First 24 oktoberfests of the season.

I guess my favorite booze will have to be Black Velvet. I have never gotten this drunk in such short notice.

I'm already at the stage of feeling sick just looking at it but I'm attempting to see how wasted I can be.

Fuck weekends, I don't know what to do with them.

Have you ever gotten so drunk at a bar just to use the breathalyzer? I tried once but then completely forgot about it. I had the face of shit.

For beer I like Blue Point, Stella Artois (preferably on tap), and Saranac.

I don't really like hard liquor that much, it's always a chore for me to drink it. I do like Jameson though.

I like all kinds of wine too. Really, I don't think I've ever had a bad glass of wine. I even like that 3$ bottle of Trader Joes wine. Wine snobs are stupid

My friend and I kept trying to see who could get the highest breathalyzer score but we got kicked out when they figured out what we were doing since it probably would have lead to one of our deaths.

Bars? Who does that?

my faorite booze's are yukon jack honey whiskey and st. ides malt liquor
yes, I am a girly man :(

I had you pegged as more of a Maddog 20/20 or Ripple or Boon's Farm type of guy

yea or that lightning one

WHITE LIGHTNING

Or Thunderbird

What's the word?
Thunderbird

Apple Season

Connemara single malt Irish Whiskey.

Oh man, this makes me want to be an alcoholic.

yea thats what i meant, thunderbird

although im sure he gets rained on a lot too

I'm pretty sure womti steals this from grocery stores and drinks it in the bathrooms.

man mouthwash is a better way to go, bigger bottles + then you get all the fluoride you could possibly need

FLOURIDE! >:

but willie, fluoride is a poison even in small doses

IT IS AN EVIL POISON THE GOVERNMENT IS PUTTING IN DRINKING WATER TO CAUSE FATAL NOSE WARTS IN CHILDREN.

HERE IS PROOF!!!

WHA-BAM!

Sorry. :( I couldn't help myself.

d'aww a jumpy spider

I've had close to five years of absence from this board; I'm proud that my first reply after that time is in the booze thread.

My drink of choice is a Mint Highball: creme de menthe and ginger ale. It's so refreshing!

Brawndo's got what plants crave, it's got electrolytes!

I ain't putting no water from my toilet on plants. That's for damn sure.

guys that movie's kind of funny but entirely too many people treat it as something that could actually happen when it isn't

also it kind of promotes eugenics

The future's gonna look more like Brave New World, I will bet a dollar.

Oh I know it's not gonna happen. There's stupid people and there's smart people and we all like to fuck. Sure there are less stupids than smarts, but it'll never go down like that movie. It is a great movie though.

Kraken rum is okay.

I thought it was more than okay. I thought it was 'prty gd'. Could've been the fact that there's a kraken on the bottle, though.

I've had too many beers that have a cool label and taste like shit. I now buy beers with only a small logo at best and no real graphic design.

I don't drink anymore and I still end up buying beers with cool labels to display.

I drink right now. Past tense that.

I spent all day at a booze mega-store that's divided into two sides (liquor and beer/wine) trying to find a bottle of cream sherry only to realize that they keep it on the liquor side. I found it and Harvey and Gibson's tastes pretty good, even if it isn't Harvey's Bristol Cream.

Yuengling.

oh shit! matt's back and he likes good beer

When I was at Jungle Jim's last week, there were posters all over the place saying MEET DAN AYKROYD (for $12). I guess he's coming back through town promoting his private vodka label again.

I've said it before and I'll probably say it again:

He was just here a few weeks ago. They gave him the key to Niagara Falls. This is how bad Niagara Falls is.

I DIDNT KNOW WATERFALLS HAD LOCKS

Captain Morgan or Admiral Nelson all the way. I think must have been a pirate in my past life because no matter how many different types of fifths I down, I always come back to spiced rum.

I already knew how bad Niagara Falls was, and giving Dan Aykroyd the key to it does not surprise me :lol

Unless they gave him the key to the lochs...

was this on the American side? Because that's even more insulting.

If it was on the American side wouldn't it be the key to the gift shops?

That's the Canadian side. On the American side, maybe a key to the state park bathrooms.

It was the american side. they don't have locks in canada

Nogne-Ø from fukken Norway

When I was home on leave I drank some of that Dan Akroyd crystal skull vodka. It wasn't anything great, but when I got wasted enough I lifted the bottle in the air and made the Predator clicking noise. My folks are so proud of me.

any questions?

I tried absinthe today. Yes, I'm a faggot, whatever. I won't bore you with the details, so:

-Got fucking hammered after a single glass
-Kinda tastes like Ouzo
-Expensive (60 bucks for a 750 ml bottle)
-Makes people think you're a fag
-Am drunk but not wasted, i.e. I'm still lucid and can comprehend my environment to the point of normal functionality. I guess that's the main psychoactive effect everyone's on about. It's slightly different from being normally drunk, but not enough to write home about.

I definitely like it, but it's too expensive to buy for anything but special occasions. Luckily, I don't need that much to get properly retarded, so every bottle will probably last a while.

We have a bottle of Absente. We drank it in the recommended proportions to water and sugar, absolutely nothing happened.

Mmmm. I have warm memories of it and ouzo. But licorice candies make me gag. Strange.

if you didnt drink one with thujone made in one of the few countries where allowing thujone alkaloids into absinthe is acceptable, then you imagined everything.

Now I want some ouzo... Prick.

thujone doesn't do very much re: getting high, especially at the levels you'd find it at in absinthe

unless you like muscle spasms i guess

But if you get the right kind you can kill nicole kidman.

