[color=#000000:post_uid1]Most often drunk is Jim Beam and Coke.
Want to lash out JD, or Wild Turkey or Makers Mark and Coke.
Favourite shot would be a Cocksucking Cowboy.
Not really a beer person will drink carlton cold if already half
pissed. *On a hot day like Strongbows easy to drink doesn't
even feel like you are drinking.
When I go out usually drink Vodka, lime and soda as the
Jim Beam tastes shocking when you are chewing gum *:D
Vary it later in the night with Vodka & redbull, Vodka and
Cranberry, Vodka and OJ etc.

I basically will drink anything, love cocktails and shots so
its never a problem if you got to bar and some big chested
girl made you forget the order.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Mal,

you basically drink a heap!
if that is your standard list for the night out... i worry for people trying to keep up with you![/color:post_uid0]

27-11-2002, 05:03 AM
[color=#000000:post_uid1]I do go out a lot but I don't drink that much. *Umm well
maybe I do. *But I am not an alco at all. *Those 3 drinks
at lunch on sunday were just for fun, not cause I needed
them. *Did I mention I like wine too. *Got about 60 laid down
on my wine rack and the liquers in the freezer.

To be serious I spend about $50/70 a night out on grog.
At $5 a pop so 10-12 drinks a night and thats from
say 11pm through till 10am on a sat night out so I can
still drive home afterwards. *

Mate the only way to really see if I do drink a lot and if
you can keep up with me, and see just how much fun an
over 30's big guy can have is to tag along one time or
better still organise a AstinaGT clubs and pubs night !!

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]skotch and milk is good, u should all try it.
a nice non-alcoholic drink is this "aroona" stuff. the rasberry & apple stuff is heaps good. u should all try it 2(if u ever see it).
wonder if it's be better wiv vodka[/color:post_uid0]

27-11-2002, 05:44 AM
[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]Scotch and milk!?!? Actually could be alright. I just bought a bottle when i was in Scotland, so i'll give that a go.

Fav beer: John Smiths Smooth (UK - creamy head, in between lager and bitter), Jelen Pivo (Yugoslav - 12%abv) or Tenants Velvet (Scots version of the first one).
Shot: I had last night - mixed red and blue aftershocks with baileys floating on top. YUM. Burns all inside, and leaves a spicy cinnamon and baileys taste in yer throat for the next half hour.
Fav bar order: Tia Maria and Coke.
Fav non-alc: LLB.
Wine?

Mal, I get the impression u like Vodka? :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]I prefer Jim Beam to Vodka but as I said before when I'm out
clubbing and eating chewy the coke tastes ****. I also
get the Vodka's for $3 with my Gold card at Empire so
it becomes a cheap night that way.
Wanna try something a bit bitey try chilli vodka. Now that
gives a wild aftertaste !!

Johnnie Walker Black do free tasting sessions all the time
in the capital cities. Think the site is journeyoftaste.com.au.
You get abou 9 free drinks and its a good way to spend a
couple of hours. I used to drink scotch but really cant go
back after bourbon, I like the sweetness but even I have been
4 times :p

White: Tumut Estate White (dry white wine, really nice)

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Mr Shadow,
* * * *Have you tried the Maglieri Lambrusco. *Australian has
a black and red label. *Is my fav Lambrusco. *Reds I like too
many but my favs would be Jimmy Watson Cab Sav, Rouge
Homme Pinot Noir, Mountview Shiraz and Peter Van Gent
Anything !!! *For a nice cheap red go the McWyghams Black
Label. *Not a real white person probably Sacred Hill Traminer
Reisling. * For something real lush try Red Hill Liqeur Muscat *:D

Regards

Mal
p.s this is what the Maglieri bottle looks like:

MrShadow
27-11-2002, 09:31 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid0]No, I haven't. *We only tried the Caprari beacuse we had it at a restaurant and liked it. *I'll try and get the Maglieri Lambrusco. *You should try the Caprari, it's a slightly fizzy red, very good.

