Jameson is great,
Tullamore Dew, Bushmills, Black Bush are all acceptable.
No offense to you Jack Daniel's lover but I can't even look at that stuff straight anymore. It's pretty rotten against Jameson and others.
Lbelle, I didn't mean you'd be a fatty. I saw your FB picture. Just take care when drinking those heavy shots and mixed drinks. They have a LOT of calories. Usually 300-400+ calories PER drink. Bartenders like having pretty girls at the bar, they also want them to stay pretty so the bar attracts more people.
Girls that drink straighty whiskey and beer are either:
Your new best friend (hot girl)
Man-hating dykes
It is damn sexy to watch though :D
This new drink Code Blue or something, has tons of B vitamins, electrolytes etc. Works against hangovers if you bomb one the night before. It's in limited release but you can find it most places. Helped me this morning. Doesn't taste amazing but kicks you in the ass and gets you moving.
^ Don't mention the story without telling it!
And its now second nature for me whenever I drink (even when I black out) to take out my contacts, brush my teeth, and stick my head under the bathroom faucet until I near drown. I always wake up around 930 to relieve myself and I'm rarely ever hung over. Eat/drink right before you go to bed and it makes all the difference in the world.
I propose someone starts an awesome Drunk story thread. I would, but I can't think of any right now...
^ I have a collection of orange road cones that I steal whenever I black out and walk home. And its like a two mile walk home so I'm pretty happy I haven't been arrested for that yet.
We had our noise complaints lined up on our fridge like badges of honor. Trick is to just send someone new out each time. They can't ticket you without a warning first. We had at least 15 on our fridge.
Best story is the time that I was woken up at 4AM. I hear knocking and wake up, look at the clock. Figure whoever it is will fuck off, so I lay back down. They keep knocking. Shit, I guess I'm dragging my ass out of bed.
I look through the peep hole. Two cops and my half naked room mate. After thinking it over for a minute, I opened the door. With a look that said "what the fuck do you want?" I opened the door. The first cop looks at me, and asks "Does *he* live here?
I didn't know what the correct answer was so I looked to my room mate. He's standing, shirtless, shoeless, pantless and torn underpants, dragging a towel. He's grinning from ear to ear with a black eye, and barely looks coherent. I wait a few seconds, hoping he'd notice I was waiting for a sign, but he didn't. Pissed off and wanting to go back to sleep, I said yes.
The cops threw him in the door, obviously annoyed they had to deal with him and told him good night. Jeff responded "NO NEED TO BE A FAG ABOUT IT." I closed the door, quickly.
I watched as he then wandered to the freezer, pulled out a frozen pizza and stumbled to his room. I hear a door slam and then the sound of a piece of furniture falling over and then dead silence. I honestly thought he had died. I'd deal with it in the morning.
Next day I found out that he had gotten drunk at a house party. Went looking for a bathroom and found a chick half passed out. She had a boyfriend, though Jeff was him and started making out with him/taking off his clothes (Or so he tells it). Guy finds him, he and his friends kick his ass.
He then walks home, around 10 miles, stopping to take a nap in a ditch. The cops found him walking past a party in our complex they were breaking up and picked him up. Drove him half way around town before finding out he lived in the place they just took him from. He has no idea where he found the towel. He said he thought he was in the godfather when he woke up and felt something wet and soggy in his bed. It turned out to be the now thawed frozen pizza.
Wow that was a long type. I'll tell some others after some other people take their turn. Remind me to tell the beer pong cop story and the drunk mexican wrong house fight. Good times.
Mine from last night isn't all that great, and I feel bad for the guy who get arrested, but I don't think there was a second of silence as we laughed our way home from the bar.
I'm inside talking to a heifer, cute face, but too big even though we were going hogging last night (I'm not usually up to that, but I gave it a shot). I look out the window, my boys are having a cig, and all that. Well, these two are back from Iraq on leave right now, and wanted some fun. Some douchebag comes up and starts trying to bum a cig, and these guys full of whiskey before we even went out, don't want anything to do with this kid.
The kid bothering them looks something like this
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o...itis/-78-1.jpg
and wearing some tight ass pants and a leather jacket, being all hxc that he is. Well, he ends up talking trash because they tell him to fuck off, and he doesn't. Starts running his mouth, the one dude says don't fuck with us infantrymen. He continues to do so, "fuck infantry men, fuck you, fuck your hat" (He's wearing a jeff cap thing, one of those flat irish hats). The one guy being all about the Irish, smashes his beer bottle over his head, bouncer comes over, asks what's up, and the douches buddies don't even back him up.
Fast forward 10 minutes, we're walking up the street after being asked to leave, and low and behold, we've got this kid on our ass following the six of us. Just him mind you, so I get up in his face, instigating stuff. We reach a street corner, I back off, and the kid who smashed the bottle gets in his face again. They go back n forth yelling, he gets popped in the jaw, looks dumbfounded and confused at what happened. Meanwhile a cop car rolls up as he's still mouthing off, and while the cop is at the red light, he pushes my friend (who's successfully baited him into doing it, seeing the cop pull up behind his back).
tl;dr - beer bottle smashed over kids head, kid gets slugged in the face, ends up getting arrested as we walk down the road in tears from the lulz.
Try this:
Orange Juice
Sprite (or 7up)
Shot of EverClear (*edit- Vodka is acceptable as a replacement)
Make sure everything is nicely chilled beforehand
As for straight shots I'd go w/ Vodka, Jack Daniels, and Crown Royal chased w/ the drink above.
Lime vodka with some lipton green tea is fucking baller also.
Leninade:
Smirnoff vodka
Amaretto
lemonade
Found my recipe for Kahlua:
Kahlua
1 qt water
2 1/2 cups Sugar
3 tablespoons Instant coffee
1 tablespoon Vanilla
2 1/2 cups Vodka
Bring water, sugar and coffee to a boil in a saucepan.
Simmer VERY slowly for 3 hours. Mixture will be very dark
and syrupy. Cool. Add vanilla and vodka. Makes 7 cups.
^ How does it compare to the stuff you buy? I've recently been infusing/flavoring my own liquors and its a new hobby that I enjoy. Is it worth the effort?
i keep my drinks simple, 2-3 mixers.
Gold Tequila + Blue Raz Kool Aid
Effen Black Cherry Vanilla Vodka + random energy drink (Cocaine or NOS preferred)
Vodka + Club Soda + Splash of Cranberry juice
Pama + Sprite (Pomegranate liqueur)
Stoli Vanil Vodka + Coca Cola
Stoli Blueberry Vodka + NOS (drinking this atm, very tasty)
Guiness + Baileys Irish Cream w/ Shot of Whiskey in a shot glass (Irish Car Bomb)
