95% of canned beer is unpalletable pisswater.
If it's your first night out drinking, I suggest beer and shots, as many shots as you think you can do (you'll do too many) and then you'll learn to be a bit conservative and understand that drinking alcohol isn't always about getting fuckfaced.
You may already know this, but unless you have a few rancid, near-suicidal, brain throbbing beast hangovers under your belt, you'll never quite develop the understanding.
Awww, LBelle is growing up. Best place to get Kegs in Gainesville is a place on south 13th, near the Bambi Hotel. I forget the name, but they have Kegs for $45 to the public and even less if you know the owner. Talk to some people and find a connection. We'd get kegs of Yuengling for $35.
Had you ever taken me up on my offer to hang out before I moved away, you'd be an expert on these things already.
A new favorite drink of mine hails from LA. You mix 1 shot tequila, 1 shot espresso (weird, I know) and a half shot of Kahlua. Serve over ice.
Sounds gross, but try it. It's the new red bull vodka.
hey lbelle, how do you feel about random people you've never met showing up
Red Label and Ginger is good.
if you like a little sweet or creamy, give Stoli Vanilla and ginger a shot. Tastes like cream soda.
I don't live in gville anymore. The place is hella sketchy looking, but it's run by great guys. I'm having a hard time remembering what it was called. We just called it the "Keg Place."
I looked on google streetview, I think this is the place.

It's hard to tell from the far away view... They should have something on the sign about keg prices. It was the exact same for the 4 years I was in college.
Vodka with vodka mixer, with a vodka chaser
a buddy of mine who was stationed in korea brought back with him a gallon of soju. its a distilled rice wine, kind of like sake but a bit sweeter. you could compare it to vodka i guess but i found that the best way to drink this stuff is to mix it with cherry kool aid. drink enuf of it and it will put you on your ass. most of the soju sold here in the states in no more than 25% alcohol per volume but this stuff he brought back with him was 40% or higher i think. but if you can get your hands on some soju and cherry koolaid i suggest you give it a try
Thread is tl;dr so Im sure most of what Im about to say has been said.
Carbombs I know people have said, and there's a reason. Fucking delicious and will definitely help you out.
I tweaked the old Cranberry and Vodka while at a party and rummaging the fridge while drunk. Vodka, Cranberry juice, promagranate green tea, splash of lime juice, and slice of lime on top. More of something to drink when you're the one throwing the party.
Kamikazes are my new favorite shot to do, except they go down like juice... so be careful. Vodka, Triple Sec and Lime Juice. Also I've seen/heard of them being made with Tequila instead of Vodka.
And if you're splurging for your b-day, enjoy it. Fuck Grey Goose, Ketel One hands down. I was out pretty early on my 21st, hope you last longer! =)
(oh and fucking LOL @ whoever mentioned UDI - Unidentifiable Drunken Injuries... so so so true)
So you're looking to get drunk.
Here's a few recommendations.
Don't drink anything with :
Ameretto
Irish Cream
Fruit-flavored mixing liquors (DeKuyper's stuff, Pucker's etc)
or a LOT of sugar
That will lead to a NASTY hangover. All the sugar overloads your system and that coupled with the alcohol will leave you feeling hazy for sometimes a few days.
I recommend you start out with some beer and straight spirits like vodka.
Having been a bartender at one of the most high-volume college bars around I can tell you that all those girls who drink Amaretto Sours, Melonball and Baybreezes are the ones who put on the freshman fifteen pretty damn fast. The girls who drink beer and shoot whiskey stay skinny and talk a lot of shit on those fatties.
tl;dr : Drink beer and straight liquor and don't be fat.
alright I have a pretty good list thanks to this thread, and even though Zetanio thinks I'm going to be a fat bitch after having them, I'm gonna go with carbombs and an assortment of other things I wrote down. They were mentioned like 4-5 times as being good, and BG is nevar wrong! Hollaback gurl.
Thanks everyone, gonna go buy this stuff and have a fun bday party :D!
Zetanio is right,
there's something sexy about a girl who can drink neat whiskey next to me at the bar. Not to mention if you learn to like beer, it's a LOT cheaper to go out and drink.
Forget to mention, drinking a medium sized Gatorade before you go to bed can prevent or alleviate hangover. It had never failed me no matter how drunk I was.
