what do you drink?
what's good?
and what shouldn't i waste my money on?

that's it pretty much... an ad on of the tap discussion of Tooheys New in Victoria and Queensland in the afro thread

Had Boag's from tap on the weekend which was pretty good... normally get Bulmers if they've got it on tap but don't normally go to pubs with Bulmers, Pure Blonde and Extra Dry normally from tap, Carlsberg at the football... Carlsberg, Heineken or Stella for home, but i did have Tooheys New out of a can the other day and was surprisingly passable

Scotch for me!

Mate bought me one of these for my 18th, it's been empty for a while, but i keep it in my room for novelty purposes.

I'll only drink Tooheys New, VB, etc at places like the footy, But yer, normally i'll just have Heineken, or European beer.

I don't mind TEDs or Hahn Super Dry.
Anybody tried that Cascade Green Beer - supposedly it's meant to help the enviroment....wtf? Tastes like cats piss IMO.

Can't stand beer, wine, champagne, basically only drink spirits straight, or mixed.

Don't really have a favourite Scotch/Bourbon. Probably Makers Mark if I had to choose one.

I'm the same. I'll only drink Beer if there is nothing else and wine if I've got no money. I'd rather drink spirits straight than drink beer.

Really loving Russian Standard at the moment, and Vanilla Vodka with Coke thus creating Vanilla Vodka coke:lol:

i reckon that's the best beer you can buy from a bottle shop, not because of the brand but because of the different taste you get out of the keg compared to the bottle, tastes alot more crisper compared if you had it out of a bottle or a can

use to be a big strongbow drinker (yes i got heaps for it) back in my younger days of backyard parties and stealing other people's booze 8-[

so that's where it all went

Over the weekend - Wild Turkey, Pints of Carlton/Boags and lots of Red bull and Vodka (only thing to keep me awake). Few others thrown in, but that was base.

My drink of choice at the moment is Peroni Leggera. Love most alcohol types though. Yet to get into many red wines though.

this was at the time where everybody drank double black smirnoff's which we're awesome, so nobody noticed if one or two went missing

has anybody had UDL's before, i just remember the apartment next to us at schoolies 08 that they all just drank that and made this fucking massive wall with it

Yeah had them before but not by choice. Depends what flavour you get I guess.

Have you tried Grey Goose vodka? Keep seeing it for like 80-100 bux a bottle, trying to figure out why it's so expensive, is it really that good?

Might have to try it. Has to be good to be that expensive.

Saving up right now for a 2L bottle of JIm Beam for $80 right now:lol:

Finlandia is an underrated Vodka IMO. Cheap, but very good. Finnish, do it well.

Haha, nice. Gonna save up one day, and buy one of those 4.5L bottles, of Johnny Red.

Save your money. :P

Jim Beam Black - Worst excuse for a 'higher' quality drink that I've ever seen.

Edited by imnofreak: 22/3/2010 10:23:53 PM

Whats with the ABB.

Anti-Beer brigade.

Can't stand wine unless it's Bubbly. Not a big fan on straight sprits, don't mind the odd Jim Bean & Coke.

DAB Dortmunder Action Braurie.

The local beer from city of Dortmunder Germany.

Im always trying different German beers, never found a bad one. MUST be imported though, not brewed under licence by fosters.

TBH any beer that follows a purity law is usually good. Becuase they have no added shit you raley get a bad hangover :P

:lol:

I figure $80 for 2L of drinkable bourbon. It may not set the world on fire but it's alcohol that isn't putrid:lol:

And I agree Funly the Finnish do Vodka very well, but because it's cheaper and they aren't Russian it isn't seen as good. It's like some people think Russian Vodka is the be all and end all.

(Proper) Russian vodka is the be all and end all. But there's some other countries who don't do it too badly either.

