What do you drink (alcohol) and how much?

XRchic · 20-06-2005, 02:03 PM

Just wondering what people on here drink and how much/regularly you drink it.

My personal favourites are Vodka related. Vodka and Coke, Vodka and Lemonade, Vodka and Orange and various Tart Fuels (tm) such as Vodka Cruisers (red and blue).

I used to drink Vodka a lot, but I havent had much in the last few months. I dont drink beer at all, but I have been known to have various kinds of scotch and other spirits. Not much into cocktails and martinis and things like that. Not a big wine drinker either, but if I do, it would be some expensive red.

Cheers

6 light beers per weekend and the occossianal bottle of wine I behave myself these days.

Racecraft · 20-06-2005, 02:15 PM

ive calmed down too. Hangovers just aren't worth it!!! I get em REAL bad!!

I've been drinking Canadian Club lately... usually a fourpack on fri or sat night and then if we go one to the club or something i'll have whatever ppls buy me :the_finge haha! Nah i'll buy whatever i feel like at the time.

Not a fan of beer. too gassy and just makes me feel sick. I used to drink Jim Beam and coke but i've gone off coke lately ... don't like thinking im not tired when really i am!! That really gets me the next day too!!

FordFan86 · 20-06-2005, 02:32 PM

Homebrew... 1 everycouple of nites (740ml bottle) atleast once every 2 weeks have several... and a few glasses of southenr and coke.. i don't go overboard now, just enough to get me there and keep me going for awhile

MITCHAY · 20-06-2005, 02:38 PM

Im on beers now. Carlton Draught is my fav. Ive drank too much spirits. I cant touch vodka or Beam anymore. How much do you ask? Well not as much as I used to but still too f**king much lol say maybe 18 outta a case when i go to partys. Might have 1 or 2 during the week. Mmm i get more hangovers on beer though than i ever did with spirits. Only had about 12 beers over 2 days this week so pretty moderate drinking.

Kenaz · 20-06-2005, 02:47 PM

On average, about 14 stubbies a week. The occasional Beam and Coke as well.

neb · 20-06-2005, 02:59 PM

don't really drink much anymore.. in the last 4 months.. i've probably drank 3 times.. and each of those times i had no more than 3 drinks. but before that i drank pretty much every weekend and during the week a bit as well, and drank alot at a time. beer and spirits.

lol i wouldnt say that ive grown out of it by choice, my current work situation prevents it. I wont turn up to work with a hangover just makes the day even more sh!t and its not fair on the boss when he pays me to work and im hungover. Give me the weekend of work and i make the most of it

PULLY6 · 20-06-2005, 03:02 PM

Beer: Toohey's Extra Dry, XXXX Bitter, or Coopers Pale Ale

Occaisonally I hit Vodka, Lemon & Limes hard (usually when I go out)

I drink most weekends, even though I work saturday and/or sunday. I very rarely drink during the week, unless its a beer or bottle of red with Dad.

Duffman · 20-06-2005, 03:36 PM

Haha there have been a few drinking topics lately. I always find Mitchay seems to be a supporter ;) I aint drunk much lately due to exams but I was drinking the old SC (southern comfort) bit of a chicks drink but it tasted nice. Don't like beer if I did id just drink dam water instead.. tastes the same. I find if I stop drinking for awhile im struggs to start again as when I start feeling the effect im thinkin nah I don't want this. Also the hangovers are killers I gotta drink like 100lt of water the next day and the money.. it hurts!

Damn right. One of mine got shut down as i remember lol. If you drink in moderation you wont have any troubles.

SpoolMan · 20-06-2005, 03:45 PM

Maybe 4 to 6 glasses of Canadian Club and Pepsi Max a week...
Although someone recently gave me a 1.75 litre bottle Jeam Beam...
:baby bott

Lucky you don't live in Brisbane im sure we would be partying every week. To actually cause extensive damage from aclohol (cirhossis) you need to drink heavily for a long period of time.

I used to be on the pre-mixed drinks but that was too expensive, even though I have converted to straight stuff it still don't seem to be any cheaper.

Oh go the pepsi max... so much better then coke.

