Title: If Alcohol Labels Were More Honest...

They'd probably look more like this:
(http://i40.tinypic.com/28s6dqr.jpg) espeicially if you've had a very bad day/week/month
(http://i39.tinypic.com/sp8xle.jpg) I think the bottle says it all
(http://i41.tinypic.com/28bz215.jpg) Only you would get the 20 pack of cans of $6.99 and then recycle so that it could fund more beer
(http://i41.tinypic.com/axbn03.jpg) There is a bar near my old house that sells this by the can. I think it was $0.99 each. At bar mark up prices you can imagine how incredibly cheap this beer must really be.
(http://i44.tinypic.com/2cwpk68.jpg) especially when you mix it with red-bull... hyper drunks =/= gpod times everytime, or even most times :smh:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/10rtjzo.jpg) Nobody really drinks beer just for the taste. If its come to this, I think you know what time it is.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/3xyra.jpg) Why? Thats a good question. My only guess would be that it burned you so bad that you feel the need to share it with others... or too much exposure to this will probably end up killing you?
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2d8lxmq.jpg) It can't really be that bad can it? Is it really Mexican water in a can?

Ugh, I can't stand Jack Daniels, the mere scent of it makes me want to puke.
The beer one is very true though.

If you laid off the Smirnoff, you'd be fine. I had half a bottle of Southern Comfort last night (hypothetically), and I'm just fine. Save for the fact that I was still a bit drunk (hypothetically) at 10 this morning and didn't get up until just now.

i'm good! i woke up surprisingly early. I only ate so much this morning because i had one freakin slice of pizza yesterday before all the drinking. Even though i didn't over do it (since i knew i'd be driving) the fact i was drinking on an empty stomach as well as switching from bacardi to smirnoff (and this one disgustingly cheap vodka in the middle..), i just felt like i'd end up feeling a little sick. I ended up feeling sick from eating so much so fast, then going right to bed.
Now i'm up and feeling great, i had a blast last night, met some cool new people and got into a mini adventure trying to drive this girl to the bronx, somehow ending up in new jersey, then in manhattan cuz she decided not to go home but to her friends house (probably a booty call). Now if only i could get in touch with my girlfriend and make sure she's okay....

I once saw a billboard (in San Francisco I think) the said Southern Comfort - Liquid Panty Remover I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it, but I wish I had taken a picture. driving past it was so quick though.
nickmitch: It's 10:40am here and I'm still drunk too (not hypothetically). I can feel a headache trying to sneak up on me, and he thinks I don't know he's lurking in the shadows. But I can feel him coming. I'm so glad FF spell checks as I type :)
Easycure: I went to my boys house warming party/other girls going away party last night. My other friend brought this girl with him. She was so fuckin beautiful I thought she was only like 23 maybe 24. She told me she was 31 0.0 ... I played the BULLSHIT card, and she produced her I.D. (haha I know her address... If only I could remember any of it. a phone number woulda been better though). I was in shock she looked years younger than all the other women there. Then she tried to out drink me... long story short, she passed out on the couch (she was kinda dating my other friend so I had no move to make) & I drove home(not my house but I might as well live here)