But how often do you actually see people buy proper Russian vodka on a regular basis. It's always Fucking Smirnoff:lol:

biggest waste of alchol... Johnnie Walker Black Label on NYE when i was too pissed to taste anything when i had it, and for some reason there was Johnnie Walker Blue Label which i thought i wasn't worthy of (was house sitting at a mate's relo's with him and we could have anything we wanted to)

There are not enough words to describe how bad Smirnoff is:p The joys of having a Russian Uncle though, you get to taste good vodka, and get told an interesting tip on how to store it (Get a 2L coke bottle, cut off the top, just above the label, fill it with water, and put the Vodka bottle in that, and then in the freezer).

Beer tastes like shit.

Rum or bourbon for me.

Big weekend this coming one. Someone tell me how many standard drinks there are in a 750ml bottle of jim beam deluxe.

Shouldnt it be 22?

Depends how cheap I am being but generally on a night out I will go through most of the following:

TEDS
New
Carlton

Bundy Draught
Bundy Red
Scoth and soda
Jim Beam and Coke
Jack Daniels and coke
Woodstocks
SoCo lemon lime
MoVo/Vodka Redbull
Jagerbombs
Scotch and lemonade with lime
Amaretto and coke
Sambucca and coke
A random drink with some Absynth


Not a massive beer fan but will down them with my mates.

Edited by guest: 23/3/2010 08:46:05 AM

its all about soft drinks.......


creame soda, fanta pineapple, fanta grape, coke etc..:d

Fire Engines (red lemonade not creaming soda) takes the cake.

Kirks Creaming Soda.

eeeyyyyyy your the driverrr *messes your hair and spills my drink*

hahaha to all...

and no, not CREAMING SODA....creme soda...

If I can get my hands on these...
Bulmers pear on a hot day over ice
Budvar
Hendricks Gin
Makers Mark
Sailor Jerrys rum with ginger beer

But other than drink pretty much anything, at the moment loving fat yak pale ale and whale pale ale on tap

Ginger Beer. Lemon, Lime and Bitters. Vanilla Coke. :D

thats it, no one is spilling drink in the car...you can walk home

Best. Drink. Ever.

EDIT: Compensating for something david?

Edited by Funky Munky: 23/3/2010 09:30:51 PM

Could you find a bigger picture?

Did you wanna get a bigger fucking picture david?

And Hahn Super Drys are now the offical beer of the Socceroos. I just bought a 6-pack up the road on the way home from Uni :lol:

:lol:

I can get a bigger picture if you want... hahaha

If it is then that should be enough for one night.

Bit of background info Im only new to the drinking, my position was it was kinda pointless but I have been turned and shown the light. Still not a big beer fan I spose that will take a while to get used to. I've had, Carlton's, Coopers and Cascades and didn't really like it but was then introduced to the spirits and my position on alcohol has changed raspberry UDL is amazing.
At the Grand Final on Saturday my newly turned 18 mate brought some grog for some chicks and got a free promo Cruiser brand beer which FYI tastes like shit and drinking it warm in an alley near the GW just before the march didnt help.

that better have vodka in it or your driving me home, if not it has not place here

Been a while since I had Vodka and Orange Juice:lol:

90% Vodka 10% OJ. Never seen OJ so clear:lol:

Brandy + Orange juice - always drink it at christmas cause dad buy loads of brandy.


Brandyjuice. :D

The first person to mention Cougar (excluding this post) :P (unless its saying to avoid it) should smack themselves.

5 Cougars thanks :lol:

Hmmm, before GCU games the drinks of choice were either a pint a super dry, or an Inner Circle and coke. IC + Coke at Skilled Park is dreamy. Oh i also got a reputation with a couple of other boys for, only on big occasions (which was most games) of sharing a bottle of jagermeister straight. That was the shit, i love Jager.

Ever since the end of the season though its been a german beer called Oettinger Pils, fucking beautiful stuff. It comes in a 6pack and they are all pint cans, i get it at Dan Murphys for $13 a 6 pack, or $31 for a carton (24 Bottles).



