Time for another touchy- feely get-to-know-you thread.

Well being Australian I drink lots of Australian beers like Tooheys Extra Dry and Crown Lager. (Fosters is 'Export' quality, we don't touch the stuff here).

On a recent trip to Bali I drank lots of the local brew, an exceptional pilsener called Bintang. At $1AUD the price was damn excellent (thats about $0.50USD) too.

If I'm up for a big night a drink lots of Scotch (mixed with dry ginger ale) and Russians (Vodka + Kahlua with either Coke or milk). The Russians will screw with my brain but the scotch I'll drink til 4am and still be fine (although I will wake up really drunk the next afternoon).

If I'm coming back from overseas I'll get a litre of better scotch (21 years Chivas or Johnny Walker Blue) and I'll drink that at home with ice.

At work I'll drink the boss's prefered choice of VB (cause he fills up the fridge with em). VB is probabaly the Australian baseline beer.

So there's my brief summary of what I drink.

Cheers,
Askan

Lots and lots of extra-strong cappachino's. That's my way of surviving university.

now thats just ingenious. i bet it worked too. I have never heard of that being used as a remedy, but that is about 99% of what goes into most modern throat elixers such as Vicks, Nyquil, or Robotusen (did i spell those right? oh well.. do i ever spell anything right?)

A cold diet-mountin dew.... very very little alcohol since the service, I think I got my fill back in my younger days. Oh, on a real real hot day a nice iced glass of cold beer
but that's rare.. I stick to juice and diet dew.... Also less calories, at my age, no extra weight is welcomed....

just some ideas mac

coffee..coffee..coffee....is there anything else

I have found no other reason to drink alcohol than to get drunk, which I just don't like to do anymore...

interesting reading of all the drinking choices...... couple questions/comments

1) Is sweet tea the same thing as Ice Tea ??
2) hmmmm...SEIV players not big drinkers a correlation between the two??
3) apprarently Tequila is the only alcholic beverage that DOES NOT cause depression when intoxicated....being made from Guava plant (I think that's the right plant) gives it some special property.....
4) all the water drinkers seem to be "tap water" drinkers as oppossed to "bottle water" drinkers....I am surprised! all I see everywhere now is bottled water, bottled water blah blah (and such a ripoff to boot...)

Yeah, we disagree about Southern Baptists, but you're dead right about tea! I call that "real iced tea" as opposed to all other kinds. I never thought of it as Southern, though. That's just how my mom made it.
