LemonPlant

Hello,

When you really treat yourself to the max, what Alcohol do you buy?.
Please also say what beer you always drink also.

thanks.

Smithwicks

Lucifer MorningStar

I treat myself to a bottle of Powers every forthnight. Whiskey is the way to go. Jaysus, I love me hot ones.

MadYaker

Buckfast or Blue Moon.

The Backwards Man

Remy Martin.

Neat.

Anything cheaper is too ****e.

Anything dearer is too pretentious.

Usually drink Bulmers. Treat myself with cooled Bulmers.

Snooty I ain't.

Depends what you mean. I was unemployed for a while so I promised myself once I got a job again I'd buy a really good bottle of whiskey with my first pay packet to celebrate. 2 months ago I treated myself to a lovely bottle of Redbreast 21yr old Single Pot Still Whiskey

Nice,

I'm very very very new to drinking, but I do treat Alcohol with the up most respect, and only get happy when I drink (never anger

Question:
Do different types of Whiskey give different types of effects?.

Thank you.

Thought this thread was going to be about sterilising wounds at home.

Second with the bucky.

Or a lovely bottle of Aldi Red Wine. Not just the generic bottom shelf one that says 'Red Wine' on it- I go for one with the name of a grape actually stated on the label.

I'm a class act.

I love Scotch.
Scotchy scotch scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly.

dockleaf

Cremant.

RoadhouseBlues

Huzzar Vodka. A few shots. And cans of heineken

Vito Corleone

I rarely treat myself, but if I do Jack Daniels. Cheap liqueur or Whiskey would be what I usually drink. Bulmers if I'm going to be socialising over a long period.

LemonPlant

What about the default/most common whiskey?

paddy whiskey??

Lyaiera

Weihenstephaner Vitus in the pub, and a bottle of gin for at home.

anncoates

In pubs, Jameson probably has the edge. Although I came by some Tullamore Dew recently that was excellent (because it was free).

I thought this was about self-medicating.

Howard the Duck

A few Belgium Beers. Chimay or Leffe , nothing that fancy

pandaboy

Gripe water. Keeps me young.

Lucozade or a glass of fanta is all I touch these days. Suffered at the hands of the disease for many a year. Clean over 13 months now and never felt better.

RoadhouseBlues

Anyone try those bottles of Samuel Adams in Tesco. I think its 6 bottles for 11 Euro. Its grand though.

Well done. I think a lot of it is boredom too though if that makes sense. Just getting out.

If I want to treat myself, I do it by buying things that won't give me a headache and/or be pissed out of me a few hours later.

So that would be Cream Donuts or a nice meal or like something useful you know.

I'm a rare breed it seems. When I drank, I never drank just one or two for the taste or pleasure. Could never understand the point of that. However, neither did I drink to get sh1tfaced like so many seem to do. It was never a badge of honour for me how many I could down or how legless I could get. I drank to get merry on a night out. Drinking at home seems pointless to me. Popping into a pub in the afternoon or after work for one or two seems pointless to me.

Can Of FOSTERS, but if it was something really brilliant or great that happened! well then I would have two cans of FOSTERS.
For example if I spotted the 18.25 Belfast to Dublin express before my other Train Spotting friends, well that would be 'that special occasion' when I would have two cans of FOSTERS, but if my friend spotted the 07.25 service train from Drogheda to Dublin before I did! well that would be 'that special occasion' when I would only treat myself to one can of FOSTERS, There was this one time when I ZZZZZ

fleet_admiral

a few pints of guinness, then i mix it with mc ardles to make a black and tan

Supergurrier

A four pack of Zywiec Polish beer is my poison.

On more special occasions a bottle of dark Chimay (Blue label) or Duvel

So you used to smoke almost 7 grand worth of fags a year (Im going by your cig) and you think 1-2 drinks at lunchtime is pointless ???

Cmon now, even a good meal gets pooped out

Good for you.

But please. well in my opinion just because you don't drink, that means nothing. I know a two men, who drink, and let me tell you they're real ****ing men with pure goodness inside them. unlike some of the folks that are anti-drink, feck em.

No offence meant Lemonplant, but I feel like I'm in a Peter Sellers movie reading your posts and threads :D

Oh, you'll get no argument from me about the fags. Most useless pointless expensive addiction ever.

A good meal may be pooped out but I didn't risk a headache after it finished its journey.

I don't think the social aspect of an afternoon/lunchtime drink is pointless but if my goal was not to get merry I personally would prefer to drink something that I actually liked the taste of or that refreshed me.

I'm not an anti drink ex drinker btw. I never developed a habit nor did I binge drink in my day. The only reason I effectively stopped drinking about 10 years ago was that I couldn't be arsed any more and found there was better more important things I could be spending the money on. I've no problem with drinkers unless they keep me awake at night with their loudmouth antics on the return leg from the pubs. I may personally find nearly all aspects of drinking pointless at this stage but have no problem with others enjoying a few.

Unfortunately for my finances it took another 8 years to start breaking my actual substance addiction which is nicotine. Financial aspect dealt with now that €30 a month of E-Juice gives me a healthy pointless nicotine fix instead of €560 a month of Tobacco Cigarettes.

midleton rare, neat.

osarusan

Usual whiskey = Teacher's Highland Cream (7 euros a bottle here).

Reward whiskey = Green Spot/Glenlivet/Midleton Rare/Taketsuru 17. I reward myself rarely though, given their prices.

Depends. If its a night out then a shoulder of vodka mixed with west coast cooler, if I don't want to get too drunk. If its a wild one, vodka and white wine. If its a night in with a movie, 1-2 bottles of wine, if I'm drowning sorrows it's 2-3+ bottles of wine, or maybe vodka.

Don't like beer I'm allergic and it makes me full so I have to stop drinking early on

Galwayguy35

I like a hot whiskey so would drink Jameson, started drinking Henessey recently again as well after getting the mother of all hangovers from it about 14 years ago and even looking at it made me sick.

The old man used to get good Poitin and it was grand as well, very hard to get the good stuff now though.

smellmepower

Whiskey sour or two if I'm out somewhere that does decent ones,3 or 4 bottles of Punk IPA or Innis and Gunn from the off license if I'm drinking at home.

Ha Ha, you can make all the excuses you want LemonPlant, but you wont have hands to wipe your arse tomorrow

Buckfast. I wish I was joking.

WilyCoyote

A bottle of wine every night. Gran Marnier, Gran Gala or Coconut Rum if I need to hit the spot quicker.
Not snobbish but I like to have a good night's sleep - undisturbed by visits to the bathroom.

Oh Lemonplant, you are fast becoming my new favourite poster

The outcome??
I would put a tenner on digestives pyrotechnics followed closely by weeping and wailing to a higher deity. Then, if you're lucky, A&E. If not, the morgue.