BnM:
pre-post edit: i was going to write a long story here but i realized it wasn't that interesting. Basically it boiled down to me getting her (the girl i gave the ride to) drunk (at her request!) and finding out later that she was 17! To make things worse after that i found out the other girls still left at the party (besides my gf and my friends gf) were also underage (and kinda hot...sigh) and i've been mixing drinks for them all night, and had a few moments where the few of them got a little fresh with me when my gf wasn't lookin. Hell even my friends gf and i (only my second time meeting her mind you) had a moment that started off with her opening up to me about how she's thinking about leaving him, then getting a little too comfortable next to me on the couch...
blah what a night
Title: Re: If Alcohol Labels Were More Honest...
Post by: Stogi on May 03, 2009, 03:00:20 PM
Those labels are great.
BnM: I remember meeting a 27 year old that i thought was 19. And she was pretty hot, Tom.
Anyway, last night was kinda awesome but kinda fucked up. First off, it started out great because I met a very attractive bisexual chick. Long story short, we were into each other and she's totally down to have a threesome if she approves of the chick I bring. Awesome. I pulled the number, gave her a kiss good bye, and dipped out to a hookah bar to meet my friend....
Now my friend was chilling with two sophomore girls and he wanted me to come by and entertain one of them. This is were it gets kinda fucked up. I go there and meet them and they are pretty cute. I'm teasing, complimenting, and empathizing with them. You know...the normal approach. Well it turns out that they like me more than they like my guy and for some reason, they felt comfortable enough with me to tell me that. So it became real awkward as one girl just talked **** about my friend, like "he's been chasing me for a while, but he doesn't understand I'm not interested in him. I really like your shirt by the way." I replied by talking up my friend and letting her know that he's generally the man. She wasn't having it, so I decide I'm just going to leave. I first whisper to my dude what's going on and tell him how awkward this is and that I'm leaving. I then turn to the two girls and before I said anything they were like "Don't leave!" I told them I had prior obligations and to excuse me. They both got up for hugs. I hug one of the girls, and then as I go to hug the other girl (the girl my friend likes) she sneaks in a peck on the lips. I look at my friend and he is pissed (not at me though). As we hugged, she whispered "find me on facebook, ok?" I just smiled, finished the hug and left.
Got to the crib around 2, called my girl over and we rolled up a blunt. Weird night.

lol, the second one could also be labeled "i'm a bum!"
jack daniels is good stuff
if you chug boones it'll get you sauced, unfortunately you might also feel light headed
i usually only drink beer when im dunk, or if i live with roomates and were buying it every day. If i just go a couple of days the flavor gets gross, if i drink it more regularly its not a bother. I haven't been a regular drink for about 2 years. A good cheap beer Papst Blue Ribbon.

Nice. But I'd say a 1.75 Liter of Svedka Vodka is the best $20 you can spend. Goes down smooth with no ill effects the morning after.
Title: Re: If Alcohol Labels Were More Honest...
Post by: Stogi on May 04, 2009, 05:21:46 PM
Svedka.....maybe if you like vodka, but I usually buy that for the bitches.
And you only get a hang over with whiskey if your mixing it. On the rocks is perfect.

If I can't drink it on the rocks, then I don't drink it. I hate mixing liquor, especially with sweet sugary stuff. Thats just asking for a headache and a hangover.

Psh. Vodka tonic with a twist of lime. If your drink needs to burn to prove you're a man you're doing something wrong.
Proving you're a man has nothing to do with it. I find that I don't over drink when I drink it straight. Unlike most people, I don't go out to drink or to get hammered; I go out to socialize. And when I reach the peak where I can socialize and articulate the best, having straight liquor in a glass to sip on plateaus that peak. In other words, it helps me catch a buzz and coast.
That said, I do like the occasional gin and tonic as well as a martini.
Nobody drinks cheap beer just for the taste. Some of the more expensive stuff is actually pretty good.
QFT. There are definitely some beers that I would enjoy if they had no alchohol in them. One of them is Fat Tire and it just rolled into my state this last month (though I've had it way before).
Nobody drinks cheap beer for the taste(they do it because they're broke). Some of the more expensive stuff is actually pretty good.
fixed. And the expensive stuff still gives you a good buzz. Show me a high quality O'Douls & then you have a point.
The expensive stuff gives you a really good buzz. I'd rather have 6 Sierra Nevada's than 12 bud lights any day, and I'll have a better buzz too.

I like to mix my drinks, but not with anything too sweet. The only time I'll do that is if the vodka is incredibly cheap. But I usually do a Jack and Coke, but SoCo works great there, too. They're also both great with tea. I took some Lipton Blackberry flavored black tea with the SoCo and some lemon propel. I felt great the next day.

Fat tire is a good beer & there are other beers that i do enjoy like a tall Pyramid Hefenwiezen. But trust me, if they started selling them in 2 Liter bottles for $5.99 w/ no alcohol you wouldn't be buying them.

