Serious alcohol dilemma...

[MSTRS:Me]

Malt whisky should always have a splash of water added. It liberates the volatiles, greatly enhancing the sipping pleasure.

I think you are wrong! I most definitely disagree with you! However, I will defend your right to be wrong to the death!

Now for some advice from a professional ......


Try crazy mexicans they are an rtd that have tequila, vodka, lime and something else I can't remember its a 6%er or try stark which is flavoured water with vodka it has no hangover and you can still get pissed on it.

If you are into mixing your own my favourite is...

Fresh lime juice, cut or crushed fresh strawberries ginger beer and vodka. Make sure you use decent vodka, try STILL or 42 below vodka. these two vodkas are NZ made and very good. Still is alot cheaper then 42 below.

or 42 below feijoa flavoured vodka and lemonade is nice too.

stay away from codeys and woodstock rtds basically anything with caffeine in them cause they always make me feel ill.

as for party pills and alcohol you can mix them but it recommends you don't. The BAD effect of doing this is it increases you dehydration and will give you a major hangover. If you don't ever want a hangover drink about a litre of water before you go to bed and you'll wake up feel all good.

When I go to work i'll have a look for some more suggestions for you.

peace out

I found that I get very acidy (reflux?) when drinking Vodka and orange or lemon or some shit. I like vodka so I just changed to lemonade. I think those cruiser things are too sweet - built for kiddies. The other option is just to drink vodka straight, which is ok if you drink quality vodka - Old Grey Hen or Absolut or 42 Beolw.

Turbo shandy:
half an handle of Macs gold
one shot of tequila
top up with 4% organic (home brew) lemonade

Vodka and Redbull... Just a couple and you'll be rather chirpy...

Malibu and pineapple juice... I find staying away from the fizzy drinks helps...

Just find it strange what was mentioned bout the Vodka Cruisers..... I managed 2 last night and ended up with a splitting headache....

I can't stress drinking water enough... Have one drink.. Then one glass of water... One drink... One glass of water...

Or maybe drinkings just no good... Its for some not for others... If you're body doesn't like it then its best to avoid....

Stark is actually quite nice in a glass with ALOT of ice...

Water is the best drink, particularly when consumed in good spirits...

Hitcher is correct as usual - the softer the water the better

I find that a dose of Losec before a session removes reflux issues...

Please consult your health professional for a prescription.

One could stop drinking, but that would be crazy talk

and not ice cold water, it's got to be still and at room temp.

This is correct - and certainly not ice, unless you are a Yank, which would mean you had no taste anyway

[Hitcher]

Malt whisky. Ice?? Gahhh! Thud.

Classic. After lurking for a while on the kb forums, is it a bike thread which pulls the first post out of me? Of course not. It's a drinking thread.

I'm a USAn who has yet to visit your fine country, but am working on plans (hence the lurking here to get a feel for the place through the eyes of common souls). So here's the question: Is Kentucky Bourbon known down there? Of all the whisk[e]ys I enjoy, bourbon on the rocks is the one by which I can properly annihilate myself in the evening without regrets the next morning.

Oh, and... Hi. My name's timk. I like motorbikes.

Goddammit! My first post, and in it I admit to being a Yank who puts ice in my bourbon, and then I see this posted at the same time. Sheesh. Way to introduce myself with a foot already in my mouth. Fack. Well, at least it can only go up from here eh?

You can put ice in your bourbon, timk, but please don't put it in your scotch!!!!
