As an alcoholic...
 

I'm looking to try a new "favorite" drink to replace the Gin and Tonic... what's your goto favorite?

Beer........ makes you feel less of an alcoholic.....

Sticky, do you have a favorite?

Not really, if it's expensive it's probably decent......

Vodka and Seven Up.

Vodka and Orange Juice.

Vodka and Club Soda.

Vodka and Tonic Water.

Vodka rocks.

Basically vodka with anything or just vodka by itself.

Avoid mixers containing high fructose corn syrup though.

:thumbsup

Was almost going to switch to Whiskey and Coke, but maybe I'll go with Vodka instead.

Personally enjoy Gin Tonic but know a few guys that like Vodka Tonic. What type of Gin?


At this point in life I'm done drinking coke.

"Brown" liquors contain more nasties than does a decent vodka:

"One reason for the different effects of vodka and bourbon, Rohsenow says, could be that bourbon contains 37 times more toxic compounds than vodka does, including nasty organic molecules such as acetone, acetaldehyde, tannins and furfural. A good rule of thumb for liquors, she says, is that the clearer they are, the less of these substances they contain."

"Hangover Cures & Remedies

A hangover is caused by a combination of the toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism (acetaldehyde), dehydration, and Vitamin A, B (particularly B6) and C depletion caused by the chemical action of alcohol on your system. The symptoms are usually a dry mouth, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and headache and are caused by a combination of these factors.

Apart from the obvious toxic effects, you should realise you're suffering the effects of a mild overdose of a depressant drug and your nerves are reacting accordingly, and you have also flushed a signifnicant quantity of vitamins and nutrients from your system causing a degree of metabolic shock that your body is struggling to compensate against. This is why hangover symptoms often include disorientation and "the jitters".

Some drinks give you worse hangovers than others due to the actions of impurities called Congeners. While it's the ethyl alcohol (ethanol) that gets you drunk, amyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol is also found in most drinks to varying degrees, and the concentration of these Congeners will go a long way to determining the severity of the hangover.

Vodka and gin (clear liquors) are generally lower in congeners than whisky, rum and bourbon, due to the filtering process involved, and hence usually give a less intense hangover. Unfortunately the congeners also give flavor, smell and appearance to alcohol.

Another contributor to the hangover is the "freshness" of the alcohol since the natural oxidation product of ethanol is also acetaldehyde. Finishing off an already open bottle of red, or drinking beer that's been in the boot of your car for a week, will provide you with a ready made supply of acetaldehyde so you don't have to wait for your liver to make it in order to have a really good hangover."

The BEST vodka is vodka made from potatoes:

Kombucha! :)

hard to believe thinking, intelligent people would subject their bodies to that at all anymore, it was one thing being young and stupid before, but now that one knows better... :2 cents:

Wine + mineral water, freshier to drink

where are you from?

Water :pimp

d-null? Should be d-dull

beefeater martini, up with olives, very dry.

or a bottle of midleton (or jameson if times are tough) Irish whiskey and a glass.

whiskey grants with ice green tea aloe vera ... :thumbsup

Whiskey and a spash of sprite - when I'm in Australia I drink bundy and coke but that amount of coke can't be good for me.

It also makes your "belly" bigger and makes you fart louder. Not a good solution IMHO. I suggest a good vine.

That's just an IMHO of a Russian who is supposed to love Vodka. Actually I really use Vodka, but not to get drunk but as a preventive measure when I feel that I've just got a cold. It's very effective among with a garlic and red pepper at the first stage of a flu (while your body temperature is still normal yet).

White sambuca with ice

Wild Turkey 101 with ginger ale or on the rocks.

Real Alcoholics drink Lysol

If you are an alcoholic you really don´t have that much time to mix a drink.

Me? Tom Collins. Jameson, straight. Three Olive Tanqueray Martini. A river of beer.

You should get to the point of being able to get drunk with pure water ...

I don't know about you guys... but for me there's no alternative to drinking vodka or tequila clean. No mixers, no ice, no splash of anything. Just a high quality top shelf bottle and a nice glass.

Spend a hundred bucks on a bottle and drink it clean, there's nothing better :)

lol this stuff is difficult to maintain? How do you know if it goes bad?

vodka + whatever :thumbsup

American Craft Beers, DIPAs being my favorite

For the weight consious drinker,

FYI your average shot of vodka contains only around 59 calories. Mix it with any zero calorie softdrink or unsweetened fruit juice blend and there's your new go-to drink.

go for really complicated cocktails... makes you look less of an alcoholic.. you just really like to cook

Captain Morgan with Coke Zero, but also Vodka and Mountain Dew!! But I just tried Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey Whisky and its good!! :winkwink:

Heineken isn't bad, just picked up a 12 pack. I like to switch around to different beers to keep things interesting, but I generally drink beer.

:thumbsup

And when I'm bloated from too much beer and want to keep drinking, I'll start on scotch. Unfortunately, that's a recipe for an epic hangover.

I have to admit, I have never been bloated from drinking craft beers; probably because they are not sucked down like a Coors or Budweiser.

I love craft beers too and IPAs are a favorite. The grocery stores have started picking up some too, which has been great. I can just grab some Dogfish Head now if I want or some other local brand or any of the Cigar City beers which are pretty good.

Here is a tip (or 2), for whomever.

1. Drink it out of a glass
2. Let it warm a little, will bring the taste out more (like wine).

Any brand of cheap perfume. Costs way less than a bottle of wodka and gets the job done quickly.

Most alcoholics can't afford to spend $100/day on on liquor :)

Usually drink...

Corona
Stella Artois
Vodka + Anything

and sometimes hit the Tequila :thumbsup

Vinjak! :thumbsup
