Guys Who Drink ***** Drinks

[Provost Harrison]

Stew's insecurity is screaming out in threads like this. Usually he tries to make me his little punching bag, demonstrating how he can get a job that almost pays as much as he does just for a summer job just to try and boost his security level at the expense of mine. Now this, trying to convince himself that he is a 'real man' because he makes himself drink 'real man's drinks'. The fact is he is an insecure little boy who is just trying to cover up his own uncertainties by ridiculing others. The psychology is quite interesting, I must say...

For me, well I like my beer, but there is nothing wrong with a good cocktail...last time I was in Reading I had a Pimms and lemonade at the pub. So what?

Oh, Laz, You west country types, very scary

[Provost Harrison]

Well I wouldn't mind, but the post Lancer got banned for was just a joke if you read it carefully...I think the mods here should cut him some slack - they behave like a pack of hungry wolves...

[Dauphin]

I drink whatever is most suited to my stomach capacity.

Start off with maybe a lager - Heinekin, Stella or somesuch. Once they get to gassy I'll move onto something smoother, say Spitfire or a Worthingtons. Once volume becomes too much I'll move onto bottles of Smirnoff Ice or similar concoctions. Whilst on that subjecy, I really miss Smirnoff Mules. If more drinks are needed I move onto shots and coke.

What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

[Provost Harrison]

I meant Lancer, not you...I'd just posted something about you so I still had your name stuck in my brain...

[Zylka]

Yes, yes! He's too fancy a lad to be banned, or get a girl pregnant outside of marriage HEAVENS FORBID

[The Mad Monk]

Zylka, the day I develop a craving for alcohol is the day I have myself committed . I cannot slug a bottle of whiskey back like a cola (hell, I can't even do that with cola -- nasty stuff), nor do I want to.

[Worthingtons]

Each to thier own I suppose, but some people do like Beer and/or lager Zylka - I drink almost exclusively Beer or 'english' (ie not too sweet like European) lager - whether in a pub with friends or at home on my own - clearly there is no other motive in the selection other than to have a drink i enjoy.

Only occasionally will i drink some Red wine with a meal, or some dodgy cocktail when i've already drunk far too much and cant stomach another beer!!

[Worthingtons]

Well I disagree with the ban..

So do a few people, Bodd's is what you'd call a Marked man, he says the word Frog (despite Spiffor using Rosbif and no-one giving a stuff) and it's a few days off

Not much you can do it about tho, unless you want a few days off also

The traditional approach to brewing scrumpy follows. It was considered necessary to have meat in the vats to add flavour, colour and body as it decomposes.

The true traditionalists would solve this requirement with pest control. Any rats killed in the brewery would simply be lobbed in one of the vats containing the crushed apple slurry. The modern approach to this is to chuck a few raw pork chops in.

There was a famous output of scrumpy from the Oakhill works that was considered to be the greatest brew of scrumpy ever. Find one of the old Mendip geezers and they'll still rave about it. When they reached the bottom of the vat they found the skeleton of the brewery cat which had vanished a few months earlier.

This is all true. Cheers!

From the stories I heard growing up down in that part of the UK - it sounds factual.

Hard to believe maybe, but truth often is.

Ah well, at least that cat died happy.

Sometimes I sip brandy straight, sometimes I drink wine - anyone tried the botrytis wine? Really, really nice when chilled. Other times I drink beer or cocktail. Maybe port or sherry. Even scotch on rocks. I admit I have never drunk volka straight.

Red wine with a dash of cinnamon and some brown sugar, warm for a couple of minutes in a microwave. Great stuff for the winter.

Well, when I'm in a pub I drink Guinness, Kilkenny and a nice Jameson chaser, no ice. When hanging out with Russian people, I smirk at their Sprite and drink the bloody cheap vodka from the bottle. I don't particularly like vodka, expensive vodkas taste like medicine, cheap vodkas a little better, at least they've got a taste. Anyway, I don't like mixing my alcohol.
Although frankly, the best thing I ever drank was a sip of Drambuie liquor a nice lassie gave me. I'm too poor to buy it for myself, considering the amount, although I think that once I have a job I'll award meself a nice bottle of Drambuie liquor...

Anyway, day before yesterday somebody gave me to try a swig of some very cheap blended Scotch and I liked it. I probably have no taste.

BTW, I nurse my Guinness for half an hour because I don't have money to buy a pint every five minutes. Same thing with the whiskey: I sip to savour the taste, rolling it in the mouth for a few seconds before swallowing. Sigh.
I do toss off the vodka. Double or triple shots, either ordinary kitchen glass or from the bottle
Only got drunk twice in my life too. Second time it wasn't so bad considering that I dragged a totally pissed friend quite a distance to let him sleep at my place cause he didn't have money to get home. No real hangover either. :P

Oh, and basically I agree with Bodds, although I prefer the lassies to drink proper too or not drink at all... Only that they should be moderate... I still remember watching over a lass for four hours on a street bench at night after she drank half a bottle of brandy. Damn fine brandy too. I tried to deter her but she didn't listen and the booze wasn't mine so I couldn't just take it... Or finish it. Bah.

[Provost Harrison]

You toss off the vodka?

It is fine to drink cocktails, but just be careful about the name of the cocktail and the sex of the bartender. If you are male and the bartender is male, there is nothing worse than having to ask for sex on the beach, long deep screw or a blowjob. If it is a female bartender it is a plus, you can use it to flirt a bit