Oh i see. Its the opposite for me, because I'd rather have some mixed drink that no ones ever heard of (conversation starter) and sip on that because :
a. depending on the type of mixed drink I'm having, its MUCH cheaper to have the ONE mixed drink to get/start the buzz than it is to have several straight drinks.*
b. I'd rather spend my money on something I'd enjoy; ie I'm secure enough with my sexuality to order up a "fruity" drink (as one would say it in the derogatory sense) and not something that someone else would order to look tough, because i don't need my throat to be on fire when I'm out trying to have fun.
c. did i mention its more social? girls flock to a crazy looking drink and just HAVE to ask whats in it, and eventually taste it. When they say it doesn't even taste alcoholic, you've got yourself a new friend for the night :)
I hate mixing liquor, especially with sweet sugary stuff. That's just asking for a headache and a hangover.
probably because you're having too much of it? I know I've mentioned this before on the forums but here it goes again:
a sweet sugary drink will get you drunk quicker than drinking something straight, because of the sugar. according to my teachers in the bartending course i took, drinking from a straw seems to get it done EVEN quicker but i don't like straws so i can't say. Anyway, unless your local bartenders are ripping you off, you get the same amount of alcohol in a mixed drink as you do if you ask for it straight so whatever the balance is, you're not diluting the effects of the alcohol just the flavor.
As someone who just recently turned 21 who has plans to go out Friday night I feel like I should be taking notes on this thread.
My advice is to start with straight shots and then pop bottles.

I don't drink soda (except on rare occasions) & I don't eat sweets (also except on rare occasions). I prefer anything I drink (courvosier is my drink of choice) to be on the rocks. & the thing about liquor and ice, is that it melts it pretty quickly and that melted ice takes the bite off (or the burn).
Insanolord: 1 Rule to remember Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, in the clear. But thats only if you are a beginning drinker. There is no need to take your questions to PM, you can ask them right here. I'm sure we have many different kinds of drinkers with many different taste that could all help you get to where your trying to go. As long as your not driving ;)
Some Advice: Good Mix drink to start a night Chambored(Rasberry) Ice Tea. Its strong enough for a man and sweet enough for the women. 2-3 of those and you're good for the night.

I understand your points, but fruity drinks are not for me. That's where we differ; I don't like sugar and most of the drinks just add a **** load of sugar. If I want a mixed drink, I usually go for tonic.
Really, covering up the alcohol taste isn't beneficial for me, you know? Something about tasting the full body of the alcohol interests me. I wouldn't cover up the taste of wine, or saki, so why would I cover up the taste of my cognac, scotch, or bourbon?
Besides, if I want something delicious, I'll grab a beer.
Also, I FUCKING HATE when random girls take sips out of my drink. I don't know where your lips have been! Get your own! Plus, I don't think having a cool looking drink makes you cool. I actually think it's the opposite. Think about it, if you saw two cute girls and one was wearing just a simple, but classy black dress and the other was wearing a crazy designed, rhine stone studded dress; which one would you rather talk to?

See, I'm the exact opposite--I get drunk a lot faster drinking straight alcohol. When I have a glass in my hands I tend to drink from it. I don't know if it's just a nervous habit or what, but I can't go more than minute without taking a sip if I'm holding a glass or if there's one right in front of me.
If I drink straight alcohol I drink more because it's gone in only a few sips. By using a mixer (or just drinking beer) the drink lasts a lot longer.

DRINK WATER. There's no shame in having a glass of water in between alcoholic drinks. Especially if you're a beginner. A good rule of thumb would be to have a full glass of water every 2 or 3 drinks. It will keep you hydrated, let you stay sober long enough to remember the night and reduce the hangover the next morning.

I couldn't agree more, & I find my cognac delicious. Its pretty much all I drink when I go out.

I like subtly and girls do to.
& I also think I'm gonna have to agree here too. You can keep your bright red concoction with the neon green swirl served in a tall daiquiri glass with the cherries with pirate swords stabbed through them and an umbrella next to a lime skin slinky a orange slice and a crazy straw. Just hand me a Vosey on the rocks... make it a double & I'm happy.

Thats what the ice is for ;)
seriously though, tall glass of water before you goto sleep & you minimize chances for a hangover. hangovers are mostly dehydration & lots of sugary liquor will cause you a headache.

i think you both took my post WAY out of context there and started throwing in your own ideas. I never said i'd let a stranger take a drink from my glass, because i never would especially since i normally do all my drinking in Manhattan and people in the city are just too damn weird. Nor did i say i'd drink anything with an umbrella etc etc lol. That whole bit about subtlety is BS too since i'm not going out of my way to show off my drink.
As for vudus comments on the sugary drinks, theres ways of getting a relatively sweet drink without going for something loaded with sugar (such as drinks mixed with sodas). Then, as for the beer comment, i still havent had a beer that i thought tasted good. I'll be honest, i don't try them enough because i can never remember what beers are recommended to me.. and when i do the places i go never seem to have them, so i tend to just stick to my liqour.
I'll agree with everyone elses advice though. Theres a pretty diverse crowd of drinkers here so whichever way Insanolord wants to go with his night out, we all got you covered man. Just make sure you go out and have a blasts with no regrets!

Thanks for the advice guys. I turned 21 a couple months back but all my friends hadn't so I never went out. All I've had is a few beers which I hated except the one I had Saturday. My best friend turned 21 Saturday and he loves the sweet drinks but that doesn't seem like my kind of thing. That water tip makes a lot of sense and I probably wouldn't have thought of that on my own.

Post by: nickmitch on May 04, 2009, 11:19:04 PM
I almost always have some sort of sports drink before bed after drinking, unless I sober up. I feel like the electrolytes in the drink help a **** ton. That being said, some of my friends enjoy a bit of vodka or rum in their gater/powerades.
Also, any carbonation will help you get drunk faster, but watch out for redbull + vodka. Too much and you'll be out of it. The caffeine makes your heart beat faster spreading the alcohol through your blood at a much higher rate. The danger here is that dehydration also works faster in those circumstances.

Well we can always order you a Shirley Temple...(thats non alcoholic right?) But I understand the not having to do it to enjoy the company of those that are, but I find that alcohol is not one of those things. I hate being the sober one around a bunch of drunk people. But I have had friends do other things that shall go unmentioned (I think Pale is lurking) and we would be having a great time till whenever things would finally die down, which was usually not too long after the liquor would run out. They would always wonder how I was still up & drinking with them. I would sometimes wonder too, guess I would just feed off of their energy or something.

Well, we'll just have to hang out sometime, won't we? Though I guess if I was drunk I wouldn't feel as much pain till the next day.
And really, unless I'm around a bunch of rowdy crazy guys to begin with, I think most drunks are boring. Why would I want to sit around a table flipping quarters in a glass? To get drunk and pass out? Get drunk then go out to the bars to drink more and show how wasted you are? **** that. I can sing horrible kareoke, play darts, hit on chicks, go climbing up on rooftops and howl at the moon, show my ass at passing cars, kiss a guy, dance like an idiot, whatever while sober. I guess some people need to legitimize their behavior with 'I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing'. Well, that's fine and dandy, but then who are you? A quiet reserved guy with a raging drunk inside, or a raging drunk with a quiet reserved guy inside? I know who I am. Besides, isn't more fun to think 'this guy is doing this and he's not drunk!' rather than 'man, thats fucked up but he's drunk.'

Crazy SOB it is. See I tend to be real sarcastic, on the assholish side if your are on the recieving side, but never so offensive that you can't laugh it off or rebuttal. I can take it just as well as I can dish it. But sober, I tend to think about what I say and reword it in my head until the moment has passed instead of just saying it. A few drinks later, the comments just keep coming and coming.
I was in rare form on saturday as I think I had a few people just kinda following me around just to hear what I would say next. I was making myself laugh with the random conversation I would wander into and the comments I would make on them.

I'm totally with you on that, but I think its the environment and who I'm with. If you're being 'funny' with me, I'll play along. I guess I find myself wanting to be an attention whore, and if I'm not getting it, then I'll just settle down and enjoy myself. But if I can get some people laughing and going, then watch out.

I'll do anything sober that I would do drunk. And I didn't say anyone...
I find that hard to believe because that means you are either one really crazy SOB or a boring drunk.
Well, we'll just have to hang out sometime, won't we? Though I guess if I was drunk I wouldn't feel as much pain till the next day.
And really, unless I'm around a bunch of rowdy crazy guys to begin with, I think most drunks are boring. Why would I want to sit around a table flipping quarters in a glass? To get drunk and pass out? Get drunk then go out to the bars to drink more and show how wasted you are? **** that. I can sing horrible kareoke, play darts, hit on chicks, go climbing up on rooftops and howl at the moon, show my ass at passing cars, kiss a guy, dance like an idiot, whatever while sober.

My mom took a picture of me in the yard. In the time it took for her to bring the camera up, click the button, and bring it back down, I mooned her. She now has a lovely image of my ass, with one of those photo corners covering my bits. If you knew my mom, this would be even funnier. She is one of the most christian conservative republican people I know.
I think she's keeping it because she's hoping one day I'll feel bad about doing that to her. Or I'm her oldest and she just can't bring herself to throw out a picture of me... ?

thats because every picture she takes of you captures a little bit of your soul. She might need those pictures for your exorcism to push the crazy demon out of you that has apparently replaced the missing parts of your pure christian soul.
To make up for this you need to take in the blood of christ, maybe a whole bottle or two, but be sure to take in some body of christ too just to balance out the cleansing. wouldn't want you to release the demon on accident.

We sound somewhat alike. I don't do a bunch of crazy random **** like you seem to do, but I am down for anything that sounds fun; sober or drunk.
Think it'd be fun to pull up to a party and dance on your car to "I'm so hood!"? Then let's do it! Think two girls are lesbians? Then let's find out! Think it'd be fun to go around seeing how many people you can trick into getting slap? Then let's try it! Think it'd be fun to go to a giant childrens' playground while it's pouring outside at 3 o'clock in the morning? What are we waiting for?!
The fact of the matter is, everyone is dying, let's act accordingly.

Rusty nails (Drambuie and DeWars) are to me what spinach is to Popeye. I've never had a drink give me so much energy with such little crash afterwards.
And though they mess my stomach lining up, tiki drinks are still some of my favorites. These things kick my ass. They're the only type of drink that reliably does that every time.
They don't call them "scorpion bowls" or "suffering bastards" for nothing...

I almost ordered some online a few years back because I've always wanted to try it, especially after that movie Eurotrip. A friend of mine brought some back with him and then drank both bottles of it without me... some fuckin friend that was. Another friend of mine said he had some at a party and he said he turned into blue smoke or something crazy like that. said it was a cool experience but he wasn't enthusiastic about doing it again.

A few years ago a buddy of mine bought a bottle of Absinthe and a separate bottle of wormwood to add to it. We finished the bottle and still saw no green faerie. He wound up drinking the wormwood straight towards the end of the night. He doesn't remember this.

"You shouldn't eat candy, it will rot your teeth"
ok mr. crack dealer can I have seconds of the oh so tasty crack your selling? does it come in any other flavors?

It's total bullshit. Do yourself a favor and completely forget about it's existence. Don't get me wrong...with a sugar cube, it's not bad. It's just not any different then any other type of liquor. Wormwood is terrible for you too. Back in the day, they use to give it to little kids so they would throw up.

Absinthe is legal in the US now, at least some variations that are much closer to the "real" thing (not Absente, that **** is crap). I agree though, it's disgusting, and the retarded process you have to go through (according to the bottle) makes it even worse. You could do like 6 shots of Jager before you had your first Absinthe serving ready.
Title: Re: If Alcohol Labels Were More Honest...
Post by: Dasmos on May 07, 2009, 12:09:14 PM
Eh, Absinthe has been legal here forever. There's nothing special about it. It's a strong spirit, that's about it.
Anyway I almost exclusively drink beer when going out. **** clubs. **** bars. I drink at pubs, that's where the real people are. Although on the rare occasion I drink spirits (which is basically at house parties when my beer has run out), I'm almost exclusively a vodka drinker.
I never really worry about mixing beer with spirits or spirits with carbonated mixers or whatever because I have huge ****-off hangovers after 2 beers. Whether it be 3 beers or 30 I am pretty damn shabby in the morning.