Edited by shaker: 23/3/2010 10:18:31 PM

fuck that's cheap (or maybe that's just sydney prices being too high) how hard do you have to look to find it or is it pretty widely distributed

Gonna have to ask my cousin tomorrow if they stock it in their bottle shop. Will have to try it.

Fucking love this:d


+

=

Ive seen it at both Dan Murphys and BWS so im guessing its pretty widely available.

One of my mates drinks it cos he reckons it's nice.....wtf. He earns twice as much as me and drinks Cougar, I'd rather lick the sweat from between Oprah's fat creases than drink Cougar.

Whyte & Mackay is quality scotch, very smooth. Especially the pre-mix cans, although they're hard to find so usually I settle for JW or turn to Beam.

I'm a part time wine connoisseur and reckon you can't go past anything sweet from the Rutherglen region. Highly reccomend Bill's Ambrosia (super sweet red wine) from Chambers Estate and the Tokay or Muscats that are produced at All Saints.

I'll pretty much try anything, but have never had a taste for beer, rum or sambuca/ouzo.

dont want to knock you guys or anything, but just a general question that i have always wondered about....

how do you manage to drink beer and alcohol even though you know that you may get wasted? you could wake up the next day with a hangover? and it costs a fair bit too?

LOLOLOL. The after effects are all part of the fun. It tastes good and makes everything more fun. Whats not to like?

Shaker = Blyth?

I don't know about other people but for me it's an escape. When I drink I tend not to give a fuck what's going wrong in my life and just have fun.

Waking up with a hangover has it's plusses:lol: It's a sign that a great night was had and gives you an excuse to eat the greasiest food you can find:lol:

wah?

I dont drink it to escape (most of the time). I drink it just because I enjoy the buzz I get and because I enjoy the taste. Thats why I dont drink things that I dont like the taste of.

I drink coz I love the taste of my favourite drinks, and tbh, I love getting drunk. It's fun for me, and that's why I do it. Plus I never get hangovers, so I don't have to worry about that.

Wheat beer is so much better than lager...
Anyone drink Hoegaarden, Fransiskaner, Paulaner, Shofferhoffer etc... ?? German and Belgian beers are awesome

I've never got to the "smashed" stage but the bit before then where you lose inhibitions and just unwind and have some fun is awesome and when you have plenty of mates around doing the same thing you can understand it more.

I'd be deeply offended by that if I were you.

I love Hoegaarden and Paulaner but they're rather expensive. Some of the belgian beers going around are great. Shoffenhoffer is a little too fruity for my tastes.

Right now I'm drinking...

Has anyone had this before?

Joffa? I'd be interested to know if its good. Seen it at Dan Murphys and a few other places... might buy it when I have the cash. Very intruiging

i have never had the pleasure mate, although I must say I am intrigued...I think I just may check it out and let you know.

Afro that's a Light Beer by the bottle... don't tell me your a soft cock

No, I realised my mistake shortly after I posted that image. And my Full strength becks lager made me pay for that by spilling on me when I opened a second bottle.

oh that's alright sir, just aslong as you make precautions next time sir, cheerio *walks off twirling baton*

I dont understand, whats offensive about it?

Being called Blyth is a genuine insult to your intelligence tbh.

Much better.

Edited by afromanGT: 25/3/2010 12:20:28 AM

Blyth talks to himself on the forums with 3> multis.....

you better go back and have a look for Blyth from a couple months ago... did he get banned or did he just leave?

I got given a bottle of that last week to try shall have a taste and report back. Need to get myself some more distilled water :x

Red Creaming Soda ftw. Or any Supashake. Japanese vending machine coffee is pretty sweet as well.

He just had another hissy fit and left. He'll be back in about a month by my reckoning. With a new ethnic minority as a multi. Probably a South African living in Barbados or something.

It's probably easier to distill your own.

ok i get it now.

