Alcoholic Energonic Drinkers Thread

[SkyWarp91]

Well in good ol' Aussie and Cybertronian tradition this cyber-pub is a hub for all talks and chants about the alcohols we enjoy, recommend, hate, disapprove and are curious about. This thread is also for energon drinkers but this video is evidence alone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EBUXVZcb2M) we humans ain't so suitable for its consumption!

Personally I'm a fan of Sol and Coronas. Least favorite beers are any that are extra dry. Haven't explored much myself in the realm of spirits but do have the ingredients to make Blue Lagoons at me den. Any other concoctions others can recommend I can make with a bottle of double-distilled vodka?

And yes, this thread was inspired by discussions of alcohol by certain members here and you know who you are ;)

[KillinSpoon]

Ha! I love that episode!
I wonder which group caused this to be made? :P

EDIT:
As for a drink to be made with double distilled vodka, I'd recommend.

1. Opening the bottle
2. Pouring it down the sink
3. Going to your bottle-o and buying a good bottle of scotch
4. Having a glass on the rocks

;)

I got two bottles of whiskey sitting on my cabinet as well. Haven't been touched for like a year now (they have been opened before). Don't know if that's a good thing or not.

I was recently at a wedding where every table had a 2 bottles of Johnnie Walker Double Black on it. Good times:)

I am a rum drinker myself.

Beer wise there are too many to choose from. Corona is easily my favourite but there aren't many I dislike. What do you prefer in your coronas Skywarp lemon or lime?

[1AZRAEL1]

There are no drinkers on this forum, what are you on about? :p

Vodka, a great thing to do with that is make your own special flavoured vodka with it. My brother made chilli vodka with a bottle and gave it to me. Deadly stuff. Instead of getting drunk off of it though, I ended up getting high lol. Or you can always do shooters at a party after you have already had a few. Easiest way to get rid of alcohol you don't want anymore. Worked with a bottle of ouzo my soon-to-be-father-in-law had.

Now, my drink of choice is Mead, mainly because its the drink of the vikings lol. But honestly though, I do love to go get some random foreign and local beers at Dan Murphys, try them out, and if I like them, buy more. Dark beers are some of my favourite. Tooheys Old and a foreign one called Hobgoblin are fantastic.

I'll have to post up a photo of all the beer bottles I got, I kinda collect the fancy ones. One I got is the shape of a buddha heh.

I too enjoy the rum, Bathurst a couple of years back I had a few bottles of Captain Morgan, mainly because it was Pirate drink :p

LOL thats why I started drinking rum. I was a fisherman when I turned 18 so since it is the drink of sea men (I wonder how many people will giggle at that:p) I just started drinking it.

Rum ain't too bad. Tequila though man the taste is so offputting

[1AZRAEL1]

I did :p

I had a bad night drinking that once, never touched it since. Bout 9 years ago now since I have. I smell it and i feel ill.

1. booker noes
2. add coke
3. drink
4. repeat

[blackie]

Bundy - eughh. 151, yeahhhh :P

I like trying all sorts of foreign beers, I have a photo of me with two german steins + 2 litres of beer(no idea what the brand was, but came in 2 cans) that I got for $15 from Safeway when they were on special. I'll upload it.

That's another one of them yea haha

[KillinSpoon]

Well, it made for a cheap night that's for sure! :D
Err, don't ask about the outfit, just embrace it.

[1AZRAEL1]

Cheap night is always great heh. And I won't ask about your costume if you don't ask about mine :p

[KillinSpoon]

Or lack of costume? :p

[1AZRAEL1]

Yea, I wore a viking helmet :p :D

[blackie]

i want those glasses

then id only need to make up one more drink for the night if i made 2 of them of jd and coke :P

[1AZRAEL1]

They are great glasses. Can make up one (really strong) drink and your set for the night, or half an hour :p

[Doubledealer]

Rum & Cointreau are some of my favourites but I ain't fussy. As long as it's strong and sweet I'm good to go. If I wasn't saving I'd probably be on the white russians with a shake of nutmeg. :p

[SkyWarp91]

Tried Souther Comfort, an envy cocktail, bombay sapphire and some Alize blue cognac for the first time last night with many many coopers clears at a 21st.

Also ate a crapload of free food, but have been spending all of today crapping it out :rolleyes:

SoCo ain't bad, tastes very sweet. Envy is very creamy. BS I had with lemonade - don't taste too bad and Alize has a very odd fruity flavor to it.

[blackie]

off weekend for me
think i had 1 drink after baseball on sat while sitting in the spa

[UltraMarginal]

off weekend for me
think i had 1 drink after baseball on sat while sitting in the spa

sometimes the best cure for a hard game of baseball is a hot bath. after an ice pack... I chose the ice pack this saturday.

My drink of choice is generally beer. I used to primarily favour the good old Toohys Old.
lately though I really like the James Squire sundown lager, but I do like their porter and several others.

I'm always open to a pint of Guiness or Kilkenny also.

Love a good glass of port, and happy to share a bottle of wine with a couple people.

Spirits I have a lot of in the cupboard but tend to buy more than I use... don't like rum or scotch. but don't mind drambui for some reason.

like to sip a good sipping tequila.

*Edit*
also very partial to a Dunkel at the Lowenbrau or Bavarian Bier cafe. One big glass is always a good start, though you tend to feel like a hobbit... "They come in pints?!"

Have you tried the Guiness Pot Pie at PJ Gallaghers? It is one the best things I have every eaten.:)

JD's silver select used to be my favorite but it's been overthrown buy Wild Turkey "Tradition" i think it's called. best ever...:rolleyes:

my mate bought some non-alcoholic beer on the week-end:confused: WTF.
smelled like beer mixed in with baked beans

[SkyWarp91]

Drunk so many different drinks in such a short amount of time, at first I felt pretty normal but now, I feel like a butterfly man, so light. So light that my head moves like a bird free in the sky!!! ,s..

[Spiritprime]

Hmmm, I'm not addicted to alcohole because I find their taste most displeasing, but I am completely addicted to these drinks:

1. Coke Zero!
2. Pepsi Max
3. Diet Coke

Yup, I'm a serious caffine drinker. XD It's worse than being addicted to alcohole.

[loophole]

im in a Captain Morgan Spiced Gold phase at the moment its the only rum that i'll drink, but most of the time i stick with my black label beam :D

Currently working through a bottle of the spiced gold myself absolutely love it! Next on the to finish up list is my bottle of Jim Beam and Honey then I will be purchasing a bottle of the Jack Daniels and Honey and a bottle of the New Bundaberg Vat.

Have you tried the new Beam Devil's Cut?? I highly recommend it if you have not. It is quite smooth and easy to drink probably my favorite bourbon around at the moment!

[blackie]

devils cut rocks
put away a bottle of that with a mate the other weekend, went down so well

i have a list of 9 burbons that i wish to purchase a bottle of and drink by the end of the year, shouldnt be too hard :P

[Doubledealer]

Thanks for the suggestion lads, guess I know what I'm drinking tonight. :p

[deadonarrival]

No worries let us know how you found it =D always willing to hear others opinions especially considering it is my job to know these things

[Doubledealer]

I thought it was quite pleasant but I wouldn't be in a rush to buy it again. Nice for a change. :)

[deadonarrival]

Yep I understand that. I think I had a few bottles over a month or two then wanted a change. I was drinking my mates home brew the other night, he had a Cherry flavoured Beer that was really good and know im thinking bout buying a home brew kit. Anyone else do home brewing?

Mate, don't talk to me about Cherry flavoured home brew!! :p last time my brother made that stuff it damn near took my eye out when I opened the bottle! Only part I've had to do with home brew is that, and designing the label for my bro's beers - I added the motto "The devil made me brew it" haha

Enjoying ye olde Captain Morgan Spiced Gold tonight...This stuff goes down way too easy

The curse of Captain Morgan strike again lol. Went out with some work mates last nite, they had Morgan and cola for $6.40 so I went for it. Bad thing is I had way too much of it that I ended up losing it all, and my dinner :p

SO after a lot of research ive just put my first brew together. In a couple of weeks it will be ready for a test I cant wait to see how bad I did.

That's cool, my borther in-law brew his own, pretty good drop.

I've just come up with a new drink.
Mrs Ultra Marginal is away on training for over a week and I've finally got a bit of spare time to trawel the boards and have a couple quiet ones.

recipe:
large glass
bottle of bundaberg ginger beer
generous helping of cointreau

I'm working on a name. though I've just been reading some of the first volume of More than meets the eye, and I'm attracted to the name

sparkeater or
scraplet juice.
Bulkheads Bliss


that's a winnar.
Bulkeads Bliss. it even rhymes.

any further suggestions will be accepted but this is the currant working title.

