + lime squeezed in is amazing. Apple vodka + lemonade is great. Apple sourz and cranberry juice is pretty good. Also apple martinis are real easy to make you just need apple vodka, apple sourz and apple juice and just shake them up all together and bam you got a nice tasting easy to make cocktail.

I'm a fan of Jim Beam mang# mainly though I'm into my british real ales as there are a good variety of them and they tend to be pretty relaxing compared to your average corporate lager piss juice
got drunk for the first time in over 6 months yesterday didnt feel bad at all today, but man did my head hurt yesterday, i forgot how much i hate the feeling you get afterwards i love having a couple of beers with my friends, maybe a glass or two of some heavier stuff, but i cant stand getting really drunk too often, weed is just better for me in that regard

Weed makes me feel unproductive as fuck the next day(usually depending on how baked I get). A glass or two of water before bed after a 6 pack usually cures a hangover for me.
you're saying you get a hangover after a 6 pack? dude i kill 18 racks tri-daily
Whiskey or brandy on the rocks is good any day. It'll ripen your berries..

idk i either just drink what ever vodka, straight, or random-ass mixed drinks, like thesis portal shots [img]http://www.meh.ro/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/meh.ro6816.jpg[/img] or like knight solaire drink [url]http://i.imgur.com/arW2dxm.png[/url]

Even if you avoid a hangover, you still feel shitty, usually because of what you did the night before. I'm a recovering alcoholic myself.
in the two years i was constantly partying every weekend i got two hangovers in total, and both times i had downed half a bottle of vodka i'm pretty resistant i think
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;42997255]in the two years i was constantly partying every weekend i got two hangovers in total, and both times i had downed half a bottle of vodka i'm pretty resistant i think[/QUOTE] Pretty important to the discussion, did you vomit, if you puke during the night, and then don't get a hangover, that doesn't count, cause that's what usually causes the bad hangovers is not puking, then you just take ALLL that bad shit in while you sleep and such.
one of the times i barfed pretty bad, yeah
18 in less than two weeks, first time I can legally drink. Last time I had something to drink was a few weeks ago, had three free beers at a political party and got pretty drunk because my tolerance was really low from months of not drinking. [editline]27th November 2013[/editline] I've been pretty resistant to hangovers too, and the ones I've had haven't been so bad - never any headaches or nausea. But then I've done a lot of puking too.

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;42997884]be prepared to be anally raped by nightclub prices[/QUOTE] I know holy shit why is it so expensive, oh well I don't drink much anyway
swedish taxes are [url=http://www.skatteverket.se/foretagorganisationer/skatter/punktskatter/alkoholskatt/skattesatseraktuellla.4.18e1b10334ebe8bc80003069.html]like[/url] 90% of the alcohol expenses buying it at systembolaget is a lot cheaper but still pretty expensive
How effective is the tax rate even at helping reduce the alcohol consumption of the swedish population? It seems to me that we swedes are still pretty good at pouring loads of alcohol whenever we get the time :v:
It's going to be raised even more. But we don't really have any other choice so we're gonna have to buy it anyway.
[QUOTE=MrJazzy;42998216]How effective is the tax rate even at helping reduce the alcohol consumption of the swedish population? It seems to me that we swedes are still pretty good at pouring loads of alcohol whenever we get the time :v:[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they're more concerned with discouraging alcoholism and overindulgence than they are reducing the consumption of the average person.
I wish it were more accepting to smoke marijuana instead of pressuring people into drinking instead, as I find I might be easily addicted to alcohol. Every time I drink, it's that much harder to stop drinking, though my friends may pull my booze away, I will fight for it back. Alcoholism does run in my family, so it's not that absurd for me to worry. Alas, it's much simpler to be caught with the bottle than the joint.
Its about how it makes you feel too. Because of the way alcohol depresses your nervous system, you are less capable of understanding all the aspects of a particular situation. For example, why your friends are taking your bottle. But with weed you really could care less, unless you're close to sober. Plus alcohol tolerance is kind of a mark of masculinity symbol while THC tolerance is really more of a curse

Though I can say it's nice to gloat about how you can drink this much, but you have to pay much more to reach the same level as everyone else. For instance, lastnight/this morning I drank quite a bit, but I was just on the verge of getting drunk and it wore off quite suddenly a mere half hour ago. I have not drank in quite a while. When I was drinking at least once a week, there was a time where I had drank half a 50oz bottle of whiskey just to get drunk. Even still, I can't escape myself while drunk, I still can't thrash about and enjoy myself, I'm still very much trapped as I am while sober.
Alcohol is good. I like making these, people enjoy them. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21167442/IMG_20131201_182156.jpg[/t]
I like drinking Caesar's. Vodka and clamato with a dab of worcestershire sauce and a piece of celery stuck in. [img]http://liquor.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/bloody-caesar.jpg[/img]
Wow, they really did find a way to make a Bloody Mary worse. Never got the fascination with it, especially since its a 'hair of the dog' kind of drink. Who on earth would want to drink a spicy, slightly bitter alcoholic tomato juice to settle their stomach in the morning?

ATM I am taking prednisone which doesn't allow for me to have alcohol in my blood, but god damn if I don't like a fine tasting ale. Good beer is... well, good!
[QUOTE=LSK;43042844]Well what is it? How do you make it?[/QUOTE] forgot to say "We" call it an Astropop (people I know from back in ND). 1 bottle Mike's Hard Lemonade Grenadine UV Blue vodka (Blueberry stuff) (I hear Blue Curaçao works, never tried it) Pour in the bottle of Mike's, try for as little carbonation and bubbling as you can Sink the grenadine in however works best for you Gently layer in the UV on top of it all Better the colder it is, obviously Treat as a shot, chug it down
