Pints vs Shorts

kaimera · 08-09-2002 2:54am #1

Whats your preference-the traditional pint or the new age short??

Tis just something that came up during a few drinks after work one night [I work in a bar]

I for one am partial towards a pint of Ale.
Used to drinks the shorts when I'd go out with the soul purpose of getting drunk butt there are only so many morning you can wake up with a splitting ****ing hangover!

So which do you prefer??

I gave up drinking when I was 21 and realised it was a waste of time and money. Sadly some people never seem to get bored of puking all over the place, pretending to like idiots and waking up with not very good looking women. Sometimes you have to realise when it's time to grow up. Now, I only have a couple of glasses of wine at family get togethers.

So neither shorts nor pints.

Pints normally. When I drink, I'm normally in the Pub/Club having a relaxing, enjoyable night with my friends.

Shorts are more of an alcohol delivery system. I drink shorts occasionally when I'm in a night club but normally I steer clear of the top shelf.

usually double jd and coke or double smirnoff and lime... either i could drink all night.. and have.. theres a certain "ouch my pocket" element to it though when you wake up the next morning to be told by the hotel staff that they you went through a whole bottle.

Pints in ze the pub, Guinness if there isn't a rush to the bar. Otherwise shots.

azezil · 08-09-2002 3:41pm

pints.. gave up drinking shots after meh 20th bday, i'll say no more about that

Cake Fiend · 08-09-2002 3:50pm

Depends on the night. Pubs - pints. Clubs - shots. If I mix, I'm in danger of throwing up, and I'll always feel like crap in the morning.

kaimera · 08-09-2002 6:54pm

Had a bad experience with a few naggens of JD and DoD 2.1 one night...turned me off shorts altogether.

Has anybody tried the new "Sidekick"? [tis flavoured schnapps in a plastic container that sits ontop of your pint glass]

I haven't..don't intend to either, tis just they came into the bar the other day and I was wondering waht they are like.

Acidflash · 08-09-2002 7:04pm

Sidekicks are nice,esp the apple, not very strong though.

In answer to the question, Pints in the pub and shorts in a club.

No, not necessarily, part of growing up and maturing is knowing your limits and not getting totally smashed everytime you go out which must have been all you did so it seems, not giving it up all togther.

Back on topic pints for me.

Damn you tails i wanted to say that!

I dont drink to get drunk, i drink to socalise.
I havnt puked or woken up beisde an ugly hoe in a long time due to drink.
btw im only 19.

Pints for me normally, unless I'm on the piss, if so I'll throw in a sambuca, peach schnapps and jaegermeister combination (€1.50 each in this place I know)

Also, and i hate to admit it, peach schnapps and orange is the tastiest drink in the world.

the celtic tiger · 10-09-2002 7:30am

usually pints. in a club or a long session i'll throw in the odd aftershock or sambuca though.

po0k · 10-09-2002 6:04pm

pints, of weissbier generally, though i'll drink cider on occasion, guinness and even budweiser (when free and there's no franizkaner).
I hardly ever wake up with a hang over.

Cider makes my legs sore, but that could be something else.

Wolf · 10-09-2002 6:08pm

For me i voted pint cuz it my fav
Altough a normal night out is 6 - 7 pint then 3 - 4 shorts. Depends on money as well. But i always start with a pint then move onto shorts if i get that far or stay out.

Kolodny · 11-09-2002 5:44pm

Usually pints in an after-work-cant-get-too-drunk-in-front-of-my-colleagues capacity. Shots if Gordon and Mercury_Tilt are around.

Gordon · 11-09-2002 7:37pm

Mwahahaaaa, see you at the mod shottage seshage Kolodknee

Beruthiel · 13-09-2002 1:11pm

had a bad experience with the beer, never touch the stuff now,
a few voddies and coke do the trick for me

Pepe LeFrits · 13-09-2002 1:16pm

I've given up shots, sticking to pints now.

amp · 13-09-2002 1:52pm

I didn't vote. I start off with lovely pints of Heiniken and then when the foundations are nicely laid, I build the rest of the house using usually Jack Daniels and coke or similar bourbon.

I wouldn't dare to pick between the two. Pints are the win. The weight of it is perfect, the glistening moisture on the glass, that first frothy mouthful.

Then there's the sweet cold taste of Jd and coke which seem to fuse together to make a drink that isn't as heavy as beer, but yet requires slow drinking to fully appreciate.

Don't ask me to choose, it's just not fair.

kaimera · 13-09-2002 7:56pm

Sowwy amp..I canent add a Atari Jag option just for you. Tisn't fair.

btw..pints of Heineken?!

Looking at it, maybe I went a tad OTT on the shorts when I used to drink them.
I mean, how many guys drink JD [& doubles] straight and then have a brandy or aftershock?

*shudders* the memories...:(

LoGiE · 14-09-2002 3:39pm

It's got to be pints for me... Bulmers or Miller i'm not to pushed:) I'd only add a sprinkling of shorts on special occasions