Found a Weihenstephaner at my local BWS just before. Its crystalised wheat beer from Germany. Really takes me back to my time there. Not much tastes like it but its absolute quality.

Is it being imported by woolworths or did you just get lucky? I might check it out.

I'm guessing its through Woolworths, as Wagga isn't really one to import random beers... Particular chain bottle shops. Definitely check it out if you can - I'm sure there are plenty of places to buy it in Melbourne. 1st Choice liquor would have it.

priorities.. i'll never skimp on beer

the Weißbier Dunkel is my favourite...

Cool, I'll try to remember to check it out. I've been drinking Boags St George tonight.

Hi, I'm a uni student. James Squire beer is almost too expensive for me.

Carlton Draught 8)

i hear you... don't even bother will buying spirits because of their price (although i will if im pissed enough not to care)... refuses to buy any beer over $7

Nazi Taco:d

1/2 oz Cuervo Gold Tequila
1/2 oz Jagermeister

For a pint? or schooner? Coz it's not often you can get a pint for under $7 :lol:

Speaking of schooners. The pub up the road from my tafe just got new owners and now $3 schooners between 12pm and 6pm \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

Where i live you're lucky to get a schooner for under $7.

The joys of Western Sydney:lol:

I know the owners of the London Hotel, they own the bloody pub, and charge $8.50 for a schooner of Heine. If your povo and want Tooheys or VB it'll set you back $5.50 but they get packed out on Friday and Saturday nights, they must make a fucking fortune.

Brilliant Pub though IMO. Really nice place, got that old feel to it, that and the Royal Oak are the nicest pubs in Balmain for mine - shame their two of the most expensive hahaha.

The Great Southern Hotel on George Street does Pints of Heineken for $5 on monday nights. Fucking tops.

In Melbourne, P.J O'brien's in southgate does all their pints for $7-8, which is a great price for in the city. Especially compared to places like Y&J and Transport.

Schooner obviously being Sydney, you only get Pints in Irish pubs but im quite willing to pay the extra... on the money sydneycroatia, $3.50 beer's at the Three Swallows in Yagoona

Heinekein i think i've been to the Royal Oak.... once, a couple years back on NYE, the chicks we're hot ;)

I think Kemps Creek Bowlo has $1.50 schooners from 1pm-3pm on Frodays which is a massive win since I finish tafe at 11 :lol:

See you've got the advantage of the Western Suburbs being cheaper beer but then the pitfall is that a lot of the better talent is closer to the coast which therefore means dearer beer:lol:

Edited by sydneycroatia58: 30/3/2010 10:15:16 PM

inability to chase tail due to insufficient funds to drink

Same problem here mate.

At the moment alcohol comes before women so until I get a job I'll focus on getting my cheap schooners :lol:

That's pretty awesome. But it's a bowlo.

We used to get $10 jugs at the bar near Uni, but then it changed hands and now we don't :(

Meh Bowlo's are alright depending on who's there. Some of the oldies are pretty funny and they got a stunner of a bartender so it's worth going back:lol:

Heres a handy hint: I used to live in Kemps Creek. Good old Devonshire Rd which seemed like it was 20kms long.

it's always worth going back if the bartender chick is hot... thus Three Swallows, after awhile to get to know most of them :d
Bowlo's are contentious cause their dirt cheap but the patronage is iffy at the best of times, personally i don't like to hang out where the majority of people are over 40.... let alone on the pension, but cheap beer is cheap beer

Yeah, but you could go to bars where there's a hot bartender AND hot patrons :lol: And not so many seedy old people.

It's $1.50 schooners the hot bartender is enough to get me there:lol:

Fuckin' Oath $1.50 schooner. I'm paying through the bloody nose hahaha. Nex time im at the pub and handing over 6-7 bucks im gonna think of that :lol:

Schooners shouldn't be any more than $5.50.

tell that to Justin Hemmes

Best way to pick up = tag along with mate to uni bar. $2.50 JUGS of New. So cheap and so many hotties at uni.