It can be hard to find, up until a few weeks ago, we had to order it in by the case (which isn't a real problem :;): ), so if you can't get it and want to try it, let me know and I'll send you a bottle.[/color:post_uid0]

BigMal
27-11-2002, 09:47 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid1]Think you may find the Maglieri a little hard to find as well.
There are one or two Liqourlands close to me that have it
so I know exactly where to go but it did take quite a bit
of searching before that. Any probs let me know and we
can do a swap a bottle each next time we have a cruise
or meeting.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]lambrusco is what is served at cheap functions at dodgy reception centres!! eww... thankfully my parents have grown out of the cheap wine stage...upgrade to queen elizabeth wines.. .haha... huuuge upgrade, maybe 1 or $2 more a bottle...it's all ****e![/color:post_uid0]

MrShadow
27-11-2002, 10:33 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'd agree with you that most other Lambruscos aren't all that good, but you should try any of the ones mentioned previously. Many commentators have said that the Caprari is a decent drop, as for the ones mentioned by Mal, I haven't tried them, so I can't comment. Give it a go, you'll be surprised.[/color:post_uid0]

Rupewrecht
27-11-2002, 10:37 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid0]don't mind a drop of Windy Peak Reisling...more a white drinker than a red.[/color:post_uid0]

BigMal
27-11-2002, 10:43 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid1]There is a time and a place for everything. The Jimmy Watson
is about $30 a bottle & I go Moet every now and again so I
am not afraid to lash out but every now and again a nice
sangria style drink is nice. Thats when the Lambrusco comes
in. Same as I like a $5 late harvest sauterne wine with
cheese. Its all mood and people and venue orientated.
Love it all though !!

[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]Well, aren't we all the piss heads :p

Fav beer: James Sqires (nice Amber ale), but if in Tassie get yourself some cascade draught.

Fav Spirit: Scotch and coke (unless it is the JW Blue lable found on my bar, then it's on the rocks).

Fav Shooter: CS Cowboys

Fav White Wine: Montara Chard (2000)

Fav Red Wine: mmmm too many to choose from but chepstowe have a nice pinot.


Dan - I notice you like the Windy Peak. Nice Yarra Valley Wine from De Bortoli Winery in Dixons Creek. My best mate lives on the hill between De Bertoli's and Fergussons.

If you like red, try the Fergussons 'Jeremy" Shiraz. Nice drop that.

As for lambrusco - last time i had that i don't remember much past hangin my head over the balcony and having a yak to the fernery. Not a good night that one...[/color:post_uid0]

27-11-2002, 11:08 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Oooooooo, i forgot one...

How about a nicely aged [10 years is the minimum] bottle of Glenfarclas Pure Single Malt Whiskey.

In the words of Homer J Simpson, "Hmmmmmmm, whiskey" [don't think he actually said this though!?!]

Glenfarclas is about $70 a bottle for the 10 year stuff, but it's pure gold liquid! I've been to the distillery in Scotland, very interesting ****! Try it, and see.....

[color=#000000:post_uid1]After doing the JW Black Tasting don't know if I could do
single malts. Too peaty. The Talisker was nice but still
the black blend or even better the Blue blend would be
lush. Bit of Trivia they will only be making blue for another
18 years as thats all the supply of 1 on the scotchs where
the distillery closed down. They wont change the blend
so no more blue !!

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Think I tasted that at the JW Black tasting.
Real smokey !!!

Hey all bit of trivia. *Went to Liqourland last night to buy
a couple of bottles of Maglieri (Got the taste for it after
all the talking) so anyway I also bought some of the piccolo
champaigne bottles as I need to buy some champaigne
for the social club so thought I would do some tasting
first. *So I drank 2 of them on the walk home and I tell
ya after 2x200ml bottles I could hardly get the key in da door.
They are only 2 standard drinks each so thats 4 but I
was wasted. *Ended up having cheese and crackers for
dinner as was to pickled to cook. *Had another 2 watching
the TV and then just poured myself into bed.
I can drink a bottle of Jim Beam and walk home but $16
of champaigne and I was out for the count.

Thinking of buying 2 more for the walk home tonight *:D

I am off to see Harry Potter a friend has a spare ticket.
Otherwise I bought Lord of the Rings for my PS2 so I
would have needed all my wits to do the old workout

So may have just done 1. For $3.50 just like buying
a softdrink for the walk home.

that Cougar and Apple juice taste good together. Is it like
the add where you just drank whatever the busty blonde
put in front of you or did you run out of coke one night and
think what the hell. *Do Tell.
