What do you drink when you go out? Any drinks you tend to avoid?

Summer time? Icy cold Killians. Love it, but just one, or if I'm out, two if they'll pour a half pint. :)

With a meal I like a little white or red depending on the meal, but I'm not much of a hard alcohol person. I also prefer to stay sober unless I'm drinking wine in Italy -- the land of no hangovers. ;)

Has anyone tried Everclear 190? It's the highest alcohol content that you can drink. Everclear is illegal, unavailable, or difficult to find in many areas. 7 states have banned them. It's 95% alcohol or 190 proof! There is also Everclear 151 which is easier to obtain.

Yep. Had it once.

I have no desire to drink it again.

Hmm, I bet it will burn my throat if I drink it straight. If I try it, I would probably have a chaser with it. It recommend that you suppose to drink it with a mixer.

I saw some recipes that include Everclear, Bacardi 151 and some other mixers. I bet it could knock someone down quickly!

I've never had a favorite drink. After I visited Nashville I liked Jack and Coke. After I went to the Caribbean I liked Jungle Juice. Japan...saki. Maybe I just go with the local flow...

I remember someone making punch with it at a party when I was an under grad; luckily I don't care for punch... I remember a lot of people really getting sick because of it. The problem with most college kids is drinking responsibly seems not be a big priority. I think there is a good reason it's not easily available.

Yeah, I've had a straight shot of it, and it felt like I was drinking acid.

With some triple sec & orange juice, it was far more tolerable, but still quite rough.

It didn't make me sick, but it did knock my large ass out of commission.

I only go out to bars or clubs when friends visit, so can't say I have a regular drink. Usually I'll get a club soda with lime. I avoid drinks with sugar or HFCS (any high glycemic index), so that rules out soft drinks. And I won't drink anything with artificial sweetener, period. Unsweetened iced tea is something else I order. Sometimes I'll splurge and have an orange or cranberry juice, but usually only if I'm eating something, too. Too acidic otherwise.

I have never in my life tried alcohol (beer, wine, spirits) and have no interest in starting.

I once partied with a guy years ago and I remember one night we'd gotten pissed as rats then topped it off with a couple shots: jagermeister with 151 floats.

I had never been so sick and haven't since. Fortunately the partying phase passed and I stick to IPA or red wine if I have any alcohol.

I like to relax with a nice cold homebrew when I get home from work. Thereafter I settle into rum and diet coke for the night. If I'm out for the night though, I tend to stick with beer. Liquor prices are simply outrageous (not that beer prices aren't).

Tonight I've been drinking vodka sunrises (we had no tequila), tia maria and milk, and cider. I guess that pretty much covers the drinks I drink (although to be honest, I'll drink whatever's going).
