What's with teh ghey and alcohol consumption?

Dr. Baltar

I drink pretty much everything except cider.
If I'm going on a mad one, I'll drink vodka. If I'm having a normal night in, it's cans of beer, and if I'm going for one or two it's a pint(s) of Guinness.

Almost every gay man I know only drinks vodka. Has this been anyone else's experience? What do you drink?

Weird thread I know; but it just jumped into my head there.

In the Poll select the drink that you prefer the most, as opposed to the one you drink the most.

I drink vodka and im straight its just a better drink to have than lager or cider,its tastier and less liquid in your system too.

Cider

Pint of Smithwicks would probably be my usual.

Don't drink anymore but I used to enjoy a nice cool budweiser now and again. I graduated to beer from the likes of Smirnoff Ice and WKD.

And cider is pretty much the only thing I drink now! :pac: Preferably Rekorderlig or Kopparberg but Bulmers will also suffice.

Hate beer. Used drink vodka and Red Bull all the time but it's too expensive. I'll occasionally get a cocktail if there's a special occasion and I'm in a place that sells them.

Then when it comes to shots I'd either go for tequila or apple sours. Maybe Jaegar at a push. NEVER sambuca.

The dragon does an offer on vodka, so I think that's big factor!

Also, people (not just gay), drink vodka in clubs because pints pulled in clubs tend not to be nicest!

If you drink in the gay pubs (Front Lounge or Panti, you will see the majority will be drinking pints).

It was hard to decide between vodka and beer, but I chose vodka since it's the one I try to stick to on nights out. I have beer at house parties or at home (like now ) because I find the bathroom breaks too annoying when out and about.

I them both though

You're like my evil twin. Sambuca is my favourite shot.

Beer (particularly German and Czech ones), and red wine. No faffing around. :pac:

Other for me! Naimly shots mostly purple haze ! or half goldslagger half jack daniels!! Or Green Diesel Ohh but i usally have a pint a bud to start the night off. I ofter have a vodka black and white too tho!!

Cider

I have tried an almond white wine while in the US. I would have absolutely filled my case with it on the way home if I didnt need my clothes.

Aishae

Cider

Can't see the pole via the phone... It depends on the situation. If I'm having a drink at home with mum or that - White wine NOT Chardonnay! Occasionally red.
If I'm drinking out with mam it's brandy and ginger ale
On a night out or put with anyone else I stick to budweiser - better value than a piddling glass of wine

Any lager is my preference because it doesn't floor me like most drink.

Rarely have vodka.

Vodka
When it's mixed well with something it's very enjoyable, i like the strong taste and i'm able to handle it quite well
i do enjoy cider too but i can't be having pints when out in a club or anything, id be off to the toilet every 5 minutes.

i'm never having jaegerbombs again, if you want to know what amnesia is like, have a good few.

i like wine with a meal or something, can be very enjoyable when coupled with the right food.

however, every beer i have ever tasted makes me heave, rotten stuff

I have noticed that actually, not all the gay guys I know drink vodka but a high number do, two drink it exclusively. Kinda odd. But there are guys who drink cider and beer. As for myself I like...er...vodka and coke, but I also enjoy Kopparberg. Big fan of cocktails but way too expensive. As for beer and most cider I can't stand them. That's annoying if I'm ever in a pub I don't have much to drink.

Vodka

In the pre-recession days, it was Vodka and Redbull all the way. Then I got poor and had to change my drinking habits:(. Now I drink Kepplers or Kopperberg (4 cans of Kepplers for €5! Yum)

I never go into pubs during the summer, just go to festivals every couple of weeks and this summer I've started to get a taste for Buckfast again:o...... Hadn't drank it since my youth. I know it has a rep as a skangers drink, but I'm not a skanger...Honest!!

Beer

Guinness on both counts. Though I rarely drink these days.
Far too easy to drink, had 9 last time I was out... so very very sick later that night and the next day *shudder*

Vodka, because it gets you drunk a lot faster and cheaper than buying a load of alcopops.