[1AZRAEL1]

Alcohol + posting on internet = bad speeling =P

I like bulkheads bliss, has a nice ring to it lol.

Well i should be set for Bathurst, got myself 2 bottles of honey mead, a bottle of spiced mead, and mead from another company i haven't tried yet. And a 2ltr can of asahi which i will drink before i go lol

Do you like Mead?:D You'll have to carry your sword and wear an old school tunic to justify all that mead. Me thinks/ (watch out I've mved onto the white port.(they just don't make emoticons for this situatin!):D

[UltraMarginal]

"Bulkeadsd Bliss" followed by

glasses of white port, and cigars on the balcony at 2 am mixed with a smart phone with ebay app, do not a good combination make.:o

[1AZRAEL1]

I will be taking my viking drinking horn and also my viking helmet to wear the whole weekend :p (can't take a sword, may get arrested :p)

[snaketales]

So sad... it seems my aging stomach can't handle copious amounts of Coke/drinks of the like, so I've had to give up my usual drink of bourbon and coke.

I've had to switch to clear mixers: vodka and lemonade is the drink of choice (necessity?) for now.

I have to grown to like those little pre-mixed shooters you can get at bottle shops, despite my wife calling them girly drinks.

Yea I have had trouble drinking Southo and Coke for a while now. My stomach just doesn't like it anymore. That's why I drink mead now :D

Those premixed shooters are good. There are quite a number of them you can get these days, tried all I have seen so far too.

Have you tried bourbon and lemonade? I dont like lemonade so my opinion isnt valid but alot of my mates drink it like that now days.

Those shooters are absolutely delicious I often buy them when party going. To save time mixing them up for everybody of course

[snaketales]

I might give that a shot... ha, shot, get it?

[1AZRAEL1]

Snakey, you should be shot for that :p

Haha, aww you had a bad experience didn't you? You know how to get over it? Have a night of random cocktail making but the base for every cocktail HAS to be cheap cask port. You haven't lived until you've experienced that (and the lols it provides :p). ;)

I'm back on the ol' Capn' Morgan Spiced Gold...I keep wanting to try others but this stuff is just too good

lol I enjoyed Port very much - it's just a deceptive bugger! I would like some Southern Comfort though, or some alize but gonna hold out for some cool toys I want first and maybe i'll drink as a celebration when i get them!

Sounds like you're not making your port related beverages filthy enough and you're getting caught out. It is very much the Decepticon in that regard, make your drink more feral and you'll be less likely to succumb to it's powers of evil.

I must confess I haven't dabbled in ye olde Southern Comfort a great deal. I seem to remember having some combination with it that was overly aniseedy (not that aniseed is bad, although star anise can be an overly potent mofo when cooking) which put me off a bit but maybe I should revisit....Anyone tried the new Jagermesiter mixers? The Raw ones are pretty divine!

[deadonarrival]

I might have to get some after work tomorrow everyone keeps saying they are good. I am on the Bundy OP Rum tonight got a bottle from duty free given to me aswell as a bottle of the jack Daniels 1915 gold medal which will not be cracked even though I want to try it

[snaketales]

Had a go at pre-mixed bourbon and dry last night. Not bad... kind of tastes like ginger beer.

[blackie]

todays aim

defeat slab of jack
defeat 1/2 slab of cruisers for 'pres' before we go out (yes girly, aim is for 12 in less than an hour :P )(and yes, i will have been drinking all day but will still pre drink before i go out)
defeat club
live

[snaketales]

looks like bourbon and dry is going to be my default drink now.. no ill-effects like I get from bourbon and coke.

Thanks to OTCA for keeping me drinking!!

[Bartrim]

I'm getting lazy. Bundy red pre-mixed is now my drink of choice. Bunny used to do a real nice super dry pre mix but they discontinued it around 2004... Yet I got one at Bon Jovi a couple of years ago...

[deadonarrival]

I spent $140 on 9 bottles of beer. Was it worth it? Hellz Yeah! Smallest was 400ml and not one under 6%. Can say for sure that I recommend Dark Hop: Hoppy Black Ale out of the lot I've tried so far but fair warning it is 8.5%

[Sharky]

anybody collect jim beam stuff? in particular the old car decanters? or want to collect them?

found a few hidden in a cupboard still full of the liquid. some from the 70's maybe

does anyone know any information, release dates or value etc etc if there is anyone interested i will take some photos.
