    A thread for all discussion of alcohol, recommendations, etc.



    Mod Note:

    I want to just remind everyone of the charter, specifically the ban on:
    • Telling people where to get fake IDs
    • Posting about where to get drink/get into a club if you're underage
    • Encouraging under age people to drink

    We also do not need posts glorifying excessive drinking.

    Posts of this nature will be deleted and you will be warned, infracted or banned as necessary.

    Danke.

    Trying to decide what my beer of choice will be for the 1st few weeks of college. Dare I go posh with bottles of Heineken? Or do I go cheap with cans of Tuborg or Bavaria?!

    Who knows!!

    Aye it makes sense alright. The plan is to go on a binge Saturday night, Sunday night and Monday night, so I'll need all the cans I can get my hands on :pac:

    But on the other hand bottles go down so much nicer :(

    I know i know, but sometimes we have to sacrifice the good. Like if you really want to be a posh lad, certainly be my guest. But it wont be a happy ending when your looking at the bottom of an empty bottle at 7.30

    Bavaria is what I had the first time I ever went out on the beer! It's disgusting.

    Bav I actually find to be lovely. I drank mostly Tuborg last year though.

    ANY cider whatsoever is a major nonononononononono!! Drank too much of it when I was 15 :P Put me off for life!

    Koppaberg is mank, it's so sugary. I don't understand how people drink it.

    Aspall cyder is where it's at (assuming you can find it)

    Us super sophisticated people drink craft ciders none of this bulmers/kopparberg/druids crap. Rekorderlig is the only popular one I drink.

    This stuff is unbelievably nice.

    As are most of the various weston's ciders. Om nom nom.

    And Aspalls. Delicious delicious aspalls. I even have one of the goblety glasses in my kitchen.

    can we please have a C&H Alcohol Recommendations Thread? Even if my impending move to college means I'm on something around Dutch's price point for a while...

    I've never had a proper craft cider in my life, like :P

    Where would one procure these ciders? The off-licences I've been in have had woeful selections of cider tbh.

    The Celtic Whiskey shop in town (Dawson St to be exact) is where I would buy my good cider.

    I'd rather be a Vodka drinker. It goes with anything. had someone telling me the other day try Vodka and Milk.... Eh... no thanks i like my milk they current state it is in.. has anyone tried that?

    I'd go with cider as a 2nd choice, but it has a bad fight with my gut :(

    Love that my original post on what beer to drink in college started this <3

    And lads, we're talking cheap college drink here, none of that fancy craft shtuff!

    Anyone ever have Kinsey or Tesco vodka? That stuff will kill. It may as well be paint stripper!!
