Wink The Officially Unofficial Alcohol Thread

Out of pure unbridled boredom, I thought I'd start a thread, hopefully consisting of opinions on favorite beers, liquors, wines, whatever, stories, opinions, etc. all welcome...

Thought I'd start it off with my fav vodka, belvedere. And the most delicious beer Ive ever had [and not cheap at 18.50 a bottle (and thats just 12 ounces!!!)]

<trappist Westvleteren 12 Belgian Beer

Favorite mixed drink would probably either have to be a screwdriver or flaming dr pepper

Anyway, this thread will probably just fall on its face but oh well I got nothin to do tonight haha...

Grey Goose Vodka doesn't make me feel nearly as wasted as other cheaper Vodkas like Smirnof or Troika or whatever...

In fact I always feel perfectly fine the day after.

I like Chimay as a more affordable Monk-made Belgian beer <goes SO well with cheese and crackers
For some reason I HATE grey goose, I took a shot once and almost threw up, has anyone ever done a shot of triple sec? OH GOD SO

I love regular shiner, been meaning to try that new black lager but I'm not a huge fan of really dark beers.

Before my days (Aug 2002) of enjoying a good beer ended this was my favorite:

Rodenbach Grand Cru



Micheal Jackson review: http://rarebeerclub.beveragebistro.com/rbc_v03n01.html

BTW I had a half of a case on hand...my son got it and did not share it with his friends who would have swilled it down without any appreciation of its finer qualities.

one local bar around here has it on tap

I also can drink the heck out of blue moon! The other weekend I tried Sam Adams equivalent of Blue Moon, with their White Ale. Delicious stuff as well. After drinking 9 in 3 hours I was toast
