What's your poison?

[Lamentations]

Might have already been done but at the moment I am too lazy to check, sorry.

Of course I love beer, mostly local ones (Toohey's New, Toohey's Extra Dry, Carlton Draught, Carlton Cold, Little Creatures, Coopers, Blue Tongue, Cascade, Boag's) and  but also don't mind a bit of the Heineken or Carlsberg when I can afford it (only about same price as premium local beers like Crown Lager and Cascade Premium) and also love many of the Belgian abbey and monastery beers (Chimay Blue, Leffé).

After beer I would say Scotch Whisky is my main drink. Generally drink a bottle of this before going out (mix it with tonic zero, don't like it straight because I can only afford cheap blended scotch's and not the nice single malts), especially seeing you don't need to drink as much a volume as beer and also there are less calories, I guess.

After this would be rum and wine about even here  Have a nice local rum called Bundaberg Rum (Bundy) that is good for the price. Also Jägermeister is really nice on its own but horrible with red bull, and also nice with V (an energy drink from AU/NZ).

Not a fan of cocktails or premixes (not even rum'n'cola, etc.) and I can't stand vodka in any form unless it is free and I am already pretty tipsy.

How about everyone else?

Wine. I absolutely love wine.

[dester55]

vodka

[Ganon5]

Toohey's Extra Dry and Carlton Draught are my fav beers, which is 75% of what I drink. Fav spirit is definately whiskey, once went through a 700ml 37% bottle in 1 night (wasn't too good the next day). Therefore my fav mixer is whiskey and dry closely followed by Jagerbombs. Am I the only one that likes the taste of those?

[Lanna]

I like smirnoff and cocktail.

Jack Daniels and Coke tastes better than just plain Coke and I love Schnapps. That said, I mainly drink straight Vodka.


Also, I don't really drink much at all.

All tasted like shit.

Beer and wine taste horrible. Vodka doesn't taste good, but it's easier to get down. And I almost just threw up thinking about it. I must reiterate. Do not. Ever. Let ANYONE talk you into just "one more" once you think you've hit your limit. Especially if that one more is an entire cup of Vodka. And I mean one of those big-ass plastic cups, not a little one.

Also, Vodka with orange Fanta is surprisingly less bad tasting. The only alcoholic drink that I think legitimately tastes good is a Jack Daniels and Coke, to be honest. Everything else, just drink something that won't make you gag until you start getting a little light-headed feeling, then sip a beer or something and you'll be fine. I do not recommend chugging or multiple shots or anything like that unless you don't mind really regretting it the entire next day.

Beer and most high-proof alcohols taste absolutely horrid. Wine takes some getting used to, but you can grow to love it.

Beer doesn't taste horrible :/ Maybe you are all just Americans, in which case YOUR beer tastes horrid xD

:| Long lost twin?

These are my exact favourites, well apart from jäger bombs cos red bull tastes horrible, but jäger bombs with V instead are awesome. I always go through a bottle a night of whisky when drinking it (I have that before going out if I want to get really drunk)  700mL ones, anyway, and they are 40% usually. Have been buying the 1L ones lately because they are better value.

I have only tried 3 different brands of scotch and they are all blends - Johnny Walker Red, William Grant's, and Chival Regas. All nice. TEDs are great and I think I prefer Carlton Cold to Carlton Draught, especially when the local bottlo has them on special for the same price at $34 a slab.

I was like that for ages. Then I came to college and I think it's pretty obvious what my current opinion is.

TEDs is the cheapest beer at my uni tavern being $10 per jug so needless to say me and my mates drink a fair bit of it

[Signothorn]

I only drink a couple times a year so my tolerance is pretty low. However, I like pineapple vodka. The problem is it goes down like kool-aid and after 5 or six I don't remember how I got home or what or who I did. That's why I only drink anything other than beer if I'm crashing there or have a DD. When it comes to beer, I'm pretty much a sipper. Corona or Killian's but only 1 or 2.

Captain Morgan Spiced Rum

YES. Actually Cpt'n Morgan's EVERYTHIGN Rum, all of it is very good.

Also I like Mead. It is kinda like wine but fermented from honey instead of grapes and was the first alcohol made. I even have a drinking horn for it! You can get spiced mead, too, but it is generally pretty hot.

Yeah mate which uni you go to? At the bar here you can get $7 jugs/$3 schooners (although schooners are too small, when will we bring in half a litre as the standard like in Europe! :/) of Carlton, Tohhey's, etc. and once they did a deal on Stella Artois for $7 a jug is was awesome, but those days are gone the uni bar lost tonicularity.

I find it hard to get drunk on beer, but you can reach a nice stage of tipsy or drunkenness for very cheaply and I enjoy the taste. If those 5L mini kegs were not so expensive they would be the best, because 5L is a pretty good amount if you don't want to be unco-ordinated and acting stupid - it gets you pretty merry - and you can fill your own stein or something with it and it keeps chilled for hours. Beer is also good not only because it is refreshing and tastes good, but you never get a hang over from just beer (mixing drinks is what gets you hangovers). Also for those of you who don't like beer or can't handle alcohol too well, there is always light beer and premium light beers - we have some really nice ones here and I am sure there are some elsewhere (haven't tried any, though).

It is weird so many of you say you hate alcohol or never drink it. I didn't think not drinking was an option :| I only know one person who never drank or didn't like any kinds of alcohol (well he didn't when he was a certain age but a few years later he started drinking) and the reason for it was because his dad was a violent alcoholic. You guys don't drink just because of the taste, your age, the price, or you don't like the feelings?

Wait, wait. Is that the regular price of a jug? 1.25L? Because that's dirt cheap... ~5 or 6 standard drinks for $7. I go to CUT in Perth and some nights they have Toohey's jugs for $8 but every other day/night they're 10. And I agree that it's easy to drink a lot without getting stupid. 5 jugs between 4 in 2 hrs doesn't get you drunk but it certainly makes lectures more fun