:lol

Absente has very little thujone, so I'm sure that might have been a factor. It was still fairly pricey (about $40 a bottle when I bought it last February) and all of the paraphernalia adds up. I could have had real absinthe in Prague, except I was 17 and with my parents, so no.

This is all I can remember about when I had absinthe.

Hahaha this is awesome. I couldn't think of anything to do with mine, but it mixed up well with some stuff and wasn't bad straight. That's def a bottle I'll be hanging on to though.

Absinthe now is not the same as absinthe at the turn of the century. It used to be made with Thujone, opium, and other narcotic compounds, but now it contains nothing of the sort.

All you're left with is an expensive, clear version of Sambuca with extra alcohol.

That said, i had some Lucid about a week ago and it was okay, but i wasn't really impressed. Which one did you have?

when i want green sort of licorice and herbs flavored liquor i drink chartreuse

the only liquor to have a color named after it

I think it is, but it's made by monks. Or at least it used to be. I saw the monastery from my train window but zipped by :(

I MISSED ALL THE EUROPEAN BOOZE HOTSPOTS :(

except in Italy, where my mom got drunk on a jug of wine and started going into hysterics about a dog that was in the restaurant and we just about left her there.

fixed

i-mockery starring shane macgowan

Lucid, same as you. Shit makes me sleepy.

It says it's got grand wormwood in it, so I think it should have at least a little thujone. Whether or not it's enough to do anything is another matter entirely, though. I didn't know traditional absinthe had opium in it, either, I guess that's why they banned it.

that's also why it actually used to DO something apart from get you drunk

I'm on the fence with this one - Michael Collins Irish Whiskey. Single malt, "lightly peated" it doesn't taste like a blend, but it's not as tasty as Connemara. It's not quite as smooth, either, but that's part of being a single malt. Expensive, but I'm not sure it's worth the bucks. Good, not great. :\

I had a sip of the whiskey-cherry juice the cherries had been soaking in for months. It was pretty okay.

Anyone see that new tobasco whiskey?

:domosleepsmithwicks ale!!!!

Has anyone tried the alcohol whipped cream? I keep seeing it and wondering, but I'm just not understanding what it adds to any given situation.

it doesn't have high enough levels of thujone or it would be illegal.

on the bright-side I'm sure wherever you buy your kratom has concentrated thujone alkaloids.
and you can get your opium from somebodies lawn!

GUYS THUJONE DOESNT GET YOU HIGH STOP ACTING LIKE IT DOES >:

I remember in Romeo and Juliet that the nurse said she "applied wormwood" to her "dug" to wean Juliet. I don't know if it was supposed to taste nasty or what, but I doubt it got her high.

I think you misread that - I'm sure she applied wormwood to "the dankest of the nugz."

It's been a while since high school.

YOU MEAN IT DOESNT CAUSE HALLUCINATIONS

it gives you muscle spasms and probably acts as a nausea suppressant

if that's getting high, i think i've done it wrong every time i've tried

MAYBE IF YOU GET ENOUGH MUSCLE SPASMS YOU"LL TURN INTO A EPILEPTIC AND START HAVING HALLUCINATIONS

spasms aren't the same as seizures

hiccups are spasms

MORE LIKE HIGHCCUPS

Jesus christ, southern comfort tastes like fucking cough syrup

HAVE YOU ABUSED COUGH SYRUP YET

I can go either way with it. I like it some days... but it is always good with coke.

I was at my favorite margarita place for dinner (they make them extra extra strong) and saw the waitress going past with a new-to-me invention: a jumbo margarita with two open bottles of Corona upended in it.

Got to say I'd never even considered that.

that's not what wikipedia says, wikipedia says it's a GABA and 5-HT(3) receptor antagonist

which means it'll give you spasms and make you less likely to vomit

NOT GIVE YOU HALLUCINATIONS

HOW DID THAT DISAPPEAR?

not trying to be a dick but i think YOU need to learn to read.
That doesn't say that it doesn't cause intoxication, but that "the activation of cannabinoid receptors" is not responsible for it.

the wording even seems to imply that there is a thujone intoxication ;/

got the maraschino cherries soaking and this year I'm going to do two different batches

so we've got maraschino cherries soaked in either Wild Turkey or Captain Morgan Spiced for a month, in fondant made with same, encased in a ghirardelli milk chocolate shell.

I'm more excited about it than usual- usually when I make them I just want to get it over with because candymaking is a drag if you're not in the right mood.

kitsa.

make me some booze gummibears.

i tell you what you get a bunch of wormwood and get high on it and then i'll admit i'm wrong

I haven't made gummis before, but I know it can be done.

k
..

also ayahausca doesnt get you high either

:lol

i dont even care if absinthe doesn't get you high but DONT YOU THROW STUPID ARGUMENTS IN MY FACE

man dont actually do that, shit is poisonous

i tried mixing powdered wormwood with vodka when i was younger and letting it sit for a while, but the result was way too nasty to drink.

Thujone definitely does. Legal absinthe has tops 20ppm of thujone in it, if bought from Switzerland or France you can get it with 100ppm.
Thujone will get you high as fuck in the right amounts, but you'd die from alcohol poisoning before you got there with absinthe. that shit does give you a really bizarre sort of lucid inebriation though, which is awesome :I

Sam Adams Black and Brew is really good.

Coffee + Beer = Amazing.
Coffee + Bear = dead