Killer_banana

Cider

I love Captain Morgan's and coke but I tend to end up drinking beer 'cause it's cheaper. Love me some bavaria with blackcurrant.

I stay away form vodka mostly, doesn't agree with me but if I do drink it I mix it with cranberry.

I go through phases of loving and hating cider. I tend to drink mixed berry and pear more than apple.

Favourite drink in the world is probably a pina colada but they're rare enough in my experience. As for shots tend to have jager or occasionally tequila.

I drink wine when I'm drinking with my mammy.

Edit: also love me some Guinnes but my mum has it rammed into my head that's it's ridiculously fattening.

ninty9er

Alco Pops (Bacardi Breezer, Smirnoff Ice ect.)

I prefer spirits, mainly vodka or Southern Comfort, but sometimes Jameson witha mixer of some description, but I would normally have a few beers first on a night out.

what the hell!

Cider

Usually beer at the start of the night (bottles) and then jameson when we get to a club. Had Captain and coke all night on friday night and i thought i was going to die the following day! Way too sweet and awful hangover!

The worst hangover I ever had was form Captain Morgan actually. I tend to drink enough water before going to sleep and as soon as I wake up to avoid hangovers now though, or at least bad ones. (a tip from my mum, wow mentioned three times in one thread, think that must be record of some sort)

Rum is the only thing I drink. Not proper rum, it has to be Morgans It's fantastic with Fanta. They taste like those orange and ice cream yokes I used to love when I was a kid. Nom nom nom

My mate does this, says they taste like the Joker ice-lollys you get in the shops.

Usually I'd drink vodka or beer, depending on what mood I'm in. I'd never drink cider again. Disgusting drink.

Also love doing shots too. Anything apart from sambuca or tequila really.

At a recent family wedding I has been drinking vodka since 3pm but got bored with the taste and moved to beer at around 9pm. Safe to say I was completely bollixed at around 10pm! (Didn't go home until 2am though!)

Either non-American lagers or if I'm feeling like an old git, ale. Heading to a gig in Cardiff SU on Wednesday which has Brains SA from keg so I think I'll be an old git for the night.

jaffacakesyum

Cider

I pretty much drink anything Except Alcopops. Horrible neon looking sugary drinks!!

I'm a beer girl at heart though. Would usually start off with a few cans/pints and then if heading out to a club move on to spirits and/or shots. Preferably German or Czech beer but would drink Heinaken as well. To be honest, as a poor student, I drink whatevers cheapest in the club so usually Jaegerbombs or Vodka+Coke.

My favourite spirit to drink is rum though. I don't understand why Vodka is so popular when you can have a much better tasting spirit like rum!!

Vodka is a tasteless spirit. It's why so many people drink it. The true drinkers would appreciate Bacardi or Captain Morgans or a nice whiskey any day over vodka.

That said, I do drink vodka. I would just prefer rum

All this talk of drink is making me wanna go out :pac:

Bleugh. Your tastebuds are inside out or something! :P

Only time I ever had sambuca was when I won a bottle of it in a raffle. It looked like ink and tasted rotten. Ended u giving the bottle to a friend of mine.

Typical; I finally win a raffle and I get a prize I hate. >.<

not a single vote for alcopops - i almost feel sorry for the little things. i rarely drink them.. theyre too easy to drink and im not overly keen on fizzy sugary drinks anyway

But does it count if I drink double vodka with Smirnoff Ice?

gave up drinking last march, but before then it was either vodka, cider or lager depending on the night out

Anything?

MOJITO! (Smirnoff one is the best in pub, though vodka doesn't hold a candle to a proper rum + brown sugar)

And wine (red) and good beer (any of the porterhouse brands, chocolate stout omg!).

Contrary to the theme of this post, I'm not really an alcoholic. :pac:
