Jamesons is my go to whiskey, which is my go to liquor I think their 12 yr is a bit better than the standard and good value, anything more than that isnt worth the extra money.  No suggestion as for rye and burbon, but Makers is tasty.

Gin-- Hendricks is really really good, but a touch sweet.  Makes the best G+T for me.

Rum, 10cane  or Bicardi for mojitos Meyers for Coke (NHawks go to)

Vodka-- Stoli in the freezer

Cognac go VSOP but no higher

Wish I worked at Stirling Cooper right now.

Andre Dawson paid his $1,000 fine for the Joe West incident with style. Dawson wrote ``Donation for the blind`` in the memo section of his personal check.

Good days.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

Tequila:  Makes me violent and gives me the shakes.  I only drink it in margaritas to keep the beast calm; figure I can't act like a moron if I'm drinking something red or lime green.  PS:  I prefer frozen strawberry, sailor.  

Gin:  Who drinks this shit?  Can't stand it, but I'll keep trying.

Vodka:  White Russians... that's about it.  Or mixed drinks...  Pretty much the only way a dude can look cool drinking Vodka is if he's 1) Russian 2) it's in a White Russian or 3) drinking it straight or downing shots with a Russian.  

Whiskey:  Jack and Coke.  Heavy on the Jack.  Whiskey has pretty much ruined my life.  I love it.  It's all I have left.  Irish (recommend Redbreast and would loooove to try a bottle of Green Spot one day...), Scotch (12 year McCallan I love; Johnny Walker Red accounted for my last case of walking death) and of course... Kentucky Straight Motherfuckin' Bourbon...  Wathens, Knob Creek, Bulleit, Makers, WOODFORD (totally worth the bail money), Jim Beam...  I love mine straight, no homo, and at most a drop or three of water.  Neat all the way.  I'm not opposed to mixing, just do it right... Well done mint juleps with Woodford will rape your face after a long day of barbecues, horse races and cousin/sister banging.

Pisco:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco

Many varieties to be enjoyed in different ways, great for cooking and drinking (my parents watch a show produced in Peru that shows a different way to use it every week for meals and drinks), and traditionally used in the great Pisco Sour.  Don't bother making it in the states with our typical big, dumb lemons; they SUCK.  Peru has little green lemons; you need to get those (I can't drink lemonade here; only in Peru).  New drinks include the Pisco Maracuya (that's passion fruit to you gringos).  

Hi, my name is powen01, and I'm an alcoholic.  

I wish I could pull that off. I usually have to down a few shots and then have one mixed with coke or water before I've numbed myself enough to drink straight for the rest of the evening.

If I see someone drinking Southern Comfort I automatically think less of them as a person. Just saying.

I'm thinking of routing the controls to a switch in my desk.  My version of a panic button.

Tequila actually has the opposite effect on me. A bottle of fine blue agave makes for a mellow flannj.

Stoli on the other hand leads to screaming arguments with the wife and a guest appearance on COPS. Everytime.


QuoteDon't bother making it in the states with our typical big, dumb lemons; they SUCK.  Peru has little green lemons; you need to get those (I can't drink lemonade here; only in Peru).  

I couldn't agree more. Citrus grown in the U.S. blows.
Look for round, smooth, thin skinned limes from Mexico.
The oval Persian varieties grown in the states are bitter and are the easiest way to ruin a nice G&T.
Even better if you can find real Key limes or Carribean grown (which are actually yellow).
Nice citrus perfume when you slice them.
Goddammit, now I'm drooling.

If overseas, Cuba's Havana Club makes fantastic rum.

I actually had it in Cuba and managed to sneak some home.
It is outstanding.

I used to sneak in absinthe from the czech republic when I'd visit there.
Much better than the fake absinthe crap here in the US.
