Club drinks.

If you're going to drink a lot, don't go for the complicated drinks, either beer, or 1 type of liquor, the faster the bartender can get you your drink, the quicker he'll/she'll get you your next one. Also, tip big early in the night, and use the same bar, if there's more than one in the place, and the bartender should remember what you're drinking, and ensure you get your drink quicker again. Oh and keep hydrated, drink an ounce of water for every ounce of liquor you drink, and no hang-overs the next morning.

Be classy as shit and drink Old Fashioneds (whiskey, orange/cherry mash, Angostura bitters) or Mint Juleps (Whiskey, simple syrup, muddled Mint, shaved ice). THe Mint Julep is like Southern x10000 so you should have success with it in Alabama.

Open a Jeroboam Cristal or Krug...
Guaranteed to have chicks flocking to your table.

[izembo]

long island iced tea

[wop]

Champagne onry, be it a nice vintage, or cocktails like Kir Royale or Belini's etc...

You will never go wrong with it.

[Yuri-G]

yeah, I'm not cashing in my 401k to get drunk but that's a good idea

gin and tonics all the way. be careful with cheap gin though, it's a killer. get hendrick's & tonic if you can afford it (and if they have it... haven't always seen it when out at the clubs).

or when in doubt, vodka anything. vodka lemonade was an old favorite, now it's vodka cranberry. not fancy, but in some clubs you don't want to get fancy (because they'll just screw it up). some people swear by vodka redbull too, but that shit tastes like fermented Smarties to me.

[Ghost_Wheel22]

Can never go wrong with a bottle of Hennessy Paradis Extra or Courvoisier Napoleon either. Excellent neat with a stone ice.

I think some people on here are forgetting he said its a club in Alabama. If you order a martini or mojito, you aren't picking up a chick and likely getting your shit knocked in.

Order a whiskey and water or a long island will work.

[Venga]

The cheaper options will more than likely be a vodka mixer. Any sodas they have they have on tap and vodka. I personally like amaretto and coke, tastes like cherry bakewells, but when im saving money it's either vodka red bull or vodka lemonade. All comes down to what types of drink you like, if you like sweet then here's a few:

Amaretto + Cranberry (tastes like glacier cherries)
Malibu + Coke
Malibu + Orange juice
Vodka + Orange juice
Vodka + redbull

Clubbing in b-ham from my personal experience.

It's busy, always busy, so if you don't know what you want when you walk up to the bar you will piss the bartender off.

If it's busy at all, don't order a mojito. Even if they can make them they will probably tell you they are out of mint because it takes too long to make while busy.

Plan on staying a while, one beer/drink an hour.

Just want to get fucked up? Long islands like others have said.

Don't want to be seen as a gay boy? Stay away from the 'martinis.' I put that in quotes because if it doesn't involve just gin and vermouth, then it's not a martini it's a cocktail, but that's a discussion for another thread.

Always tip at least 1$ a drink for beer, more for mixed drinks. Bartenders DO learn very quickly who the shitty tippers are and you will have to wait MUCH longer to get service. Oh also, to get service while it's busy stand there with your money or card out, and give them direct eye contact. I usually don't have a wait at all while doing this.

Oh and if you pay with a card and the bartender says "leave it open" he means do you want to start a tab and he will keep your card until you are ready to pay.

[jinkazama]

mmmm Long Island, Gin and Tonic is good shit too.

I've only had it once but Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey is amazing, I'd ask and see if they have it, good shit.

[AoE]

Alternatively, you can just be like this guy.

One thing I've found to work fairly well is to stand just to the side of the taps, with money in hand. While they're pouring, just make sure they notice you're there and ready to go.

[Vuitton]

lol? at people recommending martinis at a dance club? That shit is gonna get spilled real fast, in addition to the fact that they're for sipping. Unless you want to gulp down pure alcohol before someone bumps into you spilling your martini, I'd recommend a cocktail and save the martini ordering for dinner, lounges, nice sit-down bars, ect. Martinis are definitely a table drink.

Popular cocktails:

-vodka-cran (vodka and cranberry juice)
-Stoli Blueberry (Vodka) and Soda/7-Up/Tonic (Tastes like a blueberry muffin)
-Long Island Iced Tea, as said is the best bang for your buck if you're just looking to get drunk as fast as possible. Good for clubs known to make weak drinks.
-Gin & Tonic/Soda w/ lime
-Vodka Tonic/Soda w/ lime
-Whiskey & Coke
-7 and 7 (Seagram's Seven Whiskey & 7-Up)
-Rum & Coke

[dudeguy]

Don't order any of these fairy sugar drinks, go double vodka water slice of lime like a boss.

Trust me.

[Venga]

-7 and 7 (Seagram's Seven Whiskey & 7-Up)

Always wondered what this was, heard it said so many times on American shows and never bothered to find out lol

Alternative option; get shots in and dont worry about people bumping into you? Or if you're really on it, shot and a double!

If you're going the shot route; do some liquid cocaine (jager and goldschlager) to get buzzed.

This works everywhere I go around here, bartenders like when people are ready and sure of what they want.