XRated · 20-06-2005, 03:38 PM

I used to drink pretty heavily on weekends (10-12+ beers a session). During Uni holidays it was worse and I drank night after night with my mate/s.. After getting more info on the bad side of alcohol, I have been good lately and plan on staying that way. It's too much money wasted, makes me feel like crap the next day, and in general isn't doing any good to my insides. I hope I've grown up and learnt my lesson :/

BTW, I'm a big beer fan and usually prefer it over spirits. Nothing like an ice-cold beer on a hot day. I also enjoy Vodka, Bacardi (not premixed), Canadian Club, Cougar etc.

NIGHTHAWK · 20-06-2005, 04:25 PM

It used to be rum and coke.Being a locksmith and on the road all the time has put an end to that.

Steffo · 20-06-2005, 04:25 PM

I really like wine, all types of wine, depending on the ocassion etc.

I like good beer, no cheap crap that tastes like ****.

Brandy is nice. Has to be at least VSOP... and well, XO... heh.

I also like Rakija, that's a Serbian spirit drink, can be made of a variety, most common is from fermented plums, or pears or grapes. Apples too. Really nice. Its also a great medicine.. heh.

Don't mind Vodka & Orange, or good whiskey either.

As for the non alcoholic drinks.. 100% Orange Juice (none of that watered down fruit drink or mixed crap)... Strawberry Nectar, Peach Nectar.. and Vanilla Coke.

Oh.. and Knjaz Milos

Gotta be the best Sparkling mineral water there is.. not too strong, just right to drink.

And of course, water :P

AdzT3-146 · 20-06-2005, 04:28 PM

probably have 3-6 drinks during the week in total, either becks or jim beam

on a saturday night between 6-10 drinks, either beer or bourbon, depends what they have when i go out.

smciner1 · 20-06-2005, 05:12 PM

Mainly Beer: VB, Cooper Pale Ale and of course Guinness (tm) Nectar of the Gods! Spirits wise, Scotch and Coke is always good after a few Beers.

:

Perana · 20-06-2005, 05:38 PM

Im mainly into spirits, lately have been mainly drinking Canadian Club, also like Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker :P

Not really a fan of beer but I do like GUINNESS (tm) !

Sylox · 20-06-2005, 06:05 PM

Toohey's Extra Dry I dont drink that much but reading this has made me thirsty. Off to get some more

460cixy · 20-06-2005, 07:20 PM

vb all the way tonight i did good only had 4 ;) most nights 10 beers and up

Phil · 20-06-2005, 07:23 PM

Makers Mark, Jim beam black, Cougar
dont like beer

bindi · 20-06-2005, 08:06 PM

I thought we did this recently?

Cocksuckers all the way, hey Gerardine (got it right!).

Also used to be a bit of a boozer on weekends (never a weekend went by where I didn't get sloshed to the eyeballs) but now, cbf. Too much hassle the day after... walking around the house like a zombie, head throbbing.

Also I think it's a bad example to set to the children as they have gotten older and I don't want them thinking it's cool to get so shytefaced that you can't remember your name (been there, done that, bought the t-shirt... some vague memory of going down the main street of Katoomba at 3am in a shopping trolley).

Anyway I now drink a bit of wine off and on, and if I do drink it's only a couple of cowboys followed by heaps of water.

20-06-2005, 08:02 PM

I used to be a heavy drinker for a while when i was between 16-18. i have quitened down now and generally only drink on weekends. if i do get into it, i usually polish off a bottle of jacks or beam which in most cases results in a BIG hang over the next day. but hey, at the time it seems like a good idea.

overall, definitely jacks or beam for me. and coopers pale ale or carlton cold for a beer
actually, just got back from Bali and their Bintang isnt too bad. anyone else tried it?

TURBOTAXI · 20-06-2005, 08:05 PM

Oh jeez. Um If I have to be honest I drink too much
Normally about 4 pints per night, plus wine if Jen is having some with dinner.
But on the bright side it is home brew so it costs next to nothing. More than 4-5 std drinks per day for a male is high risk.

big_pete · 20-06-2005, 08:17 PM

I usually only have one BIG night a week, were i get on it pretty hard.
usually just drink beer, and usually end up with a decent hangover most sundays

ive had heaps of 21st parties to go to lately,
and im not one to turn down free beer ;)

bindi · 20-06-2005, 08:21 PM

Big Pete, whatever the hell your avatar is, it's weird... and odd... and it's freaking me out and I am going to get nightmares and then I'll have a very cranky husband who's had no sleep get on ff and have words with you!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The pain the pain the pain make it stop!

Honestly mate that is weirdass.
