Spite and Malice....

[ZargonX]

Here, here, to those who say beer should not be mixed with other things! I am in full agreement. If I want beer, I'll drink a beer. I'm actually quite fond of Belgian wheat ale, personally.

As for hard liquor, gin and tequila are my two drinks of choice. Nothing quite as refreshing on a hot day as a nice, cool gin and tonic with a healthy twist of lime.

You guys ignore Tha Drink: Caipirinha!
Brazilian Cachaça (a strong drink, I don´t know to what should I compare it), mixed with lemon juice and a bit of sugar, and lots of ice, tastes fantastic, even though it is pretty much simple.Although one must take care with it, once I ended up drinking more than I should without noticing, due to the ice and all. But great anyway, specially if you get someone skillfull to do it for ya.

Whoa, our "Submarines" are with tequila, not vodka, but it's exactly the same process as SirRalph described.

Now, one little detail, the tequila/beer combination is one of the most-likely-to-get-you-drunk-quick mixes I have ever had the dubious honor to try. Worse thing is that you can get drunk and never know it (you know, you're sitting there shooting up one after the other and feeling perfect, then you stand up and the whole room suddenly begins spinning).

So, I'll pass on that since I like drinking to loosen up, not get smack drunk...

Agreed! But on a sailing trip to Greece in 2000 I also discovered how refresing ouzo with ice water can be on a hot day. Lovely drink. Makes me feel very - well - Mediterranean.

One drink that I absolutely hate: ouzo ! But I didn't drink it with ice water on a hot day in Greece, so maybe I should try the original thing before judging it

I'd like only to add that the best drink is what you like the most. Even more precisely, what you like most in a certain moment or ocasion. For example, my favourite drink is the beer (unmixed ). However, on a freezing winter evening I prefer a vodka or palinka, while after a pleasent family dinner I prefer a wine or a cognac. Besides, it'd be a shame not to try the local specialties when going on vacation in a certain country/region.

Generally I prefer the softer drinks (beer, wine) because I can drink them for a long time without getting drunk. Like MZ said it, to loosen up ...

for regional stuff, I'll take a cuban Mojito any day...

On a sunny day on Crete at 35-40°C (around 100F, for the heathens ) it's a must-have aperitif. Without it, I couldn't swallow any food there.

We should all start an Apolyton Travel & Leisure Club...

(or at least the Apolyton Alcoholics Not-So-Anonymous)

[Rhothaerill]

Interesting how this thread has suddenly become a drinking club.

[vondrack]

Yeah... people FINALLY realized PtWDG is just a game... ...and that there are other enjoyable things in one's life.

[Harovan]

Without bigotry and name calling it can be a nice place indeed.

[Tiberius]

...and that there are other enjoyable things in one's life.

... and there are, that's for sure. Like ... drinking beer while playing civ or browsing Poly ?

[Master Zen]

we should play an MP one day...

... drunk!

Ah good, I see that my duty is done..... for now....

Man, this had made me thirsty - time for a beer.