In other news, I was at lunch earlier and as I was sitting there listing to Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey", I day dreamt about getting drunk before heading back to work and just dancing around to that song. I still have some liqour i haven't taken out of the back seat of my car.. I didn't do it though.

don't know what state you're in, but shouldn't you put that liquor in the trunk? I just assume the bottle is already open with the way you worded it.

van gogh drank paint thinner too, he shot himself in a field and laid there for 8 days dying before they found his body(thats what i learned in art school, wikipedia says he shot himself in the chest and died in an Inn). His work was never appreciated druing his life, in fact it was normally derided. The guy was seriously mentally ill. When he lived with Gaugiun for a while and stalked him with a razor blade. The only person who he got along with was his brother who was also going crazy from syphilis who died 6 months after his brother.
don't drink paint thinner and absinthe. Absinthe today is different from absinthe of yesteryear, would you drink something made in the 1800-1920s?

Drunk people annoy me soo much when I'm sober. So a friend calls me @ 1:45, right when I got back to the house, to please come pick her up because she doesn't know where she is. Apparently I have a GPS tracker attached to her somewhere and just forgot about it. So after pointing that out she finds her friend and puts her on the phone so she can give me the address. So now I have to drive back past where I just came from(if she called 15-20min earlier that would have been a convenience) and talk to her while I was driving.
How many times can she tell me what happened during the whole night in 10 minutes.... 4.... 4 times and she doesn't remember telling me just moments before hand. She had sake bombs and Adios' and they just kept feeding her drinks, her friend got in a fight, broke a beer bottle over some other chicks head, the girl that drove them to the club after they got kicked out of the first bar disappeared with some random guy and left them all stranded, a second girl also disappeared, they ended up cramming 8-9 people in a tiny car(2 in the trunk, 3 sitting in the back 2 across the laps 2 in the front) and they ended up back at some random guys house because they wouldn't take her to her car, she started texting me *undecipherable text messages upcoming* [Baby m lost they toil me to I dont know who's house / Im2not driving Im in martinwz ao2mewhete / They won't tMe ,e fk,h car] <---Wut? and then thats when she called me.
She has to work in the morning and she keeps asking me to take her to her car, which I say I'm doing but I'm really not(tell a drunk what they need to hear), and I take her back to her house. She pulls my keys out of the ignition and tosses them somewhere inside the dark passenger side of the car & hands me her house keys (which she kept saying she lost and then 2 minutes later say "I found my keys" during the entire car ride). I take her in her house and tell her its time for her to goto sleep, and now she digging in my pockets for my car keys because she wants to go get her car so she can goto work in the morning. I keep telling her that I will take her to her car in the morning, but she won't let it go. So now she thinks she is slick and starts trying to take off my pants (so she can get my keys) but I'm very annoyed so I just pretend to be sleepy so she will lay down. If I wasn't so annoyed(& hungry) I might have let her get what she might have been going after but I really am not in the mood.
So now she starts trying to tell me stuff that the alcohol has lubricated her up enough to finally say, but she won't just come out and say it, she hides it in metaphoric examples. And starts talking about wanting to go back and get her friend that we supposedly left behind with 10 guys by herself. She tried to convince me to go by saying that she was beautiful and that if I wanted to sleep with her friend there was nobody stopping me. I don't know if she was trying to tell me she was horny or she was just trying to get m back in the car so she would have a chance at picking up her car. I told her that her friend is S.O.L. and I ain't doing anymore driving. She finally dozed off about 15 minutes ago & I just had to come on here and express my annoyance with being sober. why didn't I drink more, it could've been an interesting night.

It's been over five years since I've been to classes, but if memory serves it'd be two shots. Two fingers is only about an ounce and that would not be much of a drink. Could be wrong.
