La Chouffe. I highly recommend this Ale. It's the best I've ever had.

Water, milk (the fat stuff, not the awful watery stuff), and coffee. Lots of coffee. I rarely drink alcohol these days, but if I do I prefer Belgian Beer or white wine.

I know that most of the bull**** myths that surround Absinthe (such as the hallucinations one), are, well, bull****.... But it's legal now?

I meant the 80% Absinthe... You sure that's legal? As far as I know it's a still too high % according to the law.

I bought a bottle of absinthe at Alko about a year ago - I don't remember the alcohol content, but I don't think it was as high as 80%. And looking through Alko's pages, apparently the laws on adverticing alcohol prevent them from including any drinks above 22% in their web pages - so no info on absinthe there.

In any case, the "proper" way to drink Absinthe has you dilute it with water, poured through a sugar cube. For lower alcohol content absinthe, you just use less water.

That's my favorite, slimgrin. I have been to the brewery in Achouffe (near Houffalize, Belgian Ardennes). That's a story on its own. And I have had the original stuff before LaChouffe was an official company.

Sadly, a few years ago I became allergic to beer. No kidding. And La Chouffe is the only beer I miss. Big time.

Is it because of alcohol in general or is it something in the beer itself. If the latter then there must a be beer out there without it.

Edit: Do you know why the company only had 0.7 liter bottles? Because the bottling machine was bought from an old milk factory and couldn't handle small bottles. True story.

These days they do have smaller bottles, though. In Amsterdam they have it on draft. Very nice.

I quit drinking before I left the Army but.....

I usually drank vodka and my favorite wine was Eiswein. I couldn't stand the taste of beer though.

[por favor]

I'm not much of a fan of alcohol, but if it's watered down and really fruity, I'll drink it. I love Cosmopolitans and oddly enough, dark wine.

Absolutely hate beer and vodka.

What happens when you drink it? I developed a problem with it too about 10 years ago when the very taste would make me feel ill, I had no problem with it all up until that point. I don't really miss it, I prefer vodka.

[ianmcdonald]

I'm not really a fan of hard liquor. Things start to get a little pukey if I have too much.

I do like beer, though. I've taken a liking to Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron. It's very delicious.

It's just beer, perhaps the hops. But I initially experimented with different types of beer, and the reaction started like clockwork with all of them. It was a bit like playing Russian roulette so I just quit altogether. Food allergies are hell to try and isolate and identify. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

As for the symptoms, they would go like this:

-Sinus agitation, including stuffy nose and sneezing. 

-Itching on back of hands

-Hives on my face and arms

Some foods have caused my esophagus to go into fits and swell paifully. The beer never did that. Weird thing is I've been allergy free up till my mid twenties, then all this **** happened a few years ago, like it was programmed in me.

If you talk about alcohol, then nothing.

[BlaznZero]

A good Everclear mix, Hennessy (only very rare occassions, not a fan of the taste),

or any ordinary beer as long as it doesn't taste like probable Cat's Urine.

Eh... I literally drink hot sauce from the bottle  and also cheap energy drinks 

[Joshd21]

I am currently drinking aged whinkey three years. I got it for my birthday from my family. I am mixing it with orange soda. As long as you don't drink it all under 30 minutes, it gives a strong impact on the person. Seriously all you guys who drink water, put down the kool aid for a second and try a drink.

No no no no no no no.

Scotch Whisky it is called. WhiskEy is the name of other drinks from other countries, like Ireland or the USA, which were called that originally because they were not genuine whisky - the only genuine whisky coming from Scotland.

Just sayin' - if it's proper Scotch it's Whisky. If it's whiskey, it's not proper scotch.

As for drinks? Good wine, Whisky (never whiskey), some very very good rum (bad or clear rum is vile putrid filth) and real ale, never lager or disgusting american beers that you have to drink cold to remove the taste. If I'm feeling like a nasty drink, cider or poitin.

Several drinks off the top of my head...

La Fin du Monde: A Belgian-style Tripel from Quebec, this is hands-down the best beer produced in Canada. The thing is, it has a taste that I don't normally associate with beer - a sort of fruity, yeasty (from being refermented in the bottle) and extremely carbonate taste. It's 9% ABV, but you cannot taste the alcohol. Just a superb, superb beer.

Finlandia Vodka: Vodka from Finland (duh!). Unlike many people who use vodka exclusively as an ingredient in mixers, I drink vodka straight, and Finlandia is usually my first choice. It has a very clear, smooth taste (if a vodka can have "taste"), and it's not as expensive as higher-end vodkas such as Grey Goose

Jägermeister: Jägermeister's a funny drink - I go back and forth on whether I actually like it or not. Given that's it made from 56 herbs and spices (chosen at random, apparently) drinking the stuff is like an assault on the tastebuds. My chief gripe is that, while it tastes lovely when it first hits the tongue, on the way down Jägermeister feels very much cough syrup, which is far less pleasant.

Guinness: It's Guinness, no explanation needed. The only problem is that the flavour doesn't quite live up to its rich black colour; I dare say it tastes a bit watery. There is a version called Guinness Extra Stout (or Original Stout) that's supposed to taste more like the original brew, but they don't sell it where I live, sadly.

[whykikyouwhy]

Depends on the season and occasion but usually, I lean toward either straight spirits (10-12yr old single malt Scotch or whiskey, maybe a nice Anejo tequila) or some of the classic cocktails (the Sidecar, Vesper martini, champagne cocktails, etc).

[Wicked 702]

Been hooked on Blue Moon recently. Their Pale Ale is simply delicious. I tend to prefer beers that were brewed with various fruits.

Been drinkin' some mid-range Bourbon recently as well. Woodward Reserve it's called I believe.

It's not the same unless you go and drink it in its original home.

(I'm assuming you're not in Ireland because you drink Canadian beer, forgive me if I'm wrong)
